so, this might not make sense, but I was thinking about the port mafia transfer.

Asagiri probably wants to surprise us all, and choose someone no one expected. And that had me thinking.

Who is someone no one is really expecting? A lot of people think it’ll be Dazai, or Tanizaki, or Ranpo.

But what are the chances Fukuzawa himself gets chosen? He’s their leader, and therefore part of the detective agency.

Without their leader, the agency very well may fall apart, and would become weak and vulnerable.

Sure, Kunikida would step up to take the leadership role if that were to happen, but if Fukuzawa is no longer in the agency, Kyouka and Atsushi and maybe other would lose ALL control over their ability.

And what is something that Mori could gain from Fukuzawa’s ability?

It could make it so Chuuya could control corruption. And they wouldn’t exactly need Dazai anymore to make sure he doesn’t die. They’d be able to use their trump card all the time.

that’s all I can think of at the moment, this probably isn’t very well thought out, but I wanted to share :3

Saff’s response:

Kim you are a genius. This is such a Mōri move, he definitely would. The agreement only ruled out Yosano from the exchange, so that means that Fukuzawa is indeed an option. An unexpected one, but an option nevertheless. Imagine Mōri never giving Fukuzawa missions, because he knows Fukuzawa doesn't want to be an assassin anymore, and he wouldn't risk his cooperation; the only thing Mōri needs is to have Fukuzawa be a Mafioso in name only.

Kunikida isn't ready yet to be president, and the entirety of the agency would fall into chaos. Even Rampo would be shaken to his core; that's his father boss we're talking about. Yosano would have her hatred for Mōri increase tenfold, and with how big of an impact this might cause on everyone, Katai might re-join the agency to support Kunikida at his lowest.

I am so excited, and in love with this theory you don't even know Kim–

I can't go into full meta mode thought because of my exam tomorrow, but just know this: I'm absolutely rooting for this theory to happen.
