So, I have another theory.
What's Asagiri's name? Kafka. Who else is Kafka? Franz Kafka. And who's this Franz? A writer. He's mostly known for the book "The Metamorphosis". Metamorphosis means change, right? And what can THE BOOK do? Change the reality.
So, in the Metamorphosis is told the story if a young man who suddenly transformed into a bug. His family tries to help him come back to normal and even give him food he would like in the new body, like rotten cheese. But after around a year the bug/guy overheard a conversation between his parents and sister. They all said they hated him and that they didn't need him anymore, so the guy/bug died from depression in a day. (This is a very short summary, I skipped over a lot of details)
The idea of the story is that one's change will change the whole world. And that's exactly what the book does. Changes the world.
So, according to my theory, the book is the ability Metamorphosis.
Now, about the author/character. He meets the criteria to be a BSD character. Dead, depressed, daddy issues (this is only half joke), religion trauma (kinda) and so on. He was a fan of Dostoievsky's and Gogol's work. So he could easily be a BSD character.
But this book doesn't exactly seem the kind of ability the good guys have, does it? So I think Kafka is a villain. If you may, the last antagonist they will fight. So I made some research to find ties between him and Atsushi Nakajima, because as mentioned in the Guild arc, Atsushi is the only one who could find the book. Turns out that Nakajima was a fan of Kafka and translated his works in Japanese. And not only that. The story Atsushi's ability is based on is about a guy who transformed into a tiger because he's very frustrated because of his poems that don't seem to work. I haven't read this one, but from what I've seen online it's very similar to the Metamorphosis. And this is why he'll be the only one able to find the book.
As we all noticed, usually the relationship between two characters is the opposite of the author's relationship (e.g: irl Ranpo was a huge fan of irl Poe, BSD Poe is a huge fan of BSD Ranpo, irl Yosano loved irl Mori, BSD Yosano hates BSD Mori). So, based on this, I would say that Kafka will most definitely be a villain.
The thing is, why would Asagiri choose to have the pen name of the ultimate villain?
Because the BSD story is supposed to be a world made by the book and Franz Kafka is Asagiri Kafka.
In conclusion: Franz/Asagiri Kafka will be the last antagonist of the series. His ability, the book, is Metamorphosis. And I'm delusional.
This could be wrong. After all, it's a theory. But let me know what you think, because I'm really curious.
Yay! I’ve got so many prompts! First up, have you seen that TikTok trend where a kid gets in trouble for sitting in The Boss’ chair, but then they realize that the kid is The Boss’. That, but with Owen! He’d get so cocky and believe himself to be untouchable because of his mother, but then Mama Shaw arrives and puts him in his place.
I have no idea what trend you're talking about, sorry friend. I don't use Tik Tok
But it is really funny to imagine Owen getting way too cocky and Mama Shaw having to put him in his place!

Owen smirked harder as he popped a hard candy into his mouth and sucked hard on it. He leaned back in the large, plush chair he was sitting in and looked across the large, mahogany desk
Standing in front of him was one of the largest crime bosses in London. Normally, the man would be towering over people and striking fear into their hearts
But in front of Owen, the man's head was bowed and his hands were shaking as he balled them up
Owen wasn't going to lie and say he wasn't tempted to make the man kneel before him. But he wouldn't take it that far. Not yet, at least
"Tell me, Brindly, how's business?"
"It's fine, Mr. Shaw." The man forced out from behind clenched teeth. The response only made Owen smirk harder
"Really?" Owen hummed in thought, rolling the candy in his mouth. Nonchalantly, he lifted his legs and propped them up on the desk. "I've heard from a few sources that you've been struggling to pay back what you owe me."
Well, owes his mother specifically. Everyone knew in the UK, if you wanted to do any serious business in the criminal world, you needed to pay a fee to Queenie Shaw
Owen kindly took it upon himself to collect a few of those fees personally
"Not at all." The man hissed. "I don't know what those liars are telling you, but me and my boys are doing just fine."
Owen raised an unimpressed eyebrow at the simmering anger just below the man's skin. It was just too much fun to mess with these stuck up, older criminals. They always had a certain pride that bruised far too easily. Far too tempting for Owen
"Then, I hope that you let me know if these rumors ever become reality." Owen smiled warmly, but his eyes sent a silent warning
The man nodded stiffly before turning on his heel and storming out. Owen didn't hide his snort of amusement at all as he watched the small temper tantrum
"Kim, who's next?" Owen called out, looking over to one of his mother's goons. The woman was always around in London to keep track of the family business when his mother was out of town
"I believe there's someone of a very high status that would like to see you." A dry voice called out instead of Kim's high pitched one
Owen jerked around in the chair and let his feet hit the ground. Standing in the doorway was his mother's right hand man: Jeffrey. Who didn't look one bit amused by the situation
"Give them my deepest apologies then." Owen said smoothly. "I'm quite busy."
"Don't you dare give me that kind of lip, you little whelp."
Owen flinched slightly as he heard his mother's voice
Jeffrey stepped further into the room, allowing Queenie Shaw to step into the room. She looked extremely unamused
"Get the bloody hell out of my chair, Oh." The snapped
"Of course, mother."

I hope you enjoyed friend!
My favorite house paring is a slytherin and a gryffindor think of the power couple. They would rule everything and keep each other in check
Slytherin: So, quittage captain, huh? Took you long enough. I'll finally have some good competition for my team.
Gryffindor: you really ready to give up your streak? Aw babe you do care.
Jason: The rich should get robbed at least once a week.
Bruce: Why?
Jason: Builds character.
if somebody hasn't already asked: may we please hear about your gotham rogues inferno placements? (sincerely, this sounds awesome)
Thank you! ❤️🥰 So i've been mulling it over in my head all day and here's what I have:
First Circle (Limbo) - Catwoman & Red Hood.
Placing both Selina and Jason in limbo is very representative of their duality in how they straddle the line between hero and villain. Both have a tendency to do the right thing where it counts but that shouldn't wipe out their other sins and the wrong they are willing to do to get ahead in their wants.
Second Circle (Lust) - Harley Quinn & Mad Hatter.
Both characters are driven by their desires. Harley is a victim of her own desires, her need for a strong figure to help shape and guide her actions and that has led her to her relationships with both Joker and Ivy and the carnage each have caused. Hatter is often guided by his delusional lust for an unobtainable ideal, his perfect Alice, and this goal has led to much of his evils.
Third Circle (Gluttony) - Penguin & Killer Croc.
Oswald is a man who values and enjoys the finer things in life. He has tasted hardship and he commits unspeakable acts to ensure that he never has to settle for the very best, be it his wine or his meals. Croc is being put here for his habit of human consumption. While it's not gluttony in the purest sense, I think it fits better than many of the other circles.
Fourth Circle (Greed) - Deadshot & Riddler.
Deadshot is an assassin for hire which makes his crimes a direct result of his greed and so this is most fitting for him. Riddler's greed comes more from his incessant desire to have everything which he feels is due to him. He craves attention, money, power, being the very best in what he does. His greed is relentless.
Fifth Circle (Anger) - Poison Ivy & Scarecrow.
Both Ivy and Crane are creatures fueled by rage. Ivy's rage towards mankind is unmistakable and leads her to cruelty towards her own people. Crane's hatred of mankind is more subtle but just as strong. He hates what the world has taken from him and punishes those who cross his path by forcing them to feel as miserable as he does.
Sixth Circle (Heresy) - Solomun Grundy & Mr Freeze.
The heresy of both men concerns their connections with death. Grundy is a walking zombie, an abomination which straddles the line of life and death with every step. Mr Freeze is a sadder figure but he also actively cheats death by forcing his wife to exist in a state of suspended animation and that's a mortal sin.
Seventh Circle (Violence) - Bane & Victor Zsasz.
Bane thrives in violence but possesses the mental capabilities to know exactly how to wield that violence to create the most devastation and pain to those he deems worthy of it. Zsasz is driven by his needs as a serial killer and he brings nothing to the world which houses him but pain and death.
Eighth Circle (Fraud) - Hugo Strange & Hush.
Hugo Strange is a fraud because he presents himself as a man with good intentions, one who wants to 'help' people but he is only interested in his own selfish gains. Hush is a more straight forward fraud because he claims the identity of another as his own with ill-intent and seeks to destroy it's original owner.
Ninth Circle (Treachery) - Two Face & Joker.
Harvey goes in treachery because his fate was to betray everything which he stood for as a man and as DA of Gotham and a betrayal of that magnitude cannot go unpunished. Joker, in a similar vein, is a traitor of all the good values of men and delights in making choices which cause the most suffering for the widest volume of people.

it will not Fix You but like. maybe. maybe.
you saw canon and said “it’s good…could be gayer” and ran with it. (i mean this in a nice way obviously)
Fast and Furious is about cars, booties, and hot people with booties driving cars
There is NO reason they can't all be gay
Doylist analysis: Both JK Rowling and SE Hinton have the same issue with their writing, where they fail to fully separate THEIR heterosexual woman perspective from the perspective of their teenage boy protagonists, which is why both Harry Potter and Ponyboy Curtis spend an absurd amount of time commenting on how attractive all of the teenage boys around them are.
Watsonian analysis: Harry Potter and Ponyboy Curtis are both exceptionally bisexual and just havent realized it yet.
