what if fyodor somehow managed to transmit like a million totally and wildly fabricated memories to sigma just to throw him and the ada off and he was actually born in 1990 with normal parents who did normal things who raised him normally and he’s just like that for the bit

‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

Before chapter 113 comes out and BSD in general progresses, I'd just like to get out this half-baked theory/observation that I'm not going to think too hard about and you shouldn't either. I'll admit I haven't checked the information in a while.
So, assuming the anime putting Fyodor in the ADA backstory was actually done with Asagiri's approval as a coherent piece of the plot, there are two things I want to note:
Fyodor looked the same age as he does in canon. This has been used to suggest that he's really old, but even old people change at least a little in twelve years.
He said that "V" referred to "five", and, later, we find out that "five" refers to the five members of the DoA.
Sigma, one of the five Decay members, was created from the book three years before the events of canon. Nine years after we first heard "V" mentioned.
This leaves us with a few options. Firstly and most likely: I'm an idiot. Second: there were different members that ended up being replaced by Sigma, or else Sigma has existed for longer, and everyone is either lying about his backstory, or something happened to him to make him lose his memories, and Fyodor tracked him down and brought him back into the DoA.
Finally, and in my opinion the most interesting theory: Fyodor is time travelling. I don't necessarily think that that's what's happening, but I saw someone suggest it, and this is, I think, a good piece of evidence.
It would explain why the guy in the background projection during the stageplay Ranpo and Fukuzawa watched looked like Fyodor in his Meursault attire. People have already made the connections between what looks like Fyodor being crucified, and his last words before he got exploded/crushed/his arm ripped off. Maybe Fyodor is trying to communicate with someone?
Since he (when we for sure see him on the rooftop at the very end of the arc) is wearing the outfit he did before he got locked up, it's possible he travelled back a while ago, and post-Meursault Fyodor is in some way capable of sending messages back, dead or alive. The reason for this is: Fyodor is already back in that time period, if he knew everything that will happen in the future why wouldn't he just tell whoever he's trying to communicate with/act on the information himself? Either post-Meursault Fyodor is communicating with someone in that time period, or any itteration of Fyodor is trying to communicate with someone else subtly because they are in some way unable to otherwise communicate.
Anyways, yeah. Don't take my word vomit too seriously.
What if Jesus and Dostoevsky were something more than oomfs…
common ao3 occurrence:
*clicks on a fic tagged with angst*
authors note: hey guys! don’t worry there won’t actually be that much angst here, at least not super heavy stuff, mostly comfort
me: aw man :( i wanted angst tho. oh well, still looks rlly good so I’ll read it
me later, emerging from the fic covered in blood and tears: WHAT TF DID THEY MEAN NOT ACTUALLY THAT MUCH ANGST. THIS WAS DEVASTATING
i'm actually taking the whole fyodasaku thing seriously
About Chapter 114
okay imo Fyodors imortality is bc of his ability to possess other peoples bodies but i have seen people saying that it'll be sigma and idk about that. I think the most logical conclusion would be Nikolai. For one, he's technically the reason Fyodor 'died' just like the guard in the flashback but it would also fit so well within his character arc. There is a parallel of the overcoat in 'the overcoat' and his freedom being ironically taken right after he gets it. Also Nikolai already planned to kill himself and if he actually was posessed his death would also mean his freedom from fyodor. Nikolai was also near his dead body for the whole time, maybe thats also relevant. I mean where is Nikolai?
Jason and Bruce are out late one night in Gotham as civilians. They get cornered by a mugger and Jason nearly pisses himself, he’s so amused. He teases the would-be mugger about their hand placement, even tries to goad the mugger into a fight because he’s Red Hood. He can disarm anyone in seconds. It doesn’t matter if you have a gun — he has two.
He’s Red Hood, and he has the literal Bat of Gotham standing behind him like a wall of muscle. They’re as close to invincible as humans get, in this town. And that kind of confidence scares off their would-be mugger.
But then Jason turns around, a smile stretching across his face, and Bruce is white. Bone white and so so quiet, eyes wide and trained on where the mugger had been standing.
