“Update on the yet unnamed dead (?) Special Class investigator: not a…”
I can’t imagine Marude or Suzuya doing that. I don’t think that Ui is going to kill himself either. I know he is grief-stricken but he is definitely collected, so that only leaves Houji. Houji felt guilty when he saw Seidou as the new Owl and if he is going to see both Tatara and Seidou again, this might affect him on a much greater scale than we initially thought.
Personally I don’t think Houji would let himself be affected to such a degree (it is literally impossible that he hasn’t lost subordinates before, and Takizawa wasn’t that special to him). He would have had to get used to this guilt long before, as Hachikawa had, as Ui had.
But that aside, this word used for suicide, “shunji” doesn’t refer to a person who kills themselves. It refers to their subordinates. So, for example, if Suzuya was killed in action, and then Hanbee and Nakarai-san decided to kill themselves, their suicides would be “shunji”. For the Special Class investigators, their commander is Yoshitoki, so he would have had to be killed for an investigator to kill themselves. Think Houji or Suzuya would be so inclined?
That is why I think what Urie was referring to, and what I’m worried about, is the ghoul side. I feel like the White Suits and Tatara’s followers have the only two structures (militarized and yakuza) that could support someone committing suicide after their leader is killed.
