Okay guys, the first kanji of Akutagawa’s first name is 

龍 (ryuu), and it’s the out-dated kanji of 

竜 (ryuu) which stands for dragon. Why I’m talking about this? Because our beloved main character, Atsushi, can transform into a white tiger.

Now, if you’re not used to the symbolisms of these two creatures in Japanese culture, you must know that the dragon and the tiger allude to the balance and duality of life. They’re portrayed as eternal rivals who cannot live without one another…but in some media these two creatures are hinted to be destined lovers (like in Toradora). 

Maybe it’s a coincidence that the first kanji of Akutagawa’s first name stands for dragon but perhaphs the fact that Atsushi can transform into a white tiger is no coincidence at all… maybe I’m too much into deep in AkuAtsu hell but I think it’s something worth the knowledge.
