That's 25/59 or roughly 42% by the way. And that is including minor characters like the flags and lesser guild members who it would be highly unusual to give in depth backtories to.

66% of the ADA who represent the main cast

*75% because apparently Katai has some in Kunikida and Katai's brilliant days. 90% given that I think calling Haruno and Naomi main cast is generous. Not pictured but with backstory are Ango and Aya.

@himboheiwajima we also do get some of katai’s backstory in kunikida and katai’s magnificent days

@jejessthetrees ooh I still need to read that one

@himboheiwajima LOL turner you were not having it 💀 but yes I always thought we had a good amount of background info about almost all the bsd main characters but this really does put it in perspective! Like damn even Steinbeck and Bram I forgot about their little back stories

@Evieeye_ I think I honestly could be forgetting some too because I haven't read the guild arc in a while and apparently Katai has some backstory in he and Kunikida's short story.

@himboheiwajima Well the "Main" characters are the only mysterys right

@moasarelucky I'm confused by what you mean by this. Excluding the current primary antagonists who I think we just have to be patient with in terms of receiving a backstory 95% of the main cast have pretty significant backstories.

@himboheiwajima We haven't seen higuchi's backstory and i don't think that one arc where she wanted to save aku's ass counts because she asked herself why she DOESN't leave but never answered it

@HartZylle Well yeah that’s why I didn’t color her in but I also have never encountered a single piece of media where every character that is introduced recieves a backstory so I don’t think it’s unusual that the character development we get of her is in the present

@himboheiwajima Kunikida might be hiding smth… idk

@himboheiwajima Yes, not many people have backstories straight from their birth, but especially those in green have backstories that explain their character motivation and why they act like they act and are in the place they are in

@himboheiwajima what about sigma tho

@himboheiwajima Multiple backstories are put into the light novels, but not everyone is going read them. I guess the creator doesn’t know how to fit them into the story, so he just adds them to a light novel.

@himboheiwajima yeah bsd is always really good w backstories idk what those tweets are on about 😭ive also seen a lot of ppl say we hardly know anything about dazais past when we have like 4 LNs about it?? like do they expect us to know what he eats for breakfast every day until age 22

@himboheiwajima I think we got a bit of Q's background in the fifteen novel
