[Scythes are not fast weapons, and even if Dazai has the benefit of no longer being human and being stronger and faster than he was in life, Jaeger's easily able to bash him with his shield before Dazai can make an effective follow-up attack.
Dazai was most definitely not expecting that. He stumbles back - but even while he's stumbling, he's still swinging his scythe, not able to aim properly but likely to hit somewhere Jaeger isn't blocking with his shield while he's too busy using it to attack. It's a reckless move that could easily result in Dazai hurting himself as much as Jaeger, but Dazai has never been very good at taking care of himself.]
