| Honestly surprised at how fast Fitzgerald was able to recover so much money. His bargain shopping reminded me a lot of Shirogane in Kaguya-sama. We don't have a lot of episodes left to see what Fyodor and his group are planning, feels like this season is going to end on a cliffhanger. |
 |
| Nice focus on Louise and Francis, Francis is back and also Guild, i like that episode, Francis was so damn badass, Louise ability is really awesome! |
 |
| For me this show is at its best when Atsushi isn't the focus. |
 |
| I am so happy to see Francis Lol. Loved season 2 and glad to see him alive and kicking. My favorite episode this season. Ace Attorney Francis Tiger boy is having a growing harem |

| Yeah, Francis is back. He is such a likable villain. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I don't think that I found Fiztgerald to be that enjoyable in the second season but I definitely enjoyed seeing him again in this episode. |

I am really glad he's back as the guild's boss again, I'm hoping he Will give the agency another challenge. i bet some1 else will and he will work with the agency as allie, i don't thing he wants a reoeat of last season, so he won't mess with them any longer |
| Francis is such a fun character. I like how he loves buying the pots that are on sale, I kinda have similar tendencies so it was fun to watch. |
 |
| I thought Fitzgerald was amusing in season 2, but this episode alone made him so much better. His new bargain sale obsession is hilarious lol |
 |
| This episode was really cool! Fitzgerald is smart with his very strong power! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Francis is suddenly 100 times more interesting now that he has to start over from scratch. i honestly didn't really like him in season 2 and he isn't that memorable either, but now im really starting to like his character. he's really made an impression on me, especially when he opened the door to the court room with that ace attorney stance lol, my heart nearly stopped a beat. also i like his unwavering love for his wife, despite being a villain (who usually don't care about love or friendship). He might be one of my top favs if this continues. |

MaskOfIce said: Hunter x Hunter is like this too (Hisoka)I think this episode just established to me what the most unique thing about Bungou Stray Dogs is, it's not a series with disposable arc villains. I loved season 2, but I was perfectly content if Fitzgerald never reappeared again, I thought the Guild was done, maybe see some of the characters again, but it was an arc that was over. But apparently no, the arc may have ended but they still exist, they still have the ability to play a part in what's to come. That's actually really cool and I can't think of another battle series that did something like that. |
FMmatron said: Well, that's one hell of a comeback Francis pulled off there xD Great episode again, Francis is such a charistmatic guy, having him back surely feels good. Also lol, him being into his new hobby is so amusing and it's a humorous way to illustrate his development as a person to boot. Best episode of the season, I seriously love it when the half ass villain change to something better. not to forget this episode gave me Hunter x Hunter Yorknew vibes, with the girl using her ability to bring back the company on its feet.  |
| I like this episode. It's refreshing to see a different side of Francis and also Louisa. Damn those lowlife thugs, they really think they can win against the ability users? Lol. |

| I’ll admit that the episode was funny and entertaining. Francis’ scene entering to the wrong room was hilarious and he looking for offers. I really liked Francis’ suit, it has great detail in the neck, this man’s likes are gold. So, Louisa was the only one looking for him, he should care for her more, and this episode made me realize how charismatic he is. With Guild disbanded, what’s next for them, create a new team maybe. |
 |
| Probably this is my favorite episode of the series, I do really like Francis, I hope he'll have screen time in future. |

| Quite an exciting episode. That shy but cunning (and, as we saw in season 2, ruthless) girl managed to bring Fitzgerald back in the game, though he had really given up on everything. By the way, it is interesting that her power is largely irrelevant to being an "almost perfect strategist". Her power simply allows her to slow down time 8000 times, thus she can do in ~1.5 minutes (not the mentioned 3 minutes) as much work as can be done in 3 weeks. I guess if she is already a great strategist to begin with having all that time to work with, gather data etc can indeed make her an "almost perfect" one. As we saw in season 2 there are variables she can miss because she doesn't see the future, she just has more time to predict it. So the solution she came up with is to have Fitzgerald pull a con on that chairman (the real murderer). Somehow, perhaps using guarantees from his connections, Fitzgerald managed to borrow no less than $400 million in order to short the chairman's company (i.e. bet that its stock price will fall). So, assuming the company's stock price was $20 before, if it crashed to just ~$1 after the news Fitzgerald only needed to return that ~$1 per share back to the lender; i.e. just $20 million. The other ~$380 million were pure profit! Brilliant, right? By the way, I am quite certain that in the largely lawless universe of Stray Dogs stock manipulation laws do not even exist; otherwise Fitzgerald would need to move his new company headquarters to his jail cell for defrauding the company's investors (their loss was Fitzgerald's gain, and the cause of their loss was -again- Fitzgerald himself).. In the real world, assuming you did that in the US, the FBI would knock on your door on the same day :) So everything, once again, revolves around that legendary book. Both Fitzgerald and Dostoevsky are looking for it. The imbecile Atsushi is the only one in the Detective Agency who knows about the book (Fitzgerald himself told him) but hasn't breathed a word about it to anyone (at least not on screen). I mean it was not a minor detail to miss, it was the freaking reason Fitzgerald attacked Yokohama for! |

| After watching 4 episodes while eating, it's time to comment on all of these. Wait Francis is back? "Reviving" someone just so they can do the same thing they did before "dying" would be a dumb move, so I'm hoping he does something. Good episode. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Good to see villainous Fitzgerald back on his feet again and even bringing down a company in the process. Gotta say its funny how he waltzed into the neighbours room as if its his own place and was amazed by shopping with limited funds. |
 |
| Love this episode. The part about Fitzgerald buying discount stuff and his obssesion w cooking pots was hilarious. Also Louisa is so sweet. |
| Inane strength, obsessed with sales, yet ruthlessly cunning. |

| Francis is back, I didn't expect him to be alive... But he is bloody genius when it comes to money! |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
| The guild leader is back for the best, the CEO had it rough lol, well deserved for him |
 |
| Francis's characterization here was better than anything related to him shown in season 2. |
seriously why tf does bones love this angle lol |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| This episode single handedly changed my entire opinion francis |
