Finally, Atsushi is back. Not a surprise considering that he is still a main character in the franchise but seeing other familiar members of the Armed Agency is a refreshing sight again. Also, Lucy is back too!

Regarding the story, it seems there's rumors going around that others are trying to get whatever The Guild has left behind. Heh, with the return of the previous seasons' main cast, the humor is back with them too. This episode had more comedy than the others. Thanks Higuchi

Main group getting attention and seeing "followers".

Then the cafe owner's finger getting hurt from the group of normal criminal. Of course, the main group found their hideout fast and finished them.

Another day w. Hosoya-san's character (who was busy in first half's "case"?), SuzuKen's character is a hikikomori. He requested to deliver a love letter.

OnoKen's character w. a long hair lady, and blond hair lady is jealous. That lady eventually got both groups together.

Chasing and found out it's OnoKen's character's younger sister.

After the battle against the guild its no wonder the team was burnt out. The park though not lacking in tech or guns really underestimated the determination of the team to get revenge for what they did to their friends. To quote they knew not of how powerful the agency is lol. Its nice to see that Lucy managed to survive the battle between the agency and the guild. Her reaction at seeing Atsushi was so like her. Its nice to see Akutagawa and Higuchi again. Her love for her superior sure is as strong as ever. While the chase scene was amusing the revelations about who the woman was sure was surprising. Its nice that in the end both Higuchi and Katai were able to get over the crush and get back to their lives. Overall quite an amusing episode that had the perfect balance of action and comedy while both introducing new characters and at the same time reintroducing existing ones back into the story.

Lol my favorite comedy chapter. Gin is such a cutie. It’s not enough we had it revealed she’s a girl but now also Akutagawa’s imouto. Also Katai is such a whacky and quirky character, I like him. His ability is pretty cool in the grand scheme of the story. He and Kunikida seem pretty close from their conversation. Now the investigation can proceed. Also don’t mess with the ADA if you’re not on Firzgerald or Fyodor or Mori levels, please. On top of that, I like how they reminded us of S2 through this chapter to freshen some people’s memories and managed to re-introduce characters.
Forget to say, nice to see my waifu Akiko dealing some pain to the bad guys.

That episode felt soooo short! I wish Bungou Stray Dogs was a 24 ep anime... BUT it was so awesome seeing the Armed Detectives & Port Mafia again.

I already love Katai... but how dare he throws Yoshiko (the futon) away like that and then come running back wen he was rejected haha

Also i love how infatuated Higuchi is with Akutagawa (i mean, i totally understand cause same...)

I didn't remember Higuchi being so goofy when I read that chapter in the manga (especially at the end, she's so thirsty lmao). I guess the voice helped a lot. Also RIP Katai, he was rejected, but at least he's going to help to Agency now. Cannot blame him for falling in love with Gin, she's a beautiful girl. I wonder what Akutagawa would think of some random weirdo trying to confess his love for his sister.

Nice to see best girl Lucy is back, even if she only appeared for a brief scene.

Wow that Gin is actually very beautiful! I kinda expected her to be the little sister but didn't know she was GIn.

Pretty good episode overall. Way too short though.

Nice breather episode. It's been some time since we had one in the series and I'm glad we do now. Especially after the events of season 2, Dead Apple and the last couple of episodes. Also, F for Katai. Got rejected by his crush, which was Akutagawa's sister no less. It's also nice to see Lucy back.

Looking at the titles for next epsiode. Oh boy, better prepare for a feels trip.

Breather or not, this episode was a mess. Comedy has never been this show's strong point, and this episode was a perfect case-in-point as to why the show shouldn't use it very often. Even outside of that, it was really disjointed and weirdly paced.

Basically, this was a complete waste of time in a season that has already wasted three episodes on a less-than-stellar flashback arc. Almost halfway through this season and we've only had one episode that's actually felt worthwhile.

Now we're talking. Detective Agency fanservice, yandere Higuchi, Gin turning out to be Akutagawa's sister and simply an overall funny episode.

Great one.

I am glad to see the adorable Atsu-cchi again. We only had to wait for an episode below the half way point of the season. Lol.

I thought I hadn't read past the last episode in the manga, but it seems I have read the two chapters that were covered in this episode. Pretty sure I haven't read further than that. Maybe I should.

The backup were scared of the Armed Detective Agency. Hahaha. They even quit!

The hikkikomori reminded me of Armin from "Shingeki! Chuugaku".

I had forgotten that the blond lady would beg on her knees, so the scene surprised me all over again.

The blond lady wants to be called Onee-chan. Lol. It's sad that the anime will probably never let them be a couple.

Tbh it was a little surprising to see Higuchi like that, but, nevertheless, a great episode.

One thing we learned today: Don't mess with the Agency. Just don't.

(Also, I knew that it would turn out to be Gin, I just knew it lol)

The episode as a whole was hilarious! Gin is adorable!

Funny how I forgot that Atsushi even existed but oh well here we are. It's not my fault that the backstories are on a whole nother level. Not to say that the normal episodes are bad or anything, they're pretty good too. It's just that they get overshadowed and at the end of the season the thing I remember the most are the flashbacks

Also, stick around for the post-credit scene XD

We already knew that Gin was a woman, but Akutagawa's little sister... Top 10 Anime Plot Twists.
Now seriously, this episode was really funny, and although there was little story progression, it was pretty good; one thing that keeps rolling in my mind is Akutagawa mentioning that he hasn't see her from a long time, it's strange, how many time has happened from the Guild attack? Or what if he doesn't know about her being part of the Port Mafia? That was strange. Anyway, loved this episode, now hoping one week for the next one.

It was a nice episode and I love this series, as well as the manga for it, but I'm a bit concerned about the pacing. In the manga, the transitions between arcs felt pretty smooth and as much as I enjoy having flashback arcs from the novels, it kinda messes with the pacing of things, especially when there are breather chapters like what this episode was based off of in-between arcs already. This is already five episodes into a twelve episode season when there is a whole main arc still left to go. Season 2 managed to fit an arc into 8 episodes but it did feel on the rushed side to me >.> This time there are 7 episodes to fit an arc into. Hmm.

I still enjoy it because I really enjoy seeing these scenes from the manga be played out, but it does feel a bit more clunky and awkwardly paced in the anime compared to the manga. The comedy worked in the manga ((if it is even comedy; more like "light moments in-between heavier arcs")) while the anime does feel quite a bit more goofy to me o:

Funny how the episode started off as an action revenge situation, then ended as a light hilarious event. Didn't know Gin was an innocent looking girl, most of all that she was even a girl at all (sometimes you don't know with these anime characters genders).

Great episode. Glad to have the gang back. They definitely made a mistake pissing off the Armed Detective Agency, lol. The star of this episode was Higuchi. Although... Was she that in love with Akugatawa in the first two seasons? I don't remember very clearly. Wonder when the next we see Fyodor will be.

lol I kinda figured that she would be Akugatawa's sister, but she is Gin? Now I wasn't suspecting that. xD

Really great and funny episode it really makes me with these were not 12 episode seasons it probably cause it was getting close to the manga so they take short 1~2 year breaks before animating more?

Damn, its was so funny, i really missed this comedy!

Its nice to see Detective Agency back, the other group attacked the cafe and hurted cafe's owner, i loved how agency intantly find that group and punished them, so badass!

The second part was so hilarios, delivering a love letter, to remove Katai's incapacibility of using his powers!

And didn't expect Gin to be Akutagawa's litle sister, and she is pretty cute and beautiful!

ATSUSHI! FINALLY OUR MC IS BACK
So this episode contains 2 parts, in the first part we finally see ADA again, god im sooo happy to see them. And they're absolutely badass in this episode, almost forgot how strong they are.

In the second part we're introduced to Katai. I already love him and cant wait to see more of his action in the upcoming episode, he looks pretty badass in the op. And Gin is gorgeous asf, even Higuchi is flustered.

Overall a very refreshing and hillarious episode

How nice to see the members of the Armed detective agency, it is always a pleasure to see the beautiful Yosano Akiko.

What kind of criminals can commit such stupidity as making the members of the Armed detective agency angry? They never had the chance to achieve anything, Ranpo found them quickly and Yosano really enjoyed her quality time with the gang leader.
So Fyodor was responsible for cheating this gang of idiots, Fyodor definitely has worse plans for the Armed detective agency.

The second half of the episode I loved it, it's amazing how beautiful Gin is when she takes off her mask and dresses more feminine, but it was a surprise to learn that she is the younger sister of Akutagawa, and I love her voice, she sound so cute
Higuchi jealous was very funny in this episode, she was desperate to know who was that "mysterious girl" who was with her dear senpai and I was very surprised that she came to beg Atsushi and Kunikida for the information they had about the girl, but even so, Higushi is very cute when she is happy.

Today we had a new character, Katai made me laugh a lot with his personality, besides his ability is undoubtedly very good, since he does not have the need to touch the electronic devices to control them, which makes this a very dangerous skill in the wrong hands, but Katai was a member of the Armed detective agency.

What a pleasant surprise it was to see Lucy again and to know she will worked near Atsushi was so funny, she looks beautiful blushed and Atsushi did not deserve that blow.

The post-credit scene made me laugh for a while, Higushi now seeks the approval of her senpai's younger sister.
This episode felt like the true return, the comedy of this anime returned and without doubts this season has potential with Fyodor causing chaos and destruction.

I was surprised to see an extra episode, then I remembered it was Goldeen Week some days ago. But what a nice surprise! I was waiting for this adaptation! And it got better than I expected!

First part be like "You can hurt us. You can break our office´s windows. You can even explode Kunikida´s car. But don´t you mess with our coffee provider!". God, their terrified faces... You know they´re worried about him, sure, but also thinking "How can I survive without my coffee?".

Gin is cute as a button, Katai´s broken but recovering fast and Higuchi is more heads over heels than ever for Akutagawa. I laughed so much with this episode, it was refreshing.

Even if it was really short it was nice to see Akutagawa and Gin as actual people who have a life outside of the Port Mafia. Sadly the surprise of them being related was spoiled for me some weeks back but it was still enjoyable. I half expected Akutagawa to come out of no where and drop kick futon man when he handed Gin the letter. Also, yay Atsushi, I missed him.
