Ah, a case to solve and not only just to deal with a mystery but prove the innocence of the Armed Detective Agency. 

Good to see old faces against from the previous seasons, from both sides including Kyouka! I also have to admit that Atsushi is a brave soul for the risks he's pulling to deal with all this. Like, this guy has really grown from his past self and I'm impressed. This was a hell of an episode.

You know, it really shows how bad the agency is at fighting this new current enemy ... when its a guy wearing a choker who bailed them out, lmao .. and even that barely, kek. Anyway, there ain't no way Kunikida is dead, and hey, the money guy is back. For now at least ... with some plan ...

GOAT Dazai still doing his things even after being put behind some area 51 kind of security cell.. and he's with Fyodor there. Can't wait to see how he'll foil his plans.

Be it Guild or Port Mafia, Yosano's the only one they're after. Thank her godly ability for that. Though kinda concerned what Francis been planning there, as now even Atsushi and Kyoka are helping him, chances of them getting double crossed are very much alive after that last scene.

Also no fucking way Kunikida is dead. Now waiting for Ranpo to arrive at the scene in coming episodes.

Kunikida truly managed to live up to his ideals by not allowing his colleagues to be killed. What an absolute madman. I don't think there's anyone in the Agency that is as selflessly suicidal as him. The closest one is Atsushi, but he has the benefit of the tiger's healing factor. Speaking of Atsushi, I really liked him this episode. His decision to got to Francis was a smart one, and took quite a bit of courage to make what is basically a deal with the devil. Him using his past as a motivator to push forward instead of self-pitying himself is a nice bit of character development and shows how far he's come since Season 1.

nice episode.

mori sensei takes the cake.

poor kunikida.

dazai hallucination. are they just hallucinations or something more??


things are clashing. dazai vs fyodor

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.

nah, what the sheep did to chuuya was them being so entitled over being able to abuse his powers. if anything the port mafia gave chuuya purpose and saved him from his abusive familyhood of lowlifers who got into fights expecting chuuya to clean up for em.

Dr. Mori's bare-faced lie is bound to catch up. No doubt the Hunting Dogs will strongly pursue Yosano, she being both a military "traitor" and effective antidote to sword wounds (e.g. helicopter escape).

Saved by the mafia huh didn't see that coming. What a way to deter pursuit though. Its chilling to seer just how much had changed after being branded as criminals by the public. Taking out Dazai from the get go was an excellent move on the enemies part. Though looks like that was also planned by him as well. The chiefs view was certainly extreme thats for sure. Compassion and kindness though is a trait that suits Atsushi really well. The question here now though is just whose side Francis is on.

Francis's situation has been well-executed by the author tbh. With his employees and base of operations now in Yokohama, "defending his property" means defending the city, totally contravening Fyodor and the original plan of the Guild.

Nice to see some old faces back in action from both sides, especially Kyouka and Francis. The mystery and the mind games at hand here are great, and Dazai and Fyodor having their own chess match while being captive is so fitting for those two intellectuals. Yosano seems to be the target for Port Mafia and the Hunting Dogs, fittingly so, since her power is perhaps the most useful of them all.

Francis is a joy to watch, don't completely know what he's up to, and I wonder if this transaction will indeed be a trap as Mori said. Also, there is no way Kunikida's dead.

Dazai so goated man he just always a step ahead of everyone I love it. No better way to find out what fyodor up to than by literally sitting in front of him in a prison cell lmao

Was francis hesitating to believe Atsushi an effect of the ability that changes people’s memories or what? Cause it doesn’t make sense that he’d believe the detective agency of all people would actually murder hostages

thats a bit harsh, they were just a bunch of delinquent kids thinking they're doing something, yes they hid behind his power but they wouldn't have betrayed him if it wasn't for Dazai

i really do like him. "the maid at the cafe won't date me" and fyodor says "just ruin her life and then she'll need you" like those are two seriously different things but i thought the exchange was funny.

Mori yelled "IT'S A TRAP!" and he's probably right. Francis wouldn't do an agreement without getting something or someone (likely be Yosano). Things are getting harsher in Yokohama.

All I could say after watching this episode is, I'm glad they didnt change Francis voice actor (Takahiro Sakurai) despite his scandal🤧

Meanwhile Dazai and Fyodor at the prison playing chess being a budd to each other made me laugh lol.

Dont know why but I felt like this episode feels rush although I havent gotten to this part in the manga yet, cant wait for next week episode

Thought that Kunikida was going to waver but seeing him not back down was so cool to see.
Dazai and Fydor bantering was quite entertaining. Their game of chess will be even more fun to watch.

And just when there's some hope things seem to be getting worse.
Looking forward to how they get out of this one.

On another note, never noticed before but Francis looks like an older Shirogane Miyuki from Kaguya-sama.

"Fun" fact but the prison where Fyodor and Dazai are is supposed to be in an unknown location in Europe

Well, there's a small village named Meursault right next to my place and I've been there several times. Didn't see any sign of Dazai or Fyodor tho

I’m sure we aren’t supposed to overthink the super duper highly secure floating bubble prison, but maybe the warden running that joint shouldn’t let prisoners chat with each other….

This episode needed more Chuuya.

Oh my gawddddd this is my favourite arc yall

and Dostoyevski is my favourite villain, besides Suguru in JJK ofc, but the scene with Dazai and Fyodor is just that chef's kiss goodness.

The animation, the sound design, the EVERYTHING is so gooooood this season. I'm reading the manga at the same time but I'm still mad excited for the next ep.

This case is only getting bigger and bigger, The Agency is trying to prove their innocence and it looks like they will do whatever it costs. 

The part between Dazai & Fyodor was funny. I hope Kunikida still lives despite him bringing out an grenade and blowing up himself and an enemy. 

This episode was intense.

I thought the first half was pretty good. A lot of crazy things happening including Kunikida pulling out a grenade. Wild.

Dazai certified goat.

I thought the second half was kinda wack TBH. Eyes of God asking really questioning that the agency murdered people?

My biggest issue was Yosano's reaction to Mori telling her the boss was "Okay" sending her to Port Mafia. Like why The fuck would Yosano believe Mori? The Boss knows how much she despises Mori. I just thought her reaction was really unexpected and honestly made no sense imo.

we'll see what happens

Literally my exact thoughts. That grande came out of nowhere,didn’t really think that he would sacrifice himself- and hoping that ge is somehow alive.

Dazai is the goat. Dazai vs Fyodor was funny in the middle of all the things that are happening to the Agency.

I wish Yosano hadn’t reacted as if the President betrayed her. Maybe its due to PTSD idk.

Really hyped to see the next episode

Bones is doing a fantastic job adapting the manga this season! Minimal things are being skipped and the pacing is looking really good to end this season at the spot I think it'll end at. As a manga reader I am very pleased right now! I can't wait to see the next series of events animated xD I've been waiting years for this.

So like Fukuzawa made a deal with port mafia to save the members of the agency with the exchange of one agency member and Fukuzawa said with the exception of Yosano but the port mafia be lying about this. Also liked the part with Dazai and Fyodor.
