Yosano has been amazing in these latest episodes including this one. She's got no fear to help out the Armed Detective Agency in any way possible even risking her life. 

A very tense episode but imo, it captured the thrill of this arc really well. Yosano is forced to face against her personal demons while trying to do what's right. Bungou Stray Dogs at its finest.

I love Yosano's fearless nature, and I also enjoyed how this episode used the events of the flashback last episode, and built upon it. Sacrifices were made this episode, and it was as thrilling as ever. The big reveal of Tachibana being the 5th hunting dog was quite something, and it turns out the soldier that hung himself in the flashback was his brother. Sweet revenge, truly, but I doubt Yosano will die that easily.

Yeaaah ... one does not simply kill the masked ninja girl working for the port mafia ... and not expecting her older brother, you know the literal demi-god-kun, not invoking the book of revelations kind of finale afterwards on them ...

Given their past its a given that there would be people within the mafia that are against the plan that Mori had. Francis though is still very much the enigma. Looks like the hunting dogs don't care if they have to kill civs to get to their targets. Cruel of Yosano to see something from her dear departed comrade again though. Master of metal though is quite the handy power as nearly every weapon used by man is made of it. The true identy of the fifth member though really was well played out here as was his connection to Yosano.

One hell of twist this episode. It does makes sense that the government would plant another agent within the Port Mafia after Ango bungled his undercover operation back during the Dark Era. Fortunately, Francis seems to have gained some level of respect for the Agency, enough to already declare them the winners, though I'd say he shouldn't be talking too early. Now that Margaret is healed Atsushi and Kyouka will have to go on the hunt for Mushitarou and save him from the clutches of the Decay of Angels.

What a twist! But to be honest, since there are a lot of characters, and since it's such a long gap between each season, I already forget who he is in the first place, (Michizou Tachihara). And he's not even an important character before this episode.

More Yosano is always nice, she was freaking badass. The reveal was nice but it was quite obvious there was someone leaking info given how their meeting location got sacrificed. Also is the old guy dead? Damn he was a cool guy.

Holy christ. That last minute twist got me screaming. Didn't occur it was that nose bandage guy who was pulling the strings since the start. Even brutalized that cool old man from Port mafia :(

This guy is out for revenge and has Yosano on gun point.. though I don't really expect it's the end of her. Someone has to come save her.. like right?

Francis's sister is cured.

Depending how powerful the of the soldier guy Gift was, the guy was bad as soldier. Like if had power enough to jam a gun.

So the guy blame Yosano for his brother's death, but not the military? Is like blaming the doctor for having to amputate a limb, not the country or own actions. A misdirected anger, in my opinion.

So full of plot holes this episode is. I found it more annoying than entertaining. Oh well, hopefully next few will be redeeming. Also about fifth hunting dog I wasn't surprised one bit. Didn't expect that dude to be it but I was fully expecting this shit. Hunting dogs constantly knew ahead of them where they will be and all that talk about mysterious fifth member... it's just obvious.

That plot twist/reveal completely shocked me. The whole ep I was sure that it was the same guy and that the government revived him. But now looking at the 5th hound (I don’t remember his name) I’ve realised so many things. He never used his ability. I always thought that he didn’t have one but he survived for so long when most abilityless guys have already gone to the afterlife 😭😭 and now looking at him closely, he legit looks so similar to his brother 😭😭 how did I miss that out???? 😭😭😭😭 — and also the ending completely broke me. The way yosano just sat there, ready to accept her fate without even trying, the fact that she completely gave up because she knew there was nothing she could do. I really hope that atsushi or someone comes to save her πŸ’”

I did not expect that plot twist at the end, who would have guessed that Tachiharo was with the hunting dogs

As soon as Kenji started running towards the ambulance I thought "it's gonna blow up isn't it".

Have to say that Yosano has some grit. Thought Mouri was setting this up but wasn't expecting that turnabout.

The irony is that Mori should be the target of Tachihara's revenge, not Yosano.

Wow it's doing so good right now regarding Yosano's character, Tachihara was a spy in the mafia but is actually the 5th member and is the brother of the one Yosano knew, the metal control is absolutely OP and that cliffhanger for Yosano I can't wait for next ep now

O M G what a plottwist
seriously I can't ...
Last week I started rewatching bsd with my sister and I realised that I don't remember what is Tachihara's ability
so I didn't forget it but it wasn't said at all
and now I know why
but seriouslyyyyy
it's too much
I just hope that Gin won't die
and I'm still waiting for Akutagawa's appearance (⁠぀⁠✧⁠ω⁠✧⁠)⁠぀

Idk why I feel like the reveal fell a bit flat for me. Maybe I just had too high of expectations for the shock reveal of a character. Oh well, still an amazing episode and I really believe this is the best season of the series.

Pretty sad episode.

But damn that brother was strongly resembling tachihara. Didnt notice it till now.

Nice foreshadowing too.

RIP Hirotsu. RIP Yosano sensei.

Tachihara really did an epic judas betrayal.


they said the 5th bloodhound was undercover, never thought he would be undercover to port mafia.

cant wait to see more tachihara. he has become way more interesting now.

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.

I still don't think they can finish this arc in 12 episodes. And they only had 9 episodes to begin with. The only positive thing here is proof that Bones hasn't become a factory dedicated to MHA alone. Sometimes that factory takes a break to do other stuff too.

Yosano got the spotlight for this episode, she did it outstandingly. RIP Ryuurou, you fought hard. 

That Mr. Hood guy at first was something else, I didn't even expect it to be an robot at the end lmao, nice skills though even though it was an robot. That unexpected table flip, The one Yosano killed many years ago was someone's brother. 

Well performed episode, loved the actions. I hope Yosano will be alright.

Tachihara has caught my eye since the beginning. He is such an interesting character (and his Wan! version is just amazing). I really feel for him. I would love to see more into his way of thinking, where his inner beliefs really are. I know which side he eventually chooses and I am glad to hear that because I just have such a soft spot for the gang.
