Fukichi is really starting to come out as a dark character who isn't afraid to pull off any risks. The fact that he got Port Mafia so involved in this now says a lot about himself already imo.

Decent episode imo. It was thrilling to see just how far Fukichi will go for his twisted goals. I think the VA for his character deserves a lot of credit for bringing his personality to the TV screens. Impressive imo.

The guard is on our side?
HIGUCHI! I havent't seen her in so long omg
And wait... Akutagawa is dead for real?
Tachihara YEAH!
The parts with japanese text on screen are so damn cool
The whole world is f*cked... This contagious ability is genuinely scary.
But it seems like there is still hope? Special ability weapon? So exciting!
I loved this episode. I can't see what will happen from now at all.

Tachihara fought really well but Fukuchi's ability is plain cheating. Once again another attempt at his life failed. Who's gonna stop him? The entire world is in a mess right now cause of the vampire ability. Can the vampires be brought back to normal by any ability?

Now thats an interesting way to store a comrade. Still Bram is quite the unique one thats for sure. A vampire outbreak now thats something thats truly unexpected. For Tachihara to be the one that determined the truth about his co though. But if anything Tachihara's ability made his fight agaist the captain a pretty entertaining one. The captain's ability is damm pesky though. Looks the day of chaos is steadily approaching. Im quite curious to see who the knight commander of the order of the clock tower is though.

Gotta say, Fukuchi comes off as a lot more sadistic and depraved in the anime than in the managa. The way he smiles when he tells Tachihara how he'll serve him as a vampire is pretty bone chilling.

Speaking of smiles, it is a shame that they didn't make Akutagawa smile like in the manga when he pulled off his heroic sacrifice. It was a small yet pivotal moment for his character. Here everything juat happens a lot faster.

The fight was entertaining though. Tachihara was the perfect counter for Fukuchi, but he lost thanks to time traveling hacks. The way he was willing to just end it all right there instead of becoming an undead slave was admirable. But alas, Fukuchi prevails.

i really enjoyed this episode. the guard talking to fukuchi and allowing atsushi to escape really came in clutch. he's now able to inform ango and the rest of the group about who the true mastermind of the decay of angels is. as for akutagawa, i hope that they'll find a way to reverse the vampirism once this war is over, and that he won't actually be dead. one half of sskk can't just die. i won't allow it.

the whole fight scene between tachihara and fukuchi was so intense and nerve-wracking. while i was hoping tachihara would find a way to defeat fukuchi, i knew his ability basically had no weaknesses or openings. and sure enough, fukuchi was about to find a way to counter tachihara, and devastatingly defeated him. i just really wish the rest of the hunting dogs would wake tf up and realize that fukuchi is the real enemy. although i know that's extremely unlikely to happen due to the page.

only 4 episodes in, but i think this might be my favorite season so far. can't wait to see what's next

Fukuchi remains seemingly impossible to defeat, as even the most thought out tactics by Tachihara and Mori couldn't suffice as the vampire contagion spread around the world. A lot of nice voice acting this episode, they even brought in Kenjiro Tsuda to voice Bram. As thrilling as always.

I'm not liking how my boys are dropping dead one after other.. first Akutagawa and now Tachihara. LIKE BROTHER, HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD SOMEONE COULD DEFEAT THIS OMNIPOTENT, FUKUCHI????? He could alter past, he could change future, he could powerup the abilities of gifted ones hundredfold.. like wtf lol.

Also they really did let a vampire make his appearance in this series, and he literally has converted a huge chunk of population into his own kind.. no idea how things will get better. NOTHING AT ALL.

Episode almost felt like a season finale holy shit man what an episode, what a season. This is without a doubt the best BSD ever been.

Everyone’s backs are against the wall now in the face of a seemingly invincible, unstoppable enemy. I really don’t even know how you write Fukuichi’s defeat.

He’s got so much established plot armour it’s going to take everyone who’s not a vampire to fight back. But that’s why the author gets paid the big bucks, can’t wait to see what he comes up with.

Speaking of vampires, holy shit are we becoming resident evil 😂 infecting half the world’s population is insane. Next week can’t come fast enough.

I have a feeling Dazais ability may work on this? But im not sure, would people have to be immediately healed after or would they be returned to normal? Also if they kill Bram I think his ability would be undone, but still would some of the characters need healing...

KENJIRO TSUDA as Bram!!! omggg what a dream! 

see guys, Tachihara is a good boy! this stupid ability of Fukuchi is just plain unfair. Jesus Christ, everyone should just team up and get rid off him. 

this season is just the best and BSD is definitely winning this season!

Well there was no way in hell a side character like Tachihara would be the one to defeat Fukuchi, but man there's seemingly no limit to how broken Fukuchi's powers are. Now he's sending info to his past self so he can predict the future? Yea, how the fuck do you beat this guy without an insane asspull 💀💀
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

I don't think the vampires are living dead bodies. I think they return back to human as soon as Bram is dead.

I don't like this whole vampire stuff... I know it will be solved in the end (even if they would stay vampires forever, which would be quite lame, cause until now there weren't unnatural creatures except for the dragon, which I see more as pure power), cause otherwise it would be the last arc. But I hate this nonsense...

True, Fukuchi is waaaay too OP. But there must be a method. Actually the plot is gettig so intensive that i'm nt sure where it is going to right now. xD And yes, we need more Dazai.

I love the build up so far, everything seems really bad but I'm sure they will find a way to go against them and they will probably use Page ability to cancel out the monsterazation by Braham.

Atsushi wouldn't have been able to escape and the whole plan would've failed.
Akutagawa not killing the guard resulted in him interrupting Fukuchi at the very moment he was about to chase after Atsushi and bought them some time.

I haven’t read the manga, so I promise this isn’t a spoiler I have no idea what ends up happening. But the way I look at it, if they brush off a major character’s death like that, that character most likely isn’t dead or will return somehow. Just my thoughts on it anyway.

It's not about whether he lives or dies in the end (he's still a vampire in the manga as of the latest chapter iirc), it's about my best boy getting to be beautiful on screen and getting to show his growth as a character by smiling for Atsushi in his last moments T__T
