| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, that escalated quickly. Also, I think that OP song is rather catchy for this season. Looks like Chuuya and Dazai got attacked by the GSS but of course, they manage to survive. It seems this season has rivalries between certain organizations and Port Mafia is involved now too. Personally, I like the darker tone of this season so far. Pretty cool episode. |

| Immediately facing against a team of enemy. lol @ Mamo's character relying on Taniyama-san's character. Mamo's character's face is scary when finishing one guy up, though. Dark fire? That guy who is afraid of cold witnessing something not human. Interesting, using text to show fighting in arcade game... Meeting two of members of Taniyama-san's character's group. With Mamo's character's request, some people that caught are released. But Taniyama-san's character still "stayed" with him. Or rather, they are competing each other. That guy who is afraid of cold is the culprit? Both reaching at around the same time. Taniyama-san's character admitting that the inhumane creature is him? ED is nice. |

| Like what is even the point of "special forces" when they are beaten by bunch of kids, of who we know have superpowers lol, but yeah nice episode. Also is the whole season the past ? Or will there be some present events. |

| Chuuya sure has no shortage of guts thats for sure. The power of gravity sure can be pretty awe inspiring sometimes. The novelisation of the fight was pretty amusing. Looks like things will be sour between Chuuya and Sheep now that the truth of his activity is out. Hmm the mystery behind the Black flames deepen. Really curious to see what happens next after Chuuya's words. |

| WTF?! That reveal at the end... my mind is blown. Also, am i the only one who actually finds Dazai terrifying? He's so devoid of emotion and has absolutely nothing to lose and that makes him so scary, even when he's with the Armed Detective Agency God, i'm loving this season already! |
 |
| The OP is too good. I like how the hype part kicks in with Chuuya’s Corruption. |
 |
| I was so longing to see how Dazai would be animated in the shooting scene... needless to say, magnificent! So the 15 arc will probably end in the next episode...or in the 4th one tops. Glad Chuuya got the screentime he deserved! |
| The opening is indeed good, but the ending song is even better. |

| This episode really managed to show how unstable and emotional young Dazai is |
| modge |
| In past episodes Dazai was described as one of the worst guys the port mafia had, today I did see those words were true. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| This episode really confused me. It was quite hard to understand what they were saying as I was watching this on my mobile. The subtitles were tiny and the sound was barely audible. Guess I will have to re-watch this anime after my computer gets fixed. This was not in the manga, was it? Is it from the novels? I love how Chuuya never grows up. Haha We finally see Dazai's dark side after hearing about it for so long. I can't wait to see Atsu-cchi, but I also don't want this flashback arc to end. |
| The reveal of Randou as the main villain of the arc wasn't surprising, considering he will probably die by the end of this story (since he doesn't appears in the main series), but Chuuya's reveal was slightly more surprising. Not much, however, if you remember his Corruption ability. Those two partners of Chuuya from the Sheeps have pretty nice character designs, but, then again, almost every character from this series looks cool, so... The opening is okay, I prefered the previous two ones, though that may change if the staff changes the visuals by the time they start to adapt the manga chapters, like what they did in the second season after they ended the Dark Era. The ending, however, was lit. |

| Well Chuuya saying he was Arahabaki was quite a surprise along with that face he made So I guess his corruption ability would be Arahabaki huh Just gotta say FIFTEEN YEAR OLD AND PRESENT DAY DAZAI AND CHUUYA ARE SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!! |
| I got trolled so hard. I was wondering why they weren't animating the fight scene but it turned out that they were just at the arcade. Chuuya's reveal wasn't surprising at all if you watched and remember the previous seasons and the movie Dead Apple, I was waiting for that reveal. I thought that Dazai knew when he told Chuuya to tell Randou. |

| Another great episode. It's interesting to see more of Dazai's darker side, showing that he is not quite mentally stable. I also like the twist, both Arahabaki's identity and Randous involvement in this entire mystery. Dazai as always is quite deductive and managed to figure out the mystery pretty fast, though I do like how even he was surprised by the twist at the end. The new OP and ED are pretty nice, as expected of both Grandrodeo and Luck Life. |
| It is so much fun to see this side of Dazai... I especially liked how he handled the situation with Sheep. The fact that Chuuya is Arahabaki became obvious when Randou asked him about it, but it was still impactful. Great episode overall, ended too fast! The OP has a different feel to it compared to other seasons, but I liked it. |
  |
| Shame it was already pretty obvious who Arahabaki was if you watched the movie. Really made the build up feel kind of pointless. |
| woah okay i guess i'll need further explanation that he's arahabaki in the next episode |
| Whoa Dazai has a bad side.................................................... |
| Good episode. I always enjoy seeing Dazai troll people. xD I kinda thought Chuuya might be Arahabaki but then after Dazai's explanation, I thought that maybe I was wrong but it turns out I was right. xD FMmatron said: The opening is indeed good, but the ending song is even better. +1 |
 |
| Osamu Dazai was surprised!? That's blasphemy! any way great serious tension 2nd episode! 5/5. |
 |
Yes, Fifteen. Released along Dead Apple with promo purposes. Now getting a proper book. It ends next episode, at this pace. The biggest mindblows are yet to come. I admit, I´d like to see more and more, but things are fine this way. It´s more than halfway through the novel right now. Now for my thoughts... I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH! I already knew it was going to be that good, since I read the novel, but it was better than I expected. It seems they will arrange a certain scene in the next episode instead, I guess. Dazai´s "thrill kill" has so many painful reasons... The arcade part. Oh, the arcade. I was waiting for it so much. I heard people like "Uuuh, Dazai is soooo emotionless". Well, there you have it. Some of his playful side, hiding his sharp observation. And before, that display of insanity. Chuuya´s moments couldn´t be better. Put up a show in every part. Fighting, throwing a tantrum after losing the game and DAMN, THAT DRAMATIC ENTRANCE! YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAWWWW!!! And also showing his caring yet harsh side towards his partners. Though he was irritated because of their investigations... And that bet. It was nice how Dazai noticed what Chuuya REALLY meant for Sheep and told them the real deal. Ahh, I´m already eager for the next episode! |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| Dazai laughing maniacally while shooting that man made me wince. It was kind of obvious that Randou was the bad guy but I didn't expect Arahabaki to be Chuuya. That was a little surprising. I'm looking forward to next week's episode. I kind of wan tor rewatch the first two seasons and read the manga but I have a lot on my plate right now. |
| θγ- |
| So they're are going with the same route of last season where we had two different visuals on the opening but same song. Anyways on the episode, I enjoyed it as always. So Chuuya was the Arahabaki Randou "Apparently" saw! Chuuya is those characters that have massive powers but can't handle them and I enjoy watching those characters. |

| This show really needs to chill with these overly long flashbacks. |
| So, I guess it's one more episode of this flashback arc before we move back to the present? I'm kinda relieved at that, in all honesty, as while this flashback arc is decent and all I'm not finding it anywhere near as compelling as the one from last season. |
| Am I the only one who thinks this season is...boring? |
| "Gradually Watermelon" |
| It was a lot better than the first episode, a lot more happened and I think the animation improved too. I think we'll get to know a bit more about Dazai and Chuuya's past in the next 2 episodes as well. About Dazai's dark side, seeing it in action was interesting but we had already heard about it so not much of a surprise. the OP is great but i'm pretty sure it's gonna change in episode 5 like it did in season 2 'cause no agency characters appear in it. |
| I was surprised that Dazai was surprised. I thought he'd figured out who Arahabaki was, but guess not. Dazai shooting that guy multiple times though... You're really seeing why he's called the worst guy from Port Mafia (I'm paraphrasing here). Also Chuuya's face at the end gave me chills and I loved it. |
 |
| great episode as expected! Dazai and Chuuya were already my favourite characters but I like them even more with every episode. |
| Yet again, the OP and ED are both very good. Things are certainly heating up now that it's been revealed that Chuuya is Arahabaki. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I wasn’t really surprised since my guess was both right. I gotta say even as his fifteen year old self, Dazai is still a very intriguing character. Glad that we got a glimpse of his dark twisted personality. |
| So Chuuya did have the monster inside him all along. Glad too see the Double Black origins. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| ok like I still the op will change or the visuals will... hmmm |
