I have to say...Akutagawa is quite a crafty character. He's able to team up with Atsushi and take advantage of both of their abilities. 

Fukuchi is no joke though. I think he's among the most dangerous characters that Atsushi has faced. Even Akutagawa struggled against him although he puts up a really good fight. Quite a thrilling episode imo.  Akutagawa and Atsushi make an unusual duo and what a cliffhanger!

Yes! Nice to see Akutagawa flashbacks! I missed his archaic and humble "yatsugare"
黒虎絶爪 (Kokko Zessou) - Black Tiger's Supreme Claw.
Ah right, his sword can cut both space and time... I wondered how that would work. He's literally way too OP, how do you write a story with a character like that now lol.
Daaamn that transition into the ED (which is actually the OP)! The credits being as if this is the last episode reminds me of Re:Zero. Now how will Akutagawa get out of that...

Another very thrilling episode, Atsushi and Akutagawa had great tricks up their sleeves, but how do you defeat someone as OP as Fukuchi, whose sword that bends space and time? Brutal cliffhanger as well.

Dazai's ever the forward planner. Akutagawa really was the best backup here but Ochi was every bit his equal. Ochi's ultimate ability sure was scary. A blade that can materialize anywhere within its strike range huh. That time travelling katana sure is proving to be quite the obstacle thats for sure. This is gonna be a tough fight when you literally fighting against someone that knows your every action.

Seriously what is with that blade? It is so overpowered. I swear every character who uses space-time abilities in animes are so strong. Can't wait to see how they are gonna beat Fukuchi.

This wasn't even a battle. It was a one sided beatdown. Fukuchi is an absolute beast, even without taking Amenogozen into consideration. Truly as Atsushi said, a monster that can cut down defeat itself.

Though on a more heartwarming note, it is nice to see Atsushi and Akutagawa finally accept each other as partners. Akutagawa also keeping his promise not to kill anyone was nice. It reminds me of what he said to Atsushi when they first met back in Season 1. "I'm a man who keeps his promises." And he did until the very end.

Dazai is the very definition of GOAT. It's kind of far-fetched how everything is a part of his plan but that's just his character lol.

Akutagawa's entrance was hype, and then him charging straight for Fukuchi's head was just like him, though if it was this easy to take down Fukuchi we would've done so ages ago. I mean see that space-time sword, and those manipulating skills... for a moment I really thought they were done for but...

... but Kokko Zessou just like its buildup did the fucking job or what I would've said, but dude what's with this sudden going back and forth in time?? "You killed me in the future so I cut the past".. that's beyond broken.

Full on steroid episode but a cliffhanger this criminal should be reported wtf.

Fukuchi is wayyyyy too OP holy shit. I see why the arc still ongoing in the manga if he got feats like this. How do you beat someone that can just cut thru the past and erase defeat.. episode is pure chills from start to finish, both for the quality of the fight as well as Fukuchi’s overwhelming strength.

that cliffhanger was rough as well. No way Akutagawa really dies

Nah wtf how do you even win against that. Just when you think Atsushi and Akutagawa won, this dude literally says nah I want a do-over and erases the fact that he lost. And he did it not once, but TWICE. You can't beat him, you can't run away, what the hell CAN you do then lol. What an episode, and what a nasty cliffhanger.

omg, seriously loving Akutagawa. he deserves so much in this world. Atsushi is a good boy, but Akutagawa, I was one of those who would question other people´s positive opinions on you and now you are such an epic character. please, save him, cure him.

it was painful to watch. there is nothing Fukuchi can do to make me like him.

this battle wasn´t even fair at all!! how are they supposed to fight???

That was not a cliffhanger I wanted to suffer through from lol. Akutagawa just came around and this happened to him? But he certainly knows how to take the spotlight cause he just makes himself to be an even more likeable and respectable character. Any man who keeps his promises and sticks to those who kept faith with is worthy of respect

I love this season more than last season already so far. That ending and transition to OP/ED was like *shocked Pikachu face* for me. Such a great episode. I love Atsushi and Akutagawa together.

GRRRR HOW DARE THEY??? ILL TELL YOU MY THOUGHTS, AHEM-
HOW DARE BONES NOT ANIMATE THE SKK FLASHBACK?????? OR THE SSKK CLINGING ONTO EACH OTHER FOR SUPPORT???? HOW DARE THEY LEAVE THE IMPORTANT BONDING MOMENTS OUT LIKE THAT.
AND WHY IS AKUTAGAWA SO COLD?? HE IS SO SOFT IN THE MANGA, FOR O N C E. AND BONES RUINED ITT AHHHHHH. If they don't want to animate bsd properly, why'd they take it on????? DO THEY HATE IT SM? Judging by the ugly scenes, probably..but, ugh
