Man, that opera style music really took this episode to the next level. Looks like Lucy is one of the targets this arc.

Skyward Casino imo is a very fascinating place. Floating in the sky with luxury, it looks like one of those things you can in only these type of shows. We also got more info regarding what the terrorists are plotting. Pretty interesting how the anime says about ordinary people too. The finale should be a fairly interesting on with the direction it's heading.

So, the Decay of Angels' plan is to produce global terrorism? This seems like a similar situation to the final battle against Francis in Season 2, but on a grander scale. A thrilling episode as usual, and they always say, the ones with nothing to lose stand to gain the most, and are the strongest. In that case, that was Sigma. I did find this episode to be a little fast paced for my liking, but it was still a good episode. I hope the finale isn't too rushed.

Agree about the fast pacing. Yosano was elevated by the amount of time dedicated to her backstory, but it has consequences elsewhere in the production.

Feels good to betray the port mafia.

Tachihara livin the life.

Atsushi life = suffering once again

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.

Wasn't expecting these two to show up at Uzumaki. Really had the Boss squirming there. And questioning why the heck someone would want soy sauce in a drink XD.

Sigma's a fun character. Only loses his crap when he's by himself while having it all together in front of his subordinates.

Using civilians to take down the Hunting Dogs?! A brilliant move but this doesn't look good for the Agency.

Bit curious what info he traded so he could get the location of the page though.
I don't how they are going to wrap this up in one last episode but I'm looking forward to it.

Another fast paced episode Im glad I already read the manga, I really recommend to everyone to read the manga after watching the final episode, lots of stuff got removed and it felt like were watching scene after scene that never got portrayed properly they just dump it all at once though I couldnt blame them cause we only got 13 episodes to fit all those scenes. I felt bad seeing Sigma's character didnt get portrayed properly, they just fit the whole casino arc in 1 and half episodes that should have been atleast 3-4. Anyway glad the animation didnt got any worse its just the pacing being absurd and being lack of soundtrack which didnt get the hype of some scene like the past episodes.

Pacing was off, everything was rushes. And manga readers know just how much was cut from this episode. Not only were we robbed of Tecchou and the ants, but also Sigma's introduction, which was way better in the manga.

We finally get the third member of the Decay of Angels, and it's quite disappointing that his entire introduction ended up getting cut from the anime. Sigma literally just shows up like some random guy in the middle of the casino. The reveal that he's also the third member of the group is so nonchalant as well. The manga placed a big emphasis on the fact that he's the third member and that it's Atsushi's top priority to capture him. But honestly, judging by the sheer amount of content that got cut this episode it's quite evident that they're trying to cram in as much of the Sky Casino plot-line as possible, which might not be the best idea considering how dense it is. And it's as shame, since Bones have done an amazing job in adapting the DOA arc thus far, but just when they reach the finale they seem to fumble. Which also once again proves me right that the inclusion of the prequel stories was a colossal mistake.

Hmm this was pretty unexpected an ep that had a lot of focus on the hunting dogs. Still it was nice to see how they are seeing things as well. If anything i don't think Lucy would have minded helping even if you didn't ask her. The boss of the hunting dogs sure had a pretty laid back side to him. A sky casino huh pretty neat idea. Sigma though sure ended up being pressed into quite the situation. Explosives disguised as coins though how dreadful. And using a casino as their main distribution point really was a genius move. Dazai's plan as ever is a good one but this one would require quite a lot of luck as well.

Lol the hunting dogs, at least Tachihara, are actual pieces of shit wow. Didn’t even care about his teammates. Don’t feel bad for him getting stabbed at all

No way this arc gets wrapped up in one episode so that means season 5 is a foregone conclusion

I need to know what happened to my baby yosano too. Like you can’t keep me waiting years

Sigma is too weak for a deadly omen, and that's the first impression. But then we see him manipulating the masses who are beneath a mountain of debt to carry out his task of eradicating the hunting dogs and.. that was ruthless.

Can't say if things will work in the favor of agency but I'm excited for the finale next week.

Its not a bad episode rly if you are an anime only, and some of the stuff they skipped might be included in the next episode, but I'd recommend reading this part for more clarity

First of let me talk about the casino, let's say even as a normal casino it looked so cool in the air above everything else with the fans, away from the land. The talk between Fyodor and Dazai, so the casino wasn't made after the war 13 years ago, it was actually made 8 days ago with the page, Sigma the general manager of the casino has amnesia and the last record Dazai found of him was three years ago when he was taken in by the European authorities, and because of his abilitiy that was whoever he touches he gets the information he wants and that's how they learned the intel about the page. He knew every client's name and everything about the Casino but it wasn't easy, he had to sacrifice sleep and work a lot to do that, and that's why Fyodor chose him to be the manager at the casino because according to him the strongest man is a mediocre man who is desperate. There were important info in the episode on how the coins were actually bombs and how it was traded around the world and how it will be used by The Decay of Angels and more things happened with the Hunting Dogs but what i wrote about what i found fascinating.

Reading some of the stuff on wiki, I genuinely have no idea where and how they are exactly going to end this with just one episode in end. Waiting for the next episode is going to be a pain, Igarashi SB most likely too. Nice explosion.

I stole this comment from reddit explaining most of the things they cut out from the manga:

I recommend reading Chapter 71 to Chapter 74 to see all the scenes they rushed and cut out from this episode... they went from adapting 2 chapters per episode to literally 4 in this one while cutting out more than 1/3 of the content... I love all the previous episode but my god this ep was by far the worse one for this season.

I think BONES is butting up against the end of Bungou's chapters. There's only a few more than 100 chapters they can adapt. I still say BONES should have taken the 24 episode route and adapted as much of this arc as they could. But I guess the trade off for a clipped story was gorgeous art and direction. At least this season was fantastic for most of its episodes.

That awesome latin singing y'all heard was from Taku Iwasaki. The closest man living to the GOAT Shiro Sagisu. Every anime Iwasaki touches gets a little bit more magic and Bungou Stray Dog's gives us some of his best work ever. If anything, the sound director isn't even using all the best tracks for this anime. Listen to the OST for this season when it drops to hear for yourself.

Thank y'all for recommending chapters 71 to 75 to read so I can see for myself what the anime cut from the manga for time.

The episode feel really rushed, and it's kind of sad. And that won't finish that "big" part next week.

Anyway I was wondering what would be Sigma real name as gift. And seeing the title of the episode, it's maybe obvious.

agreed. so much time this season has been a slow burn, and that's fine, but this should have been like 16 episodes, this one in particular had me feeling whiplash, too much too fast.

That's some really hype stuff with that flying casino that has coins used as bombs that people will spread everywhere by simply using it, that's clever in a bad way... but definitely the police is in a worse situation than the agency, people are getting paid for trying to kill them, anyway that Sigma guy is definitely gonna be an interesting opponent, especially how he has no past because of his amnesia

This episode covered chapters 71 to 74 and a bit of 75. But it is encouraged to check from 71 for some additional dialogues.
