Odasaku is my favorite character despite just being introduced as a flashback character this season. Damn, probably means he's going to die but I don't think it's going to be from the poison since he still has so much to show us. I really like the start ("vibe") of this season though, even better than the previous one.

New OP is awesome. I think it's better than the 1st season. I like the neon look of it. Dazai was very cool in this episode. The part when he punched Akutagawa was epic. So Ango was a double spy from the start. That was something. I really hope Odasaku isn't dead. He was such a great character.

I'm afraid I won't see atsushi this season. So basically this season tell us about Dazai's past, huh?
Too bad, I want to see Atsushi and others this season so badly :(


I think it might be 50% dazai past, 50% new enemy I think

I like the ideals of Odasaku and Ango even though they are affiliated to a mafia who kills people, this two still value someone's life. That badass Dazai we got there. Looking forward for the next episode. Did Odasaku really died on the poison, or just maybe lost consciousness.

Something does not add up. If He is part of Mimic then why did he need to be saved? Is some other group trying to kill him or is he belonging to some other group?

I liked first season, thought it was a good mix of humor and action, but except for Dazai I didn't really like the characters. I didn't hate them, I just didn't find them overly interesting.

As for second season, it's fucking awesome. The 3 main characters so far (Dazai, Ango and Odasaku) are nicely developed, and the best part is, it's only been 2 episodes so far.
Can't wait to see where they go from here, but it's looking great.

Contrary to what the others may think at the port mafia, oda is saying and he deduced after the investigation of his office that ango is a port mafia spy who infiltrated mimic organization as mori ordered him and not the opposite . However, mimic knew he was a spy and so he was captured . However, there's more to ango than that which is implied by the last scene when neither mimic menbers nor mafia members escorted him . I think we'll have to wait till the end of this arc ...

You appear to be correct unless it changes mid season or next episode.

Are we going to be seeing Atsushi and the others?

I love the tone and atmosphere of this eps
The soundtrack is calm yet sad
I love the OP way more than the previous OP although previous ED is better than this season ED
Really sad when I think flawless skill actually has some flaw and Odasaku is poisoned by the ball and predict it when he had touched it
Feeling sorry for Odasaku, he is a kind man but betrayed by his close friend like that
I wonder why Dazai leave port mafia, is this arc has relation with his leaving..
Btw 5/5

Damn, so Ango triple-crossed them by betraying both Port Mafia and Mimic?

Badass Dazai is amazing. Loved it especially with the punch and the delivery of the line "punch you twice and shoot you five times". You get a sense of how dark Dazai truly is and Miyano delivered beautifully.

Odasaku literally grabbed the idiot ball this time. Even if your gift doesn't kick it, you don't just pick up something that rolled out of nowhere! (To be honest, I thought it was a bomb and he would have kicked it away, dive-bombed or tackled Ango out of the way.)

Prefer this season's OP, but last season's ED.

Me too. If I'm not wrong (I didn't pay that much attention), last episode he was the one to say that one of them died. Then, it would be weird if he's the one to die, cause... dead people can't talk.

I really want to know what happens next! And I hope Ango would just die already!

My main problem with season one was Atsushi. These last two episodes have been much better in my opinion without him - or maybe I just prefer the more serious tone we have right now. Whichever it is, this arc is pretty cool.

That was my first thought too... seeing as it could have been a bomb or something, the first thing he probably should have done is dived away for cover or something

I can understand him not rolling away due to his ability to see into the future. Still seems stupid to just pick up something that's obviously suspicious though.

this season is decent compared to the last one until Mr edgelord showed up but he got punched so it's all good.

and was kinda dumb after all that happened to pick up a random ball rolling right towards you hell i wouldn't even pick up something with a weird ass design like that myself lol.

Best part of the show is still the music for me op and ed are great

More past stuff. As much as I like to find out about Dazai's past, I'm getting impatient with the current stuff(this is what happens when you read the manga beforehand and have high expectations because the first season did so well with following it ._. )

Also yes, we should be seeing Atsushi and the others soon(I hope..... where's my short mafia bby?? Dx )

And I've been listening to the OP before this season aired and I loooove it. x3 I love both OPs equally but this one got me so pumped up for the second season it's so freaking good, man. <3333 However I was expecting something.... different for the visuals. Who knows, maybe this was just for this ep?? Maybe it'll have the American group once they switch storylines??? Idk..... only time will tell.

Atsushi may come off as eh not a great protagonist but it's worth bearing with cause of his development in the guild arc . I hope the 2 arcs don't get compared as they're both great (granted the adapdation remains faithful to the source) especially the guild arc with all the characters and ongoing conflict. Personally, i like atsushi . But dazai is a fan favourite (chuuya too lol). Akiko is my best girl (followed by kyouka and kouyou).
Also oda didn't jump away cause he knew it's not a bomb that detonates instantly thanks to his ability . Instead it was poison planted for him to trigger his ability's drawback of realizing the danger too late . I know still he shouldn't have picked it up carelessly just cause it wasn't a bomb ...

@kittyxchan chapter 31 can't come any sooner lol

Lol the kids were smart and laid an ambush for Odasaku lol

Love the opening song

Lol Odasaku and the kids was cute together
the tickle torture always works

Its nice of him to take care of those orphan's though

Dazai is as crafty as ever with his traps

And wow that accounting facility is huge bookcases

So thats how Odasaki and Dazai met Ango

So its nice to see Akutagawa again and surprisingly as Dazai's subordinate and not enemy lol

Odasaku has a pretty handy gift doesn't he
Being able to see five seconds into the future is an interesting ability

Hmm i actually thought that i figured Ango out but that changes once again

Anyway i hope that Odasaku doesn't die though
he's too good of a character to die so quickly.

Damn why did he have to pick up that poison ball? A random object that is thrown at you from the bushes in a situation like that probably isn't something you should touch.

Anyways, I really hope he doesn't die there when we've just gotten to know him better! I also think he also has a lot of potential as a character!

Loved this second episode too :Q_
Evil Dazai is so friggin cool :D Of course I don't think that Odasaki's dead, but man.. That moment with Ango.. It was just perfect!
I don't get why people are complaining tho, I haven't read the manga nor the light novels but it doesn't look like BSD is the typical shonen where people fight and fight against increasingly stronger enemies.. Hence, why the complaints? Dazai's backstory looks super intriguing and the new cast is super good. :\
Oh, and the new op. Dark af. Love it.

It was another interesting episode about Dazai's past. I really like the visuals in the new opening. I hope Odasaku didn't die. Anyways, it'll be nice when we return to the guild arc, as that's what I've been really excited to see since the first season ended.

OP and ED of S2 is both so good!
I really crave for the seriousness of this show!
Too bad Odasaku died! you really couldn't tell how powerful other organizations is like Mimic unless they bring down top executives one by one.
Dazai badass attitude that he showed us on Akutagawa was awesome!
This is still storytelling of the past of Dazai right.
5/5!

Also this makes me think Ango actually betrayed the mafia (he might even be the leader). Before I doubted it but the way he was talking about all that stuff was weird. Maybe I'm just thinking to much about it.
