Honestly surprised at how fast Fitzgerald was able to recover so much money. His bargain shopping reminded me a lot of Shirogane in Kaguya-sama.
We don't have a lot of episodes left to see what Fyodor and his group are planning, feels like this season is going to end on a cliffhanger.

For me this show is at its best when Atsushi isn't the focus.

Fitzgerald's comeback is so awesome! From being poor after the Moby Dick incident until buying out the company's stocks, what a brilliant bastard. And oh his new obsession of pots and sale items were hilarious, kinda remind me of Tamaki Suoh of Ouran. I hope we can see more of the new Guild!!

I don't think that I found Fiztgerald to be that enjoyable in the second season but I definitely enjoyed seeing him again in this episode.

Francis is such a cunning manipulative character, a true villain. I am really glad he's back as the guild's boss again, I'm hoping he Will give the agency another challenge.


i bet some1 else will and he will work with the agency as allie, i don't thing he wants a reoeat of last season, so he won't mess with them any longer

Indeed , i think he's standing as an ally for the moment in the manga cause things are so fuc@ed yp for the agency going up against Fyodor's partners in crime (Decay of Angels)

Francis is such a fun character. I like how he loves buying the pots that are on sale, I kinda have similar tendencies so it was fun to watch.

I thought Fitzgerald was amusing in season 2, but this episode alone made him so much better. His new bargain sale obsession is hilarious lol

Francis is suddenly 100 times more interesting now that he has to start over from scratch. i honestly didn't really like him in season 2 and he isn't that memorable either, but now im really starting to like his character. he's really made an impression on me, especially when he opened the door to the court room with that ace attorney stance lol, my heart nearly stopped a beat. also i like his unwavering love for his wife, despite being a villain (who usually don't care about love or friendship). He might be one of my top favs if this continues.

I think this episode just established to me what the most unique thing about Bungou Stray Dogs is, it's not a series with disposable arc villains. I loved season 2, but I was perfectly content if Fitzgerald never reappeared again, I thought the Guild was done, maybe see some of the characters again, but it was an arc that was over. But apparently no, the arc may have ended but they still exist, they still have the ability to play a part in what's to come. That's actually really cool and I can't think of another battle series that did something like that.

Well, that's one hell of a comeback Francis pulled off there xD

Great episode again, Francis is such a charistmatic guy, having him back surely feels good. Also lol, him being into his new hobby is so amusing and it's a humorous way to illustrate his development as a person to boot.



Best episode of the season, I seriously love it when the half ass villain change to something better.
not to forget this episode gave me Hunter x Hunter Yorknew vibes, with the girl using her ability to bring back the company on its feet.

I like this episode. It's refreshing to see a different side of Francis and also Louisa. Damn those lowlife thugs, they really think they can win against the ability users? Lol.

I’ll admit that the episode was funny and entertaining. Francis’ scene entering to the wrong room was hilarious and he looking for offers. I really liked Francis’ suit, it has great detail in the neck, this man’s likes are gold. So, Louisa was the only one looking for him, he should care for her more, and this episode made me realize how charismatic he is. With Guild disbanded, what’s next for them, create a new team maybe.

Quite an exciting episode. That shy but cunning (and, as we saw in season 2, ruthless) girl managed to bring Fitzgerald back in the game, though he had really given up on everything. By the way, it is interesting that her power is largely irrelevant to being an "almost perfect strategist". Her power simply allows her to slow down time 8000 times, thus she can do in ~1.5 minutes (not the mentioned 3 minutes) as much work as can be done in 3 weeks.
I guess if she is already a great strategist to begin with having all that time to work with, gather data etc can indeed make her an "almost perfect" one. As we saw in season 2 there are variables she can miss because she doesn't see the future, she just has more time to predict it.

So the solution she came up with is to have Fitzgerald pull a con on that chairman (the real murderer). Somehow, perhaps using guarantees from his connections, Fitzgerald managed to borrow no less than $400 million in order to short the chairman's company (i.e. bet that its stock price will fall). So, assuming the company's stock price was $20 before, if it crashed to just ~$1 after the news Fitzgerald only needed to return that ~$1 per share back to the lender; i.e. just $20 million.

The other ~$380 million were pure profit! Brilliant, right? By the way, I am quite certain that in the largely lawless universe of Stray Dogs stock manipulation laws do not even exist; otherwise Fitzgerald would need to move his new company headquarters to his jail cell for defrauding the company's investors (their loss was Fitzgerald's gain, and the cause of their loss was -again- Fitzgerald himself).. In the real world, assuming you did that in the US, the FBI would knock on your door on the same day :)

So everything, once again, revolves around that legendary book. Both Fitzgerald and Dostoevsky are looking for it. The imbecile Atsushi is the only one in the Detective Agency who knows about the book (Fitzgerald himself told him) but hasn't breathed a word about it to anyone (at least not on screen). I mean it was not a minor detail to miss, it was the freaking reason Fitzgerald attacked Yokohama for!

After watching 4 episodes while eating, it's time to comment on all of these.

Wait Francis is back? "Reviving" someone just so they can do the same thing they did before "dying" would be a dumb move, so I'm hoping he does something. Good episode.

Good to see villainous Fitzgerald back on his feet again and even bringing down a company in the process. Gotta say its funny how he waltzed into the neighbours room as if its his own place and was amazed by shopping with limited funds.

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.
