Damn, there's some manipulation going on here. Trying to take out Akira wasn't going to be easy but seriously, trying to get used manipulative tactics is sketchy.

However, this also proves just how dangerous Akira is. Episode has perhaps one of the most tense and complicated buildup in the show so far. Not that it wasn't obvious already but Akira truly has built a reputation for himself.

Thought the detective dudes were scum enough, but somehow, someway, they've found a way to become even more scummier, with them LYING TO POOR HINA ABOUT AKRIA KILLING HER PARENTS???? WHAT???

Then the girl wants a part of the "revenge" on Akira now. Smh... Then we got the whole thing with Mr. Pervert possibly still being alive, jeez. Meanwhile we got Akira over here strolling into the detective's apartment with the booby trap, AND JUMPING DOWN TO THE SECOND FUCKING FLOOR LIKE IT WAS NOTHING... LMAOOOO.

It's always cute to see Ryo being the number one Fable fan.

Akira calling Ebihara to inform him to delete Yoko's unsanitary recording as a gangster (which falls on Takahashi), as much as Suzuki is ready to prepare his overseas escape, and the issue about Hinako is egging on Akira's mind on who is the culprit who killed her parents and left her paralyzed waist down. This is something that Utsubo also contemplated, but to rule Akira as the killer seems too much suspicious for ulterior motives. Too bad for Isaki, Kainuma's body is washed away by the strong water current, so it's hard to retrieve his body. Hinako confirming the suspicions with her know-how, and concedes to Utsubo's attempt to capture Akira at the very soonest.

Isaki being at a loss whilst Hinako and Suzuki readies their plan to work with Utsubo, the plan gets into action pitting the two kingpins against each other: Fable vs. Koichi Kawamura. Adding Hinako's unplanned accident into the lurch, Utsubo trying to sully Akira into his story, Yoko clearly knows it's a trap, and decides to tail together with her brother. The first trick with rigging Utsubo's place to activate the grenade and explode the moment he opens the door, Suzuki thought of a foolproof plan, and Akira did as told, and escaped unscathed 2 floors down.

Seriously, nothing fazes the Fable, and anyone not taking Akira seriously should know their consequences by now...

Damn straight you don't need legs to use a gun.

I swear I haven't forgotten about Ebihara and the Maguro Group. Good to see Kuro's nose back to normal. Utsubo's lying to Hinako to make her think Fable killed her parents, while the other guy is screwing up dumping Hentai-kun's body. That trap with the hot wheel car was some genius at work, but to a pro like Fable, four seconds is an eternity. Dio has to realize he's in over his head.

Those two fuckers still don't understand that Akira is like fifty steps ahead of them, I mean we call him The Fable not for nothing.

another amazing episode, it’s so funny seeing them try to catch Sato off guard since he is just on a totally different level; this show kills me with each episode because I just can’t wait for the next one

It's interesting to see how much detail everyone does in planning a trap and how Fable gets out of it.

A little bit disappointed by how stupid these guys are. I thought they were smart enough to make a decent trap as an assassin, it turns out they are not a big deal at all. Although its too early to say this, maybe they have reasons behind their plan A, i hope they would explain how OBVIOUSLY it won't kill the target.

Who else is expecting that Hina will shoot Utsubo in the end?

P.S. can't have enough of Sato's sketches and others' reaction to them in the ending. xD

Really doesnt seem like a bright idea to use a grenade in an apartment complex where everyone would hear it.

Wondering if that apartment is rented for someone with a fake name since they've used it as a booby trap. Cops will be all over it. Quite sure they used fake names, since Utsubo apparently is one. This series sure is something else compared to others. Enjoying it a lot.

Who in their right mind would use a grenade in an apartment full of people? Even if they don't hurt or kill Akira, someone else would get hurt or kill. Once the nade went off, I'm sure the police will show up soon after, so what's next?

@Necrius Yeah, I'm trying hard to avoid spoilers but I think that's the most logical way out for Fable and they kinda hinted at it in someway.

Nice to see Youko joining Fable on his crusade. Hopefully we will see her being badass again.

Utsubo-Suzuki's Plan A was... disappointing, to say the least.

Another enjoyable episode.
