dreampunk said: Yeah, i knew that since that was established earlier. I'm just wondering if he, too, like Ranpo, actually doesn't have a gift because, one, he at the moment doesn't seem aware of his own powers let alone gifters at all and, two, the way he helped Ranpo control his "powers" suggests that he could have used similar methods with the rest of the agencyhe is gifted but he doesn't have a combat based gift, his gift helps the armed detective agency control their gifts |
| Ah u mother fucker police officer. the plot is thicc  Now we get to why its the armed detective agency |
 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. |
| Well geniuses tend to be annoying sometimes. But Ranpo kun is really cute character. btw, rewatch the last 3 seasons where Ranpo is still there all the time. |

| Yup, still on Ranpo's side and he's as great as before with his deduction power |
 |
| Great episode, I love these backstory episodes! So that's how Ranpo "got his abilities.." xD! |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
| Yup. I've had a bad feeling ever since he approached Ranpo and Fukuzawa on the stairs, that the cop was suspicious. Why does an "insignificant" character have a fairly long screentime where he's talking to the person who's basically just revealing the truth of what happened? Shouldn't he interrogate the actor and the other writer first... since they are basically the masterminds (as Ranpo mentioned on stage), how can the mastermind/writer be left in the theater while only Ranpo is taken to the police station... Fukuzawa should also increase his vigilance. I'm sorry if I'm wrong but, since Ranpo had said that this incident consisted of two crimes at once (when he was talking about ebi), I hope Ranpo had expected that something like this would happen to him and he already knew that the cop had bad intentions towards him. |
 |
| That's how Ranpo got his glasses, and started working for him, wonder if the time will be back to present time in the next episode. |
 |
| The case was kinda obvious but still the presentation was good and looks like there's more to it. |
 |
| Wow, such an episode. When Ranpo starts to see the world in colour after Fukuzawa's help I was like... This is cinema.  |
| I'm loving this arc, it's spoilers for me since the manga here is well behind this story, but I don't care |
| Fukuzawa did really save Ranpo here. What a nice way to make him believe in himself. I am liking Fukuzawa more and more. Also that ending? Damn, now that´s a cliff-hanger. |
I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party, and I attended with my real face. - franz kafka |
| Nice transition to a color palette to symbolize Fukuzawa finally opening up to being in a team / mentor. |
 |
| Another interesting backstory arc. I'm curious to read the novels about it. Ranpo is one of the best guys ! |
| Ok they trolled us on this season. They have the image of all the characters but Ranpo and he the star of this season so far. |
 |
| I love how this story reveals that despite how dignified and cool Fukuzawa seems, he's actually just going with the flow like everyone else. I think this story is my fave BSD story; it's so beautiful how Fukuzawa creates this vivid and safe world for Ranpo and then ultimately goes on to do the same for so many other people who are lost and hurting. I also love how everyone else in the world is very hush-hush about their abilities but Ranpo's just out here screaming it from the rooftops. |
 |
| Do you mean Ranpo? If so then sorry to break this to you but he's one of the biggest characters in the coming arc. |
|
| Backstory of Ranpo's glasses LOL :o |
 |
| This is the fourth season, yet I'm still amazed how smart Ranpo is. And he's not even Gifted, just talented. Also, what is the police officer (If he even is a real police officer) smirking about? If he's scheming something, I wish him the best of luck with trying to outsmart Ranpo. He'll need all the help and luck he can get. |
 |
| What. That definitely wasn't a 20-min episode, it went by like in 5 minutes. Edogawa is so clumsy. Simply charming. It was also really impressive how they changed the scenes to colour, nice artistic choice! |
  |
| Man, am I hyped to watch more of this! Its DEFINITELY one of the ongoing greats! |

| I like how we went from black and white to colour during Ranpo's self-discovery. What a stupid reason to pretend to die. |

Yudesei said: You shouldn't to be honest, cause Ranpo isn't really smart, he is just a kid who got answers for upcoming test from the teacher, while everyone else conveniently plays along to make him look smarter. Like a professional killer/bodyguard didn't even check the wound to determine what killed the actor or where he was hit from, or like he completely ignored the fact that the body jumped towards the audience while the impact was on the chest and should push him back. And how convenient was the fact that Ranpo didn't think that actor was just nervous cause the role was hard, but deducted that he clearly took his blood to later fake his own death. If author just said Ranpo is gifted - yep, no questions, he has a bs power so he gets a bs result. But instead it is "actually he is really smart" card, while character in question either has some kind of stupidity aura that makes him look smart compared to people around him, or just straight up KNOWS the answer cause he deducted it from small faulty pieces of information that all convinently appeared to be true.This is the fourth season, yet I'm still amazed how smart Ranpo is. |

You're basically saying that Ranpo either made some lucky guesses that just happened to be true or was somehow informed about the answers beforehand, neither or which were true. But you do you. |

Yudesei said: But it is true tho. Because author just handed the answer to Ranpo, as most of the logic that would lead to solving the case was simply missing every time he did his "investigation". If you somehow misunderstood that there was a character who told him the anser in the episode - of cource it would be wrong, and I never claimed that. So yes, it was either pure luck or bad writing (due to inability of the author of writing good and logical investigation story) that just gave him the answer for his case.slavemaster_1991 said: You shouldn't to be honest, cause Ranpo isn't really smart, he is just a kid who got answers for upcoming test from the teacher, while everyone else conveniently plays along to make him look smarter.
