| Looks like this case got more complicated with the involvement of an organization and Ranpo taking hostage... I have to admit, this was not just a thrillnig episode but also an emotional one. They really captured Ranpo's personality a lot from this beyond just his detective role |
 |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Good that the flashback arc is now done, and from the next episode we back in the present times with the main gang. The crying part was cringe, but the slap was funny. |
 |
| It's pretty cool to know how the Detective Agency came about, by this flashback with Fukuzawa and Ranpo, two characters I wanted to know more about. It seemed that the whole theatre plot was bigger than expected, but Ranpo figured it all out, but Fukuzawa slapped him while giving him a bit of a lesson - not to flaunt your gifts and be reckless. Also glad we got to see Odasaku again, and the guy with cane was Natsume, the author all along? Back to present time we go next episode... |
| Woot, we back to the present next week, with a great new case |
RabbitBeardy said: I actually think part of his power makes him so intelligent but who knows because its said he's able to 'see through all kinds of things' but what does that really meanReally like this episode, Natsume-sensei is really op. Not because his OP power but his wisdom and intelligent. |
| I was skeptic at first, but I ended liking this arc despite not being a manga one. Made me like Fukuzawa more and his dad-son relationship with Rampo was endearing. Plus, since this is basically the origin of the Armed Detective Agency it doesn't feels so out of place as Chuuya's arc last season. |
 |
| So we got a glimpse of the legendary hero Fukuchi Ouchi, and more importantly how the Agency was founded. Gotta say, I didn't really care much about the mystery, but the relationship between Fukuzawa and Ranpo was the highlight of the arc. Also it's not even a surprise that Fyodor is connected to this incident. Whenever there's trouble he's not too far behind. Now that this arc is done we can finally get back to the present next episode. |

| Another flashback arc done right. If it wasn't for Fukuzawa arriving just at the right time, I bet Ranpo's head would've been blown to smithereens. Though him telling even this was part of his plan was just so like himself lol. Anyways that slap did deepen the bond and as they themselves mentioned was the start of everything.. the establishment of detective agency. Back to the present from next week. Can't wait. |
 |
| I liked this flashback arc, seeing more Fukuzawa and Ranpo is definitely a plus, and we even got to see how the agency was formed. Now that the flashback has been wrapped up, we head back to the present next episode, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that story continues. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| So that was Natsume Soseki, he purposedly let himself be captured so that Ranpo would solve the mystery, damn. It's back to present, can't wait to see Dazai. |
 |
| Man this flashback arc was so fire. Really didn’t care for Ranpo that much before, I have a whole new appreciation for his character now. Cool to see Fyodor as well. Can’t wait to be back to the present next week and see Dazai and the gang tho. Been so long. |

| 3 episodes to close this arc! Nice end and with action too!!! kekeke |
| So good man. The flashbacks in this series are always so great. |
| Ranpo saying that the that the cityscape looks different. Half of this arc was black & white, or maybe Ranpo just really needed those glasses, but probably is the basic "my life changed, now I see thing different". I wish was the self-conscious joke. |
 |
| This 3 episode arc showing how the detective agency was founded was amazing, too bad we won't see Fukuzawa and Ranpo duo anymore |
 |
| I loved this arc! I would like to know how the rest of them joined the Agency (meaning Kunikida and the others, we only know of Dazai and Atsushi and Ranpo now) Also, Hiroshi Kamiya is the best |
| As ever Rampo is fast on the uptake. But him leaving a clue for his reluctant partner while being led to the next scene was quite well prepared of him. Figures that Rampo would end up meeting a group of would be revolutionlists. With the level of threat posed by the group changing the facilities menu is a small prize to pay for such valuble info. The seven second assult sure was damm entertaining. For all his skill though Rampo is still very much a child so it was interesting to see him get reminded of this by the boss. |

| Fyodor was the mastermind all along way past before it began eh? Hmm diabolical. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| a bit long for a flashback but it wasn't bad. that's 1/4 of the season with not much plot advancement. can't wait to get back to the present. |
 |
| I’ve loved all of the flashback arcs and this one was no exception. Well done storytelling. But also can’t wait till next week to return to present time. |
| We got to see how the Detective Agency got born from the ground up, which was nice to see. The fighting scenes were cool as well, I loved how Ranpo knew that Fukuzawa was coming to save him. The next episode we are back to the present, as well as the other characters, interesting to see how the story will continue. |
  |
| Whoh, when you realise Edogawa is still a child here. That was a really interesting backstory of founding the Agency. Liked it a lot, but also glad we'll see other major characters soon. |
  |
| solid episode, if this keeps up s4 might end up being my favorite season. kinda doubtful tho since we're back to present times next week. flashback arc was great. |

| well well time 4 main villains V to appear |
 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. |
| Ranpo is za good boi ! |
| Very good arc, Fukuzawa and Ranpo are nice boys ! |
| That's how everything started(except his past), really great fight scenes, looking forward to see how the guys are now, |
 |
| the scene of Ranpo crying was very, very emotional :( |
''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| I loved these backstory episodes!!! Fukuzawa and Rampo are such a nice duo! Next episode we are returning to present! |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
| hahaha! This is somewhat like hearing Levi cry (same VA) Ranpo is still chill the whole abduction scene!! nice ep! 5/5. |
