Jesus Christ, declaring a war with such a short time frame and getting the world involved is some level stuff.

Fukichi and Yukichi had some really interesting chemistry in this struggle. We even got some narrative storytelling from the past. Dazai is still such a genius this arc. He never ceases to amaze me.

Omg I love how they are showing cranes to represent Fukuzawa and Fukuchi. The sakura leaf too.
This truly feels like the end of the world is approaching. What is the reason? So intriguing.
The whole situation is so desperate and hopeless but then we transition to Dazai fooling around with Sigma lmao. This reminded me of Chisato and how she also could always win at rock paper scissors.
I know Dazai and Sigma are most probaly gonna survive somehow but I'm still worried.
The ED is fire too.

I wonder what "Land of Inhuman Demons" means in the title?
Also I just saw that this season is going to be 11 episodes. A short one.

Vampire Akutagawa is twice as deadly. If anything ablities served to make war in this world even more deadly than it needs to be. Teruko is just full of surprises. The two sure had the most curious of first meetings though. The savior turned villain lol. It would had been anticlimatic if Fyodor had drowned that easily though i guess. The odds here truly are arrayed against the agency this time. But at the same time the light of a counterattack is starting to show.

Man no way this episode was 24 mins it feel like we just got the flashback and a little Dazai banter and then it was the ED lmao

Speaking of the flashback, when you see the Fukichi and Yukichi backstory it kind of makes sense why Fukichi fell out with him. Yukichi says that he hates being apart of groups and giving orders and then goes on to found the detective agency as its leader. Taking on quests and acting like a hero, while he told his friend who came to ask for his help to not go to war alone that he didn’t want to be apart of an organisation.

Incredible imagery during that scene btw. The Sakura petal splitting in half, the cranes, them on opposite sides of the tree trunk. Really cool.

As we saw from Mori and Akiko flashback last season, that battle was absolutely horrific and broke everyone involved. No one came home the same. Somewhat understandable that Fukichi would come back with a totally different worldview.

That said, based on Atsushi’s reaction I wonder what his endgame is. It looks like it’s not going to be something that unreasonable if it’s got Atsushi questioning if he should even stop him.

Reverse uno card is crazy. I knew Fyodor wasn’t gonna go down that easily, but damn taking out the time manipulating ability user was brutal. Dazai should’ve had some more protections in place for her or something lol. And then giving Dazai a taste of his own medicine with flooding this time on an elevator. I wonder how he and Sigma will get out of this.

I see we going with the DBZ style of 5 minutes=5 episodes lol. Looking forward to next week

Kinda getting bored with all the Fukuchi bs. Anyway Fyodor wasn't gonna die that easily. Now Dazai's the one trapped, how's he gonna get out of this situation? Also it sucks that the time user died, was hoping to see more of her in the future but guess her ability was too op to let her live.

Yeah, there was no way Fyodor would be defeated that easily. Pulled the good ol' Uno Reverse. That Yukichi and Fukuchi backstory, underneath the cherry blossoms looked really good as well. At this point though, we're catching up to the manga with not much left, don't know what kind of conclusion we're gonna get here.

Looks like the darkest hour is upon the Agency. Fukuch and Fyodor are winning, and it will be up to Atsushi and potentially Dazai to save the world, that is if the latter manages to escape Fyodor's death trap.

One hell of an reverse Fyodor played against Dazai, even killed his accomplice in cold blood. Though I do have to point out, Fyodor could have killed her in her cell, but he went out of his way to drag the woman from there to control room, only for then to make her beg for her life so Dazai could hear, ONLY for then to shoot her in the head. Fyodor was always a pretty evil person, but this is just extra petty and cruel of him.

I do feel sorry for both Fukuchi and Fukuzawa. Both of them sought to end the war, but only one of them technically succeeded. There's a good reason why Fukuchi constantly talks about how Fukuzawa never knew that battlefield. He never knew the horrors of war, therefore he could not understand what Fukuchi had gone through, and that's ultimate what broke their friendship.

Lots of impressive action again. Fukuzawa's and Fukuchi's younger days, and back to the present of them fighting against each other. Fukuchi beats. Even Ranpo got seized. I thought Dazai's plan worked out well. But yeah, there's Fyodor who survived. He won't let them win that easily. Each episode worries and excites me at the same time. Now, there are two episodes left.

Of course Fyodor outsmarted Dazai there and miraculously escaped his death, saw it coming. And now tables have turned too.. saw it coming as well lol. Though we know, Dazai would pull something extraordinary and will make it through.

Also wait, that kinda response from Atsushi upon hearing the true objective of Decay of the angles had me wondering really, I mean I can't think a single righteous hidden beneath whatever deeds they been doing till now, so I hope they'd reveal atleast that much within these two remaining episodes.

And yeah, I could barely count anyone anymore who's alive and kicking lol.

It was interesting to see Fukuzawa and Fukuchi's past and how their paths ended up so vastly different. Fukuzawa was at first a lone wolf, yet ended up gaining allies in the end while it was the total opposite to Fukuchi.

I still wonder what Fukuchi's true goal is, though... I hope it'll be as shocking as Atsushi made it out to be.

Even if most the animation is mid this season compared to last year, the story has gotten even better. If there is one positive thing here, its that Bones has proven how much money you make in anime by releasing the seasons in pieces and letting the story do it's own thing, as opposed to the way OP is still doing things. So hopefully at some point when the manga finishes up this story arc we will get a new season comparable to what this one did.

While I skipped that Wan anime as BGD is often quite unfunny to me, the novel adaption from last season was absolutely stellar. Maybe we could get some more great stories like that one.

I wonder if Fukuichi will end up like Maruki from P5R and his plan will ultimately be the best thing for everyone? Of course, either way the Detective Agency is gonna take him down.

Oh really?? So we’re gonna be left on some massive cliffhanger which probably won’t even resolve the situation with the decay of angels and have to wait 3-4 years to see it animated?

There’s literally no way this can be wrapped up in 2 more episodes. I love this show because the good guys almost never win it’s actually crazy. Atsushi is the only character in a good situation right now.

And apparently the anime has nearly caught up with the manga so we’re probably gonna have one hell of a cliffhanger to be left on for the next few years.

But screw that man ima just follow the manga,

I knew those two weren´t dead. Chuuya is a vampire, even though I don´t know if vampirism in this world has the same mechanics as in other mediums. The thing with this anime is that I´m never expecting anyone to really die, especially if it´s a main character. I bet Fukuzawa isn´t dead either, somehow.

When Atsushi is talking about the Decay of Angels´s plan and how he can´t decide if he even has the right to intervene, did he say what the plan was? Did anyone say their plan in the episode? If they did, I missed it. Can Fukuchi want the One Order to do something good? If even Atsushi was in doubt about stopping him, maybe they got something. And he already has nearly half the world under vampirism, does he want the One Order to control de other half? Is it to control everyone and prevent anyone from going to war ever again? We´re nearly the end, so I can´t wait to see where this ends up.

Okay so I need some help from u guys I have recently caught up and I’m quite new so there’s a few things I do not understand.


Is the anime ahead of the manga and are both mensualy uploaded? I ran out of episodes so I went online to read the manga but there’s nothing as the last episode, if so there is about the previous one. I’m so confused and I genuinely need help.

Also don’t want to be completely out of context so Imma rate last episode. It was so freaking tense I felt trapped, but it was amazing tho, I left with so many doubts and so scared that I freaked out and started looking for the manga and here I am after not finding much!! I will need a full recovery from this 8/10

Well to no one's surprise, Fyodor and Chuuya didn't get killed off so easily. Now the script has been flipped on Dazai who now finds himself at risk of drowning. Let's see what he comes up with to get him and Sigma out of there.

I liked the backstory with Fukichi and Fukuzawa, the scene underneath the cherry blossom tree was especially beautiful. It always sucks seeing the backstory of former friends, and seeing how the rift in their friendship happened. For now, it's looking like RIP Fukuzawa :(
