Damn, what a great episode so much happening at the same time. Dazai's scheme and insurance behind the scene, Nikolai's involvement in breaking the jail, and also the interaction between Bram with Aya was quite jocular. This episode is funny and nerve-wracking, made me even more impatient to see what happened next.

To normal people Dazai and Fyodor seem to live on the edge. To them it's just another fun afternoon. Never a dull moment with these two.

Aya and Bram are also a surprisingly great duo lol. Fun episode.

Let's appriaciate how the editing is so on point that this episode end at the moment the radio was offered, and the radio start playing the ED song.
That was clean and smart

Plot wise, this is my favorite anime of the Summer 2023 season, for many reasons. This episode we got:-


  • Ranpo being out smarted by ... someone
  • Fukichi getting One Order but being unable to use it because of
  • Precautions put in place by Dazai using his friend
  • Dazai and Fyodor maniacally laughing while injecting themselves in a double suicide high stakes DEATH GAME 
  • The girl running off with Bram, except she's named him ... Bra-chan (snicker)
  • Bram not wanting to help her unless he gets a radio, which
  • She provides by using her phone (!!!) and his expression was priceless
  • The phone screen transitioning to the ED ---- GENIUS


Love this show so much, best season yet and not enough people are watching it.

How many years exactly has Bram been trapped in there? OMG what a twist
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Ah One Order cant be used yet...
The girl "stole" Count Bram and called him "Bra-chan".

Can't believe that Aya made friends with Bram so fast lol, man didn't even bother doing anything since he can't really do much.

Well the plan went sideways since the pilot and the dude got drugged or something and the plane fell out of the sky and now Fukichi has the One Order but he can't get it even open lol. The battle between Dazai & Fyodor is gonna be interesting as well, they need to be more happy that Nikolai & the casino guy came to their rescue or something. Bram listening to that music like he is out of that planet and in his own planet, nice.

Really not sure why this isn't much more popular in the west, maybe season 1 just wasn't good enough after all to gain the viewers. 
Speaking of quality, this show has always stayed consistent, Bones definitely doesn't fuck around here like with My Hero Academia and the big staff doing their unnecessary movies, neglecting the TV series.

Agreed! A while back there was this thing where Goodreads had an infographic showing the highest rated book by a local author for each country, and for Japan it was one of the issues of Bungo Stray Dog manga! My guess is it must be this arc, which has been fire. A lot probably haven't seen the previous seasons, but it's really good, just like Golden Kamuy. Seasons are short-ish and the story keeps moving forward and characters are distinct, with their own personalities and powers. I like that they're keeping me guessing!

Glad they're not messsing it up like MHA but the MHA story isn't on the same level as BSD, not even close. Plus MHA has a ton of unnecessary shounen gags + cash grab movies, which kind of detracts from the experience. I miss the good old days of S1 when things were better.

I just got done catching up on this season and holy hell man this season is LIT.

One thing that’s good about Bungo — and a bad thing — is that it introduces new concepts *very* fast and just runs with it without question. Like the 10 tragedies were never foreshadowed before (unless I misremembered), but the execution is so well done that I can usually forgive the quick introduction and application.

Bungo has some really creative ideas and it can be hard to keep track of all the moving parts at times, but that’s what makes it good imo.

Plus the supporting cast is awesome. Too bad Atsushi is kind of mediocre though.

This might just have been the best transition to the ED theme of an episode, up there with the likes of Kyoukai no Kanata's. 

Fyodor vs. Dazai takes an interesting turn, I'm definitely curious to see how this insane battle goes. Got to feel for the sane person in the group, lol. 

Digital music, that's a good choice. Guaranteed sleep for Bram-chan! Things keep going from worse to worst for Fukichi-san. Here's to hoping Ango-san's gamble goes well, too.

Ngl, since the 4th season Bungou Stray Dogs became hauntingly good. 

I love the fact that maybe Aya will now have a greater role in preventing the spread of the vampire virus further by taking Bram with her and asking him for help to escape. They somehow have a really adorable dynamic together and finally Aya fulfills Bram's wish for a radio respectively a smartphone.

Ranpo again breeding the best plans this time on by playing along with the world expectations regarding the Detective Agency to be fullblown terrorists and using an explosion to discourage the escort team of One Order to land at the airport. Fyodor and Dazai's foresight turns out to be even scarier as they predict almost everything by now. Dazai just manipulating everyone to play along with his plans (even Ango to lie to the prime minister)...

At the beginning of Bungou Stray Dogs we got the impression of Dazai just being a reasonably smart, tired of life being goofball, who likes to joke around at the expense of others, but now he's just one of the scariest protagonists ever. Honestly Fyodor and Dazai predicting even Nikolai's game is just crazy and they even seem to enjoy every minute of this twisted shit.

And a bit out of context... I'm generally enjoying how tables turned in the developpement of Atsushi and Akutagawa's fighting bond. Despite being rather contradicting like black and white and generally archenemies, they seem to develop a similar dynamic as Dazai and Chuuya by becoming the new double black and even a similar level of mutual trust as Chuuya is counting on in the true form of his ability: Corruption, where he fully relies on Dazai to bring him back.

Absolutely perfect episode! oh gosh! there's too many characters involved! Fyodor and Dazai are on it again! and Bram is now gonna change sides because of an ipod which is more useful than an old school radio! oh man! i think this is the slow start of the downfall of Fukuchi! nyahaha!!!
5/5.

Hiding inside the coffin was a surprisingly decent idea. I love the interaction between her and Bram Bram. She's become a goddess to her!

I agree with Sigma, Daizai and Fyodor are both crazy. I'm really curious with how their prison escapes will go.

one of the worst episodes ever.

lot of the good stuff from the manga were cut out and plot is moving too fast.

there is no thrill left to watch what happens next that was present before.

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.

It's time for the guys at prison to get physically involved. Also, wow what an ED transition. The episode was the debut of the new SB artist, but considering Igarashi is a genius of ED transitions, it's possibly just his work.

We finally got to see dazai and Fyodor again. Their game of chess and mind game in the world while being confined is really something. And looks like both of them will fight for survival in Nikolais game. Will be interesting to see how that turns out. Aya and Bram have an interesting dynamic lmao.This season is a masterpiece so far ngl.
