And an orphanage is the first place where you would take the act at face value. i mean, it doesnt mean that yea buttttttttt >every battle series and shigatsu literally uses that as an excuse to justify and make the abuser look better like bruh tho tbf, it's easy to figure out since like dazai said, he told no one about him being a tiger, didnt chase him at all, and tiger boi is being played as an expy to atukagawa, who also has an abusive mentor tough love, cough cough It's been years since I've seen Shigatsu, but I don't necessarily think that they wanted to portray the mother in a better light retrospectively, at least I still didn't like her. And I mean, most people try to fool themselves while exercising some heinous acts in order to ease the burden and to make themselves feel less guilty. Everyone has probably something to justify his actions, unless you're straight up a psychopath. So yeah, normal thing to do. It's easy to figure out, once you have all pieces of information and I'm not the most invested watcher, so a lot of details were lost on me โ๐ป |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| this is why i love this anime ... action is just for bonus |
| strong feels come from this episode especially dazai's word in the last moment next episode will be the beginning for the new arc |

thebusofdoom said: To be honest I'm quite disappointed of how Atsushi's backstory was adapted in this episode. It was extremely rushed and cut out quite a lot of detail from the manga. The anime did get the message across, but the manga's extra flashbacks of Atsushi's torturous time at the orphanage had more of an emotional impact in explaining not only his resentment, but also the actions and motivations of the headmaster. A shame was looking forward to seeing this chapter adapted, it's one of my favorite in the manga and goes a long way in explaining how Atsushi is the person he is today. This should have been adapted into a full episode. Oh well at least senpai Dazai was on hand to give him advice in coping with the loss of the headmaster. Oh btw for those who haven't watched the Hitori Ayumu OVA yet, I suggest doing so now as chronologically in the manga it takes place after this episode. Exactly my thoughts! I really liked Atsushis Backstory in the manga, but in the Anime it just flew by without giving much explanatory and depth to the scene. It didn't really make much sense without more context. Quite disappointing since the BSD Anime has usually been pretty good when it came to the adaptation. |
| 3/5 This episode felt a bit redundant. |
| Kyoka's backstory felt kinda rushed and didn't hit me that much. But the second part really touches me. Poor boy got really abused but still cried when the headmaster died. Its kinda sad that the headmaster just wanted to buy some flower and apologize to Atsushi, even if what he did is not forgivable, that's really touching for me. So in the next episode we're going to see Fitzgerald, rich daddy becomes a hobo And bless Bones for animating Atsushi's beautiful butt |

| Lucy's part was really cute, she is seeking revenge against Atsushi because he didn't maintain his promise to save her, but she also dind't maintain to wait for him, but their moment was really cute, Lucy as an adorable way for sure! Also liked to see her blushing! Kyouka's flashback was really awesome, i always wanted to see it, so Snow Demon really did kill her parents, but it was the only way her aprent had to save her, at same time sSnow demon saved her, and i am glad mother tranfered her powers to Kyouka! Rampo part was hilarious! So we also could saw some of Atsushi's past, headmaster had died, i compeltely agree with Danzai words, headmaster created Atsushi but at same time he did barbaric things! |
 |
| I really love this anime and manga, but this is the worst ep so far, especially that atsushi and his father part. They should've adapted it to 2 ep ova instead. |
| wow kyouka and tiger past revealed/ solved... nice |
 |
| I'm confused... why did Kouyou (from Port Mafia) help Kyouka (Detective Agency) by going through this much trouble and investing half a year budget, if she was the one in the first place who instilled that fake information in her head? She said it's her "congratulation gift" for joining, so it was really just an act of love? Overall, this was such an emotional episode, 5/5 |

Overall, this was such an emotional episode, 5/5 Kouyou never truly lied or gave Kyouka any false information. Back in season 2 she said that Demon Snow had killed her parents, which wasn't exactly a lie, but never told her why she killed them. As for the reason why, well Kouyou seems to love Kyouka in a twisted sort of way, just like how she tried to bring her back into the Port Mafia since she thought that the outside world wasn't for her and that it would hurt her. Just like how she ended up requesting of Atsushi to protect her once she realized what Kyouka truly wanted. Seeing where Kyouka was truly happy, she ended up giving up on trying to take her back and left her with Atsushi and the Agency. So yeah, this was a "congratulation gift" for her joining the Agency. An act of love from Kouyou. |
| Another great episode! we go to see the true revelation of what happened to Kyouka's parents... This was a great script from Dazai: "You were truly in hell. But that hell raised you properly" and we see Atsushi's sorrow because the one he truly hates (headmaster) was involved with an accident that turned-out to be no foul play? or is really? hmmmm so hilarious when HanaKana screamed by the epic fail plan of Atsushi! 5/5. |

| I ship Atsushi and Kyouka so seeing them together is nice. Not sure how to feel about the priest who died. He did beat and abused Atsushi but they were portraying him in a way that would make people feel sympathy. Yes, I understand that he would rather have Atsushi hate him instead of himself for his ability/curse but still. I'm not thoroughly convinced. I'm going to read that part in the manga. |
| ่ญใ- |
| i feel like they portrayed the headmaster in way too of a good light for someone who beat atsushi as a child. i'm not convinced that he was actually a good man who cared for atsushi, he could've found some other way to actually help him other than abusing him. |

An act of love from Kouyou. Wow thanks for the explanation!! That was more or less my guess as well, but I just was suspicious of Kouyou's kindness. (I also forgot of that scene in season 2 when she asked Atsushi to protect Kyouka) It's so great to see her act of love! Now I'm starting to like Kouyou. |

| What a horrible episode. I've noticed really bad/illogical messages here and there but this one takes the cake. "Yeah, you might've been burnt, beaten up, tortured physically and psychologically,abused and abandoned but at least it was done for your own good :D" No, fuck that, what the fuck "People cry if their fathers die"? Dazai, don't give me that bullshit after all that headmaster guy did And fucking Atsushi just rolling with it too ugh, this left a bad taste in my mouth At least Kyoka's part was somehow heartwarming. Snow Demon = best waifu and you can't change my mind |
 |
| I guess this season is to learn more about the characters. |
| Random conclusion of backstories felt a bit weird but Atsuchi crying at the end made me feel a little emotional. |
 |
| Wow, we know how Kyouka’s parents died. Still that scene was a bit stupid, idk, their deaths seems abrupt. Atsushi's backstory was better. That part where Lucy and Atsushi were naked was hilarious lol. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. ๆฅๆฌ |
| u2 are not even dating and u take ur cothes off front of each other, u2 skipped dating part, u2 sure are bold ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ |
| loving this season way more than the 2nd and 1st. glad i gave it another shot. kyouka's flashback was great and i was surprised with the headmasters fate and how atsushi accepted it. |
| In the end, you could say Atsushi's headmaster meant well? |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Didn't like the episode that much. It was way too rushed. They should have told just one back story and not two. The whole story about the orphanage deserved its own episode. |
| That ending was rushed for sure but still I couldn't resist the tears. |
| Lucy was so fun to watch! I am glad Kyouka found the true about her past... |
 |
| Oh, so Lucy likes Atsushi? I'm so happy to see Kouyou neesan and she still cares for Kyouka! At least Kyouka was able to know what happened to her parents. Her parents were really dope tho, too bad they died. I wonder who's that ability holder who's involved in her parents' death. I didn't expect what happened to the headmaster although I feel bad that he got into an accident, he made Atsushi suffered. But what happened to Atsushi made him a stronger person. |

| Lucy demanding his revenge is hilarious, she seems attracted to Atsushi. The clothe drying scene was very funny. Kyoka re-discovered her past (cause maybe she remembers about it), it must be noted that her parents’ death scene was strange, it was like fast and then became serious and they both died like wtf. That last scene and the whole Atsushi’s feeling resolve was tense, even I didn’t know what to feel if that man genuinely wanted to visit Atsushi. Ranpo knew everything from the beginning, that’s why he told him about the flower shop. |
 |
| to be honest, kyouko's backstory doesn't got me, but it is still sad tho. but damn, atushi's backstory really got me. Left me in tears. My favorite episode yet in the series |
 |
| Interesting ending, sad to see that the headmaster couldn't see Atsushi though. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Big revelation for both Kyouka and Atsushi. Knowing Demon snow didn't kill her parents but they themselves killed each other immediately when infected in order to protect their daughter, really changes things drastically. Shitty of the government to put the blame on 'out-of-control' Kyouka. |
 |

| Lmao I knew they will be transported without their clothes on! Backstory of Kyouka's parents was pretty sad tbh... 2nd part of the episode was pretty sad as well. Didn't expect Atsushi's headmaster to die like that, pretty unfortunate... |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |
| So is it time to ship Atsushi with Lucy? lol. Also interesting to learn that it wasn't the Shirayuki that killed her parent back then and that she inherited from her mother before they got killed... also that last part with Atsushi's previous orphanage director that died :S |
