Damn, this episode felt like a climatic one of the season with the detective agency trying to literally save the world.

Fukichi finally spilled some of his blood. As one of the more dangerous individuals this season, it does seem he always keeps his guard up. It was also insane to see Akutagawa interrupt that fight in his vampiric state. Just a crazy episode tbh.

I really warmed up to the OP now. Pls listen to the full version.
2:49 ねずみ算式 (nezumi-zanshiki) - lit. "mouse math formula", was translated as "exponentially". Japanese language is crazy.
Bro that safekeeping terminal is so intricate lmao
I wonder if what Ranpo about war is even a bit true or not.
Oh! The girl from the OVA! Watch it if you haven't.
Damn I didn't think Fukuchi will reveal his secret to anyone!
14:11 For some reason they didn't translate the second line.
He says "I took you in in anticipation/while counting on your hearing and (supernatural) abilities."
JOUNO IS ON OUR SIDE LET'S GOOOO
WAIT WHERE IS SHE? WHAT THIS CLIFFHANGER AARGH
The last part radiated some real horror vibes.
There were so much unexpected twists this episode. I counted 4.
Also is this the first time we get ED visuals?

A meeting within a pocket dimension how creative. National militaries staffed by vampires really sounds pretty chilling. Quite the elaborate container to store the special ability though. So One order is essentially a single mind that can connect to others and ensure that they are following the plans laid out by the mind. Perfect for coups actually. Its good to know that there were others within the squad that would turn on their cap once he showed his colours. Too bad that the captain was so damm prepared though. As insurance policies go this one sure was a risky one. While the captain still has all the cards looks like cracks are starting to form within his plans thanks to the agency. Though it would be nice if somehow we can convince the rest of the hunting dogs of the captains crimes and turn them into allies.

oh my god, jouno was actually on the agency's side? fuck fukuchi for real though. i hate his guts. i literally cannot stand him. he's worse than fyodor for me.

aya saving the day though? i really hope so. that's be so cool. i really wonder where she's hiding though. does she maybe have one of poe's stories like ranpo and his there? or in lucy's room? im so curious.

Welcome back to another episode of "Fukuchi wrecks the entire cast.", with this week's victim being Jouno.

Jokes aside, great episode as usual, with Jouno being the highlight. Him staying true to his ideals and taking the Agency's side proves how much of an ally justice he is. That little scene of the woman thanking was quite touching. A shame that Fukuchi prevails once again. Using Akutagawa no less. Thankfully, Jouno is a quick thinker, and has now managed to put a dent in Fukuchi's plan.

On a side note, I do love how this season has brought back several side characters like Aya and Minoura to play a more significant role.

As soon as Jouno attempted to catch Fukuchi off guard i already knew what was coming lol. Still can't over how busted that sword is. Even though Jouno is in a bit of a predicament, Aya of all people (from the OVA 6 years ago) was there hiding, witnessing it all. Now she just needs to get the hell out of there 💀 this is why you make sure your camera's flash is off. That cliffhanger was straight out of a horror movie with the door opening slowly.

That sword is too damn op to be used by a guy like him, I guess he didn't use the sword to go back into past to cut that girl cause he deemed her as trivial matter, good way to make it past that sword time gate.

This BSD season is just incredible man. Just gets better and better every single episode. The twists, the drama and tension, just amazing.

Jouno being a good guy actually shocked me especially after the flashback of him making the robbers off themselves. Thought he was just an evil POS when he knocked over Aya and didn’t apologise.

Fukuichi can’t just keep killing/attacking everyone on his team that disagrees with him though. After all these years, all of a sudden they lose two members back to back. Very suspicious and surely the other two will catch on.

Oh yea. Speaking of Aya, seeing her after 6 years was wild! Her being a pivotal part of the episode and potentially clearing the detective agency’s name is such a cool twist. Not a single wasted character in this story.

But man why the hell would you not check your flash and sound volume before taking that picture 😭 . Luckily Jouno planned all of that out and had potential escape routes designated.

Can’t wait to see how this turns out next week

Is the rest of the season going to consists in Fukuchi finishing off a character after another? It's getting a bit repetitive.

And yet another character fell prey to the usual "I altered the past so even if you almost killed me, that ain't gonna do shit", smh. That ability shouldn't even be allowed man. Anyways, RIP Jouno, but still couldn't care less if you were a good guy in the end lol.

Also wait, this little girl Aya made a comeback after sooooo long just to get on Fukuchi's bad side.. Jouno dude why you let this kid involve in the mess.

Not sure if she'd make it out alive after briefing over how everyone's going down but I pray she would, though these cliffhangers are only going worse... who's even permitting them.

so Akutgawa was bitten, well I am glad to see him back in any form. really thought Jouno is a bad guy for a second, but now how are they even going to defeat him? it seems that even if they persuaded just about anyone to be on their side, Fukuchi would always win.

I didn't like it in the manga, still didn't like it here in the adaptation. It feels like a lazy story device ngl, at least Tachihara's fight had that marking explanation.

I'm glad to see the Agency back together as a whole. They have started their meeting and it seems like Fukichi is planning on World Domination with One Order.

First look at Aya who is there to pick something up from the lost & found and Jouno bumps into her but it seems like he gave her a paper. Well Fukichi said that he is the one and Jouno tried to defeat him and escape but couldn't because Akutagawa was blocking the door. RIP Jouno?, Aya was there all along and heard everything and she takes a photo but forgets to turn off her flash, bruh. I gotta say that Fukichi is so bad at hide & seek lmfao. Aya hides in the casket at the end.

They cut off the short scene with Kenji and Tanizaki's reunion and just replaced with a "Oh, those two are back too." 
Bruh 💀
But they barely covered 4 chapters in the episode, so I'll give it a pass

Itʻs more likely that he both doesnʻt know itʻs her atm, and didnʻt know where in the room she was to cut her from the past if he wanted to (he only saw the flash, not the phone itself).

There was an OVA that aired I believe in between S2 & S3. Her name is Aya, she was a major character in it and got caught up in a case with a bomber, then she was rescued by Kunikida.

I swear the characters in this show have the craziest twists and turns. So Jouno was being a sadistic piece of shit to that girl, but turns out that was an act so he could giver her that note and have a safeguard in case something happen to him. He accepts Kamui´s invite do the Decay of Angels and his delighted to be able to inflict pain on the Agency; but actually no, he is in fact on to Kamui´s plans, he has been on the Agency side since Tachihara gave Kamui the pen, or at least he became unconvinced with the whole Terrorist Agency stuff. Kamui is too OP, to the point that I can´t seem to imagine how he´s going to be defeated (if he even is). These 23 minutes just flew by.

Episode was alright. We're basically just playing cat and mouse with Fukuchi at this point.
I bet she hid in the coffin with Bram
tfw I would figure the Detective Agency would be against killing someone, even a vampire like Bram.
Not a big fan of that "One Order". If it essentially acts like someone else has control of your body, exactly how is that supposed to change the fact that soldiers allegedly just shoot bullets everywhere randomly? its not possible for one man to control the body of an army and not waste bullets.

I don’t know if what I envision triggers the spoiler tag so i’ll just leave this headline on top. But to serve the intended function of a headline I guess I’ll also add that down bellow is a * much needed critique of an unwarranted episode







|| Revelling in the mastermind’s wails as his plans are thwarted by his own trust would have had been a much smoother melody to behold (killing Bram while exposing Fukuchi in the process). It is what Jouno should have had done, it is what the character of Jouno would have had done. From the eyes of the viewer too, I really wanted to see it happen. But too bad— the greatest ass-pull of this season happens. The author probably thinks it was necessary to have Jouno killed as that would serve as bonafide evidence to the hunting dogs but that’s flawed reality and not what the character of Jouno would have had done. Though attempting at Fukuchi’s life, failing, failing to escape and then having himself killed and the girl escape to the outside is a less risky alternative since you really don’t know what Fukuchi intended to do, it was only to serve as a backup. Having Jounou instigate was fundamentally flawed and never something he would have had normally done. Though i’m not critical of Bungou Stray Dogs out of respect for the author, the events of this episode were especially abnormal and my dissatisfaction won’t be assuaged unless I get an answer of some kind. ||

I expected that Jouno would be suspicious by this point, but I expected better of him than to involve a single girl as his aide. I have the same problem with Tachihara's suicide mission. In an era of electric cars and smartphones nobody facing world-threatening conspiracies thinks to set off a recorder/transmitter?

My second issue with Fukuchi is that he didn't pretend to join in with Fukuchi only to betray him later. There's overconfidence and then there's thinking you can face off Earth's mightiest hero.

I think that this is the gradual buildup to his own downfall. In the end he will be alone while facing the joint effort of the Agency (and maybe the consequences of betraying those close to him). The purpose of Atsushi and Akutagawa's failure to stop Fukuchi on the ship was probably to show us that this arc won't be solved simply by a clash of power, in contrast to what happened with the Guild.

Fukichi-san making blunders after blunders now, but might just have tilted the balance to favour the Agency. 

Something tells me that the vampires will retain their humanity once Bram is taken care of eventually, I doubt this is the point where Akutagawa will sign off.

I paused the episode and rewatched the Hitori Ayumu OVA once I realized that despite recognizing Aya, I couldn't remember what that story was about at all. I feel like it made me care about her a little more so I'm glad I did it.
