Another case involving a murder and Ranpo takes the investigation. I find it amusing at the outfit he took on because of a "punishment".

Rampo observed that their suspect killed their victim to fake their own death. This episode played out like a script and I love he played out the case like a game and realizing the body double trick. Ranpo is probably the best detective in the show.

Yes, you would definitely expect someone in a stuffed bear costume strolling their way through a prison ... gonna conceal your face at all cost after all ... Oh and, Ranpo-kun solved another impossible crime like if it's friday.

Or did he ? Tune in next week to find out!

I almost forgot the case with that suicidal girl, makes sense why Kunikida's behind the bars. Though now that Ranpo took the case in his hands it won't take long to get through this hurdle as well, or so the case might have been if it wasn't for a certain someone's dreadful ability of erasing evidences.

We know that clown is the culprit behind the authors death and also did erase the evidences back then making Kunikida the prime suspect, so good for Ranpo he'll take the credit for both causes now that it's just a matter of time he reveals everything to him, right beside traveling in his car btw lol.

Good to the see the usual gang in the improvised OP and ED.

We got new OP and ED visuals to fit the present, and they're pretty good. We're starting off with yet another murder mystery, and Ranpo is on the case. However, this time, Mushitaro uses his ability "The Perfect Crime" to try and stop Ranpo from figuring it out, but little does he know, Ranpo's deducing skills are on another level. Hopefully he can free Kunikida from prison eventually. I wonder what was in the red envelope, perhaps something related to the author's book?

Man I love how my boy ranpo be foiling people plots so simply lmao. They think they got shit so figured out and covered their asses and he just comes out of nowhere tearing it all down. Gone from being one of the background characters to top 3 in the series for me with this season. New OP and ED visuals are great too

Lol Ranpo is as goofy and unserious as ever but when you put a case in front of him he puts up MVP numbers. Loved seeing Mushitaro start to lose his shit as Ranpo was explaining his deductions.

We finally got ED visuals plus updated OP visuals and they were both great. This series does NOT miss when it comes to the OPs and EDs. 
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Ranpo trolling a murderer in a car never seems to get old. Hopefully he has learned from his recklessness and has already called in backup.
Was worried at first he wasn't going to have any leads. Thought all was loss and was wishing that Ranpo put his glasses on as soon as he got to the body.
Thankfully, Mushitaro slipped up his so called perfect crime with the envelope.

Top notch visual from the OP while also managing to spoil half the season, but then it wouldn't be a BSD opening otherwise. Shame they didn't have Mushitaro say "Requiescat in Pace" like in the manga when he bashed the guy's head in, but it's fine. It's also nice to see Minoura working with Ranpo again and getting completely exasperated by his antics.

Finally another case for Detective Rampo my favorite seasonal character so far… This time the criminal has a OP power but sure next episode Rampo will use one of his tricks to subdue the opponent. Usually the seasons of Bungo have a nice start with past arcs of the most interesting characters and then my enjoyment going down seeing the not charismatic MC and his predictable actions.. For me is good that the show hasn’t already introduced Atsushi.

It’s amazing to see the new Op and ED visuals, I knew we’d be seeing this BSD tradition again and I’ve been fairly hyped for it.

Perfect crime remover v the perfect detective for all rational crimes, it was going in line for the antagonist party this episode. But that’s probably only just because Rampo-san didn’t come across a situation like this before. I don’t know how much of it was planned but I think he figured he’d hit the nail with the taxi spot idea, criminals need to craft the best escape route too after all. 

It’s nice to see Rampo-Dan’s biggest fan too, lol. 

Can’t wait for the whole breakdown next episode!

Hmm looks like now they finished the origin act they changed the visual to bring in the main cast once more much appreciated. Ah yes, the sewer chase that ended with the girl using the grenade. Thats not something you'll see every day a mascot headbutting someone. I wish i had 20 mil to just carelessly throw around lol. Rampo as ever is damm impressive with his deduction. The perfect crime though was quite the curious ability. Looking forward to seeing how Ramp unravels the mystery and get out of his current predicament.

These episodes are quite fun. A little bit annoying initially during the setup phase due to childish humor but deduction phase is awesome because everything he says makes sense and it's too big of a stretch for the imagination to fill in other holes in the story. There are some plot conveniences like in this episode where he just happens to run into the guy and just happens to force himself into the car while in reality someone would just told him to fuck off and threw him on the ground. All in all, fun series so far.

Damn this episode was amusing, looks like Ranpo has another case to solve, this time someone who allegedly faked their own death. 

I am sure Ranpo has it figured out already since he got in the car with the culprit, this is gonna be interesting, since the culprit is an ability user as well.

Love the new visuals for the OP. 

The episode also included the right amount of flashback imagery to refresh my memory as to what happened last season. 

Laughed out load when Poe yelled 'Karl bit me!'.  What a cutie 🥰

Every episode of this new season hit so hard. The cool ability of the evidence eraser, the pressure when Rampo was talking to the guy in the car. Also the sheer shock in Rampo's face when he could not solve the case.

I felt like they should have had one less Ranpo flashback episode and had a recap episode before this one. I forgot Kunikida was in jail.

It was an okay episode.

ranpo being goofy as ever, strolling through prison and running around the mall in a bear costume without anyone questioning, somehow. also, ticking the police officer at the scene of the crime with a dead body just lying there lmao.

ranpo is only one of two characters i actually like in this show so i won't question it.

Edited for snowflake era: I find it very difficult to understand the correlation to the previous seasons and now a flashback to the very beginning however we still keep jumping from other timelines? i apologize if i hurt your feeling and your insults to my misundererstanding are welcomed.

 This all ties in the bigger storyline. The beauty of the anime is that a lot of bread crumbs are dropped leading to a bigger reveal.

I can't get enough of this anime. It's all about metaphors and similes and deeper meaning behind the context of the story. If you haven't watched Dead Apple I advise you to. If you haven't watched it recently but remember the story from start to finish just watch the last 3 minutes as the song plays in the background. Try to piece the entire story together and you'll come to a couple of conclusions. This has to be the most action packed mystery anime I've ever watched. Should definitely have the Mystery theme added to it. Being objective just so happens to be the strongest skill in this "mystery" anime. The more objective you are the stronger your conclusive evidence will be.

incredible episode as since the beginning the anime finally looks at this incredible character who is Ranpo. With in this episode 4 the return to the present and with a new antagonist is the return of Poe. Funny episode is with a lot of twists, I love it!!!

That new ability is pretty broken to the point where Ranpo can't even figure it out who the murderer is, I guess he'll somehow find new evidences about this case.

Mushitaro being stuck in a car with Ranpo because our boy is just too lazy to walk :D. Ranpo is really the star of this season it seems, not that I mind. the episode was a bit slower though, but it had its fun moments.

It was a bit of a slow start, but it developed into a great episode. I love how this season is focusing more on the side characters and teaching us more about the history of the detective agency. The mysteries and their details are well laid out in every episode and it all has its own way of capturing the viewer and making them curious about the next episode. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I'm getting a bit impatient and look forward to seeing Dazai and the others again, but I'm enjoying this just as much.
