Pretty tense episode but I also liked the short window of comedy they threw into this. Classy.

Kyouka and Atsushi took on a risky operation but this was much more about this some drama escape. It feels like they're building something bigger into this from the storytelling this episode. Only 2 more episodes left and hoping that the Armed Detective Agency stay strong and united after all the drama they've been through this season.

Coming down to the wire now. 10 days until the big finale. Always good seeing Mushi again. Nice set up episode for what should be a wild last couple eps.

Dazai's offscreen for the most part this season but man still doing his stuffs with the means only he can utilize. This time having Ango helping Atsushi and Kyouka getting out of clutch, along with Mushitaro.

They do have a maximum of ten days to foil the schemes of five deadly omens, but I guess things will start to happen before the big day anyways.

We now understand how Dazai sends information to Ango, but how does Ango send it to Dazai? More mysteries. So exciting

Also why are Atsushi and Kyoka so confident about defeating the Decay of Angels? Well, just having hope is encouraging too I suppose

I really love the sense of paranoia this arc gives. The Decay of Angels have eyes and ears everywhere, so you never know who to trust as anyone could be one of them or their agents. Ango was being smart not to show his true intentions. He's also a massive bro. Erasing Dazai's criminal record just to give him a normal life and still helping him despite their strained relationship . I'm also glad to see Lucy is back and barely hiding her crush on Atsushi.

So now the clock is ticking. Only ten days left until the Decay of Angels use the page one more time and fulfill their goal. It's seems it will be up to Atsushi and his ragtag group to stop them.

I love the teamwork between all the parties involved, the Bureau, the Agency, and Mushitaro as well, who I thought got shot by Nikolai, but I doubt he died there from the start. A nice set up episode, and the stakes feel all the more real now, with 10 days remaining until the back of that page is written on to erase the nation. Some comedy was present as well, it's always a welcome thing when it's done in moderation.

Nope. Episode 6 showed that Mushitaro was alive but captured. In Episode 8 Atsushi talked about how only one body was found in the car and none of the blood there belonged to Mushitaro. And the entire reason Atsushi even agreed to help Fitzgerald was in order to find him using the Eyes of God.

damn nice episode.

I liked kyouka takin none of mushitaro's bs.



for some reason it was really nice to see fitzgerald back to help



10 more days left till countdown....

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.

The last two episodes were masterpieces while this on was merely solid. Plus this season has to end on a cliffhanger now. I guess the next episode will decide how high this season should be ranked. Especially because we have know idea when the next season of Bungou Stray Dogs will air. Perhaps I raised my hopes too high for this season.

Excellent example of a letter whose contents are all lies lol. What a way to break in though. Kyouka really was the ideal counter to the guys plans of sabotage though. SO sure moved pretty fast this time. The seventh agency sounds pretty nasty. Still having Ango proved to be a useful once more.
 But wow using heart beats to simulate morse code was a pretty creative of Dazai. Nice to see Lucy again. The power of just one page really is scary. It's scary to think what a whole book would be capable off. 10 days to take back the page though gonna be tight.

Another amazing episode. What can't Dazai do he can control his heart beat whats next?
“Wake Up to Reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live the more you will realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. "

That's an interesting way for Dazai to get the message across. Still curious how Fyodor is communicating with the outside. On top of that, there's someone more menacing than him pulling the strings?!

Angou remembering what happened back then T_T.

On another note, looks like Kyouka has met her rival (?). Lucy going on a rampage to defend Atsushi was hilarious.

Don't know how this is all going to end in two more episodes but I'm looking forward to how they turn this around.
Notice: I read most manga in Japanese now so I'm not sure where you can read in English. Sorry in advance.

He doesn't send any info to Dazai, he has no need to know what's going on.

A lot to take in in this episode, but it was nice. 

Oguri got saved by Atsushi & Kyouka, which was incredible to see, but Ango tried to stop them and Oguri thought they escaped but Ango found them but at the last moment he saved them by pushing them down in the sewer or something, apparently Ango was never part of the 7th Agency. Ango was following orders from Dazai through Dazai's heartbeat which was unique to see to say the least. They all fled to an safe place to discuss everything and now they have 10 days before the paper is filled with words and the world gets Annihilated. 

It was intense as always.

Again, this show never fails to hype me the fuck up for the next one. That Odasaku flashback that shows the three of them made my heart ache ngl. Truly shows how they trust each other in this world full of suspicious people.

Im still waiting on what happened to Yosano-san though...

Because 'the book' is above any ability. Ranpo said somewhere (I don't remember which episode) that the book is not an ability but a power far greater than that. Anything written on it is absolute.

happy to see more of Ango, I have always been intrigued to know more of him. a little bit of a yippie knowing that he is on the Agency´s side and a true friend of Dazai, it seems. man deserved it.

Atsushi being a grand example of an optimist :D. boy is not scared of having "only" ten days. only?! pff, so many!

gotta be interesting, I can´t wait

Kyouka 2/2 owned Mushitaro. Lucy's powers just feel like a cheat code. Wonder if the hunting dogs go up against it.

The OP pretty much spoils the climax of the season although that reminds we still haven't seen Akutagawa this season.

Ango was working with Dazai all along, that was a nice reveal. Also yeah that's a very Dazai like plan alright. Finally some hope for the agency, they gotta take that page to prove their innocence. Great to have Lucy chan back, she's sweet.

I wondered how Dazai’s criminal past being erased was linked to Mushi-kun… it was Sakaguchi the whole time. It warms my heart that he still cares so much for Dazai.

I feel like Atsushi is being a bit too optimistic about the whole 10 days thing… they haven’t managed to stop or change anything so far so what makes him think he’ll make an impact within the 10 day limit?!
