Tachihara was amazing in this episode. I honestly hate that fucking sword and honestly I kinda wanna see the ending. I can't wait to see how everything is going to evolve; also, I need more Fyodor/Dazai scenes.

True, Fukuchi is waaaay too OP. But there must be a method. Actually the plot is gettig so intensive that i'm nt sure where it is going to right now. xD And yes, we need more Dazai.

I love the build up so far, everything seems really bad but I'm sure they will find a way to go against them and they will probably use Page ability to cancel out the monsterazation by Braham.

I don't know why they're rushing it this hard. There is less than 20 chapters to adapt now, and like 7 episodes left. We're literally catching up to manga

Atsushi wouldn't have been able to escape and the whole plan would've failed.
Akutagawa not killing the guard resulted in him interrupting Fukuchi at the very moment he was about to chase after Atsushi and bought them some time.

Had to lower my score. Why would they spend so much time on ability explanation only cut out the emotional payoff of a beloved character's death?????

I haven’t read the manga, so I promise this isn’t a spoiler I have no idea what ends up happening. But the way I look at it, if they brush off a major character’s death like that, that character most likely isn’t dead or will return somehow. Just my thoughts on it anyway.

It's not about whether he lives or dies in the end (he's still a vampire in the manga as of the latest chapter iirc), it's about my best boy getting to be beautiful on screen and getting to show his growth as a character by smiling for Atsushi in his last moments T__T

And wait... Akutagawa is dead for real?
Tachihara YEAH!
The parts with japanese text on screen are so damn cool
The whole world is f*cked... This contagious ability is genuinely scary.
But it seems like there is still hope? Special ability weapon? So exciting!
I loved this episode. I can't see what will happen from now at all.

This episode has haunted me now

Thanks for explaining. It makes a lot of sense, and I feel dumb that I didn't find it out myself.

yeah, before this episode i thought the sword worked as reversing time and not technically traveling through it. but the moment kamui sends a signal to his past self and the past-kamui 'kills' tachihara in the present, some sort of paradox should be consequence of that. i dunno, maybe i'm talking out of my ass, i'm way too stupid to understand space-time stuff lol i just know i'm very bored whenever and whoever old dude fights

I agree it was great it’s just that it was my favorite panel so far in the manga. I was only a little upset that it didn’t make it in.

Season 4 had its trouble but this season is almost perfect for now, every episode has its purpose, no long ass backstory, full plot and man its really Stray Dogs at its best, don't think i enjoyed this show this much since the prequel arc of season 2, if every episode is like that i'll consider this season as a masterpiece.

Well that was incredibly rushed and equally stupid. The emergence of the vampire outbreak - which we only learned was a thing like two episodes ago - happened way too quickly and glossed over a lot of potential emotional beats to keep the plot moving.

Also, I'm really, really not a fan of making Fukuchi even more absurdly OP by letting him send messages to himself through time. The stronger they make him, the bigger and more bullshit the asspull that's gonna be required to beat him. They're just writing themselves more and more into a corner by making him more and more powerful. On top of that, it's making the fights actively uninteresting for me now: why should I care about any fight involving Fukuchi when I know he's just gonna pull some time-travel bullshit to turn it around at the last second and win anyway?

Nothing matters when you have a bullshit villain like this.

This episode was crazy, Fukichi has so much power over everyone and now he even uses Bram as his counter partner or whatever. RIP Akutagawa for real then? Since he got bitten by a zombie.

The Porto Mafia is also fucked now to say the least. Almost everyone got bitten and turned into a zombie. The Hunting Dogs are also confused or something and ofc blame it on the agency. RIP Tachihara as well? Damn. Stuff is getting more wild. The world is turning into one big zombie land.

The hunting dogs will not be confused for too long. Jouno sensed doubts about Fukuchi after Tachihara handed over the USB and may act on it.

Nooo Akutagawa 😭. In the manga it’s even sadder because he smiles while telling Atsushi to run away and Atsushi is reaching for him.
Bram Stoker is here!!! DRACULA 🧛
Give my man a radio! 😆
RIP Tachihara, he was doing so good but Fukuchi’s ability is just so broken ☹️.
Also nice to see everyone in the Port Mafia, even if it’s not in the best of circumstances 🫤

The stakes just kept getting higher and higher in this episode, continuing from last episode!

This is giving me the same kind of feelings that I got from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which did stakes getting higher really well. It's been a long time since I got that kind of feeling while watching an anime!

Ranpo better come up with a plan, fast! Or the other side is going to end up achieving world domination.

So is Bram turning people into vampires because Fukuchi is making him do so against his will? Like is he using him as a literal weapon? Is that how he's being controlled cuz he was vehemently refusing to turn people into vampires up until Fukuchi brought him to Akutagawa.
