The soundtrack was 👌👌👌. This is my favourite frame from the season:

...as someone that practices Kendo myself. I didn't expect anything less from the President, but unfortunately he got done dirty by the plot.


Can anyone remind me the last time that Dazai was caught by surprise?

It's good to see Fukuzawa and Fukuchi's backstory.

But is Fukuzawa really dead ?

whoa, so much going wrong. anyone knows what happened to aya when that car got shredded? she can't be dead..right? plot's really sharpening up, the enemy seems way too strong. but stoked to see how dazai will come save the day. i fear there'll be a major cliffhanger and no real resolution. though that means more bsd in the future hopefully

Every episode is intense but not enough. Knowing the Manga is barely ahead also anxiety. I am both loving it and hating the fact I have to wait a week to find out what happens. I'm going to be as wrecked as the Detective Agency when we get the last episode.

Cmon, it's Dazai, he's gonna make it.
Fukuchi is waaay too OP. But on the other hand I started liking Okura Teruko. She is the survivor type, istn she

PS Yaaay, this is my 101 post! :3

That eerie music around the 13-min mark, which has been played throughout the season, fits so well! Hopefully they release this season's ost.

When/how did Fukuchi get access to those hospital beds that can stop people's hearts? And are we really supposed to believe this is a method he would use or one he needs to use?

And seriously, it can only be said so many times, but fuck Fukuchi as both a character and a main villain. It's just bullshit with him around and his presence actively ruins what has otherwise been an interesting and engaging season. I was so glad he was absent last episode, but of course that wouldn't last long and now he's here to ruin everything all over again and completely take me out of the show in the process.

Also, regarding how Fyodor escaped, that's also bullshit. Because if he and Chuuya bent the walls like that for the water to escape the room, it wouldn't have been able to rise all the way to the top as we were shown. So that was just a cheap cliffhanger to asspull around later, AKA peak bad writing (not least because it relied on Dazai temporarily being dumbed down to not expect Fyodor to have potential countermeasures to his seemingly-perfect plan).

Wow this season's stakes keeps amping up.

  • Oh no, there's no way the killed the 10 year old girl, right? RIGHT???
  • Fukuchi vs. Fukkatsu - that's quite a sad backstory. But whoa boy, what a duel. Wow. That sword is BROKEN. Just Broken!
  • They only have 5 more minutes and it seems like there's no way to win vs. Fukuchi.
  • In the mean time, Tiger Boy wakes up restrained and she tells him the truth.
  • He's stunned into paralyzed mode, unable to make a decision until the voices in his head prompt him into action.
  • Finally, Dazai vs. Fyodor, my how the tables have turned!


This anime has a ton of twists to keep the viewer guessing, the episode felt like it was over in 10 minutes. I can't say this enough, this season has been Fire!!

Quite a cliffhanger ending!
Will Dazai and Sigma make it?
And what about the White Wolf and the others?
We'll find out in a few days..

edit: One minor geeky gripe about heavy water I forgot to add earlier when it was mentioned by Nikolai.
While it is a bit more difficult to swim through, due to being ~10% denser than water, it is actually harder to drown in it, again because it's denser. Objects, incl. people, float easier in denser liquids.
The Dead Sea's super salty water is even denser and it's practically impossible to submerge -or drown- in it. Of course floating is moot if the elevator is fully flooded before they find a way to escape.

Heavy water is also not toxic, unless someone drinks enough to displace the normal water from their tissues. Super heavy water (tritiated water), in contrast, is highly toxic. It is highly radioactive, so a few drops could kill you.

fuck off fuckuchi

nothing justifies this scale destruction

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 imagines were really SOOO amazing, i've never seen water and falling cherry blossoms so beautifully !!!
But i still am still confused because they now just have 4,5 chapters instead of 7 to animate in the next 2 episodes. But i don't mind, he had a pretty fast pacing and hopefully they don't cut any panels this time.

So how did Fyodor know the flood was coming, because I didn't understand the vampire guard explanation.

With a gap that big under the door, doubting it would have filled up as much as it did honestly.
@swordmaster2551 that’s what I thought I still don’t understand how he survived

Interesting to learn that the decay of angels has another goal. I'm really curious about what it could be and why Atsushi would end up hesitating. If it was really that nice then you would think he would've shared it with more people.

I expected that Fyodor would still be alive but I didn't expect him to turn the tables so thoroughly. Although I doubt this will be enough to kill Daizai either.

Teruko is a bit of a brat. Makes me wonder if she'll ever be due for a humbling. Probably not.

Reminds me of Fairy Tail with how many fake deaths there are in this series, lol.

If just dazai doesn't waste time with dancing maybe he can run off from there faster
