Lol touristy stuff. Quality yo tofu, nice crepe.
Dazai having fun with mad hatter. Interesting how Doppo & Rampo don't want to save tiger kun.
Yep Doppo foreshadowing: Kyouka x Atsushi have shipped. Just need to kick off the extra. Next ep could be awesome.

Pretty good episode.
Dazai being a badass, ninja detective. Chuuya is so cool.
Atushi and Kyouka's bond is going good, until he's abducted. It's cruel that their moment is ruined.
Ranpo should have helped them at the beginning though. He's silly, lelz. It's funny that he just uses his skill at the last part because he only needs a praise from the president.

I like Chuuya's character lol, he compliments Dazai well. They would have been interesting partners. That date scene was awesome they're shipped its official lol. The next episode is amazing. Really didn't like how the show started out. They turned it around though that's for sure.

So we come to know that dracula guy alias akutagawa's been the former senior of dazai. The beginning was quite amusing with dazai and kunikida having some serious dialogues. The mid part seemed a bit slow and was rather boring. However after the date the episode hit the gas pedal when atsushi got attacked and abducted by the port mafia. I wonder what's going to happen to that assassin now. If she'll die either way there's no purpose for her in living anymore I guess. Another point that took me by surprise was the fact that everyone just went in with the abduction and no one would've put effort into rescuing atsushi if it hadn't been for the president.

And I have to say this guy's the most entertaining to watch :D

I love how Naomi initiatively took action to mitigate the situation. Too bad she didn't possess any ability, I would like to see her more. Ranpo was ultra hilarious this time, he decided to help just for the sake of getting praised by the big boss LOL

Kinda feel bad for Kyouka though. She willingly about to surrender herself to the police. Looks like it'll be epic for next episode, need to catch up with the current episodes asap (=゚Д゚=)

I find it weird that Ranpo and Kunikida weren't ready to save Atsushi, and then Kunikida wished him not to get killed....

Cool episode. I feel like the series has finally take a way after Kunikida's arc. I like Kyoka, she is cute and was prepared to pay for her crimes with dignity. Atsushi's wallet lasted more of what I though at first.

Meanwhile, Dazai "reunites" again with his ex-partner of the Port Mafia. I must say I like the guy's design (especially for the hat). Wonder how the battle will end.

Ranpo's motive to help the agency to find Atsushi was hillarious. He just want be noticed by his senpai xD His facial expressions made this even better.

Next episode looks very good.

It made me feel relieved that at least Kyouka knew and understood that she needed to be turned in.
Let’s say I posed this question to you: “Can all human souls be bought with money or not?” Now remember, the keyword here is “all”. The answer is “There are times when you can buy them, and other times, not,” right? The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen. ~Izaya Ohira (Durarara)

The Kyouka x Atsushi "date" was cute, and I was giggling when he kept checking how much money he had left.

Thought it was suspicious that Dazai got caught, but guess he let them do it on purpose??
Also took an immediate liking to Chuuya, I bet him and Dazai made one outlandish team. Honestly, I'm so glad this is 2 cours and not 1!

my honest thoughts:
I didn't care about Kyouka *cough* minor character that look like 10 and talk like 9. didn't care about the force ship that didn't have any build or sense in it, and besically was stupid!
the group that suppose to support Atsushi, was kind of a banch of assholes. but I"m glad the big boss tell them to save him.
poor Atsushi, to be stab in the back! god damn, it mast hurt a lot. at least now the series focues a little more on Atsushi, the main character then a bunch of minor characters.

Didn't know Ranpo was so stingy or by the books, only do it if it's profitable type of guy <:/ really thought he was cool when the episode was his turn to shine during that one police case, but his personality just sucks balls if he's gonna be like this :|

Again (just like in the end of episode 7 with Dazai's ridiculous lecture about justice), I do not quite get how some of the guys in the Arms Detective Agency are wired. The "argument" of Ranpo about not helping rescue Atsushi was absurd and ridiculous at best. The fact that Kunikida agreed with him (directly contradicting his "idealist" persona) made it even worse. Do I even need to explain something so elementary i.e. that a team that does not care about whether its team members live or die cannot function because that would mean that there is no trust and solidarity between them?

Did they really require the freaking President to teach them the basest of common sense and how teams are actually supposed to work? I love this show but I really do not get how some of the characters are written. The worst part is when the characters contradict themselves. Ranpo is super smart so he should be well aware of the "rationale" of helping Atsushi (if the team members do not trust each other, and this would be the outcome of them ditching Atsushi, the team would simply break apart; and that is purely if you look at it from a rational perspective).

Kunikida, in turn, should have disagreed with Ranpo about not helping Atsushi because he is supposed to be an "idealist seeking justice", and ditching your team-mate to his fate is as contrary to justice as it gets. I cannot understand what was the point of that ridiculous "argument" over whether to help Atsushi or not. It felt so arbitrary and off-character for both Ranpo and Kunikida that it might well have been used just to add 2-3 minutes of screentime.. Why can't the characters be a little more cohesive and self-consistent?

Finally, a smart person in the who pointed out the obvious. This show is inconsistent and ridiculous at times. That whole exchange was way ooc of kunikida? Like he was always watching out for him and took him in the agency and now he's kidnapped and obviously going to be killed and you guys are confused if it's necessary? This kunikida guy was so upset when a that bishie woman died whom he met a day but he paused when atsushi was taken to be killed? That was dumb lmao. I don't see the point of that scene when it should've been proactively decided to find him. Ah well I guess writers forget their own characters traits and personality.

Wow, I really enjoyed this episode

I like how we are getting to see the relationship between Atsushi and Kyouka really start to develop, but sadly it was cut short with Akutagawa appearing. I hope that they can see each other again

It was really cool hearing more about Dazai's past, and the fact that he was an executive part of the Port Mafia, maybe Dazai taught Akutagawa a lot of techniques that he knows now.

The only complaint that I have about the episode is the argument including Ranpo and Kunikida, I don't understand why they wouldn't want to save a member of their team

Well at least Kyouka got to have some fun on a date with Atsushi !! The Port Mafia really suck !! Naomi and Tanizaki were worried about Atsushi and wanted so save him immediately !! I love those 2 so much !! Also Naomi went straight to the President and he suspended that current task so everyone can looks for Atsushi !! The President knows that their member is abducted so that's top priority !!

Kyouka is sweet I hope things turn out okay for her.
"My new apprentice is superior to you in every way imaginable." That's gotta hurt, lmaoo. Not true though, Atsushi is a dumbass.
It was stupid for him to be walking around. What did he expect?
The agency boss is a good guy. Looking out for his subordinates. I like Kunikida less now. He cares so much about faceless innocent civilians, but not Atsushi?
Chuuya and Dazai have chaotic sibling energy.

Kyouka and Atsushi's relationship developed quickly, with the dates and blushing just one episode after meeting. Atsushi is lucky to get such a cute girl already caring about him.

The Tanizaki siblings and the president were probably the people in the agency who had the least amount of interaction with Atsushi, yet only they seemed to care about rescuing Atsushi right off the bat. I find that strange, but it is endearing.

One doubt I have is that the "Port Mafia" would be able to operate this brazenly in the open without any repercussions. They regularly slaughter people en masse in public in broad daylight, which would absolutely start to involve military intervention at some point. Japan isn't some backwards Arabic or African hellhole ruled by paramilitary forces, it's a prosperous country. You'd expect operations to clean house of this mafia would be underway by now.
