1-Basically, 8 years ago chuuya used to be a vessel for Arahabaki, it manifests when chuuya goes berserk as that time he fought Lovecraft in season 2.
2-For those who are pleased to see dazai surprised for the 1st time , you're not ready when he gets outsmarted by the villain (Fyodor Dostoïevski) in season 3 (when the present plot returns)

the OP and ED are both very good. Dazai has a really dark personality behind that childish behaviour.

No you're not alone. I'm not wasting my time on this flashback shit. Will see if the 'after flashback' content is any good, if not, dropping.

I didn't think Chuuya would actually be able to figure anything out on his own

So Chuuya is Arahabaki.

Good episode. Can't wait for the next.

Great episode!

I dont know why but i was suspecting of Arahabaki being Chuuya, cause i remembered it from the movie, but even with that suspect i didn't expect him to reveal himself!

Interactions between Dazai and Chuuya are still funny to watch!

Chuya is such a baddass. Love the parts where he shows his ability. I don't mind the flashback tho but since a lot of people kept talking about the present arc will continue after 1 more episode, I'm kind of excited and nervous at the same time


I also like the part where Chuuya let out a long shout before kicking the life of Randou and the Chuuya's revelation is surprising for me.

The episode was interesting, the same atmosphere around the mystery genre. So, it wasn’t clear if Randou was guilty or not, he accepted it while talking with Dazai, maybe he created that dark explosion in the past, but he’s looking for an entity that Chuya supposedly is, and wtf with the old man that Dazai watched while fighting with Chuya. Wtf with Dazai shooting that man.

I've found these two first episodes a bit confusional. I don't know why but it's the same feeling the movie gave me at a certain point.

Chuuya being the place the other man describes actually made a lot of sense. I never would have put it together but once he said it I completely understood.

loved the opening, but the ending even more!
But can someone explain how Chuuya escaped Fyodor? I know it was a flashback, but I thought Fyodor killed him ?

New season with new preposterous "I am too cool for mere bullets to hit me (even when I am targeted by multiple pros with machine guns from just a few feet away) so I do not need to move a muscle to avoid them" scenes with Dazai... :/

So that headphones guy is the one behind the "revival" of the old boss? I still don't understand how Dazai and Chuuya came to that conclusion. What did they mean with the sea. He was able to see the see because the city wasn't destroyed yet? But what does that have to do with him being behind all of this. Also it does make sense how Chuuya is that black flame god. The ones in the "Sheep" said that they took him when he was alone so he probably unwillingly activated that Corruption ability we saw in the Lovecraft fight.

The opening is alright, not that great, I love the first two ops way more. Same for the endings. I'm still waiting for that hype episode.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

I like how Dazai calmly explains how he deducted it was Randou behind the mystery only for Chuuya to barge into the 'party' with his epic entrance. Seeing that end scene, it makes sense Arahabaki is Chuuya considering it resembles his corruption state which he has no control over.

Dazai and Chuuya are really a great pair xD So they thought that Arahabaki was Rando and both deducted it but it turn out that it is Chuuya himself??? WTF?! I felt a bit bad for Chuuya's friends though, at least the hostages got released

That. Was. Badass. I envy Chuuya's savage gravity manipulation! He's becoming one of my fave characters. I love the ADA but I love the Port Mafia episodes way more!
They were both so much more raw at 15. I like how the anime showed their immaturity instead of making them mini adults. Too many anime have teenagers acting like they're 25.
Dazai was way more honest about how sinister he is back then. He's terrifying.
He truly romanticizes death. I just don't understand how he's kept living all this time when that's what he yearns for apparently.

After what we saw in S2 and in the movie, I think it was safe to assume who the Arahabaki actually was. Great action too.

Pretty obvious from the craters and all of his shown fights
The past episodes are better than the current ones honestly especially with dazai and not atsushi as the protagonist
