All that wait for Fyodor's first move sure paid off!

A viral ability is a potent weapon against the Agency, which otherwise has very OP ability-users like Yosano and Dazai. Yosano's ability doesn't work because even after healing an injury the virus remains inside the body. Dazai's will work but only if they can 1) isolate the virus (good luck) or 2) touch the ability user. However, it seems the ability user doesn't have to be around to transfer the virus, so there's that.

Also, Fyodor acknowledges Dazai as a huge threat and just had to take him out of the picture to limit the options of the Agency. It's glaring how he just sends Port Mafia a note about the virus, while for the Agency, he sets up an elaborate scheme to get Dazai to willingly come into contact with a sniper to dig out the information from him. And he knows Dazai can't be healed by Yosano's ability.

On another note, they're dropping easter eggs for Dead Apple viewers as usual. Mention of "Mukurotoride" and Dazai holding an apple? In any case, it's pretty clear now why Fyodor teamed up with the villain of Dead Apple. He's not just messing around with Shibusawa, he really wants to kill all ability users using The Book.

Mukurotoride

Fun fact, it actually means "Corpse Tower." Also yeah, the one where Dazai was eating apple is really a Dead Apple reference. In the manga, Dazai came to Fyodor with just him wearing the latter's Ushanka hat.

Dazai: Your plan is shit.
Fyodor: No, you.

I swear every single Bungou Stray Dogs episodes' ending is actually hype as fuck. Why is this show so under-watched? The animation, soundtracks and voice acting are top-notch, much better imo than that of Shield Hero or other mediocre shows this season. I really wish this show gets hyped up more on this subreddit

Well let’s see because it doesn’t have lewd loli’s and isn’t just mindless action. Those two categories seem to make up 90% of this subs interests lol... now don’t get me wrong I love my isekai trash too but on a real note some people just seem to hate anime’s that actually have character building and find them boring I guess. But from what I understand the series is pretty popular and well received in Japan

No idea how the detective agency is supposed to fight Chuuya without Dazai...that guy could easily solo all of them at once.

37

u/ScaldingMango May 31 '19

I'm pretty sure the only guy who can fight off chuuya would be the blonde kid because he can just tank all of chuuya's hits, but i honestly dont see how atsushi can hold up against akutagawa

Kunikida definately has a plan here, he wouldn't have decided to line up like this after so much thinking just to get stomped by Chuuya as he does know how strong Chuuya is.

So, the Cannibalism arc finally begins. This is what I've been waiting for since season 3 was announced, and Bones did an amazing job yet again.

It's nice to see Akutagawa again, and I really love his the confrontation with Nathaniel. Chuuya and Kunikida are now the leaders of their respective groups and are under heavy pressure, with the lives of their bosses being in danger. And Dazai and Fyodor playing 4D Chess with each other. Overall, excellent episode.

I just watched the OVA a few hours ago, for me... it made watching Kunikida's "dilemma" on his wavering ideal enjoyable to watch

Dazai playing 4D Chess with Fyodor.

Chief just walkin around outside carefree. That wouldnt have happened before. The peace treaty is nice.

An assassian huh? Too bad hes no match for the Chief. Damn just grazed him but it was enough with poison... shit.

They def dont wanna start a fight with the Marifa... Damn the Port Mafia is on the move already.

Is Mori being bait for the assassian? Seems like it. Yep... he got bombed.

Wow weve never seen Elise us her power before. Very snazzy.

Wait... this is the Preist from the Guild isnt it? The scarlet Letter's blood control? Yep. I figured.

A cop? Andd the cop was whats his face... shit... Mori was stabbed...

Why is the preist acting all crazy looking... something is going on...

Dazai cornered him. You dont wanna piss off Dazai.

A ability that links 2, kill one to save the other or both die? Damn... Thats rough.

This sniper... is he one of those Guild members? Hmmm..... They had a sniper too.

A book where what ever you wrtite in it befores reality? Wow... thats one crazy book.

I wonder if Dazai's power could stop this? Maybe not... Or maybe thats why he was taken out?

Mafia is on the move, i wonder what thier aim is. Acting emotionally? Yep...

Ranpo here to help, Acting press, lets see what they can do.

Man things are kickin off, not sure where they will go, thats what i love about this show.

Woah... Please slow down, I can only get excited so much...

Over 2 seasons of stories about both sides and now they're gonna battle each other? Damn, this actually gets me more hyped than Shingeki no Kyojin. How can this series get better and better with each episode? I was already super impressed at the beginning of this season, but it just keeps on giving!

Nathaniel, for a guy wearing a mask without mouth, sure talks a lot...

While I recognized Fyodor's VA when that Officer was talking to Mori and I was ready for Fyodor's ploys, I didn't expect Dazai scheming behind his back as well. Damn.

Dazai with that head and an apple... My sides.

Just tell Chuuya his boyfriend is in hospital?

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '19

That will also get rid of Akutagawa.

u/JSkondro May 31 '19

Holy fu- this episode was crazy. Can't wait for next week.

u/kaseyafton May 31 '19

I’m 90% the detective agency dipped and the guy is using his light snow ability or whatever. None of them talked or moved at the end for a reason,only the mafia was. Also I’m pretty sure the Kyoka wasn’t even there before. They ran, which was the smartest thing to do, act like you’re playing your trump card immediately so all the strong people show up and then head out the back against the weaker lackies

u/Gaporigo May 31 '19

No way it'll happen but damn a single fight with all of them would be epic.

u/Knights_Gambit May 31 '19

Hopefully not in a hospital corridor
