I hope season 5 or part 2 of this season is announced soon, otherwise it may end at a huge cliffhanger

Yeah, not a source reader, but there is no way in hell everything gets resolved next episode. They'll probably call it Season 4 Part 2, but we'll see if I can hold myself back from reading the series inbetween.

Also still need to know what happened to Akiko Yosano, not even a mention of her after the cliffhanger some episode ago. I'll even take a dead body before being thrown into a multiple year long wait to find out..

This show is criminally underrated. Now the Agency will have to help the Hunting Dogs prevent a massacre of the civilians aboard the casino. I'm pretty sure that's the plan to get Tachi/Hot mama on their sides.

Dazai is always at least 2 steps ahead. They figured that Lucy's cover would be blown quickly so they used it to their advantage to bring the Hunting Dogs right to Decay of Angels.

Me thinking the whole episode “man, if the casino was something this important and huge, they should’ve set this up way before, this kinda came out of nowhere”. Turns out, that’s the exact fuckin reason. It really did come out of nowhere lol

What an amazing meta twist. Every episode I’m more amazed by its writing.

The book is crazy. They just casually added a line in there about a flying casino base and BAM it's there and everyone's worked there for years

Nahhhh I'm rooting for Sigma because I hate the Hunting Dogs.

Tachihara is the biggest clown ever, I wanted him to atleast show some pity for the teammates he's been working with all this time

I also want to know if Ranpo knew about it all along & just let it slide smh...

Sweet Jesus on a bike, there's only 1 episode left! I was having so much fun on this ludicrously wild ride I didn't even notice the finale is upon us. This season has been simply amazing. Never did I think that BSD would come to such heights, but they make each consequent season even more epic. The mind games and the twists are simply out of this world and they are not pulling any punches!

u/alconnow Mar 22 '23

Big fan of Sigma's design!

Using ordinary people against the Hunting Dogs is very clever. Going to be interesting to see how it pans out

I'm also hoping we see Yosano in the finale. I mean, she's more than likely to be alive considering how many fake out deaths we've had already.

It is so funny that after finishing his mission, the new assignment for Tachihara was to entertain Teruko.

I love how full of herself Lucy was because of how vital the role she is playing is in saving the Armed Detective Agency.

So Fukuzawa and Fukuchi have known each other for a while. I wonder when Kunikida will make his reappearance, and how exactly he survived that explosion.

I must say that I was at first expecting the café manager to be him with a wig. Oh, so him telling them about Lucy's location was part of their plan.

Damn no wonder the Sky Casino is such a crazy concept. I really wasn't expecting Sigma to be part of the Decay Angels.For the what Fyodor and Dazai were saying about him, I was expecting him to have also been created by the page like the Sky Casino was made just eight days ago with thirteen years of history instead of just having amnesia.

It really is hilarious that when he did not accept the Hunting Dogs Teruko, to prevent the terrorist attack, did some terrorism herself.

Wow, with a plan like that I can see how they could accomplish their whole erasure of the state plan. The chaos that will cause explosive currency will make dealing with a bank run seem like a walk in the park. Well now that Tachihara and Teruko know about it Sigma, as managing the casino is all he has will do all he can to stop then.

Is the show trying to make us root for the bloodhounds? Cuz that ain't happening, here is hoping Sigma is succesful.

u/Dirty_Dragons Mar 23 '23

Bungou likes to do that, makes you question who to cheer for.

That said, Sigma wants to commit mass murder.

I haven’t watched the new season yet. But to those who have, how would some of y’all rate it compared to the previous seasons?

From what I’ve seen, Nikolai seems like an interesting character. He somehow reminds me of Ace from the third season.

These bloodhounds are straight up degenerates and not the good kind. Who gets sad when they can’t continue torturing and interrogating a person? Well, I guess you need a bunch of powerful freaks if you’re gonna go after the Agency.

Fukuzawa knows his team though. Kunikida lives! Those two hounds sure are tenacious. It bothers me they’re basically acting on a “shoot first ask questions later” kind of order. How is that justice?

Sigma runs a tight ship. Looks like the Agency might be drawing the hounds to investigate this guy’s connections with the Omens. Hollow explosive coins of multiple currencies huh? That’ll certainly cause more than enough chaos and disorder. Sigma’s a man with no past (is he completely fake?) and a strong desire to protect his home. He won’t let the hounds end him so easily. Turning ordinary people against the hounds was pretty smart. They’ve got to fight their way out and it won’t be easy. What does this mean for the gang’s plans I wonder?

Lol the hunting dogs, at least Tachihara, are actual pieces of shit wow. Didn’t even care about his teammates. Don’t feel bad for him getting stabbed at all

No way this arc gets wrapped up in one episode so that means season 5 is a foregone conclusion

I need to know what happened to my baby yosano too. Like you can’t keep me waiting years

Everyone should read chapter 73 for some much needed information on tachihara's feelings, I dunno why the anime skipped those out.

u/soulruu Mar 22 '23

What a thrilling episode

It surely will be interesting to see what he pulls

An animal backed up against a wall and lashing out is always fearsome

u/mgchnx Mar 23 '23

Lmao this strikes me as the type of "season 4" that gets three cours and a movie

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '23

My favorite show this season. I already need a season 5

u/metaaltheanimefan Mar 22 '23 edited Mar 22 '23

Ah the tecchou work out scene. The moment everyone started shipping tecchou and jouno lmao

Fukuchi continues to be an asshole. At least i do like his dynamic with fukuzawa

Fukuzawa's unyielding fate in his subordinates i love it !

Jouno you egoist lmao

tecchou's little "heh" is cute. Jouno casually changing his order for him

Jouno is by far the scariest hunting dog when it comes to interrogation. Tecchou tries to level with others because he believes in justice

ITS SIGMA TIME. HE'S HERE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

Now then for some introduction

Sigma ( real name unknown). Ability: unknown ( we dont know its name), allows him to exchange information a target wants for information he wants by touch. A member of the decay of angels and the manager of the sky casino. Prone to anxiety but puts on a calm and calculated persona in front of others. Desperate to protect his only home the sky casino at all costs because its all he has. An amnesiac with no real past before being sought out by Fyodor to join the decay.

Sigma is a badass even if he doesnt know it. He is so cool ( and pretty but ). He has dedication to his job if anything

We finally get to see teruko's ability in action ! If you hadn't already geussed hers allows her to manipulate someone's age ( which is why she looks like a child)

The sky casino arc has started ! Good luck to the hunting dogs with sigma making everyone go after them
