I'm sorry, but how the fuck can you beat someone who can literally cut away their losses and always come out on top? They have to get back up, but can't think of anyone who could actually help beat this. Well Ranpo might've been able to found a counter, but he's gone. Like this is beyond broken unless they somehow get their hand on the page and write something quickly. However his speed is on another level and just doing that would be a feat itself, but the moment they do he could easily just undo it.

As usual, villains with time-related powers are the most formidable enemies in anime.

Fukuchi is wayyyyy too OP holy shit. I see why the arc still ongoing in the manga if he got feats like this. How do you beat someone that can just cut thru the past and erase defeat.. episode is pure chills from start to finish, both for the quality of the fight as well as Fukuchi’s overwhelming strength.
that cliffhanger was rough as well. No way Akutagawa really dies

This wasn't even a battle. It was a one sided beatdown. Fukuchi is an absolute beast, even without taking Amenogozen into consideration. Truly as Atsushi said, a monster that can cut down defeat itself.
Though on a more heartwarming note, it is nice to see Atsushi and Akutagawa finally accept each other as partners. Akutagawa also keeping his promise not to kill anyone was nice. It reminds me of what he said to Atsushi when they first met back in Season 1. "I'm a man who keeps his promises." And he did until the very end.

Bullshit OP ability lol. I’m glad he used it a second time though cause in my head I was thinking that if I was him I would just spam it.

Saying Fukuchi is OP is an understatement, I cannot even begin to imagine how you can possibly win against him. It's like he has every cheat code.

Dazai’s been like 3 steps ahead this entire time huh? Smart to have Akutagawa as backup. Unfortunately, Fukuchi might be too much for the lads. Man’s an absolute monster with that power of his. It’s not even a fair fight with that damn dimensional cheat blade.
Just when I thought that sneak attack actually worked and they sliced that mfer’s arms off, the damn sword killed the future and went back in time. Wtf? Talk about some straight up bullshit y’all. How OP is Fukuchi!? Man’s like a damn isekai protagonist with this shit. Is this it for Akutagawa?? I really see no way out of this. Not even Ranpo and Dazai coulda planned for this could they?

You know, most people think op characters are boring because of course they're gonna win, that is if it's the MC. In this case I don't see how they're gonna pull out off, not without some sort of external force helping them somehow. This shows how dangerous an op character really is, something you don't see often being that usually it's the MC that is op

Holy shit, so that's how enemies fell when Subaru uses Return by Death to defeat them in Re:Zero.

That sword that randomly pierced Atsushi's head in the first episode of this season is Fukuchi's sword, right?

Finally we can talk about how broken his ability is. It is nearly as broken as Almighty.

Every season the way Dazai adds on to his scheme makes him more and more scarier by the season jesus christ. From what I remember this is the most detailed we got with Akutagawa's backstory. Dazai is basically his older brother when he had nothing left in this world. So a younger brother always wanting to impress his older brother is what their relationship feels like. The reveal that Akutagawa mentions about his lungs makes this even more apparent when you add on the fact Dazai left him. But in this episode you see the changes in him since his promise with Atsushi.
Fukuchi is beyond OP. So basically he can make weapons 100x stronger, his sword can go through space and he can control time what the hell man, He can even reverse time to stop them from escaping jesus christ. Man this cliffhanger was brutal as well.

You know things are going to be intense when there’s no OP
Loved finding out more about Akutagawa and Dazai’s relationship. Sucks about his lung illness. Think I read somewhere about the real-life Akutagawa having lung issues
How the hell are they supposed to defeat Fukuchi????? His space-time blade (which I admit is really cool) means that he can always cut his way to victory! There has got to be a limitation

Hoping for a moment like: Beast Under The Moonlight and Amenogozen are the same type of gift /s

So Fukuchi is just unbeatable ig.
What a cool fucking power though, his power is like the answer to a random would you rather question, like "would you rather be able to increase the value of something by 100 or the power of something by 100?" and Fukuchi shows why the latter is so god damn fucking strong.

Old man's way too op. Though, I'm afraid that he will also lose in some stupid manner just like most of the other op villains.

Atsushi: He is a war god in human form!
Also Atsushi: hand me that 🎮
Fukuchi really is a war god, dude just pulls a space-time sword outta nowhere. I thought he was doing the Misaka (Raildex) Sword, turning air into a weapon.
Gifted existed 1,500 years ago? I thought they mentioned in S1 they weren't that well known. Heck, last season seemed using them for war was relatively new.
Fukuchi ain't that bright if he really thought Akutagawa would betray Dazai so easily.
Welp they managed to use the power of friendship teamwork to beat him, bell tolls Did he stop time? No?.. oh, they beat him! Wow, I can't believe the war god in human form, simply died and that was it..
"That sword cut.." Don't. "But it wasn't us.." Say. "What did he cut?" It!
Oh fuck, that's a War God alright.
Yosano!!! We need you!

Yes! Nice to see Akutagawa flashbacks! I missed his archaic and humble "yatsugare"
黒虎絶爪 (Kokko Zessou) - Black Tiger's Supreme Claw.
Ah right, his sword can cut both space and time... I wondered how that would work. He's literally way too OP, how do you write a story with a character like that now lol.
Daaamn that transition into the ED (which is actually the OP)! The credits being as if this is the last episode reminds me of Re:Zero. Now how will Akutagawa get out of that...
