Honestly even if for the next arc stakes don't seem that high enough, I think it can still be good? I mean after this one maybe we will get to see a good look on the development of everyone. I mean, a murder mystery? The ADA is a detective agency, and other characters get involved because we'll after this arc I think Japan in general is gonna be on a bit more havoc, especially Yokohoma, or maybe they need help

I don't think it needs very high stakes, it just needs to be interesting. If I'm not wrong it is the last one (<-not sure), so it would be a good way to like wrap it all up, a good murder mystery showing off how everyone grew from the first season, and if it isn't the last one well still. I'll take anything over this arc, please can the characters at least have a 5 minute break for the love of god

In theory, I wholeheartedly agree: I will find a low stakes arc to be just as enjoyable as a high stakes arc, probably more. It's just that it feels a bit counterintuitive: one generally expects arcs to have increasingly high stakes, and for it not to be a crescendo is just a little odd. I think the final arc should have the highest stakes of them all, that's what feels like the natural narrative flow. But right now I don't want to think about bsd ever ending pfffttt.

#I loved the post-guild little chapters and I remember adoring the perfect crime arc when I read it #But here we're not talking about this‚ which would still find a consistent narrative place; we're not talking about filler arcs.#We're talking about how /no arc/‚ not even the ones taking place after filler arcs‚ can get the same high stakes as the current one.#And that may create a narrative problem... But who knows. We'll only be able to judge after it's over.#And that may as well take another decade...#Granted that the current arc is going to be over by then LOL #bsd #people asks me stuff #Accidentally deleting your reply is the worst. I always get the feeling that my first answer was worded a lot better...#I remember I used the words “in theory” “counterintuitive” “crescendo”. Hard to tie them together again...
