#bsd episode 60

[thepiratearcinhamlet]

As someone who didn't want Bones to animate unreleased content, I recant, I repent, I apologize to everyone who heard me complain.

EPISODE ELEVEN WAS pretty much EVERYTHING I'VE WANTED FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!

Highlights:

Dazai's funky little giggles. This man is so SKRUNKLY even while he has a broken ass and a broken leg and who knows how many other injuries. I love him <33 (I bet his funky little cast thing was made by Chuuya. Now I need Dazai with a cane.)

CHUUYA WAS NEVER A VAMPIRE? This just went from tragic to HYSTERICAL. You're telling me this little guy who isn't as good at lying as other characters managed to lie to FYODOR OF ALL PEOPLE and put on the best acting job of the CENTURY, all the while wearing cosplayer contacts and fake vampire teeth, superglued by Mori??

Nikolai's conflicted and gay little monologue whilenhllding Fyodor's severed hand. Need I say more.

BRAM! HAS! A BODY! AND HE IS AYA'S KNIGHT?! LET'S FRICKING GOOOOOOOOO (Now I need him to forcibly adopt her and take her away from her pathetic excuse of a father <33)

TERUKO GOT TO KILL FUKUCHI!!! My friend freaking called this a long time ago and it was So. Incredibly. Satisfying. Just yes.

Fukuzawa's tortured screams. Fukuzawa not being subjected to the "old man mentor must die" troupe. Fukuzawa slowly dying inside as he listens to Fukuchi's fricked up plan. Fukuzawa unable to kill him. Fukuzawa needs SEVERAL HUGS-

KUNIKIDAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!! (that is all <33)

Also who knows what the frick is happening in the last 50 seconds of the anime, but Akutagawa in his Detective coat from the BSD Mayoi game, a neck scarf, and a knight?? helmet?? is honestly such a slay, I ain't even mad.

TINY CLIP OF TECCHOU AND KENJI!! THE NEW BESTIES!!!

Bravo. I'm content. Now I can finally enjoy this arc in peace, knowing they ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER (except for the OP villains. Goodbye, and good riddance. RIP to the Fyolai fans.)

[bluemooniegif]

genuinely how the fuck am I meant to go about my life until I know for sure whether or not Dazai survived? I'd rather know he's dead tbh it's the potential for him to be alive that's destroying me

[themockingbirdoverlord]

I have a couple of theories as to what might happen in episode 11 of bsd

The world is going to end. In the anime at least. It sounds crazy but what if that was asagiri planned this? We know he works with bones studio so maybe he wanted two create two different universes, kind of like the beast au, with the anime and the manga. If that's the case I think that in the anime the world ends, but in the manga something else happens and the Ada or whoever would save the day. Doing this would put emphasis on the book and how it can create different universes, or just the weird multiverse thing in general that we see in the beast au. This would also explain why bones was so quick to churn out season five, so that it could actually catch up with the manga so that they could pull this twist. It would be sad if that did actually happen though because I genuinely love this show and never want the anime or manga to end. I might just be crazy but I think this would be interesting if this did happen though.

I've seen theories that Verlaine is gonna show up or something, which doesn't sound too far fetched. I haven't actually read stormbringer, so I don't actually know how long stormbringer is, but brining in Verlaine would be a good segue into the next season or movie. I imagine that bones would take time to animate stormnbringer while giving time for more chapters of the manga to come out in this case.

Whatever is going to happen in the next chapter happens and we just wait a couple of years for a new season of the main story.

We get a flashback or something. Like a more fleshed out version of sigmas backstory or something similar.

[daydreamalley]

bsd season 5 ep10 rambling

Episode 10 was so amazing! Like, even just the music, the whispering chants when Fyodor was trying to manipulate Sigma, the way all the music kicks in when Sigma touches Fyodor and One Order is activated, how it builds but then breaks into silence when Dazai gets “shot” in the head for the lead into the finale. Then much more ominous, war-drum music starts to play at the very end.

This episode was also just so brutal. Hearing Fyodor’s screams as he pretends to have a mental breakdown and then how young he looked, Atsushi’s screams as he has is limbs torn off, how quickly Fyodor just kicks Sigma in the fucking face, how abruptly Chuuya shoots Dazai in the shoulder, like with no hesitation, no sigh from Dazai like in the manga, and how pained Dazai sounded, like the way his voice almost broke on the pain when he yelled at Chuuya for shooting him in the shoulder.

Also Sigma bringing a gun to a knife fight and still losing against Fyodor is never not gonna be funny to me. But they did such a good job with all the Sigma and Fyodor stuff in my opinion, and I was really worried about that cuz like this is important stuff.

Don’t know how I feel about some of the changes to Dazai’s lines and lack of lines

Nearly had a heart attack when they started to include 110. But the way Aya’s father has made her feel like such a failure, but Bram has been trying to console her and make it clear that it isn’t her fault that this is happening or that it isn’t working out, it’s simply the way things are sometimes, is so good.

Also maybe stupid but I don’t really think that was Chuuya shooting Dazai several more times. It almost looked to me like a glitch in Fyodor’s feed of Dazai body. No more holes in the wall or seemingly Dazai show up. I think it was just a dramatic echo. It wouldn’t make any sense for Chuuya to shoot him more. Weren’t his orders. And Dazai only twitches twice for the 5 gunshots heard.

Kinda worried about what the next chapter releases will look like. Like, one episode this season on average has adapted about 3 chapters I feel like, and ep10 did 4, so if we have a completely anime only ep next week that the manga has to then adapt, I’m worried it’ll be a couple months/couple chapters until we get to new content. Honestly don’t know how any of this will work, so that’s fun. Totally not losing my mind.

[imtired4570]

ISTG AFTER THAT FUCKING EPISODE OF BSD BONES IS PROBABLY GOING TO MAKE UP SOME BITCHASS ENDING. THE WAY THEY ANIMATED IT THROWS AWAY ALL MY THEORIES AND IS JUST SO MUCH DIFERENT FROM THE MANGA?? WHERE DID THOSE EXTRA SHOTS COME FROM??? WHERE DID DAZAI'S DEATH SPEECH GO?? BRO IS OBVIOUSLY FUCKING DEAD NOW LIKE WTF THE ONLY THEORY THAT I HAVE THAT REMAINS IS THAT AYA WILL FIND OUT SHE HAS AN ABILITY, SHE TAKES ATUSHI'S PLACE, AND ATSUSHI TAKES DAZAI'S PLACE, AND DAZAI TAKES ODA'S PLACE BUT IT'S SO STUPID AND LIKE I PULLED IT OUT OF MY ASS CUZ I WAS BOOORRREEEDDD

[velvetxkissesx]

definitely don’t think of chuuya coming back to, and seeing Dazai there and without hesitating using his ability again and bringing that entire building down on top of them and that little rat who caused this 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I. Am. Not. Okay.

I am unwell

I hate anime. This shit AND Shibuya???? What if I wanted to be happy????

[kunikiiida-kuuun]

BSD Anime vs. Manga

S4 Episode 7 & Chapters 59-61

This is mostly going to be a compilation of the ADA moments, focused on Kunikida in particular, since Bones seems to freely pluck out parts from his characterization that takes away a lot from his personal arc. They have done it before, but in this arc, where each detail sensitive to his entire arc, I find it is quite a shame they were excluded.

Here are some moments that didn't make it to the anime, or simply didn't translate well into the episode because of a number of reasons.

A short disclaimer: I've never written any kind of analysis posts or even theories so I'd say this is more of my personal thoughts rather than a very objective comparison, since I hold Kunikida and the ADA very close to my heart. Buckle up for a really long post because oh boy, I have a lot of thoughts.

1. First signs of despair

(BSD Chapter 59)

Quite contrary to how Kunikida is perceived as emotionless, among all the characters in the room, we get a close up into his mind and thoughts first. They have been just declared as national criminals, and Ranpo, the most vital pillar of their agency was just shot and presumably out of commission. The all-knowing Ranpo who has gotten them out of trouble numerous times has been cut off. They sit there in shock as the realisation sinks in. They have no way out. Kunikida looks at his notebook, pondering out loud, "Is this where...my ideals come to an end?"

2. Kunikida retaliates back

(BSD Chapter 59)

This is one of the sides of Kunikida we may rarely get to see. While he is a character with a strong moral compass compared to the other BSD characters, there are moments when he prioritizes to protect himself and would go to any lengths to to prevent harm to his comrades, sometimes at the cost of his own well being. He wouldn't kill anyone, but should the circumstances call for it, he wouldn't hesitate to remove that obstacle. This is similar to how he shoots a little kid who was firing at him and Atsushi in the cannibalism arc. However the circumstances are entirely different in both scenarios. At that time, his inner conflict was more evident, since the children had been lied to, and instructed to shoot and didn't know any better. He had to protect himself and Atsushi. Over here, he is more or less wrongly being accused, which would explain his actions.

Before this, there's also a gentle look that passes over his eyes, as he reminisces about working along with them, and the fact that they see him as an enemy now.

I do however, appreciate that in the anime, his voice is softer, and not rude or mean to the soldiers they just defeated.

3. Remorse

(BSD Chapter 60)

Just as they are able to escape and catch their breaths, Kunikida is immediately filled with remorse for his actions. There is the special emphasis on the "light in the eyes" that Kunikida refers to, something which is very important to a character in Harukawa sensei's art style. He struck down a person, who was someone just like him, someone who was simply holding up his own ideals for the "good" of the nation, something Kunikida himself resonates with. He questions the justness of his own actions, and is in an inner dilemma about everything he stands for. Despite his "tough" exterior, Kunikida is inherently a person who is deeply vulnerable. He puts up his walls, but these walls even seem to break too easily, caused by his own self doubt.

This internal conflict is completely missing in the anime, and while it may seem inconsequential to the overall plot, it takes away a lot of impact that comes ahead. There is a lack of a dramatic pause that this scene gives, as the horror sinks in not just for us, but our characters as well.

4. Ray of hope

(BSD Chapter 60)

Before everyone, especially Kunikida sinks into complete despair, Kenji speaks up, starting on a completely unrelated and seemingly pointless note. He offers everyone some rice balls, surprising everyone.

(BSD Chapter 60)

Kenji is just such a precious boy. Kenji's logic is eating = happiness so by offering the rice balls, he's literally saying "please don't feel dejected!! I want you all to stay healthy and be happy!!"

Kunikida tries to reason, initially feeling that Kenji was making light of the situation. But Kenji is clearly having none of it and stops him immediately. We unfortunately missed this absolutely hilarious scene of Kenji shutting up Kunikida by shoving a rice ball into his mouth LMAO.

In hindsight, as I rewatch the anime, Kenji's speech is a nice optimistic boost in very Kenji fashion, but it comes across as a touch too happy go lucky in the anime and you can't deny how much more impactful it is when instead of just a random speech, he's purposefully uplifting everyone's spirits.

He isn't just being optimistic and is aware of the grim situation. He understands that he would need to use his ability for the obstacles they may face ahead and forgoes eating the rice balls (as Kenji cannot use his skill if his stomach is full). That's when even Kunikida realises that he is being serious. He understands how everyone feels, and reassures them, essentially saying that the agency will get through, rebuild, and continue on their path no matter how many difficulties come their way.

I have to say, this moment here is even more touching with his backstory that was recently revealed a few chapters ago. Kenji actually comes across as very mature for his age with his outlook on life and his kind and humble nature.

There is an immediate change in Kunikida's demeanor after this. He acknowledges Kenji's words and bites into the rice ball, accepting his 'unique' way of encouraging them with gratitude. And hereforth emerges the leader within Kunikida. I'm working on another post related to Kunikida and his role as the future ADA leader, but Kunikida is truly a people's leader. He spurs into action when he has the trust and support of his comrades and is the most confident when backed and reassured by the ones near him.

Unfortunately I find that this moment completely fell flat in the anime. They included Tanizaki's line about being criminals and it's in response to that that Kenji gives his speech which isn't bad per se....but doesn't give the same impact as the manga. They added some sparkles ✨ as he was speaking which made it a tad bit animated whereas in the manga it seems like the sun is shining on him...which makes me wonder how the anime would've looked if they actually showed a progression of time instead of just sticking to twilight hues...

5. Just your friendly neighborhood terrorist gang...

(BSD manga chapter 61)

And here is the most iconic and probably the greatest scene of all times, which was only partly animated. I'll let this one slide, but imagine how much funnier it would have been if they did include the first part. The fact that they are being pursued right now as the most wanted criminals, and how every second is extremely precious to them if they want to escape safely, and yet, Kunikida would steal someone's vehicle only after confirming they have an insurance for it (and letting them go if they don't).

Even him choosing to take a private vehicle rather than public transport to avoid jeopardizing other's lives...Kunikida is just so good. I love him so much you don't understand 🥹💕

6. Comprehensive personality analysis by Jouno Saigiku (Kunikida edition)

Okay sorry this is just me being salty but like....did they seriously give us an extended fish eye cut for this entire scene??!! I was so shocked I couldn't even focus on the weight and symbolism of the dialogue. I get the fish eye potential of this scene but like why....just why.

It's such a pivotal revelation about Kunikida, not just to us, the audience, but even to Kunikida himself, his deepest and innermost thoughts and fears laid out in the open like that. Jouno tears him down effectively, making him question himself and his ideals.

This part makes me crazy emotional in the manga, because the whole thing about Kunikida's ideals is that it actually weighs so heavily on him that he doesn't really realise that he is crumbling under the pressure of it. Deep inside, he is aware about the futility of pursuing them, as seen from how he admits it himself in Chapter 40 to Katsura, but instead of letting go, he keeps pushing himself. His ideals are not for others to follow, but something he demands of himself, in order to create a better world. And if the people whom he wants to protect are taken away, his ideals would come to an end, hence he'll be "free" from the heavy burden of his ideals.

Reducing all of this into a mere fish eye moment....bones I will remember this 😭😤

However, I do appreciate that they added a scene of Kunikida shielding Yosano from Tecchou, a nice parallel to when Yosano takes a bullet for Kunikida. It was just very heart warming to see all of them protect each other. There's also a small panel that was not animated, one where Jouno kicks Kenji out of the moving car and asks Kunikida and the others to go ahead, and there's a look of uncertainty and despair that passes on Kunikida's face, another instance of his internal conflict not included.

(also what is with all of Kunikida's enemies reading up on him and studying him?? Like I'm no different from these guys tbh I get it, I'm obsessed with him too but back off will ya...🙄)

I'm only considering this fan-made video by cocoa as the true anime scene because wth were they thinking 😭

Additional thoughts Episode 8

Kunikida's final answer

I would recommend going and reading the full manga for better reading experience, but in case you're feeling too lazy, I included the screenshots. I'm mostly satisfied with how this part was animated, but here are some of my thoughts about it anyways. Looking back to this chapter in the manga, it's definitely much more dramatic than its counterpart.

There's a panel where they just show him with his back hunched all alone as he ponders over what Jouno said which is really neat. The look of horror that passes over his face as he sees Kenji being stabbed is much more dramatic. In the anime, Kenji being stabbed was even more horrifying, and obviously more realistic of a reaction than him just going "huh?" as if it was nothing much.

There's even a panel of Kunikida gritting his teeth, until he realises what he needs to do. I loved the way he swung off the helicopter in the anime, it kinda lives rent free in my brain ngl. When Kunikida jumps off and kicks Tecchou, there's a close up of his face, full of determination and light in his eyes... it's just so beautiful because he's no longer hindered by self doubt. This light in his eyes remains the brightest in all the three panels.

While originally I was under the impression that this would be a very sad scene, the anime and the choice of music made it seem more of a heroic moment instead, which the more I think about, the more I feel was a good choice. After a series of unfortunate events and near death situations, Kunikida is faced with the choice to either give up or save everyone. His choice to sacrifice himself was one stemming from his role as a leader and also, most importantly to protect anyone else from getting hurt. This is also his firm answer back to Jouno's words, that he would continue striving for his ideals, even when sacrificing his own life.

And also, spoilers alert: he doesn't exactly die, so I think it was alright if they didn't make it too dramatic or melancholic. Still made me cry buckets nevertheless lol.

I'm not very good at character analyses so I would recommend reading this one over here. It's one of the best character breakdown I've ever seen for Kunikida and they have covered this part of the manga as well!

Of course, another amazing explanation of this scene is by Asagiri-sensei themselves, which you can find here.

Yet another deleted scene...

Kyouka decides to go save Atsushi

(BSD Chapter 63)

If you're curious about when Kyouka decided to go and save Atsushi instead and how they concealed themselves so well in that hole, here's an extended explanation in a flashback that was skipped in the anime. It's no surprise this was deleted, and I was pretty much expecting it as it's not that important of a detail. The most significant part of this scene of course would be the sheer determination in Kyouka's eyes to save Atsushi. I think it is a neat parallel to Atsushi back in s1 who insisted on saving Kyouka, even after Kunikida told him not to. In both instances, Kunikida tries to protest, but eventually relents and acknowledges their will and determination, lending them his aid. The anime also kinda missed giving us a cool render of that page in which Kyouka stands heroically before the military when she comes to save Atsushi (unfortunately I'm unable to add the image because of Tumblr's ten image limit...sigh).

Final thoughts

I've said this before, but I understand that anime has time constraints and other production matters that I'm unaware about, but the number of details that were removed while not surprising, was surely disappointing. My major problem was mostly with episode 7 with how rushed it was. By removing the build up, there's a certain lack of emotional depth in a number of scenes. There are many who did not find the episodes fast paced and rather consider it quite alright considering the theme of the arc, which is totally valid. However it's natural for manga readers to go into the anime with preconceived ideas about how they think the scene will go down. I'm personally just a little sad because firstly, Kunikida is my favourite character and secondly, I think he's one of the best written characters in all of BSD. He is one of the core characters in BSD, so I'm obviously disappointed that many of his parts just get removed since he's not one of the greater "fan favourites".

Of course, I have to give the anime credit where it's due. The animation is amazing this season and the voice acting is simply phenomenal. The OST is also pretty good and I desperately want that track they played for the hunting dogs introduction. They've truly given their heart and soul for this season, and I couldn't be happier as a BSD fan!! I'm super excited for the upcoming episodes!

Welp that's all from me! Thank you for coming to my ted talk! This was initially going to be just a simple compilation, until I started talking and couldn't shut up. I'm really grateful for anyone who reads this. Thank you very much!! If you've come this far, please do drop a comment because I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

Lastly, please go read the manga if you haven't already! Who knows, maybe you'll find some other missing detail of your favourite character!

[kyouka-supremacy]

(sorry if this is a double ask I couldn't tell if my first one went through)

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Teruko's role in ch113 if you'd like to share them! I didn't see anything inherently sexist in her role like you did, but I've also only been passively reading the recent chapters and so don't have a lot of context around the character's histories. I thought your original post about bsd's sexism was well-worded and informative so I always appreciate your critical analysis of bsd. if you want share i'd love to read! no pressure though

Hi, thank you! I already elaborated on this in the last ask but I'm taking the chance for a more personal note here: picture me last September, in the (miraculously empty) university library, watching the last season five episode, who knows they've just lost two trains home because the university wi-fi won't work for illegal streaming sites. Teruko suddenly stabs Fukuchi from behind, and I audibly gasp. I can't believe my eyes! This is it! Teruko is killing Fukuchi! I'm going to take back everything I've ever said about the author being sexist! They evidently can't be now! Teruko just killed Fukuchi! She must have done that because he betrayed her ideals! Ideals that she had in her! Ideals that make her her own independent person! That's consistent with how she's always been shown to be loyal to the military, she must have felt betrayed by Fukuchi, in finding out that he was actually a terrorist and betrayed the cause, and that's why she's killing him! She's so smart, she knew she couldn't do it before because she wouldn't have been able to outpower him, so she waited for him to let down his guard and strike when she knew he couldn't retaliate! Teruko has her own agency and free will and decided to act for what she believes in! Fukuchi is apologizing with her, so it must be a matter of betrayal and ideals! What a brilliant plot twist! That's amazing, spectacular, extraordinary, for a woman to conclude this arc! I love Teruko so much!

… And then sexism ensues. Like I know it would be foolish to be mad for what could have been (and I need to stretch that I'm not saying it's a sexist portrayal because it could have been better and more empowering, it's just sexist full stop), but I am a little bitter, I was so ready to accept the author for their newfound feminism and yet I was so wrong.

Like… I can't put in words how hurtful, but most than anything plain saddening it is to see Teruko here, after having consigned Fukuzawa her sword, take a step back from center stage. Her entrance happened after 19 minutes of male prevalence, and 60 seconds after she's already left. Please, write female characters better than that.

………………….. Then they show Kyouka and Lucy at the airport despite having done absolutely NOTHING at the conclusion of this arc. Literally, why didn't they make Kyouka or Lucy save Atsushi when Akutagawa had captured him (we know why). They didn't even give them a single spoken line. I'm literally begging the author to be at least a little respectful.

BSD Untold Origins: Anime VS Novel (1)

FINALLY ANIME ADAPTATION YESS- This is my fav BSD light novel and I'm so happy season 4 starts with it!! There's obviously moments and LOTS of, LOTS OF dialogue cut from anime to squish it within (most likely) 2 episodes...

Since I finally have the physical copy of the novel (from YenPress), I thought of comparing the changes/cut-out moments between anime & the light novel version..

When I say a lots of text/dialogue, ITS IS A LOT, so I'll also need to cut out most part to lessen the length of this post ^^" I covered the first half of episode 1,,, Obviously season 4, light novel, and (bit of) manga spoilers!

Gifs © @the-chikyuu-times

(Part 2)

Around that time, there were rumors of a highly competent bodyguard in Yokohama. Give him a sword, and he could kill a hundred villains. Give him a spear, and he could take on an entire army. [...] If one had to name a flaw, it would be that he never worked with others on the job and trusted no one. In short, he was a lone wolf. [...] His name - Yukichi Fukuzawa.

This brief tale is a record of one man's struggle, of his growth - and of parenting. -Page 57

Episode starts with an bonus scene that is easily missed when first-time watching (due to hype lol), a phone call from Fukuchi (Gen'ichiro is the real name of the IRL author, and nickname(?) in BSD)

This added scene is mind-blowing in a sense that in the manga, we just got more backstory of Fukuzawa & Fukuchi's past, so this must has been planned out a long time ago, and it will be used as a throwback when anime gets to the *coughs* current events..

[...] However, he wasn't exactly in a bad mood. He was drowning in self-loathing. His client had been assassinated, and it was all very sudden. [...] She was a certain company's president who he'd sworn to guard only a few days prior. They had never talked outside of work. Fukuzawa made it a point to avoid getting personally involved with his clients,[...] However, he was once asked if he wanted to become a full-time bodyguard. Hating the idea of working for a specific company and having subordinates and colleagues made it easy for Fukuzawa to instantly decline the offer. [...] -Page 58

[...] While the victim's body had already been taken away for examination, there was no hiding the enormous bloodstain on the ground.

[...] The secretary, a sickly-looking man dressed in a black coat and a crimson necktie, was lining up some of the papers across the room. He stared at the field of paper, pulled a few files out, and returned them to the bookshelf before lining up some more documents. -Page 59

"What?" Fukuzawa uttered in astonishment. "Is the suspect still next door?" "He's very quiet, so quiet you might think he was sleeping. Almost as if he's given up." -Page 60

Between "He's very quiet" and "I would like to see the assassin" convo is a paragraph about Yokohama being a lawless district, 'city of demons', 'lawbreaker's paradise', and the existent of skill users in the world.

[...] However, bodyguards for important people, such as Fukuzawa, were very familiar with them, [...] . While Fukuzawa was a master of the martial arts, he was not a skill user. [...] -Page 60

After asking to see the assassin, there's literally little more than 3 pages of Fukuzawa (slightly) bickering with the secretary about the papers on the floor lmaoo-

"Mind if I move some of these?" Fukuzawa asked, pointing at the documents. "Oh! Stop! Don't touch them!" "[...] Please find a way past them without touching or shifting them! I know someone as talented as you can do it!" Fukuzawa stopped just short of uttering, "Uh... Excuse me?" [...] - Page 62

His way of getting to the next room is describe as he leaps from a bookshelf and ornament(s), then landing on a guest chair with his hands, using one leg and arm to balance between the documents and reaching for the door and turned the knob with his fingers only, then using the door as balance he jumps into the room.

Probably the biggest change is the way the room arranged, the description of the assassin, and what Fukuzawa does in light novel.

[...] The assassin's hands and feet were bound, and the thick, dark sack over his head prevented Fukuzawa from being able to see his face. [...] Tied around his arms and legs was iron wire in addition to the rope. [...] He didn't appear to be any more than a run-of-the-mill bandit who was good at sneaking into buildings.

[...] This was the reception room. The only items in the room were a simple bookshelf, a table to discuss business, and a painting. [...] - Page 65

Fukuzawa hits the wall behind the assassin, no reaction. He knows after this that he's not an amateur. He keeps observing the assassin, no guess of his name or possible ability. On a small desk in the corner of the room are the pistols, changes, and pick locks. Fukuzawa pickes up a fountain pen on the desk, tests its writiblity, then using the pen as it was sword, he gets into a stance. The assassin reacts. Upon Fukuzawa stricking with the 'sword' (pen), he hops to the side while tied to chair and slams to the ground. Fukuzawa thinking about the reaction differences, then returns to the office.

"Greetings!" It was an energetic voice, reminiscent of clucking chicken. [...] He appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old [...] -Page 68

"[...] Oh! Also, I ran into a seagull on the way here. Good thing they're so nasty, huh? It grossed me out so much I ended up giving it one of my rice balls before I could stop myself." [...] "You're seriously never heard of a seagull before? Freaky-looking rats with wings, those things." [...] -Page 70

"Ack! Wait, wait, wait! Stop right there!" [...] ...the secretary grabbed the boy by the shoulder, barely stopping him in time. The boy stared at him, puzzled, [...] -Page 71

"Sheesh, just look at the mess you made here. I get that you didn't want anyone to search the room, but...this? Adults puzzle me. What a puzzling world we live in!" -Page 72

Ranpo keeps pushing and kicking away the papers, secretary is freaking out.

"Old guy"... Fukuzawa was about to counter with "I'm only thirty-two years old!" but he furrowed his brows, more curious about the last part of the boy's sentence. -Page 74

"After all, you're the one who killed her, Mr.Secretary." "...What?" The secretary tilted his head to the side, mouth agape. "...What?" The secretary tilted his head to the side, mouth agape. "...What?" The secretary tilted his head to the side, mouth agape. His head was almost completely perpendicular to the floor. "Why did you just say the same thing three times in a row? I swear, adults make absolutely no sense sometimes." [...] -Page 75

[...] "If my mother were here, she'd already have the criminal tied up and tossed out the window!" [...] You're joking, right? What is this? A test? Do I get points for every obvious detail I lint in the end? Sigh. The city really is a mystery to me." -Page 76

I can't stress enough the amount of times Ranpo talking about why the world & adult are confusing!! Basically the secretary framed the assassin he hired. He killed the president because the role of secretary wasn't enough for him.

The fight is similar, slight change is that Fukuzawa have more control, immobilize him using martial art techniques, while the bigger change is that all that moves that Oda does are done WHILE HE WAS STILL WEARING THE SACK. The secretary got killed the same way. Fukuzawa slams the assassin against the floor, and disarms him. He takes the sack off and finally recognizes Oda.

[...] The boy's dark-brown eyes were frighteningly vacant, void of even a fragment of emotion. [...] -Page 84
