Ep 10. Cannibalism (Part Two)

As the title suggests, Bungo Stray Dogs season 3 episode 10, titled Cannibalism (Part Two), picks up where the previous episode left off with a continuation of the intense fight between the members of the Armed Detective Agency and the Guild. With many members from both sides gravely injured, it seems as if the fate of Yokohama is in the balance.

As the fight rages on, the Guild's leader, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, reveals the true extent of his ability, The Great Fitzgerald. His power allows him to manipulate time, rendering any attacks moot as he effortlessly dodges them. The pun on his name becomes clear as we are treated to a visual representation of his ability, with a surge of classical music coinciding with the temporal distortions of both the fight and our perception of the world around us.

As the battle intensifies, tensions rise between the members of the Armed Detective Agency, who are now struggling with the uncertainty of their mission and their allegiances. The story focuses on the character arc of Atsushi, the main character of the series, as he faces his own demons and the implications of his actions. His ability to turn into a tiger, known as the Beast Beneath the Moonlight, has been instrumental in the fight against the Guild, but his past as an orphan and his association with the Guild provide a deeper level of complexity to his character.

The scene shifts to the Port Mafia, who are dealing with their own issues in the aftermath of the fight. As Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a member of the Port Mafia, questions their loyalty to the Armed Detective Agency, it becomes apparent that the Port Mafia has its own agenda in the fight for Yokohama. The dynamic between the two groups adds an interesting layer of intrigue to the story, as both sides must decide where their allegiances lie.

The episode culminates in a dramatic confrontation between Fitzgerald and Atsushi. As they battle each other with all their might, they both come to a realization that changes everything. The fight is intense, the music swells to an emotional crescendo, and the outcome is unexpected.

Overall, Bungo Stray Dogs season 3 episode 10 delivers another action-packed installment in the series, with beautiful animation and an intriguing storyline that keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish.
