After the bloodbath we had last week, Bungou returned to quite the usual goofy show, though indeed, Atsushi would become changed by those past events--and those to come in this fourth episode: The Tragedy of the Fatalist. Beware of spoilers, intentional or otherwise.
Truly, the backstory and connection with Atsushi's previous experiences are some of the nicer points of Bungou. Here we have Atsushi thinking back that he would only injure those around him, making a worst-case scenario.
And for once, Kunikida would play some big role in his thought process, by telling him to focus and think about what he could do himself.
...and losing his cool.
Coupled with the really awkward scene involving Junichirou and, surprisingly, Yosano, who hasn't really appeared since episode one. And who knew she'd be that lewd.
A new man with a cool new power, to break solid matter, who works for the Port Mafia. He infiltrated a factory, and after squeezing a man to death, smokes while his goons opened fire. He might be interesting enough, with his eccentric acts, but we'll see.
And, after that, who knew that Atsushi would phone the mafia and declared that he quit. And really do that.
The emotions stirring in him is just really obvious, making this show quite touching, really. Here, his thoughts return once again when he was kicked out of the orphnage; a unifying theme in this show, and it was just sad that the only thing he could focus on doing was to quit.
These three guys of the Black Lizards, the Port Mafia hitmen, could be an interesting bunch, the usual quarrelsome mob leaders. Else, why did they give us their names?
And thus, as Atsushi quit thinking he won't harm the Detectives, the Lizards prepare to knock down the headquarters. Ironic, really.
These two scenes, Akutagawa and Dazai. I have no idea what they mean. Perhaps that is Akutagawa's servant or something. Perhaps Dazai is just being Dazai and appears just for the sake of appearing.
Oh, here we'll have a nice fight...
...or not. Shame, I would've loved to see more action here, seeing what they are capable of doing such as in last episode. Atsushi, in his disbelief of hearing gunfire in the headquarters, rushed there, where he was met with equal disbelief in the calm scene, with all of the Lizards defeated and being thrown off the window.
Apparently, the worst case scenario is having a raid and having the budgets being thrown way off.
Seriously, in the end, they were just messing around with us in this episode, just for the sake of Atsushi.
Even Dazai didn't appear in the battlefield. I mean, come on.
However, this episode did end quite satisfyingly. Well, other than Atsushi's tears being stopped by the yelling Kunikida. Perhaps those tears are of being accepted. This episode, I would say, will make him stay with the Armed Detectives for the rest of Bungou.
