'Bungo Stray Dogs' Season 5 Episode 10: Follow-up Discussion

An overstuffed episode leads to surplus discussion.

There was more to talk about in Season 5’s penultimate episode–so here are other details I wanted to get into in the episode. 

I hope this tides everyone over while I finish editing the Season 5 finale audio commentary.

(But you can listen to that audio commentary right now for free: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bungo-season-5-89432187)

SPOILER WARNING for content up to the Season 5 finale and Chapter 110 of the "Bungo Stray Dogs" manga, as well as all "Bungo" films, audio dramas, light novels, and other content.
