Episode three of the anime series “Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions” begins with discussions at BLUE over Ron’s status as a detective. Episode two explained that BLUE is the world’s top detective training academy, which issues its students a detective license that grants them permission from police agencies all over the world to help solve cases. While Ron was undoubtedly the most accomplished student at the academy, a bona fide genius, he was banned from performing any detective work, as all his cases would inevitably (and often gruesomely) conclude with the culprit’s death. If BLUE finds out that Ron is back to solving cases, the repercussions could be grave.

Titled “The Case of the Benizome Hot Spring Murder – Part 1”, episode three begins with BLUE dispatching a person from the academy to investigate what Ron Kamonohashi is up to. And despite the tense beginning, the episode immediately switches to a comical tone, with Ron shopping at a supermarket and making his new rookie cop friend Totomaru Isshiki run silly errands for him.
This was a largely comical episode, where Ron and Totomaru go to take a break at Hot Spring after Ron wins a stay for two at a raffle. The writers weave in a dark legend around the hot springs to add to some intrigue to the otherwise silly proceedings. During the night of their stay Ron convinces a bunch of other guests to play a board game with him. Their fun little stay however ends on a shocking note when one of female guests is found dead. So this edition of “Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions” ends with a cliffhanger and we will probably find out about the killer on in the next episode.
Watch the series on Netflix.
