This anime isn't bad but seems overrated. A lot of things in this show are contradictory or doesn't make much sense. Not to mention all the asspull mysteries that solve themselves. I find a lot of the criminal motives to be pretty stupid as well.

1. The ship arc. Why didn't the girl just kill all the old guys when she drugged them during dinner if she just wanted revenge? Don't know why she bothered leaving weapons in there and recreating the "game" and risking her own life (she invited the psychopath actor too). Why the psychopath actor did a complete 180 for some reason and started going Shining on them (He became a mindless beast). If he wanted to kill them all, he had plenty of chances... what was the point of faking his death with the tennis ball?

2. The whole Gray Wolves arc. Like why were 3 random guys going to the village with Kujou and Victorique in the first place when they could only go in with Victorique's invitation? The motives and way that one thief killed the other 2 was stupid. They way the maid confessed to the crime and how she subsequently got loose and burned down half the village. How no one helpd Victorique pull up Kujou.

3. During the alchemist arc, Grevil warns Kujou that if Victorique wanted to solve the mystery, he should stop her because it's dangerous. Next ep. Victorique figures it out and tells Kujou to call Grevil so they can investigate the tower. Why would he calmly go with them when he warned them not to?

4. In the Blue Rose arc, how did Antasia have enough money to get a carriage and how did she have enough strength with her boney arms/leg manage to "kidnap" Kujou? Rather, why did she run away from Kujou in the first place and hide herself behind the boxes? I thought she ran away but no, she waited till Kujou came back with police and then left again before she escaped. How did Kujou even manage to get into the room at the top floor with all the valuables (wtf are the locks) and then later to the basement storage. What's with the security at this place?

5. What the hell was the point of "locking" Victorique in the tower at Beelzebub Island and then subsequently telling (encouraging even) Kujou to go rescue Victorique? In fact, she wasn't even locked in there since Kujou could easily open the door without breaking anything. Then they leisurely stroll around the carnival. To lure her mother out? He didn't do a good job at that... and I don't know why he needs her anyways.

What was the point of the Marquis disgusing himself, riding the train, just to talk to Kujou (Coincidentally Kujou chooses the correct train room)? Why did he even flood Beelzebub Island?

6. Coco Rose arc, coincidentally there's a picture of Lulu right next to Cordelia and Kujou has an epiphany to research Lulu. Why did the King bother to make a grave and tombstone for Lulu when her death is supposed to be a secret? The whole mass recruiting of a blonde hair, blue eyed secretary immediately after Coco supposedly died was just stupid. You'd think they search for a double in secret.

7. Why Kujou randomly chases/stalks other people.

8. Avril's subplot didn't have much closure.

9. Twin Roscoes seem to have come out of nowhere. Also the large gust of wind back in 21 made no sense. It wasn't just smoke since it caused quite a lot of visible damage.

10. Does nobody ever visit the damn library? There's a huge tower library with hundreds of thousands of books and the only one ever there is Victorique. They never even explained why Victorique went from living in a dungeon to having a little house in the middle of a bush maze and having the library all to herself. The Marquis doesn't seem to make much of an effort to really confine her since there have been at least 2-3 occasions where she left the school grounds herself.

11. How did Victorique manage to save evil Roscoe from that REALLY HIGH cliff (how did he even survive that fall?) and still manage to get to the ship on time? And no real explanation as to how her hair went silver (did she dye it? Where did she get the dye from?).

What I'm noticing is that a lot of these places do not have locks or guards anywhere and a lot of coincidences (not the good kind). A lot of these things don't have logical reasons.
