Synopsis
Continues the story of Bungo Stray Dogs 3
Following the conclusion of the three-way conflict between the organizations, government agent Ango Sakaguchi reflects on an incident from years past, occurring shortly after the death of the previous Port Mafia boss. During that time, the newcomer Osamu Dazai was tasked with investigating reports of a massive explosion that had devastated part of the city long ago, and its potential connection to the rumored return of the former leader. Caught in circumstances beyond his control, Dazai is compelled to cooperate with Chuuya Nakahara, the talented yet unpredictable leader of a rival gang known as the Sheep, to expose the truth behind the case and unravel the mystery of Arahabaki—the fire deity who may possess the answers they seek. In the present day, the Armed Detective Agency returns to its normal duties. However, their tranquility is short-lived, as both familiar foes and new adversaries regroup to prepare for another confrontation.
In this installment
Yukichi Fukuzawa has abandoned his military career and now works independently as a hired bodyguard, relying on his exceptional swordsmanship. His solo efforts struggle to gain traction until he crosses paths with a sharp-witted young man named Ranpo Edogawa. Their first encounter revolves around a peculiar murder case, which ultimately leads to the founding of the Armed Detective Agency. In the present day, Ranpo is on the trail of a highly skilled individual whose dangerous ability makes them nearly impossible to stop. As the renowned detective delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a complex scheme designed to dismantle the Agency entirely. Though aware that the situation may be a trap, the Agency presses on in pursuit of the criminals, only to find themselves falsely accused of the very crimes they were investigating and branded as fugitive terrorists. To clear their names and restore their reputations, the surviving members must seek help from those they once considered enemies.
