Here’s What Happened Before Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4

Liking the premise and thinking of bingeing it all before Season 4 starts? Bungo Stray Dogs follows a quirky detective agency whose members have supernatural powers. To make things fun for literature nerds, each member of the agency is named after a famous Japanese author, including Osamu Dazai, Atsushi Nakajima (our protagonist), Ryonosuke Akutagawa, and others. Each of the characters has a power that is related to their respective author’s body of work, filling the show with interesting intertextual elements. In later episodes, the agency fights against foreign detective forces whose members are based on writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Lucy Maud Montgomery, among many others. For existing fans who need a refresher, Season 4 is expected to focus on the aftermath of the manga’s Cannibalism arc which was covered in its entirety in Season 3. Season 3 began by adapting prequel material, demonstrating how Osamu Dazai met Chuya Nakahara while working for the Port Mafia. The episodes after show the detective agency and the Port Mafia being manipulated by a group known as Rats in the House of the Dead. In Season 4, we expect to follow Ranpo Edogawa in his attempt to free Doppo Kunikida from prison after the latter was wrongfully framed for murder. The Cannibalism Aftermath arc of the manga is very short. From there on, we expect Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4 to shift its focus to the manga’s Hunting Dogs arc. In it, the Armed Detective Agency is framed as a terrorist group, and a military unit, the titular Hunting Dogs, starts pursuing the agency members.
