Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4 Ep 8: Release Date, Speculation, Discussion

The Armed Detective Agency is chased down by the Hunting Dogs in episode 7 of Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4, titled “Dogs Hunt Dogs”. The altering effects of the special book are so powerful so as to be able to manipulate memories, and everyone is in a bind as the police declare them terrorists.

Kunikida’s group escapes by using Yosano’s healing power, but as they try to leave by car, they are out-skilled by Jouno’s and Tetchou’s abilities.

As Tetchou is about to strike down Kunikida, he is disrupted by Chuuya’s gravity manipulation, who has arrived just in time to save them, on Mori’ orders.

Here are the latest updates.

Episode 8 Speculation

Episode 8 is titled “You, A Child of Sin. I, A Child of Sin”. Things aren’t looking good for the Detective Agency, but it seems that at least the Port Mafia has their backs. Mori was probably the one Fukuzawa was talking on the phone with, since he may have foreseen the situation.

The Port Mafia has worked together with the Detective Agency in the past, and it seems that they are their only allies at this moment.            

The next episode will also showcase Atsushi, Kyoka, and Dazai’s whereabouts. Since Jouno seems fine, Dazai might have really been arrested, but there is a possibility that he got out of the situation using his quick wit.

Kunikida’s group meets with Kenji’s, and they hide in a room while talking to Ranpo. Ranpo tells him that the reality-altering book is probably made by a higher power, not a gifted, since it can even overwrite their memories.

Kunikida steals a car, and they all drive off. However, they don’t go far before getting chased down by Jouno’s ability, who throws Kenji off the car.
