Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple

In a city where supernatural talent is woven into everyday life, a sudden, all‑consuming fog rolls over Yokohama, leaving behind a trail of vanished civilians and a chilling pattern of ability‑users found dead. The eerie atmosphere turns the bustling metropolis into a stage for something far larger than any single crime, hinting at a threat that could ripple across the globe. Whispers speak of an unknown power “Collector” pulling the strings from the shadows, a mystery that has the very fabric of the city trembling.

The Armed Detective Agency, a group of gifted investigators dedicated to protecting the innocent, finds itself thrust into the heart of the crisis. Led by the meticulous Doppo Kunikida, the team includes the earnest newcomer Atsushi Nakajima, whose tiger‑shaped power mirrors his inner turmoil, and the enigmatic Kyōka Izumi, a young woman wrestling with a fearsome snow‑based ability. Their interactions blend dry wit, quiet camaraderie, and a shared resolve to uncover the truth behind the fog’s lethal reach.

Complicating matters, the Agency’s usual rivals—the Port Mafia—emerge from the mist with their own motives. Figures like the stoic Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and the sardonic Osamu Dazai hover between antagonist and uneasy ally, forcing both sides to confront lingering mistrust. The uneasy partnership injects a noir‑flavored tension, as each group must balance personal codes against the pressing need to stop a catastrophe that threatens not only Yokohama but every gifted individual worldwide.

The film’s tone marries atmospheric dread with moments of sharp humor, allowing the characters’ personalities to shine amid the looming darkness. As the fog thickens, the narrative teases a delicate dance of power, loyalty, and survival, inviting viewers to wonder how far the detectives will go—and what hidden strengths they must summon—to keep their city from being swallowed whole.
