Bungo Stray Dogs is a series that has been serialized in Young Ace since 2013, and is characterized by the appearance of real-life literary figures such as Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke as characters. The anime is a popular series that has aired three seasons, and the fourth season is finally scheduled to air in 2023, attracting attention. With a new season, one thing that people are naturally curious about is which new characters will be animated. In this article, we would like to introduce the new characters that we currently know about!
Introduction: Where in the original does Season 4 cover?
As for where in the original work the new season will start, it is likely to start from volume 13. The entire season depicts the battle with Dostoevsky, which in the original work is up to around chapter 53 of volume 13. Therefore, if we make a more detailed prediction, I think the new season will start from chapter 54 of the original work. If you can't wait for the anime to be made, why not take this opportunity to read the original work?
Fukuchi Ochi
He is the captain of the strongest special forces "Hounds". He is said to be a living legend of the military police, and is a hero who was given the sword Ame Gozen. He has a mustache and three scars on his right cheek, and he looks very dignified. He doesn't just look strong, he actually has high abilities and also has conductor powers. He has a hearty laugh and often doesn't seem serious, such as farting during a strategy meeting, but he has absolute conviction in catching dangerous criminals. He is famous worldwide as a legendary hero "Samurai", and his exploits have been made into a movie three times, but it seems that many of them have been dramatized. He was a childhood friend of Fukuzawa Yukichi, and when he came to interrogate him, he shared a drink with him, and Fukuzawa called him "Genichiro". In battle, he was ordered by the state to kill many people, and he had horrific experiences, such as torturing not only soldiers but also civilians, including women and children. Because of this, he believes that a "good state" is nonsense, and that the hell of war is born because states and order exist, and he wants to eliminate states. He formed the "Tennin Gosui" to give rulers a painful death. Although he has committed many cruel acts, he has never enjoyed violence, and he says that he committed terrorism and murder because they were necessary.
Ability: Mirror Lion
It is the ability to increase the power of the weapon he holds by 100 times. When used by Fukuchi, who already has high fighting power, the power of the sword naturally becomes immense, the power of the sword increases to the point where you would not even notice if you were cut, you can cut a boat with a railing that is nothing more than an iron bar, and a small stone you picked up can become a powerful slingshot. What's more, you can even use someone else's fist as your own weapon, with 100 times the power.
Okura Teruko
She is the second-in-command of the Hounds. Her whip is a source of fear for not only enemies but also allies, so much so that even demons cry in fear. Although she has a childish appearance with her hair in a side ponytail on the left side, she often makes bizarre remarks and can exude a murderous aura that can silence others. However, for some reason, her attitude and tone of voice become much gentler only towards Fukuchi. She uses "washi" as her first-person pronoun and speaks in an old-fashioned tone. She has strong convictions in order to embody the order of the country. While she shows a childlike appearance, such as when she gets in a good mood by riding on someone's shoulders, she is also smart and can make instant decisions. She has a strong sense of justice and never fought back against the ordinary people who were tricked by Sigma and tried to kill them. She follows Montgomery and enters the Sky Casino with Tachihara. It is said that the most frightening time for the vice-captain is not when he is angry or being tortured, but when he listens to what the other person says obediently.
Ability: Soul Moaning
It is the ability to manipulate the age of anyone she touches, including herself. Since victory is confirmed with just a touch, he has the ability to be unbeatable in close combat. When torturing, he turns his opponent into a child or aging them.
Gogol
One of the members of "Tennin Gosui", he is characterized by his magician-like clothing and frank tone of voice. He is called "the clown". His special skill is disguise, and while working as the secretary to the Deputy Minister of Justice for half a year, he played two roles by leaking information about the detective agency to those in the secret meeting. He attacked the police car carrying Oguri Mushitaro, who was about to turn himself in, and kidnapped him. He then appeared in front of Atsushi in an underground passage and used his ability to immobilize him. Afterwards, he appeared in front of the hostages as the ringleader, but before he knew it, he had become one of the hostages, and his upper body was cut off in front of Kunikida and the others. He should have died at that moment, but he used his ability to create a gap and connect the severed torso of another person to make it look like he had died, and then he began his own actions.
Ability: Cloak
He can connect the cloth surface of his cloak to a distant space with a range of up to 30 meters. With this ability, he succeeded in making it look like he had died and deceiving Kunikida and the others. The name of the ability comes from the title of a novel by Nikolai Gogol, the famous writer with the same name as the character.
Mushitaro Oguri
He is the person who created the fake documents that led to the arrest of Kunikida Doppo. He is also known as the "Destroyer" and works as an information manipulation expert. He is a 26-year-old man with his bangs parted in the middle and wearing a bow tie and suit. He is Dostoevsky's collaborator and the only person who knows why Dostoevsky was intentionally captured by the Special Task Force for Paranormal Activities. After Dostoevsky's arrest, he murdered a popular mystery writer who was also his friend in order to obtain funds for his own escape. He then sold the unpublished manuscript of Dostoevsky's latest work to an underground auction house. He then disguised another person as himself and dropped him from the top of the tower to make it look like he had died. At the crime scene, Edogawa Ranpo immediately figured out the mystery, so he used his ability to prevent him from using his super-deduction skills. However, Ranpo realized that he was the culprit, even though he had no evidence, and he was kidnapped by Gogol to solve the "perfect crime". After that, Gogol and his friends tortured him, which undoes the perfect crime, and they were able to recover the evidence to arrest Dazai.
Ability: Perfect Crime
He can completely erase the evidence of his crimes. It can also be used in applications such as erasing evidence while still holding stolen goods, allowing him to act without appearing on surveillance records. The name of the ability comes from a detective novel by the same name as the character, the literary master Oguri Mushitaro.
Summary of new character introduction
With the appearance of the new character, I have a feeling that the new series will be very exciting. I think it will be very exciting for fans to see their favorite characters moving on the screen with voice. I can't wait for next year's broadcast! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
