Bungo Stray Dogs had a glorious premiere for its fourth season, which is rumored to unravel secrets that we would have never expected. The question is, are we prepared for it?
From the promos, we could theorize that the season will dive into a history lesson about all the characters, but the first episode and its key visual confirmed it.
The staff for Bungo Stray Dogs anime has revealed a new key visual for season 4’s first episode that debuted this week on January 5. It is based on the series’ third light novel volume, ‘The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency.’
The 4th season of “Bungo Stray Dogs” will start broadcasting with “Secret Story of the Establishment of the Detective Agency”! A new key visual drawn by Nobuhiro Arai has also been released! The anime’s official website has also been renewed to “Secret story of the establishment of the detective agency,” so please take a look!

The visual features Edogawa Ranpo and Yukichi Fukuzawa atop a construction site with a blood-red moon in the background. This signifies that the Detective Agency has a horrific past that we don’t know about.
Moreover, the franchise also unveiled the returning cast members who will play the younger versions of the characters in these episodes. They are:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Edogawa Ranpo | Hiroshi Kamiya | Levi (Attack on Titan) |
| Yukichi Fukuzawa | Rikiya Koyama | Yamato (Naruto Shippūden) |
| Oda Sakunosuke | Yūto Uemura | Tamaki Amajiki/Suneater (My Hero Academia) |
These actors have already voiced the younger versions of their respective characters in previous episodes. However, this time their role would be more significant than most as the anime is picking up the novel volume featuring the Agency’s past.
Digging the Detective Agency’s past is just the tip of the iceberg this season, and I promise there’s much more to come.
Crunchyroll is streaming the anime worldwide, and the first episode is already out. So, if you still haven’t watched it, what are you waiting for?
