Bungou Stray Dogs has captivated audiences with its unique characters and compelling plotlines. Among the most fascinating dynamics in the series is the relationship between Osamu Dazai and Chuuya Nakahara. Initially, they were rivals, then partners, and once again, rivals. However, in Bungou Stray Dogs season 5, their relationship will reach its most heartbreaking point yet.
Kadokawa has released the second trailer for Bungou Stray Dogs season 5, confirming its premiere in Summer 2023. This season continues the story from season 4, which ended on March 29th. Studio Bones concluded the adaptation with chapter 77 of the manga written by Kafka Asagiri and illustrated by Sango Harukawa. The new season will feature the Kamui Revealed and Vampire Infected Outbreak arcs, which will surely be emotional for fans of Dazai and Chuuya.
While the trailers have yet to reveal what will happen to Dazai and Chuuya, Kadokawa has confirmed that one scene from the manga will be included in season 5. The heart-wrenching event occurs in chapter 105 and involves Chuuya being infected by a vampire and teaming up with Fyodor Dostoevsky. Meanwhile, Dazai partners with Sigma, a member of Decay of Angels who is struggling with his own emotional turmoil.
In chapter 101, Fyodor and Dazai attempt to defeat each other quickly and escape from Meursault facility. While Dazai is successful in killing the security guard and changing the room code, Fyodor and Chuuya enter the incorrect code and become trapped in a room that begins to fill with water. As they struggle to stay alive, Dazai speaks to Chuuya over the loudspeaker and says goodbye to his former partner, reminiscing about their past together. However, he realizes they never had such a moment and simply says goodbye.
Anime-only fans may not know what happens next, but manga readers are aware of the emotional turmoil that ensues. If season 5 adapts chapter 107, Dazai will be depicted as dying after helping Sigma escape. Seeing this will surely break fans’ hearts.
Overall, Bungou Stray Dogs season 5 promises to be an emotional rollercoaster for fans of the series. The relationship between Dazai and Chuuya will reach an all-time low, and fans will be on the edge of their seats to see what will happen next. With Studio Bones at the helm, fans can expect stunning animation and breathtaking action sequences. Bungou Stray Dogs season 5 is definitely a must-watch for any anime fan.
