Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple (文豪ストレイドッグス DEAD APPLE)

No other days in Yokohama underground society produced as many corpses as those 88 did.

Many organizations were involved in that bloodbath.

The Dragon Head Conflict

The night before its conclusion

This is sickening.

Corpses, no matter which way I look.

You're lucky to be alive in this situation.

Odasaku.

Dazai, where are you?

I have a feeling I know what you're up to, but you need to run.

It's not going to be safe there for long.

Piss off, scrub.

Hi, Chuuya. You're in range of the enemy.

Take some bullets and die, thanks.

Shut up.

Damn gifted.

He thinks he's the shit.

It would have been more amusing if you'd been struck by lightning and killed.

Shut it, Dazai.

You're five minutes late.

Because of that, I got smacked three more times than I needed to.

I might as well finish you off.

I'm not the one you need to kill.

Look at all this trash.

Clean it up, please.

You're prepared for this, aren't you?

Come to think of it, I have a debt to repay you.

It'll be mine.

It won't be mine.

It'll be mine.

It won't be mine.

It'll be mine.

It won't be mine.

It'll be mine.

It won't be mine.

It'll be mine.

It won't be mine.

It'll be mine.

It won't be mine.

Those jewels are all real.

He could have made a woman really happy.

It won't be mine.

It's not much fun seeing these readings come true.

Starting an organization hasn't helped me get what I want.

Give me back my friends.

Welcome, boring guest.

I don't expect you to give me what I desire.

Die now, as they did.

All your friends killed themselves.

Boring people are boring, even in death.

You...

Don't stop me.

Oh, dear.

Corruption, huh?

This is too much fun.

Bungo Stray Dogs

Six years later...

I never knew this place existed in Yokohama.

Nakajima Atsushi-kun.

Yes?

Do you know whose grave this is?

No.

But it's someone dear to you, right?

What makes you think that?

I've never seen you pay a visit to a grave.

Does it look like I'm visiting a grave to you?

It does. Why?

Odasaku!

Odasaku...

What am I supposed to do?

Be on the side that saves people.

If it doesn't matter either way, be a good person.

Save the weak, and protect the orphans.

There's little difference between justice and evil to you, is there?

That's at least a little more beautiful.

How can you be so sure?

I can.

More than anyone.

I'm your friend, after all.

Was it someone you were in love with?

If it was a woman I loved, I'd have died with her.

Oh, yeah, I guess you would have.

Did you say something?

Oh, no.

Nothing.

He was a friend.

The man who gave me a reason to quit the Port Mafia and join the Detective Agency.

Without him, I may have stayed in the Mafia,

murdering people.

I'm kidding.

I bet Kunikida-kun told you to come find me, didn't he?

Yes.

He said there's an important meeting.

Pass.

I've been wanting to try a new suicide technique.

Again?

Jeez.

Kunikida-san's going to give me an earful again.

Dihua Street, Taipei

Play

This is footage from a security camera in Taipei, Taiwan.

As you can see, the fog erupted in a matter of minutes, and vanished.

But this isn't a weather anomaly.

Suspicious bodies were discovered after the fog.

This burnt corpse.

Terrible.

Kunikida...

Yes?

This person's gifted.

You're correct, Rampo-san.

He was a well-known fire-wielding gifted in his area.

Age: Approx. 34 Taipei - Dihua Street Death by immolation

This is Singapore, a year ago.

Sure enough, a dense fog emerged.

Another suspicious corpse was discovered after it dissipated.

He was a card-wielding gifted.

A talented assassin.

Detroit, half a year ago.

Another body discovered after the fog.

As you can imagine, she was an ice-wielding gifted.

In other words, after the strange fog,

these gifted people across the world died by their own abilities.

Is the fog somehow related?

There are 128 confirmed cases that are thought to be of the same nature.

More than five hundred have died.

The Gifted Special Operations Division calls this series of events

the "Serial Gifted Suicide Incident".

Speaking of suicide...

Where's that fool Dazai, Atsushi?

He said he was going to pass, because he came up with a new suicide technique.

That bonehead!

I see.

What are you doing, Rampo-san?

It's a secret.

So any gifted who touches that fog kills themselves?

I'll never let you do that.

I'm never going to let you kill yourself and leave me behind.

So, what does this have to do with us?

There's more to this than just, "Let's be careful, because we're gifted, too," right?

The Special Operations Division has requested that we investigate.

We've received information that a man thought

to be involved in these serial suicides is in Yokohama.

We've been asked to capture him.

This is that man.

Name: Shibusawa Tatsuhiko Age: 29 Sex: Unknown Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Special Abilities: Unknown Nationality: Unknown

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. Twenty-nine.

All we know is that he has some kind of special ability,

and that he goes by the street name "Collector".

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

The Armed Detective Agency will accept this job.

Gifted are the most direct victims of this case.

This is also important to protect the lives of the Agency.

More than anything, I get the sense that this is going to cause broader public harm.

The Detective Agency will hereby commit all of its resources to investigating this man.

Kunikida-san, what do you think?

About what?

Is serial suicide even a thing?

I can't say.

Supposing they have the ability to control people psychologically,

the international investigation agencies would have information on someone that powerful.

I hope we can get some more detailed information

out of the Special Operations Division agent we're about to meet.

Perfectly on schedule.

Kunikida-san!

It's the Special Operations Division agent.

He's dead.

What's the matter?

Did the murderer leave this behind?

An apple?

Kunikida-san...

Why an apple?

How should I know?

What shall we toast to today?

Shouldn't we wait for Ango to arrive?

Let's chat, then.

I heard something interesting recently.

Have you heard of apple suicide?

Apple suicide?

Yup, apple suicide.
