A theory on the Upcoming Episode
The next episode Bones is releasing is called 'Twilight Finale'
Lets break this down:
Twilight
Theory 1 - In the early chapters of the manga and episodes of the anime, the Armed Detective Agency are the peacekeepers of the Twilight - a time when the Government and the Port Mafia do not operate. The use of the word 'Twilight' suggests that this may be about the Armed Detective Agency.
Theory 2 - The franchise 'Twilight' is a gothic franchise about vampires, werewolves and romance. If we say the Armed Detective Agency are the 'Vampires' and the Hunting Dogs are the 'Werewolves' it fits rather nicely, considering in the 'Twilight' franchise they do have a war. (You can tell how little I know about Twilight lol)
Finale
Theory 1 - This could mean that this would be the last episode of Bungou Stray Dogs. The Last One. EVER.
Theory 2 - This could simply mean that this will be the last episode of season 5
Theory 3 - The author Dazai Osamu's last book was titled 'Goodbye'. The poet, Nakahara Chuuya, has a poem called, 'Autumn Song' which references a dying man who acts like all hope is lost for him. Do what you will with this information.
Theory 4 - This is the last episode Bones will make because they are very broke because they spent all their money on old man yaoi.
Wait. 2.0 Very scary version.
You know how Meursalt is set in France right. I am 35.56% sure that France called their best buddies, England over.
That means The Order of The Clock Tower will most likely arrive, just as this pandemonium will reach its crescendo.
Asagiri is far too smart to mention a group of ability users, and then not have them show up in the story. This will end the Meursalt Arc, and begin the Clock Tower Arc, in which some highly patriotic brits will 'FIGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY'.
This will mostly end BADLY. Lets hope this is not the version Asagiri has in mind. If it is, this is a lovely warning to stock up on fluffy fanfics and wait in mortal terror for October.
YAY!
Nobody Dies. Except Fukuchi, nobody likes him. LMFAO AYA did not die. Did you see the way Akutagawa held her. I headcanon that he is good with kids. Yay. Asagiri no longer hates children. Chuuya was never a Vampire. He just had Halloween teeth. Fyodor got stabbed. Soukoku are a freaking Circus Act. I had to wait 3 hrs to watch the damn episode. Because of stuff I had to do. Best 23:40 of my life.
Poe makes a comeback with the childhood scene. Is this a commentary I'm writing side my side? Yes! I'm so damn happy. Kunikida is alive and kicking. Nikolai is depressed. Why is he cradling Fyodor's detached arm. Oh wait, Fukuzawa is still Gay for Fukuchi. Teruko is NOT a cinammon roll. Bram Gets A Body™. Also we get a beautiful Aya and Bram in the sunset.
LOOK at Akutagawa's outfit. They're Gay Your Honor™.
Idk about ya'll but this "I like it" and "lovely" can never be same -
Ok but like
where’s Yosano
Chuuya never having been a vampire is objectively hilarious
But it makes no sense
If he was never a vampire then why was Fyodor waiting for him to show up. He would have no reason to believe Chuuya would show up because he’s not a vampire. It’s not some secret info he would have been able to get from the other vampires at the prison because, and again I want to stress this fact, he was never a vampire to begin with
Also there’s no way Fyodor was actually fooled by some fake fangs and eye contacts. This is someone who can go toe to toe with both Dazai and Ranpo and who is also a fantastic actor himself who we have seen using disguises. He would have known.
And if Chuuya really was never a vampire then why didn’t he just kill Fyodor. Or at the very least not save him. He was in the perfect position. We already know he had a gun on him. And there are multiple times where Fyodor turned his back to him. He could have just shot him.
Not to mention the fact that it kind of ruins all the moments between skk. The abject horror at realising the person who knows you the most and you trust with your life is being used by the enemy to kill you. For their free will to be taken away. Being put in a position where you have to kill them to save the world.
Only for that never to have been the case.
I don’t know. I just feel like it was a weird choice.
BSD S5 E11 theory with spoilers (obviously)
Kind of a 2 in 1.
So l've been thinking about the last episode a lot over the past couple of days. Mostly about how unsatisfying it felt. It's been about 6 years since everything with the DOA started in the manga. That's 6 years of wondering what's going to happen. How are the ADA going to get out of this one. Are my favourite characters going to be ok.
Only for it to end up being that they where never in any danger to begin with.
It was all staged. Tanizaki and Kunikida would have been fine no matter what, all you had to do was unplug the machine. Chuuya was never a vampire to begin with. Dazai escaped the prison and got the antidote. Fyodor is finally killed. Everyone's fine. It was all just a convoluted set up.
But then that got me thinking. It all ended a little too perfectly.
Enter the book/page.
What if someone wrote in the book to help the agency so that everything would end happily ever after. The machines where dangerous. Until someone wrote in the book that they weren't. Chuuya was actually a vampire. Until someone wrote in the book that he wasn't.
And so on.
So then who would have access to the book/page. Well we don't know where the book is, that's what everyone is looking for. People most likely to actually know where it is would be Taneda and of course Natsume. Of those two Natsume is the most likely. We haven't seen him since the Canabalism arc and we know that he's always working behind the scenes to help out. So what was he doing while the agency was being framed?
But let's leave that as a possibility for now and move onto my second theory.
The page. Last we saw Fukuchi had it. So that leave's Fukuzawa, Ranpo and Teruko with easy access.
But here's what l'm thinking.
The otherside of the page was supposed to be written on that night. But if Fukuchi was already planning on dying then how would he do that?
The answer is he wouldn't. But you know who could? Teruko.
We already know she talked with Fukuchi before everything went down and that she was on his side. So what if Fukuchi gave the page to Teruko and told her what to write. Or maybe just gave it to her for safe keeping.
Either way Teruko would have the page. And what would you do if you where just forced to kill someone you love and you have the ability to manipulate reality. You'd try bring them back.
Enter weird Fukuchi from the end of the episode.
We already know that the book/page can bring people from inside the book outside the book because of Sigma. So what if in Terukos grief she wrote on the page for Fukuchi to be a live.
But because our Fukuchi was already dead it wouldn't make narrative sense for him to suddenly come back to life. So what if instead the book brought a different Fukuchi from inside the book into the main world.
Or if we're going of how the book works in Beast then main world swapped with a world where Fukuchi was alive. Which would also explain Akutagawas weird outfit.
Anyway that's my weird theory about the last episode. Guess we'll find out in like 2 years if l'm right or not.
TLDR: The ending of the last episode was weird and I think that either Natsume wrote in the book to help the agency or Teruko wrote on the other side of the page to bring Fukuchi back and that's why everything went to shit.
Something something Dazai and Fyodor both “losing” their right arm
Something something parallels
Something something Fyodor is definitely alive
Minor spoilers for chapter 113
After todays chapter I feel the need to bring up the fact that every time anyone thinks about everyone from the agency Dazai is never pictured with them.
In most cases he’s not even thought of at all. I thought it strange at first but after todays chapter where it’s the president who was thinking of everyone and yet Dazai is still not pictured I thought that something has to be going on.
All I can think is something to do with the book because that’s when it started but at this point I’m not sure what’s going on anymore. If anyone has theories would love to hear them.

SO. UM. GO BONNEY IG!!
Akutagawa... My beloved 😭
Love this panel ❤️
Don't pay too attention to the eyes
AND QUANXI ALSO DID A COMEBACK TO CSM I CAN’T-
WHO SAID SOUKOKUOVER? WHO SAID IT? CAUSE LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING—
If you're considering when Dazai noticed Chuuya wasn't a vampire, keep in mind that if Chuuya were a vampire, he wouldn't have killed the guards in Meursault. He would have turned them into more vampires.
Also, if you think that it cheapens the scene in which Dazai drowns Fyodor and Chuuya for Dazai to have known Chuuya was human: it doesn't. Regardless of whether Dazai knew Chuuya would survive (he did; see his explanation of how he would kill Chuuya in Fifteen, the light novel, and further how he approached Verlaine in Storm Bringer):
Imagine how fucking miserable it must have been to do that to someone he loves and trusts. Imagine how difficult for Dazai to lean into and trust Chuuya to be okay, not only after Dazai drowned him, but in such close proximity to Fyodor, whose ability is touch-based. Imagine Dazai recalling that when he was 16, his botched timing meant that Chuuya was tortured. Imagine Dazai reminding himself that Chuuya suffered then because Dazai didn't trust him, didn't let him in on what he was doing, thought only he could pull the strings up until he was too late— and yet Chuuya remained okay anyway. Imagine Dazai considering how time and time again he's received Chuuya's unadulterated trust and choosing to reciprocate with unequivocal faith. Imagine Dazai being unable to express any of this to Chuuya typically, except for in moments when the demands of the circumstances and Chuuya's inability to respond together loosen his inhibitions and his tongue.
Further, usually when Dazai's batshit machinations are exposed, his eyes flatten, his voice slickens into condescension, and he palpably slips into a version of himself that even unnerved Mori. But, in Twilight Goodbye/ep 61, Dazai's eyes were honeyed and light, his voice playful, and his mannerisms bright and animated. Those were not his typical machinations, because rather than attempt to control the variables, which he admitted he couldn't, he responded to what happened as it unfolded, and trusted those he loved to do the same.
He trusted Chuuya, Chuuya trusted him. Because of that, everything was okay. It's not cheap that Chuuya was never a vampire, nor would it be cheap if Dazai knew as soon as Chuuya tore through Meursault that he wasn't really a vampire. Angst is not the source of Bungou Stray Dogs' intensity; hope, faith, and love are, and they're just as heady.
The same line from episode 1!
「君では私を殺せない」
"You can't kill me."
