Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 episode 2 will be broadcast on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, at 11 pm JST on TV Asahi. The episode will be released on Japanese TV networks, followed by Crunchyroll to stream globally.

The season premiere started off with Fukuzawa's backstory as fans got to see how he first met Ranpo Edogawa. This could be the backstory to how the Armed Detective Agency was formed, since at the time, Fukuzawa was working as a bodyguard instead of running the agency.

Moreover, he seems to have had some problems during his previous occupation requiring him to use a sword.

Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 episode 2 may see Fukuzawa and Edogawa together find the person who had made the announcement that someone was about to get killed in the theater. While there is a widespread belief that the target is the main actor Tokio Murakami, it could be someone else as well.

Given that the person who sent the letter did not ask the theater for anything in exchange, it could only mean that the culprit only desired their target to get killed. This could mean that one of the side actors could turn out to be the culprit, as they may hope to replace Murakami.

However, given the usual plot for Bungo Stray Dogs, there could be some twists in the tale.

Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 episode 1, titled Lone Swordsman and Great Detective, saw a young Fukuzawa meet Edogawa Ranpo. As he realized that Edogawa had no parents and nowhere to go, he decided to take him to one of his clients, hoping to get him a job.

However, Fukuzawa came to realize that Edogawa was special and had the power to perceive things that weren't normal for others. Upon doing so, he asks Edogawa to reveal what he found out about him, due to which fans get the hint that Fukuzawa was previously an assassin working with the military.
