Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 episode 4 will see the plot of the anime go back to the present as the story will introduce a new case for the Armed Detective Agency, with Edogawa Ranpo taking over it alongside his colleagues.

Given that the anime showed us the origins of the Armed Detective Agency alongside the mysterious organization "V," it must mean that the two organizations must be set to take on each other in the near future, with Edogawa Ranpo and Yukichi Fukuzawa in the center.

Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 episode 3, titled The Secret of the Detective Agency's Establishment, saw Fukuzawa rescuing Edogawa with some help from Sakunosuke Oda. The professional bodyguard had found a device used by a national agency, proving that the organization was somehow related to the government.

Later, a member of the organization is seen looking at Fukuzawa and Edogawa as he reveals their intentions. This hinted that the person has some influence on the plot in the present time, which the anime will be focusing on from the next episode.
