Alongside the release of the key visual, Bungo Stray Dogs revealed the season 4 release date for January 2023 of the Winter 2023 anime season. The key visual depicted the Armed Detective Agency, led by Atsushi Nakajima, taking on the Hunting Dogs, led by Ochi Fukuchi. The two groups seem to be waging an all-out war in Yokohama city, where sparks are soaring.

The Hunting Dogs is a Grade-A squad built for special tactics and suppression duties. They are a team formed by the government as a special military division tasked with hunting down and capturing ability users when they begin abusing their powers for criminal or terrorist actions. This makes the Hunting Dogs one of the most powerful military units available to the government.
