BUNGO STRAY DOGS THE MOVIE : DEAD APPLE / FULL MOVIE REACTION

6 years ago, the most violent struggle in Yokohama was "The Dragon Head Conflict", which involved many organizations and resulted in 88 deaths. The night before its conclusion, when Osamu Dazai was still in Port Mafia, he and Chūya Nakahara discovered a man named Tatsuhiko Shibusawa. In the present, the Armed Detective Agency is called upon to investigate the apparent suicide cases of hundreds of supernatural ability-users around the globe, which occurred when a mysterious fog passed over their countries. The Special Operations Division deduce that this incident is tied to Shibusawa, now a self-proclaimed "collector". The night before the Agency is to commence operations, Atsushi Nakajima has an unsettling dream of his past in an orphanage, where an out-of-place door painted with a white tiger is engulfed in fog. He is awakened by his roommate Kyōka Izumi, who also dreamed of fog. The two soon realise that Yokohama has been engulfed in the mysterious fog, and everyone but the various ability-users have disappeared from the city.

Kyōka and Atsushi meet with their superior Doppo Kunikida, who reveals that the deaths of ability-users were due to their abilities turning on them. Shibusawa is revealed to have created the fog to draw out Yokohama's gifted, turning their abilities into jewels for his collection while powering the fog. He has allied himself with Dazai and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Kyōka and Atsushi make contact with government agent Ango Sakaguchi, who had located the Agency's other ability-users, all of whom are fighting their own abilities. As Kunikida leaves to fight Doppo Poet, the duo encounter mafia member Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, who is fighting his ability, Rashōmon. While each of them duel their own abilities, Atsushi deduces that subduing the ability involves destroying an embedded jewel in them, and defeats his white tiger. Kyōka faces her fear of merging with Demon Snow to become a killing machine, and resolves to save people with her ability. Akutagawa is forced to think outside the box when combatting his ability. Atsushi is unable to use his ability, so Kyōka and Akutagawa decide to journey to Shibusawa's base alone.

Fyodor finds two jewels: one which can summon all gifted within sight, and another which can crystallise abilities after their users have died. Dazai, who was secretly working against Shibusawa, nullifies them, depriving the fog of its power source. However, having anticipated this, Shibusawa stabs Dazai with a poisoned knife, intending to steal his ability and transform Dazai into the core of the "dragon" – the chaos of all special abilities – to destroy Yokohama. As the dragon is summoned, it wreaks havoc. A gifted agency in London called Order of the Clock Tower dispatches a fire gifted to Yokohama in order to destroy the city with the dragon to prevent it from spreading. However, Ango contacts Chuya, who releases Corruption and successfully destroys the dragon and revives Dazai.

Fyodor slits Shibusawa's throat, allowing him to regain his lost memories, just as Atsushi looks within himself and resolves to open the white door within the fog. Atsushi remembers that when he was a child, he was tortured by Shibusawa to draw out his ability – the "tiger" and the antithesis of all special abilities. However, the torture backfired and Atsushi lost control of his ability from that point onwards, turning into a tiger and killing Shibusawa in the past. Despite this trauma, Atsushi accepts his actions and powers and recovers his tiger persona. Atsushi rushes to Shibusawa's base, his power having returned as the latter revives, stronger than ever, to battle Atsushi, Kyōka and Akutagawa. Together, these three permanently defeat Shibusawa. Fyodor remains in the shadows, stating he has yet to accomplish his objective.
