Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4: Who’s in the Cast?

By Jivika On Oct 5, 2022

In July 2020, “Bungo Stray Dogs” was added to the HBO Max streaming collection. The show added to the slowly but steadily expanding variety of anime that is now available on the streaming platform, joining shows like “Hunter X Hunter,” “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood,” and a number of others.

In “Bungo Stray Dogs,” the main character is a young man by the name of Atsushi Nakajima. Early in the span of the series, he learns that, like some Bizzaro werewolf, he unconsciously changes into a huge white tiger when exposed to moonlight. In order to make the best use of Atsushi’s special talent, an investigator by the name of Osamu Dazai recruits him into a group called the Armed Detective Agency. They use magic, which almost all of the agency’s members are able to use, to solve crimes that are supernatural in origin and therefore outside the jurisdiction of non-magical individuals.

Three seasons of “Bungo Stray Dogs,” the entire run of the series to date, are currently accessible on HBO Max. A fourth season has not yet been officially confirmed, but there are some indications that it may be released at some time.

What’s the Release Date for Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4?

There hasn’t been any official announcement concerning “Bungo Stray Dogs” Season 4’s production as of now. But despite that, the TV show is based on a comic book series that was published in serial form in the monthly Young Ace magazine (via the Bungo Stray Dogs Wiki). As a result, not only is there more content that may be turned into new episodes but fresh content is also consistently provided once a month.

The third season of “Bungo Stray Dogs” picks up where Chapter 53 of the original manga series left off. According to the Bungo Stray Dogs Wiki, “Bungo Stray Dogs” has around 90 chapters overall. Given that each of Seasons 1-3 averaged 17–18 chapters, there is already enough material for a potential Season 4 if the adaptation of the series proceeds at the same rate.

It has been predicted by users on the “Bungo Stray Dogs” subreddit that a new season won’t likely start airing until at least 2022. However, other fans have hypothesized that Season 4’s announcement would happen later this year.

Who’s in the Cast of Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4?

Atsushi Nakajima, the main character of the television series, is voiced by Yto Uemura. Uemura is an accomplished voice actor for anime who has appeared in a number of other well-known series (via IMDb). He provides the voices for characters such as the shape-shifting senior student Tamaki Amajiki from “My Hero Academia” and Motoya Komori from “Haikyuu!! “, who is a classmate of Kageyama at the All-Japan Youth Camp.

Osamu Dazai is voiced by Mamoru Miyano. His most noteworthy prior roles were those of twin brother Atsumu Miya in “Haikyuu!” and “Death Note” protagonist Light Yagami. In the field of video games, Ryuji Sakamoto’s voice actor Miyano is possibly the most well-known (via IMDb).

The remaining actors in “Bungo Stray Dogs” are Yoshimasa Hosoya as the crooked detective Doppo Kunikida, Hiroshi Kamiya as the crooked detective Ranpo Edogawa, Yu Shimamura as the crooked detective Akiko Yosano, Toshiyuki Toyonaga as the crooked detective Junichiro Tanizaki, and Kisho Taniyama as the mobster the Chu

It is impossible to determine who specifically will return to reprise their roles without official confirmation of “Bungo Stray Dogs” Season 4. Nevertheless, considering their significance to the current plot of the series, it is reasonable to anticipate that the majority, if not the whole, voice cast will return when the show is renewed.

What’s the Plot of Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4?

The last five episodes of “Bungo Stray Dogs” Season 3 are an adaption of the Cannibalism Arc, which is a part of the ongoing plot of the show (via the Bungo Stray Dogs Wiki). The series’ major cast is all named after great authors, including Fyodor Dostoevsky, who is the leader of Rats in the House of the Dead and is known by the alias “Demon” given to him by Osamu Dazai. Fans should anticipate Dostoevsky’s reappearance as the anime develops because he plays a continuing role in the manga series after the Cannibalism Arc.

The Decay of Angels Arc is the name of “Bungo Stray Dogs'” upcoming narrative arc (via the Bungo Stray Dogs Wiki). Decay of Angels, a new criminal organization, is appropriately at its core. Dostoevsky is actually a part of it. The remaining members of the organization are the bad guys Ochi Fukuchi, Bram Stoker, Nikolai Gogol, and Sigma.

The Decay of Angels Arc is still underway as of April 2021, hence it will probably serve as the foundation for all of Season 4 of “Bungo Stray Dogs.”
