Summary

A flashback is seen where Oda is giving his last message to Dazai which is to be on the side that saves people.

Dazai visits Oda’s grave.

At present, Atsushi is looking for Dazai. He finds Dazai sitting beside a gravestone with the initials «S.ODA» engraved on it. Dazai then asks Atsushi if he knows whose grave lies there. Atsushi replies that he doesn’t know but tells Dazai that they must be important to him. Dazai asks why he thinks they are important to him. Atsushi replies that it is the first time seeing Dazai visit a grave and asks if it was a woman he liked. Dazai responds that if it was a woman, they would have died together. He then tells that it is his friend that lies there and the reason he left the Port Mafia and joined the Armed Detective Agency but suddenly brushes it off as a lie. He then asks Atsushi if Kunikida ordered him to find him. Dazai then passes for the meeting and tells Atsushi he wants to try a little suicide method while leaving the cemetery.

Kunikida giving a brief report on the case.

At the agency office, Kunikida is giving a brief report about a mysterious case on ability users. He then shows the agency surveillance from Taiwan in which a fire ability user was burned to death after a fog disappeared. The next case was a card ability user from Singapore and an ice ability user from Detroit which are both killed by their abilities. After the presentation, Kunikida then asks Atsushi where Dazai is. Atsushi replies that Dazai passed on the meeting to try a new suicide method.

Fukuzawa accepts the investigation on Shibusawa.

Tanizaki asks if all the ability users will die if they touch the fog. Yosano also raises a question as to how this case is related to them. Kunikida then tells them that it is an investigation request from the Special Division for Unusual Powers and that they have information on a man that may be related to the case, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa which is also called as «The Collector». Fukuzawa tells the agency that they will take on the case and investigate it to ensure the safety of detectives and the stability of the population of ability users.

Tanizaki and Kunikida are seen walking at the warehouse street. Tanizaki asks Kunikida if the case is even possible to which Kunikida replies that he also isn’t sure but the Special Division for Unusual Powers must have information about the case. They both then arrive at the place where they are supposed to meet a Special Divisions agent. However, they found the agent dead and evidence left by the criminal which is an apple pierced by a knife.

Summary

Dazai saying that suicide is wonderful.

A flashback is seen where Dazai is at the Bar Lupin and asks what toast shall they make that day. Oda replies if they weren’t going to wait for Ango. Dazai then proposes to talk about the world and asks Oda if he knows about apple suicide. Oda confusingly replies with Cinderella. Dazai then replies that it was an unexpected answer from Oda. Oda then continues to tell that if it was about poisonous apples, then it is Snow White. Dazai then ponders if Snow White intended it to be a suicide knowing that it is a poisoned apple and still bit it. Oda then asks the reason why she would do that. Dazai replies that it was «despair», maybe from the maltreatment of her mother, and tells Oda that the world is full of despair that why it is such fun. Dazai reveals that he met a person that can make people kill themselves through apple suicide and tells that suicide is wonderful. Oda then tells Dazai that he has an interesting way of thinking.

At present, Dazai is at the Bar Lupin mumbling that Oda is right that it is wonderful to save people as long as he is alive to do it.

Kyōka approaches Atsushi.

Meanwhile, Atsushi wakes up from a nightmare. Kyōka knocks on Atsushi’s place and asks if the mist had come into his dream. Atsushi then remembers it from his dream and quickly stands up from his bed and opens the window from their room. What they saw outside was a huge fog that covered Yokohama. Kyōka then tells Atsushi that they have to go to the agency office. Atsushi, panicking, tells Kyōka to call first and to get instructions. Kyōka flips her phone to call, but unfortunately, the call was not connected.

Fyodor declaring that the event is a test.

Dazai then inserts a pill into his mouth and leaves the bar. After leaving the bar, he was stopped by Ango. Dazai asks if he came to drink but Ango says he came for work. Guards from the Special Divisions of Unusual Powers cornered Dazai. Ango then tells that Shibusawa had come to Yokohama and asks if it was Dazai who is responsible and if he really believes that ability users are committing suicide.

A huge fog appears and Dazai turns around with Shibusawa appearing behind him. Fyodor is seen standing at the top of a building telling that it is a test from God to people who go against the dead’s happiness and that everyone’s pain will serve for the purpose of God’s amusement.

Synopsis

Power users around the world are suddenly committing suicide one after another, in all cases after a strange fog appears at the scene. At a request from Ango Sakaguchi, the Armed Detective Agency head out to investigate Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, a power user who calls himself «collector,» and a man suspected of being tied to the incident.

Summary

Chūya and Dazai confront Shibusawa during Dragon’s Head Conflict.

The night before the bloody 88-day-long Dragon’s Head Conflict ends, Dazai and Chūya from the Port Mafia confront a white-haired man. Chūya demands him to return his comrades, only for the man to quip that they have killed themselves. Ridden with fury, Chūya activates Corruption and wreaks havoc, while an ushanka-wearing man amusingly watches nearby.

Six years later at present, Kunikida briefs the Agency (sans Dazai) on ability users all over the world killed by their own powers after a mysterious fog emerges, recognized to be serial suicides. Hence, the Special Division for Unusual Powers requests the Agency to capture Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, a suspected man related to the case. At night, Kunikida and Tanizaki head out to meet with a Special Division informant, but they soon find the man dead. They also notice an apple pierced with a knife at the scene.

Yokohama engulfed in the fog.

In Bar Lupin, Dazai chats with Oda by himself about the recent trend of apple suicide. Oda indulges his typical chat, and Dazai praises Oda’s interesting thinking as always. Dazai soon takes a pill and leaves an apple pierced with a knife on the counter. Outside, Ango suspects Dazai for bringing Shibusawa to Yokohama, just as the latter generates the fog from behind. Atsushi dreams of the orphanage staff spiting him, behind them appearing a mysterious door where fog emanates. Later, he and Kyōka find the streets engulfed in the mysterious fog, where almost everyone has vanished. They also realize that they cannot activate their abilities.

Along the way, the two find the wounded Kunikida, and they take shelter nearby. While Demon Snow chases after them, Kunikida tells the two that ability users do not commit suicide, but are rather killed by their own abilities. They soon arrive in the ransacked Agency and communicate with Ango, who directs them to Skull Fortress where Shibusawa has been located and requests them to eliminate him. As Ango informs them that Dazai seems to be with Shibusawa, he implores them to save Yokohama, before getting cut off. Ango then orders an agent to summon Ability User Number A5158, while Kunikida battles his ability to let Atsushi and Kyōka get away. In Skull Fortress, Dazai, Shibusawa, and Fyodor are revealed to be collaborators, albeit having mutual mistrust for one another.

Atsushi, Akutagawa, and Kyōka face their respective abilities.

As Demon Snow catches up to Atsushi and Kyōka, Akutagawa gets shoved at them by his ability, and the three are cornered by their respective powers. While fleeing to an emergency passage, Akutagawa informs them that defeating their abilities is the only way for their powers to return. Though their ideas initially conflict with one another, the three end up going through the passage altogether. Shibusawa shows Dazai and Fyodor his collection of various crystallized abilities thanks to information he obtained from Fyodor. Nonetheless, he laments not having the «ultimate ability» in his collection.

Atsushi, Kyōka, and Akutagawa arrive back on the streets through the passage, where they battle their abilities once more. Atsushi surmises that destroying the jewel embedded in their abilities may defeat them, which the three manage to do. Kyōka and Akutagawa retrieve their powers, but Atsushi does not. Akutagawa and Kyōka hint how his ability does not return due to his strained relation with it, after which they head to the enemy’s base nearby. A5158, who turns out to be Chūya, arrives per Ango’s request. Though he chides the Special Division for covering up Shibusawa’s crimes in the Dragon’s Head Conflict after their plan to use him in ending the dispute backfired, he accepts the job with Ango’s life to pay in return.

Dazai stabbed from behind.

With Shibusawa not around, Dazai and Fyodor reveal their alliance with each other. They come up with a way to starve the fog of its energy, which Dazai manages to initiate with his nullification ability. Having anticipated this, Shibusawa stabs him with a poisoned knife and acquires his power. To his dismay, Dazai’s disabling ability produces a singularity with the merging ability.

The door appears to Atsushi as Fyodor tells Shibusawa that his lost memories will never return. Slashing through Shibusawa to make him recall his death, Atsushi opens the door and sees what happened in the past: when Shibusawa tried to force out Beast Beneath the Moonlight — the «ultimate ability» — from him, the child transformed into the tiger and clawed through Shibusawa’s skull, killing him. Upon his death, Shibusawa inherited his own ability when he parted with his body, albeit at the cost of his memories.

Activating Corruption, Chūya faces the Dragon, the incarnation of the chaos of special abilities.

As Fyodor reckons how his ability never left him in the fog because crime and punishment complement each other, a dragon emerges from the abilities made incarnate. Chūya arrives upon Skull Fortress to subdue the target, though Ango worries for Chūya having to use Corruption without Dazai. Chūya assures him that Dazai is still inside, before hanging up. As he battles the dragon, he manages to enter its core, where he finds Dazai and punches him, revealing that he has previously taken an antidote pill. Dazai nullifies Corruption, rendering Chūya debilitated from its effects. Nonetheless, the fog still has not lifted, and Fyodor craftily revives Shibusawa by turning him into the singularity.

The fog spreads, estimated to engulf the globe within 168 minutes. The Order of the Clock Tower, an English gifted organization, contacts the Special Division that they have deployed an incineration-type ability user to destroy Yokohama to prevent the fog’s spread. Meanwhile, Fukuzawa and Mori retrieve their powers by defeating each other’s abilities. Akutagawa and Kyōka confront the much stronger dragon-hybrid Shibusawa, while Atsushi makes amends with the tiger and gets back his ability.

Atsushi clashes with Shibusawa.

With their combined efforts, especially with Atsushi’s tiger ability that Shibusawa considers to be the antithesis of all abilities, Shibusawa dies permanently. The Order of the Clock Tower aborts their attack, while Ranpo, realizing and accepting that he is a non-ability user, returns back from getting vanished in the fog, as do the rest of the Agency and everyone else.

In the epilogue, Ango is relieved that no civilians were harmed, though he and his comrades have only begun their task of covering up the large-scale incident. In their base, Mori praises Chūya for his contribution in returning the peace of Yokohama. Though he was entertained by recent events, Fyodor states how he still needs the book resting within Yokohama for his grand malevolent scheme. With the Agency back in business, Atsushi and Kyōka head out of headquarters for an assignment.

The main cast from the anime will remain with Kazuya Nakai starring as Tatsuhiko Shibusawa.
