The second season of the Bungo Stray Dogs anime television series is produced by Bones, directed by Takuya Igarashi and written by Yōji Enokido.

The kid, a dangerous member of Port Mafia named Kyūsaku Yumeno, or Q, then activates their ability "Dogra Magra", which allows them to control the minds of anyone who has hurt them, be it intentional or unintentional, by ripping their doll apart.

Dazai, who initially refused an offer relayed by Higuchi to rejoin the Port Mafia, is told of Q's release and hastens back to stop them.

Poe promises that if Rampo solves the mystery, he will give the Agency an envelope detailing the Moby Dick's structure and the Guild's weaknesses.

As Rampo is left without his glasses, he loses all confidence in himself until Yosano is attacked, reigniting in him the courage to actively solve the mystery.
