| ShortSummary = Nakajima Atsushi, a starving, homeless orphan, encounters a man floating down the river who appears to be drowning. Atsushi dives in and rescues the man, who comes to consciousness and introduces himself as the suicidal maniac, Osamu Dazai. Dazai's colleague, Doppo Kunikida yells at Dazai from across the river and ends up treating Atsushi to a meal of tea on rice in a tea house. Atsushi discovers that Kunikida and Dazai work for the Armed Detective Agency, an organization of individuals possessing supernatural abilities. Dazai and Kunikida explain that they are searching for a tiger that has been ravaging warehouses and livestock. Atsushi states that the tiger had been following him throughout his traveling, and ends up posing as the bait to help the two agents capture it. Dazai slips Kunikida a note and takes Atsushi to a warehouse. Atsushi explains how he was kicked out of the orphanage to save money, because the tiger had caused the financially poor orphanage a great deal of damage. Dazai concludes that Atsushi is the tiger, or rather that he has a supernatural power to transform into the tiger under moonlight. The full moon is revealed and Atsushi transforms and attacks Dazai, who reveals his special ability: "No Longer Human", which stops all other abilities when he touches a person. He is able to subdue Atsushi. Not long after, Kunikida arrives at the scene with three other agents. Dazai decides to make Atsushi a member of the Armed Detective Agency.

Dazai and Kunikida play rock paper scissors to determine who would be the one to distract the criminal; Kunikida loses rock paper scissors and attempts to negotiate with the man, but is ordered to get on all fours on the table and is unable to do anything else. Atsushi is dressed up as a newspaper boy and successfully distracts the man from the bomb, giving Dazai enough time to subdue the man. The man still presses the detonator and the bomb starts counting down. Desperately, Atsushi throws himself over the bomb to try and protect everyone else. The bomb does not go off; the whole scene was set up as a test to see if Atsushi was the right kind of person to join the Armed Detective Agency. The President of the Agency leaves the decision up to Dazai, who deems Atsushi worthy to be a member of the agency.

However, these days are soon torn apart, with only a photograph to remember this soon after, as Ango disappears mysteriously and Oda is sent to find him. Oda locates Ango's residence at a hotel and finds a safe hidden in the ceiling tiles containing an old model of a gun -- a Graugeist. Meanwhile, Dazai uncovers an organisation known as "Mimic" with the Graugeist model as its members' emblem, threatening to destroy the Port Mafia. Meeting up later, Dazai recalls the night at the bar, when Ango explained that he just returned from clinching a deal, and deduces that his words were a lie.

Oda recalls the first time he and Dazai met Ango at an accounting facility in the Port Mafia headquarters as he tries to find information related to him, discovering that Ango went to Europe 2 years ago to negotiate a deal and possibly decided to become a double agent at that time. He then heads to Mimic's base after Dazai confirms their hideout and finds Ango tied up there, with time bombs set up all over the building. Oda rescues Ango and assumes that he was sent by the boss to infiltrate Mimic as a spy for the Port Mafia. Using his ability, Flawless, to read six seconds into the future, they manage to escape the time bomb and Ango reveals that the head of Mimic, a man named Gide, possesses a dangerous ability, and how the Graugeist models all contain remnants of their war victims. However, a ball infused with poison is picked up by Oda, causing him to collapse as he watches Ango run away with the soldiers.

| ShortSummary = Oda wakes up in the Port Mafia headquarters, and relays the events of last night to Dazai. Dazai decides to put Ango's departure with the soldiers, revealed to be a separate group of Special Op Corps, aside and focus on dealing with the remaining members of Mimic. As a rookie Akutagawa is injured by Gide, Oda arrives to help him. Gide insists on fighting Oda to create a battlefield for all of them to die with meaning, as both can use the same predictive ability. Oda refuses as he yearns to become a writer someday after quitting the Port Mafia, after he was once inspired by a man named Natsume Souseki to write the third part of an unfinished series as a young man. Later that evening, the three meet one another at Lupin's again. Dazai reveals Ango's true identity as an agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made to monitor the Port Mafia's movements. As Ango's leaves for good, he leaves the photograph of the three of them on the table. The next day, Oda is horrified to find the curry shop owner dead and the children abducted.

| ShortSummary = Ango facilitates a meeting between the Port Mafia's boss, Mori Ougai, and the Head of the Gifted Special Corps Division, Taneda, requesting for the Port Mafia to dispose of Mimic, in return for a black envelope permitting the Mafia to operate legally as a gifted organisation without fear of suppression from the Division. Dazai, knowing that Oda will surely seek out Gide for vengeance, reveals that he joined the Port Mafia to place himself close to his raw emotions under violence, death, instinct and desire in order to find a reason to live his life. Oda nevertheless heads alone to the enemy base, resigning himself to sacrifice his writer's dream as he resolves to kill Gide. Dazai confronts Mori about how he orchestrated everything including allowing Mimic to enter the country and revealing the orphans' locations just to get that permit, with Oda's life as the tool to defeat Mimic for good. As Dazai rushes to the base alone, he witnesses both Gide and Oda collapse from their injuries. Oda advises Dazai as a friend to keep on living as someone who protects people, since good and bad do not mean a thing to him, and dies in his arms. Two weeks later, Dazai quits the Port Mafia and searches for a new job, landing himself in a position at the Armed Detective Agency.

As Nathaniel, Margaret and majority of the workers escape to the pier, they are confronted by Akutagawa, who kills everyone on the spot. Meanwhile, at the chapel, the Agency has split into defensive and offensive teams, with the defensive team consisting of Ranpo, Yosano, Fukuzawa and Kenji.

| ShortSummary = As the Agency has evacuated, Naomi and Kirako are currently being housed in a countryside inn surrounded by the forest. John uses his ability to take control of the forest and capture the girls, but is stopped by Junichirō and Kunikida. As Lovecraft restrains them and John traps the girls, Junichirō uses his ability on a truck driver heading their way on the road to make him crash into John and Lovecraft, allowing Naomi and Kirako to jump onto a train heading towards the city. Fukuzawa informs Atsushi and Dazai to meet up with them at the station. On the train, they accidentally bump into a little boy carrying an ominous-looking doll. When Dazai leaves to confront Gin and Higuchi, they reach the station to meet up with Atsushi. The boy bumps into him as well, revealing his arm stabbed with razors to the point where even the slightest bump would hurt him. The boy, a dangerous member of Port Mafia named Kyūsaku Yumeno, or Q, then activates his ability "Dogra Magra", which allows him to control the minds of anyone who has hurt him, be it intentional or unintentional, by ripping his doll apart. Atsushi manages to knock Kirako unconscious but ends up strangling Naomi. As Q manipulates others' minds through hallucinations, he is once again thrown back into his trauma and cycle of self-pity. 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.
After the events of the day, Kouyou tells Atsushi that Dazai didn't torture her; they made a deal with each other stating that if Dazai were to find and save Kyouka she would wait at the Agency's office, entrusting Kyouka to him. As Dazai meets up Ango to get the Special Operations Division on their side, a car crashes into theirs. Francis attempts to capture Atsushi, only for Kyouka to arrive on the scene.

Francis decides to use the contingency plan, where Q is captured by the Guild, and is connected to all the trees in Yokohama through the ability "Grapes of Wrath". This causes Q's curse to activate on many citizens of Yokohama, causing the city to descend into chaos.

Kunikida is confused on why Dazai is able to do such a thing, and is shocked to learn that Dazai was a former Mafia member. Kouyou delivers the invitation to Mori, who reminisces when he killed the previous boss of the Mafia. During the meeting between the two bosses, they eventually tentatively agree to a temporary ceasefire after a minor skirmish between the bosses.
Dazai is sent to recover Q, with the assistant of Chuuya sent by the Port Mafia. The two wipe out the Guild members protecting Q, with Mori saying that the "Soukoku" has revived for the night. As the two return to the surface they are attacked by Lovecraft. The two seemingly defeat Lovecraft before he changes into an eldritch monster, causing them having to use Corruption.

| ShortSummary = Ango narrates a story of the worst bloodshed incident in Yokohama, where 88 corpses were produced. Prior to the events of the first season, eight years ago, Mori has just taken leadership of the Port Mafia, having secretly killed his predecessor who was showing self-destructive tendencies. Dazai acts as Mori's witness. A year passes, and Dazai is sent to examine strange rumours of the Predecessor's revival within a Suribachi City, a city built in a crater produced after a massive explosion eight years ago. Suribachi is also currently an area of conflict between the Mafia and 3 other organisations: Gernhardt Secret Society (GSS), Takasekai and the Sheep, a group of juveniles. There, 15-year-old Chuuya appears to battle Dazai as the leader of the Sheep, believing that the Port Mafia is looking into the rumour of 'Arahabaki'. Arahabaki was supposedly summoned by the hatred of a tortured soldier and caused the explosion of Suribachi City eight years ago. They fight briefly before witnessing the Predecessor appear before their very eyes. Chuuya is then captured and brought to the Mafia headquarters. Mori decides to have him and Dazai work together, with the Sheep members' lives on the line, to uncover the truth behind the seemingly connected rumours of the Predecessor and Arahabaki.

| ShortSummary = Chuuya and Dazai head to interview a Mafia Executive, Randou, who is the only surviving witness to an explosion similar to Arahabaki's and assumed to be made by the Predecessor. Battling members of the GSS along the way, Randou vividly describes the beast-like entity he saw, allowing Dazai to infer the identity of the culprit. At an arcade, Chuuya bumps into two Sheep members, who insist that he use his ability to fight the Port Mafia until Dazai steps in, releasing the hostages and telling them that Chuuya can freely use his power, and that he is now affiliated with the Mafia. The two bet to see who can find the culprit first, with Dazai confronting Randou alone later that day, as his description matches details that would have been there in the past, but could not be there in the present, concluding that Randou had seen the first explosion caused by Arahabaki and the destruction of Suribachi City. Chuuya then barges in, having arrived at the same conclusion, but from the fact that ever other witness saw the Predecessor but only Randou saw the true Arahabaki. Randou confesses that he was trying to find Arahabaki, which was discovered by the Japanese government eight years ago and sealed, to use its power. At that, Chuuya reveals that he is Arahabaki.

| ShortSummary = Randou uses his ability to create a dimension under his control outside the normal laws of physics to prevent Chuuya's ability from taking effect, revealing that he can also reanimate one corpse at a time within that space as a fighting slave. He proceeds to battle Chuuya while the Predecessor appears to battle Dazai. Together, Dazai and Chuuya manage to defeat Randou, who reveals his true identity as a foreign spy who came to Japan eight years ago with his partner to inspect the reported containment of Arahabaki by the Japanese government. When the two of them fought over its power, his partner was killed and Randou, cornered by the military, attempted to reach out and store Arahabaki within his dimension as his weapon. The release of Arahabaki then formed the explosion. Randou's last words are a guess that Chuuya isn't actually the deity itself, but more of a human vessel to control its power, and urges him to be proud of his strength as a human. The job finished, Chuuya returns to the Sheep, only for them to try and kill him, having allied with the GSS. Dazai discovers Chuuya, having escaped, and approaches him with an offer from Mori to join them to kill their enemies, in exchange for the Sheep members' lives being spared. With no choice, he accepts and decides to join the Port Mafia of his own free will after Mori earns his respect, and is gifted Randou's old hat as a symbol of his membership. Seven years later, Ango is making a note of these events and mentions that Randou's partner was actually still alive, and how Chuuya would confront him soon.

Characters

Armed Detective Agency

Atsushi Nakajima (中島 敦, Nakajima Atsushi)
Voiced by: Yūto Uemura,[3] Lynn (young) (Japanese); Max Mittelman[4] (English)
Named after Atsushi Nakajima. In the story, he is 18 years old, and used to live at an orphanage before the caretakers threw him out. Their words condemning him as "worthless" have since left trauma on him, and drives his will to fight in order to find a reason to live, slowly gaining confidence as the series progresses. His ability is named Beast Beneath the Moonlight (月下獣, Gekkajū), which allows him to turn into a large white tiger with incredible strength, speed, regenerative capabilities and durability, although he has no control and retains no memory if he fully transforms. Later, he learns to change his limbs to that of a tiger to enhance his physical abilities. Despite his lack of confidence, he has a pure and good heart and fights hard to protect others.
Osamu Dazai (太宰 治, Dazai Osamu)
Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano[3] (Japanese); Kaiji Tang[5] (English)
Named after Osamu Dazai. A member of the Armed Detective Agency who takes Atsushi under his wing and is known for being a "suicide maniac" due to his wish to commit suicide and die comfortably one day, preferably with a beautiful woman. Under his carefree and relaxed demeanour though, Dazai is extremely cunning, intelligent, skilled and brutal, once being a feared executive of Port Mafia. His ability, No Longer Human (人間失格, Ningen Shikkaku), lets him completely nullify any supernatural ability by touch.
Doppo Kunikida (国木田 独歩, Kunikida Doppo)
Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya[3] (Japanese); Patrick Seitz[6][7] (English)
Named after Doppo Kunikida. Dazai's partner, known for his meticulous planning, organisation and perfectionistic tendencies. He has a habit of writing and planning everything ahead in his signature notebook, with the front cover labelled "Ideals". This notebook is linked to his ability, Lone Poet (独歩吟客, Doppo Ginkaku), which allows him to bring into existence any object he writes inside, as long as it isn't larger than the notebook itself.
Ranpo Edogawa (江戸川 乱歩, Edogawa Ranpo)
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya[3] (Japanese); Vic Mignogna[8][7] (English)
Named after Edogawa Ranpo. The only Agency member without an ability and a self-proclaimed detective. While he is 26-years-old, and one of the oldest in the office, he lacks basic everyday skills, preferring to focus his intelligence on solving cases instead. His prodigious observational and deduction skills are nicknamed Super Deduction (超推理, Chō suiri) by him, which is supposedly activated when he puts on his glasses.
Junichirō Tanizaki (谷崎 潤一郎, Tanizaki Jun'ichirō)
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Toyonaga[3] (Japanese); Spike Spencer[7] (English)
Named after Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. An assistant at the Agency mainly focused on gathering information, as his ability, Light Snow (細雪, Sasameyuki), allows him to project illusions within a certain area, which is not extremely suited for combat. He cohabits with his younger sister Naomi and treasures her dearly, despite finding some of her antics annoying.
Kenji Miyazawa (宮沢 賢治, Miyazawa Kenji)
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Kagura[3] (Japanese); Lucien Dodge[7] (English)
Named after Kenji Miyazawa. A 14-year-old optimistic and carefree boy hailing from the countryside, he is extremely popular with Yokohama residents due to his honesty and cheerful attitude. This makes him the Agency's primary data collector from eyewitness. His ability is called Undefeated by the Rain (雨ニモマケズ, Ame ni mo Makezu), which grants him superhuman strength when he's hungry.
Akiko Yosano (与謝野 晶子, Yosano Akiko)
Voiced by: Yū Shimamura[3] (Japanese); Erica Lindbeck[7] (English)
Named after Yosano Akiko. She is the medic of the Agency feared for her torturous treatments. While her ability Thou Shalt Not Die (君死にたもうこと勿れ, Kimi Shinitamou koto nakare) allows her to heal any wound, it has a prerequisite for the patient to be on the verge of death, which results in her often injuring her patients thoroughly before healing them.
Yukichi Fukuzawa (福沢 諭吉, Fukuzawa Yukichi)
Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama[3] (Japanese); Jamieson Price (English)
Named after Fukuzawa Yukichi. He is the President of the Armed Detective Agency, as well as Kunikida's mentor. His ability is All Men Are Created Equal (人上人不造, Hito no Ue ni Hito wo Tsukurazu), which allows him to control the abilities of his subordinates. This ability is especially useful for those who lack control over their abilities like Atsushi and Kyōka.
Kyōka Izumi (泉 鏡花, Izumi Kyōka)
Voiced by: Sumire Morohoshi[9] (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)
Named after Kyōka Izumi. A 14-year-old orphan girl who was taken in by the Port Mafia and became their youngest assassin. Her ability, Demon Snow (夜叉白雪, Yasha Shirayuki), materialises Demon Snow, a ruthless sword-wielding phantom that only follows orders coming from her mobile phone, which allows Akutagawa to initially control her ability. Her parents used to be assassins as well, until an enemy attempted to use a body manipulation ability on them. Kyōka's mother, who at that time owned Demon Snow, killed her husband and subsequently herself as she was gradually succumbing to the ability, her last words ordering the phantom to protect her daughter and passing on this ability. However this technique of doing so was incomplete, which resulted in Demon Snow only listening to orders from the phone.
Kirako Haruno (春野 綺羅子, Haruno Kirako)
Voiced by: Mina (Japanese); Abby Trott (English)
A clerk working at the Armed Detective Agency.
Naomi Tanizaki (谷崎 ナオミ, Tanizaki Naomi)
Voiced by: Chiaki Omigawa[3] (Japanese); Erica Lindbeck (English)
Junichirō's sister who has a brother complex and frequently likes to tease him. Although she can be tiresome to her brother at times, she is a capable young woman.
Katai Tayama (田山 花袋, Tayama Katai)
Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura[10]
Named after Katai Tayama. He is an information broker for the Agency.

Port Mafia

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (芥川 龍之介, Akutagawa Ryūnosuke)
Voiced by: Kenshō Ono[3] (Japanese); Brian Beacock[11] (English)
Named after Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. A member of Port Mafia. His ability is called Rashomon (羅生門), a coat that turns into a black beast, which can tear everything apart, even space. While short-tempered, the mention of Dazai finding his subordinates at the Agency more capable than him angers him greatly.
Chūya Nakahara (中原 中也, Nakahara Chūya)
Voiced by: Kishō Taniyama[12] (Japanese); Nicolas Roye (English)
Named after Chūya Nakahara, he is an Executive Member of the Port Mafia and Dazai's former partner. His ability is called For the Tainted Sorrow (汚れつちまつた悲しみに, Yogoretsu Chimatsuta Kanashimi ni), which allows him to manipulate the gravity vector and strength of objects with which he is in physical contact. He's rather short and dislikes being reminded of it, especially by Dazai. He was very happy when he was told Dazai had left the Port Mafia and opened an 89' wine bottle.
