The manga Bungo Stray Dogs shocks everyone by killing 3 main characters

In chapters 117 and 118 of Bungo Stray Dogs, several main characters were killed, leaving readers shocked.

One of the most underrated seinen mangas ever, Bungo Stray Dogs is a thrilling mix of supernatural action and suspenseful mind games. It is also often criticized for not killing off its characters or bringing them back from the dead.

Despite the complaints, no one was prepared for so many main characters to die within just two chapters. In chapter 117, titled “Understood,” we see Bram finally die, leaving Akutagawa behind to protect Aya.

But that’s not all. Towards the end of the chapter, Kunikida and Tanizaki face the mysterious Ame-no-Gozan while Atsushi rushes to their aid to stop them, but he arrives too late. In a shocking scene, Kunikida is gruesomely killed while Atsushi saves Tanizaki in time.

However, the bad times are far from over. In Bungo Stray Dogs Chapter 118, titled “Mystifying Being,” Tanizaki tries to avenge Kunikida, but dies in front of Atsushi. But things start to improve – at least for a while – when Kenji and Suehiro arrive on the scene.

It doesn’t last long, however, as Kenji is slaughtered to death while Atsushi looks on in horror. Within two chapters, he has lost three colleagues (who he considers family) from the Armed Detective Agency. Needless to say, he is desperate.

But Atsushi isn’t the only one mourning the deaths of Kunikida, Tanizaki and Kenji. Fans are equally shocked that three main characters in the Bungo Stray Dogs manga have died. As one wrote on X: “None of us know what’s happening, but we know we’re all sobbing.”

“I’M CONVINCED THAT ASAGIRI AND GEGE SWITCHED BECAUSE WHY THE HELL DOES JJK GET A HAPPY ENDING AND SUDDENLY EVERYONE DIES IN BSD??” another user commented, referring to Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami.

“He decided not to kill Chuuya and Dazai, but at what cost…?” added a third.

A fourth chimed in: “Noooo, my child! Asagiri, why are you doing this to them? Just look at their little faces. I want to die – I’m still not over Kunikida and now you’re destroying the sunshine of BSD.”

It looks like Bungo Stray Dogs has finally escaped its “no killing” accusations. Before the members of the Armed Detective Agency die in chapters 117 and 118, Teruko was gruesomely killed in chapter 115. Now fans are left to wonder which character will die next.
