Synopsis

A phenomenon causes ability users' powers to manifest as independent entities and turn on the people they belong to, with a mysterious mist spreading across the city and a man named Shibusawa orchestrating the collapse. Atsushi and Akutagawa are forced into cooperation neither wants, and the Armed Detective Agency's usual structure disintegrates as members lose control of the abilities that define them. The film escalates into large-scale destruction while examining what these characters actually are without their powers. Every character loses control of the thing that defines them, which is the point.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
Produced by Bones and adapted from Kafka Asagiri and Sango Harukawa's manga, Dead Apple is an original story set within the Bungo Stray Dogs continuity rather than an adaptation of existing chapters. The franchise built its identity on reimagining literary figures as supernatural combatants, a hook that has kept it distinctive across many seasons. The film's animation quality was widely praised as a significant step up from the television series, particularly in its extended action sequences. Its extended action sequences remain among the strongest the franchise has produced.
