"Bungo Stray Dogs" Season 5, Episode 1, titled "The Strongest Man," picks up from the cliffhanger of Season 4, where the members of the Armed Detective Agency are still labeled as wanted terrorists. Additionally, it is revealed that Tachihara from the Port Mafia is also a member of the Hunting Dogs.
The episode begins in a prison hospital with Kunikida, who is severely injured. He is engrossed in a news report about a series of terrorist attacks linked to counterfeit coins from the Sky Casino. Jono, a member of the Hunting Dogs, visits Kunikida with the clear intent of extracting information about the Armed Detective Agency's role in these events. Despite Jono's persistence, Kunikida maintains the agency's innocence.
Jono offers Kunikida the chance to join the Hunting Dogs to prove his innocence, but Kunikida refuses. Meanwhile, Atsushi awakens and reveals his newfound knowledge about the location of a crucial notebook page. He explains that this information came from Sigma's unique ability to exchange information. The elusive notebook page is in the possession of Kamui, the leader of the Decay of Angels.
The drama unfolds as a sniper breaches Kunikida's cell, and Kamui seizes the opportunity to break him out of prison. However, Kamui's true intention is to abduct and murder Kunikida. This sinister plan is thwarted by Ranpo, who, disguised as a member of the Decay of Angels, kidnaps and later rescues Fukuzawa. Ranpo reveals that he has successfully saved all members of the Armed Detective Agency from Kamui's deadly scheme.
Toward the end of the episode, Ranpo explains to Fukuzawa how he initially escaped the police and devised an intricate plan to save everyone. Later, he appears at a press conference originally intended to address an office scandal. He shocks most reporters in the room by playing a video exposing the agency's innocence and revealing the existence of the reality-altering notebook page. The episode concludes with Ranpo's arrest, during which he urges the police to conduct their investigation rationally and reconsider his involvement in the case.
