While fearing that someone had spied on him and Jouno, Ranpo got Kunikida to blast a bomb at the airport. Upon hearing the commotion, Fukuchi got Tetcho and Teruko to help him retrieve the One Order that was bound to crash into the airport. Fortunately, Ranpo had Ango set a failsafe to stop the Hunting Dogs leader from using the weapon before the vampire attack began.

Fukuchi immediately planned on getting Bram to start the attack. However, Aya had run away with him. Following that, he convinced the vampire to help her stop the destruction.

In Bungo Stray Dogs, we witnessed an intriguing turn of events as Nikolai Gogol and Sigma took action to rescue Dazai and Fyodor from their captivity. Nikolai’s conflicted emotions were evident, as he harbored a desire to eliminate Fyodor but also wanted to avoid acting purely on instinct. This led him to devise a dangerous game, one that could potentially result in fatal consequences for either Dazai or Fyodor if they lost.

The game’s premise was that both Dazai and Fyodor had to inject themselves with lethal poison. The antidote for this poison was in Nikolai’s possession. The two captives were then challenged to escape from their prison, with the promise that the first one to reach the outside would be granted the antidote. All the while, Sigma watched this tense situation unfold in shock and disbelief.
