Bungou Stray Dogs Episode 2 — Free & Limited

: Atsushi attempts to reason with the bomber by talking about his own traumatic past and his love for Chazuke (tea on rice). When the bomber activates the device, Atsushi heroically throws himself onto the bomb to protect the others.

: In a moment of classic series levity, Dazai and Kunikida play rock-paper-scissors to decide who has to deal with the bomber. Atsushi is eventually forced to be the distraction.

: A "bomber" takes a hostage in the Agency's office, threatening to blow up the building.

: The episode begins with Atsushi waking up in a dorm room provided by the Agency. He is quickly summoned by Dazai Osamu, who claims to be in an "emergency"—which turns out to be Dazai getting himself stuck in an oil drum during a botched suicide attempt.

: Reviewers often note that Dazai's frequent suicide attempts are played for laughs, which can be a polarizing element for new viewers.

: At 18 years old, Atsushi's selflessness during the bomb threat secures his place in the Agency. Community & Fan Discussion
