Appearance and style. Ango always looks tired, often wearing a formal suit and glasses—this emphasizes his bureaucratic role and the image of a "man with papers."
Attitude to abilities. Unlike many heroes, Ango doesn't rely on superpowers: his strength lies in information, analysis, and negotiation.
Rare but crucial scenes. Although Ango isn't always at the center of events, his appearance almost always changes the course of the story: he brings important information, reveals secrets, or forces others to make difficult decisions. Tragedy and guilt. His actions are often driven by guilt for past decisions and attempts to correct mistakes. This makes him one of the most "human" characters, lacking pathos but harboring a great deal of inner pain.

Genres and Tone: This is an urban fantasy with elements of detective, action, and drama. BSD is rich in dark humor and philosophical themes, including questions of life and death, the meaning of existence, and human nature. In a nutshell, the world of BSD constantly teeters on the brink of chaos. Organizations (the Armed Detective Agency, the Port Mafia, the Bloodhounds, the Death of the Celestials, and others) weave intrigues, clash over resources and power, and powerful forces and artifacts (like Kamui) come into play. At the same time, the authors continue to reveal the pasts of key characters and deepen the philosophical themes at the heart of the franchise.

Organizations are like separate worlds. BSD has many factions (the Armed Detective Agency, the Port Mafia, the Guild, the Rats of the Dead House, the Death of the Celestials, and others), each with its own atmosphere, rules, and conflicts. You can play out confrontations or alliances between them. Abilities are the names of works. For example, Dazai's ability, "Confessions of an Inferior Human," refers to Osamu Dazai's novella of the same name, while Akutagawa's "Rashomon" refers to a short story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
The Guild is a group based in the United States. Unlike local Japanese factions, the Guild operates as an international organization with resources and connections beyond Japan. The port and docks are key conflict zones. Due to logistics and secrecy, these areas often become the arena for clandestine deals, chases, and battles.

A Fusion of Styles. Yokohama in BSD is a place where Western and Japanese architecture are closely intertwined. There are ancient European-style buildings (echoes of the era when the port was opened to foreigners), modern high-rises, and narrow old streets. "A City Living at Night." Due to the activity of criminal groups like the Port Mafia and other gifted organizations, Yokohama seems especially dark and tense. The streets are often bathed in neon, it rains, and an air of constant threat hangs in the air. Port and water. Because Yokohama is a port city, docks, cargo areas, embankments, and views of the bay constantly appear in the frame. The water emphasizes the feeling of a large transit hub where various forces and secrets converge.
The Armed Detective Agency office. Located in the city center, it's the "good guys'" base from which Atsushi, Dazai, and the others begin their investigations. The building is respectable but not pretentious—befitting the agency's serious work. Port Mafia Territory. Mafia-controlled areas are the shady side of Yokohama: underground bars, warehouses, and exclusive clubs. They have their own rules, and even ordinary citizens try to stay away. Chinatown. Motomachi District. Sigma's Sky Casino. One of the most spectacular locations: the casino is located high up,

Fyodor Dostoevsky. Leader of the "Rats of the Dead House" group. His "Crime and Punishment" ability allows him to kill with a single touch. A cold-blooded, philosophical antagonist, he sees himself as the arbiter of fate.
Ivan Goncharov. Ability: "Cliff": Allows him to manipulate gravity and create a "cliff" effect—literally erasing sections of space or causing objects to fall into nothingness. Calm and somewhat aloof, he often acts as a destructive force in group operations.
Mushitaro Oguri. Ability: "Writing Conspiracy" (or "Ink Mark Conspiracy"): He can rewrite reality through text—for example, adding new details to documents or changing events by writing them in a certain way. Eccentric, passionate about books and writing, he is also quite dangerous due to the scale of his ability's influence.
Nathaniel Hawthorne. A former member of the Guild, he later joined the Rats. Ability: "The Scarlet Letter": transforms blood into letters that can attack, defend, or inflict effects. A religious fanatic, he believes his power is given to him to judge sinners; he acts strictly according to his moral principles, which can sometimes be cruel.

Sigma

Nikolai Gogol
Who is he: Also from "Death of the Celestials." Eccentric, theatrical, loves to turn everything into a performance.

(Yokohama is a major port city in Japan)

Osamu Dazai. A member of the Armed Detective Agency. His "Incomplete Human" ability nullifies others' abilities with a touch. Charismatic and witty, but obsessed with suicide; he enjoys making fun of others.

Doppo Kunikida. Dazai's pragmatic and meticulous partner, he keeps a diary of his plans. His ability, "Doppo's Poetry," allows him to bring what he writes to life. He tolerates Dazai's antics but strives to maintain discipline among the team.

Edogawa Rampo. A genius of deduction, he calls himself "the greatest detective." He doesn't have a specific ability—his "gift" lies in his incredible powers of observation and logic. He's playful, loves sweets, and enjoys being praised.

Akiko Yosano. Agency doctor. Her ability, "You won't die," allows her to heal severe wounds, but only when on the brink of death. She's strong and straightforward, and can be blunt, but she genuinely cares for her comrades.

Kyouka Izumi. A former Port Mafia assassin, now with the Agency. Her "Snow Demon" ability summons a ghostly demon that attacks at her will. Initially reserved and cold, she gradually opens up and bonds with her team.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa. One of the Port Mafia's strongest fighters. His ability, "Rashomon," allows his coat to transform into black blades capable of cutting through anything. Dark, ambitious, and obsessed with gaining recognition from Ogai Mori.

Ogai Mori. Boss of the Port Mafia. He has no fighting ability of his own, but is a brilliant strategist and manipulator. Calm and calculating, he is willing to make any sacrifice for the Mafia's goals.

His ability is called "Discourse on Decadence" (堕落論, daraku-ron). It allows him to read and interpret memories—not only from people but also from objects. This power has a catch: if the information flow is too overwhelming, Ango's brain temporarily "shuts down" to sort through the data. The ability can also work in conjunction with other events in the story—for example, Ango suggested using it to find Kamui's location by reading the information Sigma sent to Atsushi Nakajima.

Ango serves in the Special Department for Gifted Persons at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, holding the position of Assistant Advisor. His personal preferences include antiques, memories, and materialism. His dislikes, however, include overtime, night shifts, and betrayal.
(Previously, on government orders, he infiltrated the Port Mafia as an informant. Later, also on government orders, he became a spy for the Mimic organization (under Ogai Mori). Thanks to this, virtually all of the Mafia's important and secret information passed through him.)

A tall man (178 cm). Short dark hair, cut so that the bangs regularly expose his eyebrows. Brown eyes, behind which are glasses with a round frame.

Trousers match the coat, and shoes are approximately the same shade as the tie. By nature, Ango is reserved, calm, and disciplined. Compared to Dazai, he is much less impulsive, and compared to Sakunosuke Oda, he is more collected. At the same time, he sincerely values ​​\u200b\u200bboth as friends, and crosses paths with Oguri Mushitaro.
Ango takes his duties seriously, even when acting as an informant. For example, after the Dragon's Head incident, he meticulously documented the lives of deceased mafiosi: collecting information not only on their biographies but also on their family lives, and ensuring that their loved ones learned of their deaths without revealing their ties to the Port Mafia. This demonstrates his deep appreciation for human life. He is reserved, calm, and disciplined. He takes his duty seriously and values ​​friendship.
