The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Bungou Stray Dogs may be a series that mainly focuses on action and mystery, but that does not mean it has any less melancholic scenes than other anime. The characters all have arcs that follow their past trauma and experiences, where many things are said.

From Kyouka Izumi to Sakunosuke Oda, many characters have experienced complicated things, such as death and murder, throughout their character arcs. The peak of these quotes came from the first half of the first season and mostly the darker tone of the second season. Here are 10 of the saddest quotes in Bungo Stray Dogs.

Updated on August 10th, 2021 by Kit Morris: Though the most tragic moments in the anime came from the first two seasons, there were some sad quotes from the third season that were not included when this list was initially written. Additionally, there are some quotes from the first two seasons that weren’t in the original list but deserve to be.

15 “I Saw A Bright World. I Cannot Go Back To A Time When I Did Not Know Such A Thing Existed.”

Kyouka Izumi was first introduced in the Bungo Stray Dogs as an assassin who worked for Port Mafia. With her ability, Demon Snow, she killed 35 people throughout her life when she should have been spending her life as a normal 14-year-old girl.

However, when Atsushi Nakajima saved her from taking her life as a suicide bomber, she joined the Armed Detective Agency and began to act more her age.

Osamu Dazai, more widely called Dazai, may be renowned for being a suicidal maniac and a womanizer, but he also has a serious side he rarely shows. In Bungo Stray Dogs, during an arc called The Dark Era, Dazai had an entirely different outlook on life and truly was desperate to die.

However, because of a dear friend’s death, he left Port Mafia and went to the Armed Detective Agency. During a fight together with his partner, Doppo Kunikida, Dazai told him how justice has two sides.

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Doppo Kunikida, more widely known by his last name, Kunikida, is a man who lives by his ideals. Because of this, he has a hard time killing others in the name of justice and prefers to harm and not kill. Kunikida’s ideals are tested repeatedly throughout Bungo Stray Dogs.

During a fight where Atsushi was fighting to bring Kyouka back from Port Mafia, Kunikida said this to him, and it came from his own experience.

12 “Do You Think If You Put Your Life On The Line Fighting For Others, Someone Will Stamp A Form Certifying You Deserve To Live?”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Ryuunosuke Akutagawa, who goes by his last name, detests the weak, including the main protagonist, Atsushi Nakajima. One of the things he hates about Atsushi is how Dazai acknowledges him, although he considers him a weak and pitiful weretiger.

This is, in part, because Akutagawa used to be the same, but he was raised harshly, so he learned how to become stronger. He proposes this question to Atsushi during the final fight of the first season, which stirred him up.

11 ” I Often Wonder About That. Do Our Tears Do Any Good For The Dead?”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Before the series began, Kunikida felt responsible for the the deaths of victims that were murdered in a case he was part of. When he and Sasaki went to the cemetery where these victims rested, he explained how instead of crying like he used to, he prefers to visit them.

Sasaki responded by saying these words, which caused Kunikida to tell her that tears are useless and that nothing matters once someone has passed.

10 “People Need To Be Told They’re Worthy Of Being Alive By Someone Else Or They Can’t Go On.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Continuing on from how Akutagawa detests Atsushi for his were disposition, here is a statement from Atsushi that shows his mindset for the entirety of the first season of Bungo Stray Dogs. As a boy who was raised in an orphanage and abused by the director and bullied by the children, his childhood was less-than-stable.

Atsushi struggles with who he is as a person, as well as with an ability he does not know how to control. Because of this, Atsushi hated himself unless he was useful somehow to someone.

9 “If You Place Yourself Somewhere Close To Raw Emotions Where You’re Exposed To Violence And Death, You Can Brush Against Man’s True Nature. I Thought I Could Find A Reason To Live Somehow.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

This chilling quote comes from Dazai during The Dark Era. This quote gives insight as to why he is so obsessed with death, as well as his twisted conception of human nature. The closer Dazai gets to death, the closer he believes he can get to understanding human nature.

Before he said this chilling quote, many thought of him as a comical character. This goes to show his past thoughts on human life and nature.

8 “People Exist To Save Themselves. You Will Understand That At The Moment Of Your Death.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Sakunosuke may have only been present in a couple of episodes of the second season of Bungo Stray Dogs, but he left a big impact on the fandom, as well as Dazai. Sakunosuke was told multiple times he was not fit for killing, and he believed it himself until unfortunate circumstances made him pull the trigger on an antagonist.

This quote shows the sadness behind human nature, as Sakunosuke believed humans are only born to save themselves. This becomes worse in the face of death, which was called back in an emotional scene between him and Dazai.

7 “No One Can Fully Grasp Another Person’s Deepest Emotions. It’s Impossible. Only You Can Understand What You’re Feeling. But Generally Speaking, I Can Tell You This. Most People Tend To Cry When Their Father Dies.”

When Atsushi was a child, he was abused by the headmaster of the orphanage he lived at. Upon learning that the headmaster died when planning to congratulate him for becoming a hero, Atsushi was conflicted.

On one hand, he realized that he only became a hero because of his own painful experiences. On the other hand, he could never forgive the headmaster. When he talked about his feelings to Dazai, this was his response.

6 “The Death Of A Person Is Not Some Number. Everyone’s Lives Must Have Meaning. What’s Written Here Is Something You Can Never Feel From The Words, ‘Three Dead.’ It’s Their Breath.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Ango Sakaguchi is not a well-liked character, as it is partly his fault for why Sakunosuke Oda died. He betrayed him, as well as Dazai, all while acting undercover, albeit it is shown that he did care about him.

This quote gives insight into what people think about after seeing one buried in the ground, and how it cannot do a person justice to show how they lived.

5 “Wealth Is A Nightmare. With Each Coveted Thing We Buy, We Lose A Thing We Dream About.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Scott Fitzgerald was the antagonist of the second season of Bungo Stray Dogs, but he continued as a character even after this.

This is because he turned a new leaf and decided to become somewhat of an anti-hero, and all for his wife Zelda, who could not accept their daughter’s death. This quote shows that no matter how much wealth you gain, it cannot buy happiness.

4 “Whether You’re On The Side Who Kills People Or The Side Who Saves People, Nothing Beyond What You Would Expect Will Appear. Nothing In This World Can Fill This Lonely Hole You Have. You Will Wander The Darkness For Eternity.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

Sakunosuke Oda was a great character who died too early, as many characters do in Bungo Stray Dogs. Before his unfortunate death, however, he did have enough quotes to impact the fandom.

Before dying, Sakunosuke decided to live his life as an author and quit the Port Mafia, until an antagonist killed the kids he took care of. In truth, he was not fit for killing and wished to live a peaceful life. This quote shows the thin line between good and evil, as well as question the morality behind the two.

3 “35 People Have Died Because Of Me. It’s A Sin That I’m Still Alive. Besides, Even If I Returned To The Port Mafia, I’d Be Executed.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

After Atsushi learned that Kyouka was being controlled by the Port Mafia and didn’t actually want to kill any of her victims, he wanted to help her. He was told to bring her to the police but decided to take her anywhere she wanted and give her the best day that he could instead.

The last place that she wanted to go was the police station, feeling that she deserved to die even if she couldn’t do anything to stop herself from becoming a murderer. Luckily, Atsushi was able to save her and she joined the Agency.

2 “It Wouldn’t Have Mattered What Side You Were On Because Anything That I Never Want To Lose Is Always Lost. This Is How It’s Always Been For Me. Everything Worth Wanting Is Lost The Moment I Obtain It. And Nothing I Pursue Is Worth The Cost Of Prolonging This Life, This Suffering.”

The 15 Saddest Quotes In Bungou Stray Dogs

When Ango was revealed to be a triple agent, Dazai and Oda lost trust in him. The three met at the bar they would always spend time with each other at and though Ango wanted to continue his friendship with them, Dazai refused, saying these words.

Dazai talked a lot about how life isn’t worth living throughout the series, but it’s usually in a comedic manner. This time, however, it was much sadder and showed how depressed he really was.

1 “My Dream Was To Become A Writer. I Was Afraid That If I Ever Killed Again, I’d Lose That Future Forever. That’s Why I Stopped. But That Dream Is Gone. There’s Only One Thing Left That I Want.”

Dazai didn’t let Oda go without a fight. When the children that Oda looked after were murdered, he lost his will to live and his best friend tried to be there for him. Oda’s dream of being a writer didn’t matter to him anymore though and the only thing he cared about was avenging the kids.

Dazai tried to convince him not to attack Mimic on his own, but Oda walked away, not caring what would happen to him. No matter what Dazai did, he couldn’t help his best friend and said goodbye in the most painful scene in the entire anime.
