Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 episode 9, titled To Dream of a Butterfly, will most likely feature Yosano's backstory as the previous episode hinted at her having some connection to the Port Mafia's leader, Ogai Mori. While Fukuzawa was aware of it and instructed Mori not to pick Yosano as part of the Port Mafia, Mori lied to Yosano.

Meanwhile, the episode could also focus on Dazai and Fyodor as both of them were imprisoned within Meursault, a highly classified containment location in Europe that could be defined as the most secure place for one to stay safe. Thus, the upcoming episode could see the two question one another.
