Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 episode 8, titled Land of Inhuman Demons (Part 1), saw Kenji use his innate powers to defeat Tetcho.

Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 episode 8: Why Kenji should not be angered
Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 episode 8 saw the fight between Kenji and Tetcho resume. While Tetcho dominated the fight, when Kenji heard that Atsushi had been apprehended by Teruko, he became extremely angry. From a flashback, the anime revealed that despite how it looked, Kenji wasn't as docile as people thought he was.
There was an unwritten rule in Yokohama, which stated that one must not anger Kenji. Apparently, he had previously stopped a landslide on his own to protect a village. He accidentally killed one of his friends during the incident and had no recollection of it. This meant that he was completely out of control when he got angry.
This was followed by Kenji defeating Tetcho at present and the two ability users sharing their names with each other.

Elsewhere in Meursault, Osamu Dazai seemed confident that he would be able to defeat Fyodor and Chuuya. He revealed that he kept regular contact with Ango using his heartbeat which Ango would decipher. Additionally, Ango had an ability user stop time every morning so that Dazai could prepare for his eventual encounter against Fyodor and Chuuya.
Therefore, he managed to change the security codes at the prison, causing Fyodor Dostoevsky and Chuuya Nakahara to lock themselves in after they typed in the incorrect security codes. Their room was blocked with an anti-ability wall and flooded with water. With that, Dazai managed to defeat the two.
