Bungo Stray Dogs has many characters who are more intelligent than the average person. In this anime, characters wield their own minds as weapons against enemies and sometimes each other. Major events in Bungo Stray Dogs come from the masterminds behind each ordeal, and the characters who deal with such matters dont do so purely through strength, but through intellect.

Characters in the anime are often defined by either their special ability, brilliant mind, or combination of both. Every key organization, from the Armed Detective Agency to the Port Mafia and the Guild, has uniquely rare minds working within their ranks. Some of these minds act individually or use others as pawns in their plans, creating a situation where only another brilliant mind can put the pieces together.
