Twilight Goodbye (黄昏のさようなら,, Tasogare no Sayōnara^?) is the 61st episode of Bungo Stray Dogs anime series and the eleventh episode of the fifth season.

Synopsis

The final pieces of Fukuchi's plot snap into place, trapping Fukuzawa in a way not even Rampo could anticipate. At the same time, Fyodor and Dazai's deadly game draws to a close.

Summary

In order to separate Bram from the sword, Aya tries to kill herself to expand the weight in her fall. This causes Bram to recover on his own for Aya's sake. Meanwhile, Fukuzawa wounds Fukuchi and cancels the military orders, stopping One Order from working. Meanwhile, as Fyodor prepares to abandon the prison through a helicopter driven by vampires, Dazai appears, revealing Chūya pretended to be brainwashed to help him and fake his death. With the vampires being freed, the pilot from the helicopter crashes it, taking Fyodor's life in the process. Meanwhile, Fukuchi reveals he started all of his incidents to rid the world of wars and asks Fukuzawa to kill him, accepting defeat. As Fukuzawa is unwilling to kill his friend, Teruko is instead delivering the finishing move on her superior. Few hours after Fukuchi's death, an unknown being related with him is seen facing Atsushi and the now human Akutagawa.
