What! The Port Mafia descends upon a mysterious manor!
Under their leader’s direction, the Port Mafia members, who claim the fictional city of Yokohama as their territory, move to investigate a mysterious manor. The five-member group of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Chuya Nakahara, Motojirou Kajii, Hirotsu Ryuro, and Ichiyo Higuchi search the Oletus Manor in the dark of the night!

From February 2 to March 1, 2023, “Identity V” and “Bungo Stray Dogs” will daringly carry out their second crossover! The quintessential crossover lineup includes Seer S Costume – Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Acrobat A Costume – Motojirou Kajii, Magician A Costume – Hirotsu Ryuro, and Coordinator A Costume – Ichiyo Higuchi, as well as exclusive crossover accessory, portrait, and graffiti. Meanwhile, the crossover Package will launch in store, which includes Prospector S Costume – Chuya Nakahara and Prospector S accessory – Red Wine.

Additionally, as an event marking this second crossover, if you complete “The visitor of the night” you can get wonderful rewards such as Crossover Essence, the Seer’s B Accessory – Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s Mobile Phone. The B Accessory can be upgraded to S or A tier in the crossover event, “ ‘Shock’ of Rashomon.”

Here is something else that is sure to make you happy! Items from the first crossover between “Identity V” and “Bungo Stray Dogs” will be brought back for a limited time. A package from the first crossover that includes the S costume of “Prisoner”- Osamu Dazai, Crossover accessory: S Accessory of “Prisoner”- Dazai’s favorite book, Mercenary S costume – Atsushi Nakajima, and Mercenary B accessory – Tiger Tail will be back in the store and can be purchased exclusively through Echo. Detectives who did not receive crossover costumes in the first crossover can get the Painter A costume – Ranpo Edogawa, the Painter A accessory – glasses, as well as crossover portrait and graffiti via email. The first crossover event will be brought back at the same time, so don’t miss this opportunity!

Port Mafia characters
Akutagawa Ryunosuke is a member of the Port Mafia. His special ability, “Rashomon”, allows him to manipulate a black monster that emerges from the black cloak he wears. He can cut through his enemies by transforming the monster into fangs and blades. What kind of chase will unfold if a Seer who manipulates dialogue with illusions and uses messenger birds puts on the S costume – Akutagawa Ryunosuke?

Chuya Nakahara is one of the five executives of the Port Mafia. He is an agile and very capable practitioner of Taijutsu (a classical martial art form). His special ability, “Upon the Tainted Sorrow,” allows him to manipulate the gravitational vectors of anything he touches. What kinds of sparks will fly if a prospector who manipulates magnetism wears the A costume – Chuya Nakahara?

Motojiro Kajii is a member of the Port Mafia and an explosives expert on the wanted list. All of his lemon-shaped bombs are made by hand. If an acrobat who is also good at making bombs puts on the A costume – Motojiro Kajii, what kind of artistic explosion will occur in the manor?

Hirotsu Ryuro is the commander of the Black Lizard martial arts organization and a veteran of the Port Mafia, having served since the previous generation. His special ability, “Falling Camellia,” causes anything he touches to be flicked away with immense force. If a magician who didn’t deal in eccentric magic puts on the A costume – Hirotsu Ryuro, would he be inspired by the wisdom of the old-timers?

Ichiyo Higuchi belongs to a commando unit under the leader’s direct control and has the authority to mobilize the martial arts organization Black Lizard. She is smart and beautiful and often uses firearms in battle. If a Coordinator member, who always protects comrades with accurate signal gun attacks, puts on the A costume – Ichiyo Higuchi. Will they become even more beautiful?

The Stray Dogs are investigating a mysterious manor once more, and many familiar characters and items have been brought back to create a storm of otherworldliness!
Join the Port Mafia in a chase through the dark of the night during the second “Identity V” and “Bungo Stray Dogs” crossover event!
