The Great Gatsby's Ability
A literary misconception with no official power in the Yokohama underworld.
In the world of Bungo Stray Dogs, abilities are typically derived from literary works associated with characters named after famous authors. However, there is no canonical character named Fitzgerald or Gatsby within the established manga or anime series. Consequently, an ability officially titled "The Great Gatsby's Ability" does not exist in current canon records. This entry serves to clarify common misconceptions among fans who may confuse literary references with actual power names.

Lore & Background
While real-world literature like The Great Gatsby explores themes of wealth and illusion, these concepts do not translate into a registered supernatural power within the series' rules. Any mention of this ability in fan discussions is purely speculative or derived from external crossovers that are not considered part of the primary narrative continuity.
In Their Own Story
Kunikida adjusted his glasses, reviewing the dossier on new ability users. "There's no record of a Fitzgerald," he muttered to Dazai. The latter leaned back, smiling faintly. "Perhaps it's just another dream like green lights at the end of docks," he replied, dismissing the rumor as nothing more than wishful thinking among Yokohama's gossipers.
Reader's Guide
This entry does not describe a functional ability because none exists in canon. In Bungo Stray Dogs lore, powers are granted by contracts linked to literary figures. Without a character named Gatsby or Fitzgerald, no such power can be wielded officially. Fans should rely on confirmed abilities like No Longer Human or Beast Beneath the Moonlight.
Did You Know?
- All canonical ability users are named after real-world authors or literary figures.
