Bungo Stray Dogs mode draws on 5 characters and every one of them is listed for 2016, so the year tile is dead weight on this board and the solve has to come from visual clues and process of elimination.

Every character here is tagged male, so the gender tile resolves nothing at all until the pool is already tiny.

White hair is the tightest visual filter here, belonging to only 1 of the 5, while black hair is the broadest group with 1.

On eyes, yellow is the rarest tag (1 character) and blue is the most common (2).

Chuya Nakahara and Doppo Kunikida agree on 4 of the five clue traits, and that pair is what decides most failed runs in this mode.

If you only memorise one character first, make it Atsushi Nakajima — it carries the most distinctive clue profile in the Bungo Stray Dogs pool.

Why these characters matter

The anchors worth learning first are the ones with the fewest lookalikes. Bungo Stray Dogs has 5 characters, all listed for 2016, where white hair appears on only 1 of them, while black covers 1 — so a distinctive hair colour is often enough to locate the right cluster.

Learn Atsushi Nakajima first, then the candidate it is most often confused with: Chuya Nakahara and Doppo Kunikida agree on 4 of the five clue traits. That one comparison removes the most common failure in Bungo Stray Dogs mode.
