(Sub) Fortune Is Unpredictable and Mutable is the first episode of the anime series Bungo Stray Dogs season 1. The episode introduces us to a world where supernatural abilities exist and are utilized by organizations for their own gain.

The opening scene shows a man, Atsushi Nakajima, who is homeless and starving to death. He decides to steal a loaf of bread from a market, but he quickly realizes he may have stolen from the wrong people. A group of men with supernatural abilities called the "Port Mafia" surround him and they are not pleased. The leader of the group, Osamu Dazai, saves Atsushi from being executed by the mafia by claiming that Atsushi is his new protégé.

Dazai and his partner, Doppo Kunikida, work for the "Armed Detective Agency" which is dedicated to solving supernatural cases in the city. Atsushi is surprised to learn that Dazai and Kunikida have supernatural abilities too. Dazai, specifically, has the ability to cancel out any supernatural power, which he demonstrates by stopping a car with his ability.

Atsushi is taken aback by the sudden change in his fortunes. He is no longer starving and he has a place to stay with the agency. However, he is a liability since he hasn't mastered his own ability yet. Atsushi has a unique ability that allows him to transform into a were-tiger, but he has no control over it.

The agency gets their first case when a businessman's daughter is kidnapped by a group called the "Guild". The Guild is another organization that rivals the Port Mafia, and they have supernatural powers as well. The agency decides to investigate the case by tailing a member of the Guild.

During the stakeout, Atsushi and Dazai end up in a fight with the Guild member. The fight scenes are intense and show off the unique abilities of the characters. Dazai's ability to cancel out powers is especially useful in this fight. Atsushi transforms into his were-tiger form for the first time during the fight, but he loses control and goes on a rampage. He is eventually calmed down by Dazai.

The agency follows the Guild member to a warehouse where they discover the businessman's daughter. However, they are immediately surrounded by other members of the Guild. The episode ends with a cliffhanger as the agency is faced with another dangerous battle.

Overall, the first episode of Bungo Stray Dogs season 1 sets up an intriguing world where supernatural powers exist and are used by organizations for their own gain. The characters are introduced well and their unique abilities are showcased in the intense fight scenes. The episode ends with a cliffhanger that sets up the rest of the season to be filled with danger and action.
