Durarara!! Episode 10 Discussion

Siva said:
I know this is always happened in popular series of the season. You know it is not a bad thing to have people who have read the manga/novel to come into anime discussion. But the thing is they are doing it wrong way they are using information from manga/novel to involve in this anime discussion. Which is why I tried to avoid reading anything from people I don't know to avoid spoiler. If you guys really want to help us who is anime only, you can give a direction/information that is actually happened in the anime NOT the manga/novel one.

As for the conversation in Dollars chat, they are barely give anything real information and we can't just pinpoint anything by something so vaguely. And the narration from Mikado only give us information as much as he spilled out and really has nothing to do with his reaction at the end of this episode. And the people just assume he is the leader of Dollars which is something I don't buy it.

Yeah I know some people would doubt him as the leader or creator of Dollars even after watching this episode.The hints given are not too strong to convince some people that he's very important to Dollars.Unless the anime will tells us the creation of Dollars & who are the creator in upcoming episode.Until there is no definite conformation that Mikado is the leader in the anime,he at this point just a member of Dollars,albeit a special one at least to Izaya.

To hell with everyone who didn't add a spoiler tag! >:(

Oh, great! That REALLY made my day... >_> Even though I enjoyed this episode a lot, especially the last scene, the guys in the 1st page just HAD to spoil it!

I'm so pissed! Maybe I should freaking report the one who started the spoiler without a tag! Aaargh! >:(

And on top of that, they're trying to spoil other anime as well! >_<

Assholes!

You can't undo what's been done. You can't erase it from your memory so just keep quiet.

Then I rewatched episode... it sure says nothing about mikado being a leader, but we can still assume that he is in extremely important position as a dollars, and Izaya came even 'TWICE' wasting his time stumping everything, just to see Mikado. He looked professional, and his mouse skillz were fiery. He presses phone like mad. I think those are enough reasoning for Mikado being leader of dollars, since the only 'special' position we know that dollars has is... leader position.
If he isn't dollars leader... It doesn't make sense for me... :/

Did anyone notice the password on his computer was Baccano ?

ringoo4 said:
So wait, Mikado might not be leader of dollars?...

I just thought it was since everyone was just crying out 'omg mikadooo's dollazu bosss ohnoez!!'.

^^That reminds me, I wonder where the Slasher has been lately.

Lind_L_Tailor said:

Good point, it has been a few episodes.

Anyone got any theories about the slasher?

Julio-sama said:


The Slasher slashed Celty's head! >_>

Seriously, I think that maybe the Slasher is one of those urban legends like Celty. Remember that episode where they confronted each other? They both had red eyes (though not literally. Red eyes were added to emphasize that they're both monsters or whatever).

But I want to know more about the Slasher as well. Maybe after this arc is over, they can focus on the Slasher's character. ^_^

Remind you? Isn't that exactly what i basically said? What's up with slasher?

Anyone else notice that Mikado's password is baccano?

This episode made me laugh so much! Yay for comedy! And the story's picking up too!

ringoo4 said:
My theory on slasher. Since it will ruin some of the enjoying views if I'm correct, it's in spoiler. Reminder that I have never read manga or novel of drrr before.

Kagura89 said:

Seriously,how much people say "notice what Mikado password are" in this episode.Back in episode 6 it is already shown =_=;;

That makes sense to me for my anime watcher pov.I will not say you are right or wrong although I read the novel.That would be interesting if it turn out to be true.

Hahaha, the Slasher topic has returned again.

But you know, after repeated viewings of episode 5, it's seems that:

The person who stabbed Selty is not the same person who made blood splatters of those Yellow Scarves.

Seems like there are two Slashers.
I'd elaborate more, if people around here wanted.

View spoiler at your own risk.

I just need gardeniia to confirm this because I've forgotten.

Monad said:


Sometimes people don't realize the things they see. Celty doesn't have a head how the hell would she have eyes. The eyes you saw are slashers mirrored in Celty's visor helmet not her own eyes.

O_O at the spoiler......it's nuts and so is the sword! How did that happen to be with that person? Family heirloom?

I can't confirm your spoiler, because 1) I didn't look at it because I didn't want to be spoiled, and 2) Even if I'd read it, I'd have no idea whether it's right or not. I haven't read the light novels and I haven't gone searching for spoilers on this subject, so I'm pretty much clueless as to what the 'confirmed facts' are. The only reason I know there are at least 2 Slashers comes from my own speculation, careful viewing, and screenshots.


For me, the fun of watching a show like Durarara!! is coming up with theories and trying to figure things out for yourself or discussing with a bunch of people. So, I just wanted to share what I've figured out about the Slasher to people who might be intrigued.

For people who already know the answers, I don't want to know them.


Note: For screenshots, click 'show spoiler'.

So, as I mentioned earlier, the girl who stabbed Selty was not the same person who stabbed those Yellow Scarves. Time for the proof.



Here is a screenshot of the girl who stabbed Selty. As we can clearly see, she has short hair, a short skirt, and a long katana-like sword. Personally, I think she looks a lot like Anri...

But Miss. Yellow-Scarves-Stabber:



Has long swishy brown hair, a longer dress, and a shorter blade like a dagger. At the end of the episode, we see a girl, also with long brown hair, on her computer. I'm pretty confident these two are the same person.



Moments before this scene, we see that writer who was asking about Ikebukuro's Strongest (a brief flash of his card shows his name to be Shuji Niekawa) coming home calling the brown-haired girl on the laptop. He calls her Haruna.

As Kida warns Anri in episode 5, that perverted teacher who's eyeing her hooked up with another student before, a junior by the name of Haruna Niekawa.

So, to sum it all up: Haruna Niekawa is the girl on the laptop, the same girl who had a relationship with that teacher, and probably the Slasher of those Yellow Scarves. There isn't much we can use to guess who Selty-Stabber is, except for the silhouette, and just basing it on that I think she looks rather like Anri.

The thing is, both Slashers have those glowing red eyes, so it's easy to just group them together and think of them as the same 'Slasher'.

But as these display, they clearly aren't.

PS: Gosh that was long.
