| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah Izaya still up to some clever tricks including tarot cards this episode. Is it just me or is Anri also more cuter this episode than some others?  Mikado also got more daring imo this episode. The influence of Dollars and Blue Squares seems still to be very relevant. |
 |
| lol @ the womanizer's summary to what Mamo's character said. A bit awkward between saika girl and Mamo's character's girlfriend. Especially how that girl became Mamo's character's girlfriend. She thought megane girl is rival. Not showing when she told the megane girl about Mamo's character before? Two "weaklings" trying to change the condition... wow, the womanizer goes straightforward about meeting main guy. Shimono-san's character's brother?! Oh, that's the hard guy Mamo's character couldn't beat. Main guy wants him out of Dollars. Yamaguchi-san's character's left eye seems to be related to saika, too... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The brothers definitely see that coming. Izaya's right, Mikado is turning into something super scary... Masaomi getting all passionate and determined about beating some sense into Mikado's obviously damged logic <3 Loved the Saki-Anri scene~ And yes, Saki. You are weird. Weirdly adorable. Omg Namie, did you not learn anything from the last time you challenged Mikado? Namie. |

| Man this just keeps getting better and better. Mikado keeps getting more interesting and I wasn't a big fan of his. |
| I don't even know what to say about this.....The way things are progressing has me so fucking terrified lol |
| Mikado straight up telling Izumii he doesn't want him in the dollars, whoa. And with those previews, I'm really looking forward to the next episode (I would be anyway though). |
 |
| Mikado's insanity has been way too fun recently. Asking about HW lol And the way he handled Izumi, telling him straight in the face that he doesn't want him with the dollars and stuff. Aoba was mindfucked XD I wonder if Mikado'll use the gun(?) sometime soon? Izumi acting all timid was quite weird to see XD And Izaya's going for the kill? How does he plan to dispose of Shizuo??? |
 |
| Mikado's insanity, finally! We are reintroduced to its majesty. Please, more Mikado. Izaya being Izaya, move onto the next, please. At least he acknowledges that Mikado is a formidable opponent. Bring back Nasujima! Bring back Nasujima! Don't tell me they're going to try and squeeze the entire thing that happens in the LN with him in like three episodes… or cut that entirely… please… I want to see him being more sinister… you can't capture it only finally deciding to revive his parts in the last few episodes, but I bet that's what they're gonna do anyway…  |

| Hide, Mikado the demon's back :3 And sheesh Namie, did you remember last time? Honestly XD But I so badly wanted to knock down Izaya's card tower (￣^￣)ゞ SO HYPED UP FOR THE NEXT EPISODE I started reading the novels too :D |
| Saki and Anri's talk was nice. So was Kida's and that womanizer dude's talk. Mikado's personality is so interesting. 5/5 |
 |
| Lol at when Mikado asked about homework. His character is getting more intriguing with each action. Nice conversation between Anri and Saki. Good episode. |
 |
| Oh yes @ that scene with Izaya and him wanting to destroy Shizuo I know I'll have to wait a couple of weeks but goddammit I can't wait for the final showdown |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| This episode was alright. Had to laugh at the beginning of the episode when the guy with the 'honeys' had to remind the audience who the main characters were... |
| Izaya finally out to destroy Shizuo, Knowing Izaya he probably has something outrageous planned. Mikado truly has changed, He's twisted in a completely decent way xD All these developments are getting me so excited for what's to come, Almost anything can happen at this point. Great episode, Can't wait for the next :D |
 |
| Saki vs Anri(?), a good talk. Izumi vs Ryugamine was amazing but silly I wait a punch although. Izaya want destroy shizuo? Good luck. |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |
| All I can say is DAMN MIKADO! He's definitely a strong character at this point in the anime. He's manipulating people and letting himself get manipulated on purpose and he's just awesome. Excited for next episode |
| Mikado is scary. I used to hate mikado beacuse he was a normalfaq but now he is the king of ikebukuro |
 |
| Quick, someone analyze Izaya's tarot cards. Not quite as exciting as last week's episode, but a decent build up episode nonetheless. Excited to see what Izaya and Mikado do next. |
| A episode meant to set up what's about to come it seems (mostly what mikado will be doing i guess) |
| Anri seeing Masaomi and Mikado as her saviors. Izumi paying a little visit to Mikado. Really wanna see Mikado, Anri and Masaomi reunite again. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| This is what I was waiting for. I'm so thrilled. What will Mikado set up to end this chaos. We gonna see. Izaya remains invulnerable as he is. |
 |
| This is really starting to get messed up now. Mikado has completely lost it (though we knew that anyway). Goodness knows where we're going to end up when all is said and done. |
| wow Mikado is pretty messed up |
 |
| Woah, Mikado's gotten pretty freakin awesome... Also love the Anri and Saki chat, looking forward to seeing what she'll do now that she knows about Masaomi Boss Rokujo, super straightforward, damn though gotta wait another week |
| Mikado has come so far xD man I have no idea what's gonna happen from now on. He's afraid of strong people but at the same time he isn't afraid in the slightest. It was really cool when he said he knew who Aoba's brother was already. I know that it seemed like Izumii gave Mikado some kind of really special weapon but I think he may have given Mikado Celty's head. But I'm probably just forgetting that it's actually somewhere else right now. (If someone reads this can you quote me and tell me where Celty's head is right now, unless we don't actually know of course). When Mikado scared Aoba it was amazing. I have been waiting so long for her to return, second best girl Saki!!! It was so great to see her talking to Anri and that whole scene with the 2 of them just made me smile. After Shizuo x Varona, Kida x Saki is best ship. I can't wait to see if she's gonna have a bigger role in this arc. Rocchi is going to help Masaomi get to Mikado. I've liked him a lot since his fight with Kadota but now he's becoming one of my favourite characters. I like the way he always talks about his honey's too. Namie is challenging Mikado? I might be wrong and one of the bad parts of Durarara for someone who watches it subbed is the texting. But I think Namie was telling Mikado she wanted to face him or she would upload his personal details? Even though he wasn't actually in the chat room. idk Izumii and that guy from the Yakuza, what??? When did that happen xD but it looks like they're being tailed by Akabayashi, Whatever this is all about it should be fun. Izaya recognizing Mikado as someone scary xD But more than that he's taking proper action to get rid of Shizuo. On one hand I don't think it will work because he's never been able to beat Shizuo much like Shizuo hasn't been able to beat him. But judging from the preview of next episode and seeing Shizuo vs Kasane and Varona I'm a little worried but incredibly hyped xD. It's gonna be so good and we might even get Varona to confess :D :D :D :D :D :D :D maybe I shouldn't dream so much but I'd be super happy xD at this point I don't even care that we haven't seen Kadota awake yet because Ketsu has been so amazingly good 10/10 |
 |
| Mikado has became quite a character. Cool episode again. |
| I'm afraid about the fact that Mikado has a gun and his next visitor's gonna be Masaomi. I don't know what to expect from him, he's so... weird. Still waiting for Dotachin to wake up. |
| Yay! An awesome episode after the awful previous one. Hmm why does everyone think Mikado showed his crazy side? He was acting totally normal, and that seemed unnatural for a leader of a gang. I felt ashamed of him, lol, quite a few times! I mean, hey guy, what are you thinking asking about homework? And Aoba doesn't even try to explain to Mikado they don't care for homework, he just humors him, like a child... So Izumii is right, Mikado IS a sheltered kid. It's like he lives in his own alternative reality. I wonder what it was that Izumii gave him that his reaction impressed him so much. It sounded like a gun, but I don't think he'd be that impressed if it was a gun. It absolutely had to be something else, something wild. Aoba was fun this time. He usually keeps such a calculated mask, but this time it kept slipping to show a lot of emotion underneath. P.S. Btw the camero zeroes in on Mikado's phone when they're talking with Izumii. Anyone understood why? My idea was it was recording the conversation, but I'm sure I'm overthinking this... |

| I'm starting to like Saki from this episode, her talk with Anri was really nice. Chikage talking some sense and trying to help out Masaomi was interesting as well. He knows how to get shit done lol |
| Shit my boy Mikado packing heat now. BAMF. No seriously though, good episode Anri cute as usual but somehow weirdly drawn at parts still good though. Saki cute also ready to go to war for Kida. Izaya loving humans even further because he created a monster. |
| Aw, Anri was surprisingly cute this episode and I liked it every time she blushed. Mikado was sort of awesome and creepy(?) when talking to Izumii, "I don't really want you to be in the Dollars" so straightforward Mikado. |
| Mikado's act really reminds me of this guy from Hamatora :o |
 |
| Mikado has become so terrifying! :O |
 |
| You guys are all weird. Mikado terrifying? Mikado behaves absurdly like he's oblivious and a child, I feel so ashamed for him, lol. Why am I the only one? |
| One of the best episodes so far. these people above^^ smh really celtys head??? man I wonder how it would fit in a cast without sticking out... makes you think huh and good to see mikado so respectful of previous leaders of blue square. poor kid hes in over his head now no escaping. |
 |
| Oh, great Mikado's play. It's getting more and more interesting. |
 Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie. |
Ginevra said: to be fair, he's 'still' child. You guys are all weird. Mikado terrifying? Mikado behaves absurdly like he's oblivious and a child, I feel so ashamed for him, lol. Why am I the only one? I'm actually liked this episode. Not many hero who realized their weakness and embarrased enough to relying on other people. Like Mikado, he doesn't have power to battle with Izumi, but he just asking. |

alyya said: I'm actually liked this episode. Not many hero who realized their weakness and embarrased enough to relying on other people. Like Mikado, he doesn't have power to battle with Izumi, but he just asking. Well, my problem with Mikado is that he's incongruous with the events around. I understand this is highly realistic, it's just strange. I feel like people around think him extremely stupid and pathetic, which makes me feel ashamed for him. I just hope he can pull something with his brain, since he doesn't have anything else. |

I just hope he can pull something with his brain, since he doesn't have anything else. You know nothing ... for me who have already read the LN, he's a super scary mindfuck character. Even Izaya said maybe Mikado is using him right now. I understand your opinion, you think that Mikado always relying on other people, he's a loser, he can't do anything and he's not good at fighting like other characters. But dude ... stick to the series, and you'll know why everyone's afraid of him. MIKADO FOR THE PRESIDENT ! |
| This is what I'm looking for a main character Mikado remind me of Gon in Chimera Arc |
| HOLY Mikado got a gun from Izumi WTH!!!!! Mikado scares me 0____0 OMG I now fear the worse for Masaomi T___T Those tarot cards were representation of Mikado, Anri, Masaomi and Shizuo. |
| Ah, I love this show. Amusing as usual. It's more so because of how interesting some of the characters are than the events to be honest. I'm enjoying the developments on Mikado's part. And he's finally got that gun. I can say that, right? I mean, it's pretty obvious. Sorry, if it's not. Izaya is almost alone now. And scheming as always. I'd really like to learn more about his character. Got to get around to reading volume 9 of the LNs. But ahahaha. Izaya has some stuff planned for Shizuo. Oh? Shizuo and Kujiragi? What an interesting combination. Next episode should be interesting. I mean, these past few episodes have been quite interesting since we're hitting the climax (I think). It's sad that they're not including that much Shinra/Izaya interaction. I hope they include some of the big stuff. It's pretty likely at least.

AnimeFan500 said: Those tarot cards were representation of Mikado, Anri, Masaomi and Shizuo. No, they weren't. The tower represents Mikado; The star, Anri; The moon, Kujiragi; The death, Celty and The strenght, Shizuo. I find interesting that Izaya has already selected a card for Kujiragi, even though he had just known about her relevance in the story a few episodes ago. |
| So more development on Blue Squares and how Izumii and the yakuza are involved. Got to see more of Izaya's plans. Anri finds out about Masaomi. Chikage sets out to fix Masaomi's problems. Am I the only one who gets kind of annoyed at Durarara's character significance. Like what happened to: Simon (and all the Russian assassins), That loli girl who had a crush on Shizuo, Izaya's sisters, The Dollars Quartet, Manami, Shinra's Dad's gang or Namie who were all important in the first parts of Durarara. |
