3) Why does it matter if anyone found bodies before Shizuo? With the way those men were killed and fact he was near the building at the time he would have been put under suspicion regardless. He just unluckily worsened his situation by getting there before of them. Seems like a minor thing to get hang up on.

That makes sense.

But how could Izaya predict WHEN Akane reveals that he was the one who set her up to attack Shizuo? He had no way to know when she does it. She fell ill, was treated, had a nap, etc. I thought a lot of time has passed. So the timing of the trap was just too lucky.

In my opinion, Shizuo could as well end up going to the trap scene well after the bodies were found and cleaned up.


Ah, but in this case Izaya wouldn't have predict anything if... say he learn of a plan to kill these guys that night prior? :)

All he would have to do is just make use of opportunity. I won't say anymore due to spoilers.

The animation quality though ... it hurts T_T
Thought we would see more Kida ... but nope :( Only a bit of him and Saki ... *sigh*
A little more excitement with Aoba admitting to Mikado they're the Blue Scarves. Wasn't expecting him to try and convince Mikado to become their leader though ... still not entirely sure why, but hey it'd be pretty cool if he did it! Too bad that's probably not gonna happen :(
Izaya being a troll like always and using Akane like that :P Seems like she's off to meet people with Anri. Shizuo getting turned away by a simple sheet of paper XD Seems like Kodata knew what was going on with him being followed too. Not to mention who took out all the Russians ... and we've also got Vorona watching Celty who is in turn watching the action in the warehouse!
In any case, hopefully next episode's is more interesting (though I feel like I say that every time and it never is lol >_<)

Shizuo's reaction to Izaya's name was the best. That smile XD And Akane is so cute~

But now Izaya has set Shizuo up. Great. I hope Izaya gets beat up by Simon again.

Anyway, so blue square stuff is getting interesting. Unfortunately the animation is still...far from perfect.

Loved Shizuo's reaction to Izaya's name. I feel like I won't be far off when guessing that it was him that set up Shizuo.... again. XD

You know shit's about to go down when both Shizuo and Mikado start smiling.

Ah, everything's coming together:
Izaya taught Akane all the stuff she knows, so Shizuo went to find him, but instead, he gets caught by one of Shiki's men.
Shiki is the one who requested Celty to get Akane, but Vorona is after both Celty and Akane, who's with Anri right now.
And Anri's waiting for Mikado and Aoba, but Aoba's too busy being Blue Square that he started a war in the name of the Dollars.
This led to Chikage following Kadota.

Aaaaand the fights are about to begin!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Mikado has a boring life and he is boring to himself, so he seeks external excitement to fill the void. This doesn't make him particularly deep, it's quite normal and it means he doesn't find his life satisfactory.

We'll see if he figures out that he's being prepared to use as a puppet and a sacrifical lamb and how he deals with it. I really want to see the likes of Aoba and Izaya thwarted! Haha!

Excellent episode.

I'm thinking Izaya knew that the little girl is wanted by multiple people, so to protect her (or use her for something later), why not send her to the strongest man in Ikebukuro? That's why he sent her to Shizuo, because he knew Shizuo wouldn't leave a little girl alone like that. Genius. Even more so when he has Shizuo framed for some shit that went down before he got there. As to why, I have no idea.

Really looking forward to what's going to happen next with Mikado, Aoba, Celty, and Verona/Sloan in the warehouse district as well.

The idea, I guess, is to protect the girl by forcing Izaya to face off against the people who are planning to kill her....

The Blue Squares thing was most surprising, but that smile tells all: he really is a "complicated" person who loves danger and unexpected events, but I am looking forwards to some novel solution....

And it's been a while since I read the LN but IIRC this was how vol 5 ended right? So it looks like they are doing 4 eps per volume.

I can't wait for the last remaining episode. It seems they at least will end up to the last of volume 6 which is quite regretful since it's where everything get exciting....those LN readers knows what I mean....Well, I just have to wait for 3 months until the second cour of this season ^_^. That is nothing compared to how much I waited for this series to get a season 2.
It's not a matter of talent. It's a matter of will

Man, this episode was so darn good, I think the season is already on the best level of S1 if not better.

Honestly, Izaya in the end resembled so much a moment from a very famous game, and he was at least as epic as the villain from that game.

Also Izaya making a fool of Shizuo was so hilarious, lol.

What is Blue Square guy plotting? If I was Mikado I'd send them to get their beating from Rokujou's band.

Rokujou was funny in that Gallery! Walker being blacklisted LOL!!!!!!!
I was nervous when Rokujo was following Walker and then Dotachin, don't fuck with Dotachin's crew! Gotta resolve this shit!

The guy with Vorona might be the one who killed those 3 guys to frame Shizou, knowing Izaya anything is possible.

Akane looks like she's Anri's little sister tbh.

Blue squares?! The same one who fought against Masomi? This might become ugly soon. And mikado looks like he'll be showing his true colours very soon.

Shizuo pressing the doorbell so many times his finger was bleeding? And it turned out that it was just a note posted on the door that the company had moved. Too funny!

So interesting that Mikado was smiling when the Blue Squares were talking about him becoming their leader. What's it mean? is this Mikado's true desire?

Shizou still best character, that was too damn good.
I wonder what Mikado will turn into eventually, he's acting like a semi-pussy but he might just be the craziest dude in the show.

What's up with Mikado? Will he actually accept their offer to be their leader? He seems like hes really enjoying the prospect of it, dat smile @_@.

Also Izaya really screwed over Shizuo this time, I wonder why he decided to just randomly target him all of a sudden. Either way he may actually end up dead after this is all over lol...

But yeah, lots of build-up, its definitely gotten me excited for the next episode.

Shizuo got framed by Izaya.. I'm not sure but I think this already happened once? I think in the season 1?

anyway I hope Mikado accepts the offer. Though I did not expect Aoba to offer the position of leadership to him lol. I thought they were gonna beat him up.

Shizuo really held back in the room and when he didn't knock the door down. I guess he's gotten a little better. But I'm surprised he fell for such an obvious trap haha.

  • How can Masaomi be so expressive in a chat?? Well, Izaya is the same way... HOW!? xD
    "YAYYYYY"

  • WAIT WHAT!??? SHIZUO JUST SMILED!? WTF!???? WTF!>/?!?D/dsdsf

  • Damn it, the Blue Squares again!? Damn, those guys were really scary and Aoba is also scary...

  • Motherfing Izaya... he set up Shizuo AGAIN!! All of Shizuo hate towards him is so justified...

  • Mikado is... smiling??? This city has already begun changing him...
    So... Aoba's plan all along while following Mikado was to test him so he could be their leader?
    The plot started to unravel... and oh, I expect even bigger revelations.

Masaomi is sorta back.

Aoba came 50 deep to Mikado's crib.

Anri oppai on point.

Once Anri said "He gave it to me saying I could kill him with this." I knew it was Izaya. lol

Shizuo really fell for that sign. lol

That gallery lady is cute.

LMAO at Chikage telling the owner to pay for it.

Susie Yasuda. Reference to Suzuhito?

LMAO at Walker being blacklisted.

Izaya played Shizuo. lol

Mikado is smiling.
