Well, I hope you didn’t die and you just got tired of anime.
Sayonara, amigo.
About Aoba... I think I don't get him anymore. I thought he had an aspiration of being a grey cardinal himself, his manipulation of Blue Squares via his brother proved that he prefers that style of manipulation to being a leader in public. But right now he just plays a second fiddle. What does he get out of this arrangement?
That said, I remember that he was doing great as a public leader, unlike Mikado he could be a public leader when the situation called for it.
So, if he can't be a manipilator in the shadows now, what's his goal? For a while I thought that he wanted to "promote" Blue Squares to the most powerful "sub-clan" in the Dollars and then claim himself to be the leader of the Dollars. Noone would know better, Mikado's identity is a secret, after all. Aoba even attempted to put Celty in the forefront to make their group more popular among the other Dollars members. I thought that he was the one to put out Kadota specificall for this occasion. But I'm not sure, there's nothing to suggest for sure that taking over Mikado's position and status is his plan.
I know one thing: the whole gangwar thing is the most interesting subplot in DRRR for me now. Saika sisters, etc.? Ridiculous and insignificant.
What puzzles me so far is Izaya's interaction with Mikado in ep.3. Why was Izaya so ecstatic that Mikado hasn't changed at all? I just don't get Izaya anymore. The only tentative theory I've got is that Izaya enjoys it when his predictions are wrong. He predicted Mikado to be swayed by all that happened into changing, but Mikado is still the same, and Izaya is delighted that someone didn't conform to his expectations. That must be very exciting for him, an unpredictable element in the plot. That said, Izaya has a strange fixation on "normality" and hates Shizuo and Saika for being "abnormal", which I never understood (b/c let's face it, Izaya himself isn't normal, he's just blind to it!). So I thought, maybe he likes Mikado's normality? If that is the case, then he lost me, I absolutely don't get him.
Mikado... I think I get Mikado, he's not the kind of guy who can be a public leader, he's too shy for that and he lacks charisma but he's intelligent, so he enjoys being in the thick of things while staying in the shadows. He doesn't really want to be a passive observer, I think, but he wants to create a stir while in the shadows rather than in the open. Kinda like Izaya himself, but for entirely different reasons. A grey cardinal of thoughts is the role that suits him best, and I think he finally realized it, after dreaming of change and of being in the spotlight. And I imagine that he's completely at peace with his role, being a grey cardinal can make one feel very powerful and cunning, moreso than even being a public leader.
