Man, this episode was AWESOME~

Izaya had me in stitches when he happily jumps up and down like a kid on that girl's boyfriend. XDDD And then pretending to ride a motorcycle when they were walking to that quiet area to talk with Mikado. XDD
And at the end of the episode... Mikado does have a badass side after all. X3 *shuts up*

But yeah, Izaya just made this episode for me. *w* Can't wait till next week. *o*

Huh, I thought everyone stumbled at the mikado's spoilers long ago like me, but it's good to see how some people still are surprised at 'that thing' and didn't knew ;)
I still don't actually like this character, but it was the same with Jacuzzi for me, and hell, I even care more for Yagiri siblings than him.

I want to point out, that Celty officialy became Chuck Norris. Seriously. These are his trademark moves, I'd worry for my safety if I'd be in producers crew.

and yeah, izaya had some nice scenes, shadowing everybody in this ep, but damn, his groupies are so annyoing that instead of remaining my fav character i'm starting to think this show would have better audience without him -_-

Ahaha, Mikado's fake laugh xD Priceless.
Yay, more Kida-kun! I seriously can't decide who's my favourite character in Drrr, but this one's pretty damn close.
Couldn't help but lol at Izaya stomping on the punk and giggling xD He's like a kid. A very mean one. Francis, if you're here and in a mood for GIF-making, please do one of Izaya mimicking Celty's motorbike xD

If you're talking about me (I'm guessing you are), it's not a spoiler because I'm just guessing xD (haven't read the novels.) I doubt he is, he's such a wimp after all. I;m jsut saying that would be cool.
On a different note, I agree on establishing the association (even though that remark was probably aimed at me xP). I thought I was going to kill somebody when I saw THE One Piece 575 spoiler on a KHR discussion board x__X I think it' still there in the open even though multiple persons told the guy to tag it...
But hey, if you feel that's a spoiler, I'll tag it.

loved the part where mikado was being followed by celty and izaya, rofl ^_^ and mikado might have pieced together all thats been going on, and it it looks like he has connection to the dollars, maybe the leader? izaya seemed to expect something along those lines or something

HAHA! ALRIGHT! I'M SO FRIKIN HAPPY! THIS EPISODE RELIEVED ME OF THE SPOILER THAT WAS HAUNTING ME FOR SO LONG! =DDD

Back to sanity.

I thought the episode was a bit dragged at the begining (except for kida parts ofcourse <3), What was up with Mikao and his stalker fantasies of Anri? -_-
But it got SO COOL when Izaya and Celty stepped in!
Last minutes were FREAKING AWESOME!
(touchy people...)

But DAMN why do they have to finish right at the good part!?

COME TO ME NEXT EPISODE!


EDIT: password's Baccano! afterall! xD

EDIT 2: No shizuo in this one. T_T (damn me for realising it just now)

I don't how you guys even doubted Mikado after Jacuzzi.

Oh my god, it all makes sense!

-I know eventually this is going to stop happening but somehow, every episode manages to be my favorite.

-First off, the quick mention of the Blue Scarves getting that *harumph* reaction from Kida. Foreshadowing!!???

-Hell ya, Celty Rider Kick!

-Loved Mikado's little scenario of whether Anri was a stalker. Remember folks, as long as she's hot it doesn't matter.

-I didn't realize it until this episode.
I didn't think he was my favorite when he almost suicided that girl
I didn't think he was my favorite when he get smacked by a garbage can
I didn't think he was my favorite when we saw his knife profieciency and how he screwed over Shizuo
Heck, I didn't think he was my favorite when he was jumping on that guy and giggling like a child.

No, it was when he was following Mikado and making little "vrrm-vrrom" sounds like he was actually riding a bike in which I realize, "Dang it, I adore Izaya. He is my favorite character."

-Today's light novel fanservice is To Aru Kagaku no Railgun with the whole main character thing.

"HE HIT MY CAR WITH A ROCK!!"

-And I think now ladies and gentlemen, from that ending (and that everybody named in the OP has had their own episode, except Izaya), it looks like the character set-up is over and the real story is about to begin. It amazing how the episode went from fun and relatively mellow to OMGWTFBBQMIKADO'SABADASSLOLWUT!??

Actually, story is about to end :P At least part of it.From what was wrote by someone about 2 pages before, next ep probably is going to finish one chapter of novel and pick up the next

Why would you go into a thread called Durarara!! Episode 10 discussion before having watched the actual episode? And then complain about being spoiled. What did you think we're here to talk about something else?

Use common sense people.

Anyone who complains about spoilers for this specific episode, take heed of my words: This is a discussion for what just happened in the episode. If you don't want to get spoiled, watch the bloody episode before you come in here.

As for the episode itself, I did not expect Mikado to be the Dollars creator. For some god only knows reason I thought it was Simon...

Thank you, my words exactly. Atleast one person here is smart.

And for people who couldn't put the pieces of mikado being the creator of dollars from the end of this episode, from reading the context in the situation, I pity you.

Mikado = super suspicious Dollars leader, eh? He doesn't give off that "secretly total gangster" aura. Even in his monologues, he's totally passive! Well, I suppose the next episodes will be interesting then.

Also, Celty is a beast. That kick was awesome.

And why is it that every time Izaya is on screen, he manages to do something that makes my love for him grow ^ 10?

Okay, I think Mikado is more than part of the dollars. I mean, he clearly said:

And I am dead serious when I say this is the ONLY anime in which I like EVERY single character. Izaya and Shizuo are enemies, yet we all love them both.
Celty is amazing. So is Shinra. Mikado and Kida and Anri rock. They are all just amazing!


And damn, they totally left us hanging with Mikado's close confession.
"I..." Ending theme. lol.

The password for the Dollars' website has been baccano all along. Since episode 5 or 6 I think, the first time they showed us the site.

Mikado is going all epic win in this episode and the developments were fantastic and incredibly well executed. All the scenes and characters interactions were just huge too. This was clearly the best episode of the season we just saw. I think Ohmori/Brains Base have found the right formula to the perfect Baccano-styled anime (which was poorly executed and too messy to be called a great show) now.

i pretty sure they're talking about Index not Railgun. Misaka is in both but Himegami is not in Railgun.

i did unfortunately read a spoiler several weeks ago, but it made it no less enjoyable.

and as we have all said, Izaya is just plain awesome. i want to see a complete fight between him and Shizuo at some point soon.

Ah, I got into the same situation, but it's as you said ;) Mikado is now in badassery mode! Here comes the main stuff now :P Celty was awesome with her kick, and Izaya was hilarious jumping on that guy (literally) and imitating a motorbike. xD

Can't wait to see the next ep. :P

On the other hand of thinking that this episode was just brilliant with amazing twist, I started to get worried. This is fast. Way too fast. This is not even a middle of the episode, yet some of the major twists are already out. I can't believe they will going to have 14 more episodes for everything. I just try to force myself on thinking that there will be something big beside all of this, (like Shinra Mystery,Izaya past, Russian Sushi + Simon, and some mysterious American company) but... this is just... rushed.

Besides that, brilliant. Izaya is my idol now. Plus, my guess was right... Mikado WAS the leader of dollars... xD

I know! You have such a good point! The thing is, I reallyyyy wish ( as do other people im sure) that Durarara could go past these 24 episodes of epicness and be the start of a new popular on-going anime. But, it probably won't happen :(

That's pretty much expecting this anime to be another naruto/bleach/dragon ball/d-grey mand, which I don't really appreciate.
