Kida is so desperate because of one stupid girl and by the way he can't even control his own gang, seriously I thought he was wiser than this. |

Horo vs. Taiga LOL Kida is an idiot. Does he really think things are so simple? Come on. The Yellow Scarves aren't even that anymore - they've taken in his sworn enemies the Blue Squares. I can't believe he is even thinking about turning against his best friend for Anri. Wtf, bros before hoes. |

The scene In the anime shop was funny but overall this episode made no real sense to me Izaya totally lost it in my opinion now he is only a psycho with too much influence I hope they can achieve to make a decent ending for this show since I didn't lked the last two episodes that much Its all Kida's fault XD |

Goddamn Izaya is really enjoying this, huh? YouTube - I post all my gameplay (Kingdom Hearts, so far) videos here (mostly boss fights), I am currently running through Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix on Proud Mode. I am aiming to catalogue all boss fights in 1080p HD using PCSX2 to emulate and Fraps to record. Give my videos a watch and some constructive criticism. Thanks. |

Anri has started getting on my nerves... because of her it's gonna turn into a battle. I am still wondering why anyone accepted Kida as their leader. To be honest I like his character LOTS, but I don't get what he has to make him a deserving leader... Strength, cunningness, impressive brains? He's not bad, but a leader...? Same goes with Mikado but at least he hasn't made his appearance to his team yet. Well I like where the show goes to, anyway... with the two gangs and the Slasher. But I also think that it has put too many stuff in it and I'm not sure it can handle it all and give a proper ending in just 4 episodes. Where is Shinra for example? And what about his dad and all? And Celty's head? And so many other things... will they fit in 4 episodes i wonder, or will we get an open ending? Still I can't deny that I fuckin enjoy this show! :P |

Walker, you so crazy~ xD Also, even if this was revealed a few episodes ago, I still find it intriguing that Kida is looking for Mikado (without knowing of course until now), because he wants revenge on Anri (without knowing of course) for hurting Anri. Oh the irony. ..DUDE! The sushi resturant owner is one scary guy xD. Oh Izaya, you big meanie~ I love it, do continue~ Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. |

A very dialogue-heavy episode. I'm unsure if it was just the subject material or the translator but I'm going to have to re-watch the episode to see if I can get more out of all that was said. I have a feeling I missed some major points or at least some of the nuances. I disliked the narration spread throughout - a sentence here, a sentence there, all interrupting the on-going dialogue. I found it distracting. Overall, I like how it's all building up and I'm curious as to where it's all going to head to. Obviously, a lot of the fault is falling on Kida because he can't let go of the damned past and he keeps relying on Izaya (who I still love, despite his manipulative bastard status), even though he knows full well what that entails. Still, we wouldn't have a good story otherwise, would we? This late in the series, though, I have to wonder why we haven't seen more of certain characters. As of late, all we've been seeing is the main high school trio, Izaya, Shizuo, Celty, and Kadota's gang. Where is that new police guy who chases Celty? Yagiri Namie still hangs around but she doesn't seem to have much purpose. Namie's brother and Harima Mika are all but forgotten (although, the next episode preview briefly shows their return). Shinra and his dad haven't been shown in a while, either. It makes me wonder if the show is able to handle the huge load of characters it has taken on. |

I would like to see more Celty. I'm sure the series will tie everything together in the end, but I dislike how some of the plotlines have been put on hold while we sort out this Dollars/Yellow scarves business. Yes, yes, lots of dramatic irony, and Izaya's obviously been pulling the strings. Still, I'm more interested in the Dullahan. Funny how the gang drama seems less believable to me than the supernatural elements of the series... |

Same goes with Mikado but at least he hasn't made his appearance to his team yet. People likely grouped with Kida because he is charismatic person. He never intended to fight with anyone in beginning until the Blue Squares started attacking them. Then he met Izaya and used his strategies against BS which earned him admiration and respect. The Dollars don't really have a leader, but Mikado is a cunning person that uses every resource that has available to him. Being one of the admins (well the only admin now) he has a influence especially since mysterious to most people.

Namie, Seiji and Mika's roles are more or, less done, atleast Seiji and Mika. Namie at this point is now just Izaya's secretary/henchwoman (which he even pays!) inexchange for hiding her from Nebula. Her old company is shutdown so not like she anywhere else to go. The police officer will probably have a limited role, but Shingen should definitely show up since he knows the real reason the Dollars and Yellow Scarves are about to fight eachother. |

This is how I like build-up episodes--ratcheting up the tension, with a lot of character interaction. Very good. I got a lot more plot movement than I expected. This is how you hurtle towards a finale. |

Can't believe theres only four episodes left... So let me get this straight: -Anri knows Kida is the Yellow Scarves leader -Kida knows Mikado is the Dollars leader -Mikado knows nothing yet Ahh. What's going to happen. >< |

Kida and Mikado and Anri are one secretive bunch. The other doesn't want the rest to get caught up in trouble, but ironically they're making matters worse for themselves. Dotachin's crew is simply awesome. Erika and Walker are a pack of lulz. Dotachin looks a whole lot different without his hat. And Togusa needs to speak up more. ilikeyouevenmore said: This is going into my sig."You can make a world out of nothing but moe and tsundere and BL!" - Erika |
