THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I'm really starting to like Kujiragi more and more now in this show. She just seems to plan so far ahead. Interesting to see more of Celty this episode as well and I feel bad at what she is going through.

Really glad to see Shizuo and Varona making their moves this episode. Vorona is such an underrated character imo. She was awesome this episode when she saved Shizuo and vice versa :D

HiroC's character started to act.

Main guy saw the chat and saw the person wanting him badly. She is the sister of the boy who has the girl with head changed as girlfriend. She told him to take care of this case immediately.

Nakamura-san's character ran away.

lol @ womanizer guy's reason for being womanizer in relations to Mamo's character not telling her the truth.

The polices are controlled (eyes being red) to block others to be near the area that Celty got caught. OnoD's character forced in realized the situation.

It seems like Saika lady wants Celty to be headless rider so bad (not having other memories or getting near her head) for business.

Assassin lady showed up to attempt to face off, but he doesn't plan to do so. She mentioned about the fight in previous season and he knew that the person who fought was the same person.

HiroC's character vs. OnoD's character again. Final match, probably? (because of "good bye" at the end)

This episode has left me speechless. I don't think I've been this anxious for next week's episode so far.

Anyway, I wonder what's going to happen with Kadota. I'm assuming he isn't in the best shape if they didn't think he could walk on his own and yet he still left the hospital.

Izaya and Shizuo showdown incoming! Please, I've been thirsting for this. Kick his ass, Shizu-chan! KICK HIS ASSSSS! this is the moment from the novel i have been awaiting adaption to screen for, the magnum opus, the just desserts! Don't disappoint me with this showdown!

Also, ShizuVarona hints... they're so damn cute as a prospective couple, they'd kill one another realistically, but I love that he protected her from the falling construction equipment.

Okay, seriously though, I'm pissed about the direction they're taking with Nasujima, they're going to condense his final acts of antagonism down to NOTHING in the last five or four episodes, aren't they? No! No! That will not do... I want more. I want moooore. Ugh, the creators evidently value Nasujima less than the fandom does, and by obvious comparison much more than I do. Is it wrong to want to see his insanity onscreen more? If they cut his more vulgar lines from the novel I'm gonna have a fucking conniption. Obviously seeing as how he's terrible it'd be nice if they properly portrayed his psychopath ass as such, which means leaving his nastiest lines in, since they did that with the Haruna scene i'm hoping? they don't screw it up later, but his vulgarity is not something I guess a lot of people want to see. Meanwhile I'm wanting it faster, right now. Ha ha, what is wrong with me?

Izaya vs Shizuo is coming. Final round perhaps? Really miss Shizuo in action. It's been a long time since I hype for Durarara episode.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

... What? Shizuo?! Why did you say goodbye?

I don't expect one of them to die... I hope none of them die...

Next episode will be titled "A great man will be remembered for his achievements."
I really don't want to see any one of them die...

Aside from that I loved the episode again. Both Kujiragi and Varona are becoming more interesting characters and are proving they aren't just emotionless tools.
Namie was pretty intense in the chat too. Don't run away Mikado, you wimp. How are you going to fix the dollars if you can't handle what only Namie had done over a chat?

I love how through this entire ordeal Varona never drops the senpai honorific.

STILL NOT OKAY KUJIRAGI


Shizuo Izaya final battle coming up, so excited. And wow, who else would think of using a crane to drop construction equipment and vehicles to kill a man but Izaya? The part where Shizuo just casually lifts a steel beam off of Varona was hilarious though. Shizuo epicness 10/10


And... is that the tiger leaves behind its skin from raijin in the preview? That's one of my favorite scenes waaaa ;w;

A man in a cycle has never looked this vexing.


The climax is near and I can feel it!
So three major conflicts are going to be settled -

• Izaya vs Shizuo
• Mikado vs Kida
• Celty vs Kujiragi

Shizuo's awesomeness went through the roof this episode, he is such an amazing character. I was so happy to see his relationship with Varona starting to show progress and I love that they saved each other.

Izaya vs Shizuo is going to be amazing, honestly it's been a while since I've been this excited to see what's going to happen next in an anime.

Boku dake ga inai machi may be great but for me Ketsu is definitely aots

I guess we're finally heading towards the final confrontation between Izaya and Shizuo, hopefully with Izaya ending up dead. After all, Shizuo sure as hell won't die if he can survive a digger falling onto him from the top of a skyscraper like that.

So intimidating XD

Loving Kasane more and more. And the ShizuxVarona ship is real. Really cute interactions.

Shizuo's always obviously been a friggin monster BUT!! Shoving a bulldozer falling with the power of gravity away so easily with his shoulder. Seems he dislocated it but still HOLY SHIT O_o That's insane.

Izaya I really don't see how ur gonna survive this shit. I mean even Kasane was "I value my life" so even a pro Saika master fears THE SHIZUSTEEL! Sekai Ichii!! XD

Lol at Shizuo just casually pulling up to the scene on a bicycle. So I guess he and Izaya are going to fight? Hopefully neither of them end up dead, especially Shizuo, but Izaya is kind of fun to watch so I hope he doesn't die either. Idk, the end of the episode and the title of next episode aren't making things look too good though. It was also kind of nice to see a softer side of Shizuo with how he worried about Varona.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Great episode.

Kasane has Celty caught.
Nice little Varona and Shizuo moment.

So we're finally gonna see Shizuo and Izaya in an actual fight and not a scrap on the street? Sign me the fuck up.

Great episode with lots of Shizuo demonstrating how awesome he is, and showing somewhat of a soft for his kouhai, Vorona.

Don't know if I ship them them real hard.

It seems like Kujiragi has genuine romantic interest in Shinra and it wasn't just an act to make Celty go berserk. Which seems weird to me as firstly they haven't met each other before and secondly why did she have that stalker beat the snot out of him in X2 Ten if she likes him?

Regarding your second part. Back in 2010 season Namie was the antagonist of first half and confronted Mikado who then revealed he was Dollars' leader and swarmed her with numbers hence his line "I can only rely on numbers". This lead to Namie losing her position and becoming a secretary of Izaya.

If you watched the preview it seems like Mikage will confront both Varona and Kujiragi and no offensive to Mikage but she doesn't stand a chance.

Ugh, noooooo. I don't want this to end.
It's officially the beginning of the end. My poor babies.

At least we get some Raijin days next episode. Those are always nice. We get some quality time with high school Izaya and Shinra (and probably Shizuo and maybe Kadota) before shit gets real.

We have some fun times ahead. Fun, fun. *coughSimoncoughcoughandMikadocough* Let's see how this turns out.

Yeah, out of the three, I don't see Mikage coming out on top, not in the least. (I can't really remember how it plays out anyway, only that I really enjoyed their 'battle' because of the conversations they have during it. lol.)

Pretty sure he has, ngl. I never thought I'd hear him say something like, 'I've gotten used to the way you talk' as a reason for caring. (shizuo, u sly dog. :'>)
