----------------------------------------
Nice. I thought the action was neat this episode in DRRR! style. The kick and fighting was all over the place.

Kujiragi knew a lot more about Saika than originally let on. Quite a thrilling way for the other two girls to take it all in. Shizuo's role feels somewhat different than what I had normally expected but he is still a badass. Eh, I think Haruna underestimated her opponent this episode. I'm curious to see what else Kujiragi has to say next time and also hoping Shizuo will play an important role in this arc.

Interesting talk to understand more info. of why womanizer guy wants to take over Mamo's character's group... So Shimono-san's character's group was somewhat related to them in the past... Wow, he's strong and capable of not losing his hat.

Saika explanation. Hanazawa-san's character is too kind to use Saika. lol @ otaku girl barged in, and she invited her to her club since she saw nekomimis.

Another group barging in to the fight between Mamo's character and womanizer guy.

A guy in the jail who got controlled told OnoD's character about the head. He got out and saw assassin lady attacking.

That another Saika girl met the father who searches for the daughter and got captured.

Both FukuJun's character and his father used shots to calm the siblings that involves with the fake head girl was funny. Stronger Saika lady found FukuJun's character and Celty.

More fights on Mamo's character.

I don't even know what to say about this episode but I can say that YESSSSSSSS SHIZUO IS BACK!!!!!! (And is ready to fuck up Izaya yet again lol)

So much stuff happened that I can't really fully process what went down lol....The discussion/fight between Masaomi and Chikage was just awesome....The apparence of Mallet Man and that whole ordeal was just intense

Then there's the continuation of the Saika Trio conference which revealed even more interesting stuff like how Kasane is pretty much the original etc and then all that stuff with Celty, Best Girl Varona being outed by Shizuo and then the capture of Haruna by that mysterious guy from last week had me screaming WTF O_O

Saying that shit has gotten real is an understatement at this point and I know that things are going to get even crazier lol

Kida vs Rocchi was awesome. Damn Kida's flexible and agile AF XD Rocchi's endurance is insane as usual. Falling that fall and pretty much not being affected lol
Poor Kida he's sure having a busy day after Izumi came too ^^;

Erika being awesome as usual getting directly into a conversation with Kasane inviting her to cosplay like that. Lol'd @ Kasane wanting Gothic lolita XD

Seiji wanting to raid the police station for the head and then Namie getting injected in the ass was hilarious.

Shizuo's going after Izaya's ass again lol

Didn't expect Haruna to be done in by Takashi like that :O She's crazy but it's kinda f'd up that Takashi's just talking about her body like a sex doll in front of her dad like that

I really wonder what Kasane wants with Shinra and Celty.

The Saika trio was pretty interesting but it went down pretty much how i imagined with Anri keeping Saika. It was interesting that Haruna was ready to fight Kasane until Erica showed up. I've got to say I love that side of Kasane xD

That fight was awesome it's clear who was stronger but Masaome was winning imo, then Aoba's big brother shows up to crush the Yellow scarves. But holy shit was that blood from his head or Kida's hand. Either way he's really lucky that Chikage is there because that guy with the Mallet has nothing on him.

More Shizuo x Varona :D looks like he finally realized she's the one back from Kadota's fight which means their relationship is about to get way more interesting.

Kasane seems to want Celty's head for some reason and I'm really interesting to see what's going to go down between them.

Finally the best part of the episode for m

I loved it, this cour of Durarara is way better than the last one, at least until this episode.
The action is better, the transition with the character is better, atmosphere is better.

Proof of this is that pre sales are higher than the other cour, which is good,
although late.

SHIZUO IS FINALLY BACK!!!!!, now i want a fight with Izaya, you can..!

Chikage Kida fight and Anri meeting Kujiragi. Character development feels so good.

Overall great episode. More character interactions just the way the fans like it and ending on a mysterious not with Kujiragi coming to Shinra and Celty. Looking forward to the next one ^^

Shizuo!! Finally! I hope he gets more screen time. Also, Rocchi is VERY durable. Proven already with his fight against Shizuo but still. I'm sure many noticed the bone sticking out of Kida's hand after he punched Izumii in the forehead.

Chikage somehow survived that long a fall, oh, anime logic at its finest. Poor Kida, at least in the midst of fighting he got some well deserved screentime (now let's give some to Mikado as well!!).

Izaya get basically no screentime this episode (much to my relief as he's one of the characters I don't particularly like), and Shizuo breaking out from jail, only to be released anyway was quite funny.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the last part, which really made me chuckle, so any needles… so little time. Shinra's little guild is so precious.

Hmm, Kasane and Celty gon' meet, I wonder what she has to say exactly?

Well, it was still an interesting episode. Just not quite as good as last week in my opinion. Thought I admit that I am entirely biased with my love for Izaya. Definitely. I did enjoy seeing Shizuo not go into a rage just at the thought of Izaya. Character development. Now that's some minor buildup to you know what for those who get it (not looking forward to it). I mean, I think it is at least. Admittedly missed Izaya this episode.



But there was some good other shit going on. Anri stands strong in her ideals mostly. Kujiragi is very much not human. (There are theories about that and I'm not surprised that she's not human. We kind of already know with her Saika reveal or something, but this just verifies it.) And now we have main antagonist #2. Her biggest threats are Awakusu-kai, then Tsukumoya Shinichi, and finally Orihara Izaya. From what I remember. Too bad Tsukumoya isn't included. Still kind of pisses me off.

Erika was great as always. Loved the villain getting in on some cosplaying. But it kind of makes me feel bad for Izaya. He really seems inwardly lonely. Also missing Simon now that I think about it. It's been a while. I love Shinra, but he honestly is a selfish asshole mostly. Sorry, I'm just salty for certain reasons that I don't think have happened yet. Not totally sure.

To wrap this up nicely: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, SHIZU-CHAN AND KAMIYAN!!!!!!!!!

Kujiragi makes an appearance into Shinra and Celty's apartment. I wonder what she wants.

Best episode of this season so far imo
but I do not like where things are going

I want Izumii to wreak some havoc but most likely he will be beat since chikage butt buddy is there to help.

and the Erika x Kasane moment was great, please let us see some kasane cosplay

looking forward to next episode

Eh, I'm not sure everyone understood exactly what he was saying. I saw some similar confusion elsewhere as to what exactly was going on, to me it's pretty obvious, but it may not be obvious to others because his eyes don't look "soulless" or "possessed" unlike most Saika hosts.

Hahaha, why am I not surprised Kujiragi's ended up at Shinra's place? I swear that guy is a magnet for trouble. It's a shame how Kujiragi says she's going to get killed, I would hope not as I'm starting to warm up to her. It's about time we got more Masaomi but unfortunately he's just relegated to action scenes so far.

Not quite. To put it simply he's also another person like Haruna that has been "slashed" by a "mother" and managed to overcome Saika's control. He then explains that because he "slashed" Haruna's father more recently then Haruna herself did, he's the one that's in control. However this only applies to "children". For example Nasujima would not be able to take over control over people that have been slashed by "mother" like Egor and Sloan.

To go in a bit more detail with Saika. Owners of Saika generally fall into two groups; they're either controlled/brainwashed by Saika to do its bidding (Haruna and Nasujima) or the owner has complete control over Saika and treats it like a tool (Kujiragi). Anri on the other hand is neither and falls in between hence why Kujiragi states someone as virtuous as herself shouldn't have Saika.

Well, looks like Haruna finally found Takashi.

Anyway, the best part is having Shizuo back and Erika thinking Kasane was hot, which in fact she is. I have much to say but I'm glad that they focused more on the three hottest girls in this series, Shizuo and psycho pedophile coming back. I was going to barf if I saw anymore of Izaya's face on the screen, I've had enough of that moron from the last episode.

Let's admit it, if Anri were there then for sure Takashi would also attempt to rape her. He did in the past and he would do it again. He has a thing for big tits.

That was an interesting episode and as usual it moves pretty fast. That fight there was solid, and man that Toramaru leader is as hard as steel, I mean he literally plummeted into the concrete from like 10 feet above, cracking the pavement and can stand up normally? What the fuck!? Masaomi being able to fight that guy being as "normal" as he is, is fucking commendable.

And then the reunion with Izumi, another tough bastard. Oh lord these fights promise a lot.

What I did not expect was to see psycho lord Takashi back, with a Saika of his own and having overcome his own possession. This guy is absolutely disturbing, I mean if I understood well, he even went as far as lifting her skirt. No shit, this guy is insane, oh well............her chick is equally insane so between psychos they can understand each other I think?

Kujiragi was cute looking for cosplay. And that explanation of Saika. Basically you can take the original, shatter it, create new swords from it, and then repeat the process with those blades, and like that, you can multiply Saikas around the world? o_O

I lol'd at the sedative scene, at the very least Namie will be with Seiji.

PS: Is it my idea or at some point Haruna was portrayed as being MUCH taller than Anri?

Calling it dumb is a tad bit late in the game since we have all sorts of fantasy/mythical things going around, we never knew there was another Shizuo's kind in the area. Kida fighting with Rokujo is similar to the hustles that Izaya gets into with Shizuo, nothing absolutely wrong there but it could have been better.
