THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Introducing about "fake" is ok (like cosplay), and introducing fake Shizuo. Interesting how he became one.

Everyone knows that he's fake, but still let him do his own thing because they expect him to be beaten up by the real one. On the way, he also met people who know the real one well. lol @ HiroC's character.

He teases fake about real one relating to Dollars and lied to him the headless rider is Shizuo. He finally met the real one in the end with his brother and got beaten up. lol @ HiroC's character's fake (female).

Otaku group talking about fakes and that fake guy who now pretends to be Nakamura-san's character. He got beaten up again. Even entertainment field using "fake" as topic. lol @ that fake pretending to be Celty and met real Celty!!

ED with everyone holding heart, except the song is different from previous special.

It's always fun to see Izaya too.

Ah that opening song, how I've missed it <3

Love how everyone just collectively thought the fake would get killed by Shizuo and felt bad for him. Well, anyone would after seeing him get beat up by Vorona, Shizuo, a random gangster, and Celty. On top of that getting messed with by Izaya...

(also nice job Tsukomoya!!)



ED sung by Tosshi is always amazing :>

Oh my, such a funny special episode. It seems that he wanted to be like, almost all of the characters in Durarara!! series. From Shizuo to Dota-chin (Kyouhei Kadota) and then Celty. XD

This guy got beaten by half of the cast in 20 minutes and still alive? I must admit, he has some guts.

And of course Izaya had to play with the new toy, even Simon did it without thinking twice.

Dat Izaya cross-dressing tho'...lmao.

Erika and Walter and their little ''torture'' was funny as ever.

I honestly thought it was all gonna be about a fake Shizuo but that guy went the extra mile to be a fake Kadota and Celty lol.

Also that cross dress Izaya killed me.

Loved it ! but it was so bittersweet because that's the last Durarara we'll have :'( (unless they adapt the sequel in anime but I don't think it will be the case , or at least not for now)

That Yuuichi Nakamura's reference by Walker and Erika really killed me, those two are the best haha

I laughed at the Izaya crossdressing.


Shizuo with his suit make him looks cool :D and sexy
Finally get to see that fake Shizuo got blasting off, punched by the real Shizuo. Was waiting for that moment >:)

But that guy still went for fake Dota-chin and Celty =_="

So far, I like this OVA. I hope that fake guy has learnt his lesson though.

LOL, the cosplay stuff was priceless and hilariously bad in terms compared to the real characters.

I still find this OVA episode pretty funny though especially that clip of "crossdressing Izaya". Really nice to also see Varona in this even though I wish she got more screen time. And that ending with Celty is awesome.

Hmmmm... thought a fake Shizuo would look more... like Shizuo... well, he got the look after the opening, so I felt better about it after that. But wow, I didn't think he would get found out that quick, and then people just start giving him stuff and heck, even I started feeling bad for the fake knowing how this was gonna end. Of course by the end, I stopped feeling bad for him, dude was seriously an idiot.

The special didn't really relate to the Durarara story, but it was still pretty funny in my opinion. Although that fake Shizuo did make me cringe quite often, the main cast kept things entertaining. Especially Izaya! Of course he had to play with his new toy and pin the blame on the real Shizuo xD


But in the end, he got what he deserved. He looked quite well in that dress, to be honest, hahaha. But in all seriousness, I like these kinds of scenes with Izaya. The ones where his 'human' side shines through, like when he is embarrassed by others or does something sweet. The scene with the dogs is a great example of that, or the one where Kurumi and Mairu show up and walk with him and glomp his arms. His smile at that time was sooooooo sweet~!

I love DRR!
Even such simple special was so cool to watch :D

I love that part with Nakamura Yuuichi! <3
I think creators really love him (^^,)
I was waited for Kadota's group to show up and react on fake Shizuo, but instead this, they meet fake Kadota and I love it!

I really liked all main cast reaction on fake Shizuo,
but Izaya was the best xD

And, and... These Shana and Sadao Maou cosplay! xD

I thought that narrator is Dian Isaac and at the end we will see him,
I totally forget that Onosaka Masaya voiced also Kasuka's manager xD

Ah! This was cool special!
I want more <3

I'm late for this topic (I only watched the last 5 episodes of Ketsu today too), but this ova was great. xD
Also, what was the reference to Yuuichi Nakamura? I didn't catch it (and I was hoping someone would actually say or show what it was instead of just mentioning it).

Also, I lol'd at the Index cosplay. I have to finish/restart that anime someday.

MuaHahaha. Chubbys makes hilarious scenes using 'cosplays' many characthers;
Great fun. The chubby instead of just getting deceive everyone, everyone ended up deceiving him. The funniest part was he taking beaked of Vorona and Izaya taking advantage of their innocence and putting it in a mess.
Now I believe he will never try to fool the staff Dollars.
The part he tried to imitate the Kadota had more grace by the reaction of others.
In the end he took of all, to the Celty.

Really ran out of a steam at the end when they guy just kept copying people but for the most part this was a pretty entertaining ride. The stuff with everyone either pitying or just messing with the guy as Shizuo was really great.. My least favorite of the x2 specials, though crossdressing Izayaa is probably my favorite moment out of the three of them. Also, yay for fake Kino. 7/10.

  • Jajaja, so everybody acts that way towards fake shizuo not because they fear him but because they feel bad for him because he will die soon xD oh god.

  • Vorona being "bored", well... mad, because Shizuo is not there. I think this is the last of ShizuoxVorona I'll ever get =( I wanted more!

  • Oh good, Izaya....Izaya, Izaya, Izaya... xD He's gonna troll him hard.

  • IZAYA-CHAN!!! xD She's so pretty xD jajaja lol

  • T_T Durarara!! anime is over now! Noooo!! =( Now I'm sad.

Note: I watched this after the last episode of Ketsu.

Flame Haze. Maou. LMAO at old Index.

TsudaKen is the other Shizuo. lol

LMAO at everyone giving him offerings because he's going to die.

lol at Simon purposely making him spend money.

lol at Varona knocking him out.

LMAO at Izaya trolling him.

The fated meeting. Shizuo meets Shizuo.

LMAO at photo-shopped Izaya.

LMAO at Erika referencing Yuichi's roles.

Was that Firo on the wall behind Kasuka?

Lucky bastard got Celty to sit on him.

Haven't been this entertained with a Durarara episode in a while. =P Too bad it had to be a special though.

Favorite Moments:
- Photoshopped Izaya. xD
- Everyone having fakes.
- That Yuuichi Nakamura reference
- Celty Fake
- Seeing Shizuo dressed up and kicking butt.


It was creepy seeing Izaya act all friendly and nice, even though he's doing it for another reason.

Any idea where I can find the 3rd Durarara X2 Special English Dubbed. I know it came out July 26th/ 2016, but it's August 2017 now and the rest of the specials and episodes are up. Netflix only has the series, but the specials are found on sites here and there. Just can't find the last one.

Let me know if anyone spots an upload.

Shizu-chan all dressed up and without glasses - hot
holding in that anger for memorial services - priceless
loolol
the Heiwajima bros having a scenic shot is +1
I love this 'arc' so much!!

Kasuka and Varona having more screentime is great, they're probs my fav charas in the series besides Izaya

the faker guy sorta degraded each time I think..
1st time was ok, 2nd time he encountered the real peron, and the 3rd time he talked face-to-face with the real person.
funny in a way haha

Just finished all Durarara's specials, it was really nice to walk through Ikebukuro again :]

Also, I think I spotted an (other) easter egg
At the very end, there is this scene :


Isn't that Shuuichi Natori, from Natsume Yuujinchou on the poster behind ?
He's a famous actor in that anime, so it wouldn't surprise me seeing him in a such place
