| I agree with Wasabi. A lot of this mess could have been avoided had Anri grew a pair and told Kida the truth. It would have mostly stopped there. But, they wanted more drama, so whatever. @Monad Manipulation is more than just lying. It's knowing the people you're using well enough to know how to get a desired outcome. Izaya wants a war, thinking he'll be all powerful having a fully restored Celty at his side, so anything he can do to make that happen, he will: be it making Masaomi feel horribly guilty about what's-her-face during the Yellow/Blue War, not telling Anri, Masomi, and Mikado about each other, not telling Celty he has her head, etc. Does Izaya outright lie? No. But you don't really need to when you know everything. Instead, you can tell half-truths, and refuse to give out information. Knowledge is power, and he wields it like no one else in the show. Pretty good episode. I crack a smile every time Celty gets paranoid about the cops. I didn't like the narration, though. |

Not as exciting as previous episodes, but I did enjoy it. Hopefully these kids can figure out how badly they're being played before Izaya can get his war. |
 |
| True. It isn't that easy. But she has to be aware of the repercussions of her inaction, and every minute that she doesn't tell the truth is a minute that can drastically negatively impact a lot of bystanders the three of them command. |
| I liked this episode~~! I wonder what Anri's going to do now that she knows Kida's secret. And I too am love/hateing Izaya at the moment. Though what I'm really wanting to see is what Mikado's going to do with the dollars! Here's me kind of hoping they get more together and organized, but with such a mixed group, that'd be quite the difficult task, huh. This coming war is going to be crraaaaazzyyyyy. xD |
| awesome ... cant wait to see how this series will advance . |

Knowledge is power, and he wields it like no one else in the show. but he did confess about himself during episode 18.remember the metaphor he use about the "god subject" he trying to bring.Maybe his word is a bit too confusing,but try replacing the word "God" into "information",then everything will look like as if he is trying to confess himself to Kida,but Kida still don't realize it... ^^ ~~knowing Izaya personality doesn't really makes any different anyway.Since noteDhero is almost right anyway. |

 @ MAL Claim an Anime Character v.2 |
| Puppet master Izaya are all kinds of awesome :D |
| Izaya is the master of equivocation. I agree with Garfield, it would be too hard for Anri to tell Kida about her identity. Plus if she did that the chances of sustaining her lifestyle would be obliterated on the spot. Plus it would be to boring. Well do you thin she will learn Mikado is the leader of the dollars to and be stuck in the middle? |
| This is getting better and better! I'm so excited to see the next episode. :D |

| I love Izaya's way o toying around with people <3. Slasher & Dullahan team-up ! xDDD |
| izaya is planning something big isnt he? something along the line like destroying all 3 gangs or taking over them? i got that feeling his not there just to observe |
 |
| I can not bring myself to care about any of the three teenagers. Ugh. They're all so bland. Anri and Mikado especially get on my nerves. The highlight of this episode for me was Izaya and Celty though neither did very much and I think Izaya is an asshole. So... |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| I came to really appreciate this show much more after episode 16 or so. I had put it on hold until today where I watched all the new eps together! Why?! Because those last eps effin rocked!! It's really getting much better now that it's close to the end of it.. and hope it will keep it up that way until the very end. This ep was pure win, though the previous one was slightly better and had a more of a cliffhanger ending. Still this was definately a 5/5 for me. By the way... where is Shinra?? he sort of dissappeared from the series.. hope they can fit him in somehow again. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa  |
| Just an okay episode. Anri being such a damsel in distress and needing to be saved is pissworthy though. |
| Wow, Simon actually appeared finally once again. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It's amazing how Izaya seems like a great manipulator. He's just telling some informations to some people, hides informations from some people, and tell half or so informations to other people. And despite that everything goes the way he wants it to be. I feel he's overrated, but i can't stop liking this guy. I like the way the story goes on, propably nothing more to add. Oh and quiet evening + DRRR + coffee = win. |

| Intense episode. I liked it even though things going on gets on my nerves. Izaya is now definitely an asshole villain, in awesome way. I hate all Izaya's doing on Mikado and his gang... but... I still love him. In the last episode, I remember Izaya saying holding trump cards, 'Shizuo is a king, Celty is a queen', but he didn't know what Joker is. I think that is the critical foreshadowing for the next 5 episode. It's no Simon, Dotachin's group, Shinra since Izaya already called their names at that scene. Thus, there are only a few choice of people we can guess. I already knew some of the blue squares is in yellow whatever gangs. Horoda guy was mentioned by Kadota for being in Blue squares, and I saw Kida is calling the same name in his meeting. I can't wait for the next episode. I can't believe that there are only 5 episodes left, yet I think there are too much things that is needed to be solved. Well, it's done by Baccano team, who managed to show one of the most satisfying ending I've ever seen; thus I hope drrr gets a good conclusion. |

| Pretty good episode, seems like things are progressing the way Izaya wants them too. Celty coming to save Anri was unexpected and I'm wondering how exactly she knew. Anri figuring things out makes things a little more complicated though she did look awesome on Celty's horse with her sword. I'm also wondering how Mikado is going to try solve things because his methods probably won't work very well. Looking forward to the last five episodes they should be really good. |
| Oh wow, Izaya's troll is maximum. Did anyone else laugh when Izaya was grinning while trolling everyone? |
| UNF Izaya and his trolling. I'm curious to see what'll happen when they find out Mikado leads Dollars though. |

 |
| LMFAO, durrr's morale: DON'T KEEP SECRETS FROM YOUR BFF'S. but anyway, i always get goosebumps every time troll!izaya comes into the picture. i can't wait to see the look on izaya's face if ever the actual gang war takes place. it's gonna be a good one. 8) |
 |
| IZAYA ;D ahahaha he was as cool as ever in this episode. Kida is awesome as well. Kodata and Kida talk ... interesting. Erika and Walker get their time to shine ... maybe? Some nice info came in this episode. Won't complain too much about Anri this time :P What's happened to Shizuo and Shinra? They were so awesome D: |
| In my opinion these past two episodes have been the best so far. I like how Izaya is pulling the stings behind the scenes. And we are almost near the end. I wonder if there is going to be a sequel or something. Also I would like to see Shinra and his father sometime soon. They have not appeared in a long time. |
 |
| It was really cool seeing Anri still have a couple of children at the Yellow scarves I don't see YS could have a chance winning vs. Anri and Celty... |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
SaberSkye said: Oh wow, Izaya's troll is maximum. Did anyone else laugh when Izaya was grinning while trolling everyone? lol yup, he's such a bastard but I can't help but love him anyway. And Celty is too adorable, I love how she's so chipper and friendly in the chatroom. Even her rambling about traffic cops was cute. XD |
