| @mel The next episode looks to disagree with you. Mikado looking pretty serious there and has made his decision after Seiji's talk. He may not have all the info but he's going to do what he can.  ArcticMech said: Never thought Seiji would come out of any episode looking the best, but he did here. His words were beautiful, powerful and exactly what Mikado needed to hear at that moment. All of the other characters ended up aggravating me to varying degrees with Mikado's cowardice at the top of the list. However, it is worth stating that Mikado has built something impressive in Dollars - especially when contrasted with the Yellow Scarves which is quickly being consumed by its ill intentioned and violent minority. I mostly agree with you, but calling him a coward is a bit much. He's very difficult situation especially compared to the Yagiri stuff. He doesn't want an unnecessary conflict and without Kida for support he's having a tough time. He's come out of his funk by the end of the episode. |

The information war is all done in the dollar network Yes, Anri is Saika in the chatroom. And it isn't necessarily "unnecessary" information Izaya is spreading since he's obviously manipulating the three sides. |

| MAN I hate Izaya. I hope he gets a rediculous beating before this ends or I'm gonna be pissed. |

| @Seeker For my opinion,War itself is unnecessary in this world =P Spreading unnecessary information to created innocent bloodshed is just unnecessary. Since this is just Anime,I think I just take it as entertainment. Ohh...in this arc.I think Izaya only manipulate the 2 side(Anri and Mikado),but it strongly effect yellow scarf(Kida) |

| At the very end, I couldn't tell if they were taking Anri away or if she had them all entranced like everyone else. Her eyes weren't glowing red, but she was just walking with them. Whatever the case be, this is getting interesting. I'm excited to see how this ends! |

holypoop said: Cliffhangers should die. A. Horrible. Death. Agreed. Good episode, a bit slow except for Kida finding out about Anri. Mikado better do something, soon. And, uhm, did I see at the end of next weeks preview a man who looked like Shizuo laying on the floor... if that is Shizuo, I'll have to shoot myself. |

And he is messing with all three sides. He's the one who told Kida about Mikado being the Dollars leader after all. |
 |
| So Kida finally demonstrates some of his strength, I was starting to think he was all talk lol And I thought it was funny how both Kida and Mikado were certain the girl described was Anri after it was mentioned that she had big breasts :3 With only 3 episodes left, I hope they are able to decently wrap up the story by then. Though leaving it open for a sequel would be pretty nice. |
 |
| what gives seiji the right to lecture mikado about love? he couldn't even tell the difference between mika & celty's head.... lmao. 8| what a dickhead. i'm more curious about kida's next move... HOW IS HE GONNA HANDLE ALL THIS INFORMATION. i feel bad for him. ;A; |

| Ugh someone needs to beat up that Horoda person to pieces ok. >_< Mikado, do something, stop being depressed!@#$% Preview shows Shizuo being defeated?! Whaaat?! |
     |
| I just want Mikado to find his balls and start ordering the Dollars around. He's got an army the size of a city (literally). Use it! I think that it must be fundamentally wrong for me to love Izaya as much as I do. The more evil and manipulative he gets, the more awesome he is. Don't get me wrong, I love Shizuo too, but man. Izaya kicks everyone's ass. I'm sad that it's ending soon! Hurry up and order another 24 episodes! |

| I think I miss that part ^^ Even Kida know this truth,Kida still trying himself to act normal.....but I think his army getting out of hand. ohh...Anri sure has a big breast ^^ |
MorningGloryJun 4, 2010 11:54 PM
| I remember when this series first started, I thought it was interesting how Anri had these huge boobs, but little to no attention was ever drawn to them. Fast forward to now when they've become her calling card of sorts (well there is the whole Saika thing, but that's a little easier to hide). |
| Ha-cha! |
| Kida acting all badass. Izaya phoning Namie - another chess player xD |
| I'm scared...I want next episode immediately. This preview makes me depressed, what will happen to Shizu-chan ? T.T If he die, I will die, too x___x Kida surely acts like a leader, but rest of Yellow Scarves makes me really angry, stupid bastards. And Mikado, who doesn't do anything... Btw. Izaya is really mental XD I love him. And Shinra's mug, haha. |
stAtic91 said: I think this part is forgotten but maybe this(her head) will be brought up later. I have faith in the way the story is told.I want to see Celty chase after her head some more. Damn, Izaya just amuses me to no end. "Kyaho!! Kanra-chan deeesu..........Pum pum!.......Baybay bee!!" XD. And him observing things far away is so evil but I can't seem to hate him :3 I guess we were wrong about the representation of the pieces of the game board Izaya is playing but it's very interesting. The weird couple....is still weird. Seiji looked like a zombie when Harima was talking to Mikado until he spoke which was kinda cool. But they're still weird... Well, that's...one way to identify Anri. Raira uniform, glasses....big breasts XD. Is there no one else with that profile in their school? Guess not. I like it that she is using the Slasher network but it's doing more harm than good from the looks of things. Kida and Mikado are just being pussies in this episode, most especially Mikado. I though Mikado would man up at the last part but it looks like it's next episode. The tension is really building up in this show. Preview looks awesome!! Damn, 3 more episodes. Hope this ends in an awesome way. I want the next episode now! |

| Man if only Mikado could grow a pair... I feel bad for those Yellow Scarves guys that met up with Anri. Heads will be a rollin' I tell ya! |
| Yellow scarves too violent Dollars too peaceful Anri Being used as bait What action will be taken? |
 |
| Question: Do the voices in the Dollars chat matter? For your information, I know in the 4 way chat between Kanra, Setton, Saika, and Tanaka Taro, each corresponding charcater voices its screen name.(ex: Celty's voice would speak for Setton's posts) Long before when we did NOT know who the people behind the chat names were, random voices were put in. (For example, back then Setton had various male voices) Now I KNOW I heard Fukuyama Jun (voice for Shinra) at chat log for 17:12 and a few others. Anyone know what his screen name says? Now, I've noticed that it's consistent. By that, I mean that FukuJun voices the same screen name (could someone figure it out please? XD) I also heard Kadota (I forget his v.a. name. It's the same guy that does Okazaki Tomoya from Clannad) for the screen name 'Monta'. Anyone remember from that episode where Kadota got invited to join Dollars? Was his screen name Monta that time too? THE POINT OF ALL THIS is that now the voices are consistent each screen name in the Dollar chat. So, most likely, corresponding characters voice the screen names. In which case, we should be able to figure out which character has which screen name in the Dollars chat, and what kind of attitudes each character holds. (or in Izaya's case, manipulates) |

In fact it's part of the last week's screencaps in this week's OP sequence. Hope that doesn't sound confusing. Basically, I mean, watch the OP sequence in ep 21. |

| Oh mannn,only 3 episodes left. So the one in the preview who was beaten up was Shizuo?Holy sh- And about the chat log and stuff, I heard Walker's voice too, I think.And his friend[Iforgothernameifailll] |
| Hard to believe there's only 3 episodes left. |

| Next season??I heard there is a Ova around August I hope it will be a beach holiday trip ^^ |
| I love the way everyone knew Izaya was an asshole from the beginning but loved him for it until the full extent of his assholery was revealed and since then everything he does is HATE HATE HATE. I still adore him. He absolutely made this episode for me, tbh. At "Kyaho! Kanra-chan deeeeeesu!", I died a little.<3 That and Shinra's mug, and the word "knockers". Still loved it. Can't believe it's ending soon... |
| " whats next on durarara!!!" showed Shizou under rain o - o ... Im not intrested to read manga or the novel about drrr cause its just like a spoiler to me , but im dying to see whats going to happen next episode : / And haha, yes , I would love to know how to play izaya's shogi-chess-joker-checkers game :D:D:D |

| My mom said im special . ~* |
| Mikado continues to be absolutely useless and they keep dilly-dallying with not much ever happening. I hope the big conflict that it's been building up for the past 5-6 episodes is actually worth it. |
| Wow, Seiji grew a brain and a heart at the same time ( but i don't think it'll last long) ... OMG cliffhanger! ....again !...... TwT |
| I found it kind of funny that everyone knew it was Anri when they thought of her 'big knockers' |

Blutspender said: Is Anri the only girl at Raira with glasses and big boobs? No, just the only one that Mikado and Kida know. |
| I think it's pretty pointless to tell a character that is clearly used to pacifism to grow a pair. It's not within Mikado's characteristics. (Not now anyway.) He created Dollars as somewhat of a joke and to break free from the mundane reality he was living in. So it's only natural that he's completely baffled that this has turned into a situation out of his control, and especially one that became quite too serious for his relaxed fantasy. You gotta remember, he's kept himself isolated since he was a kid and so his perspective of reality is warped in such a way that he doesn't admit to the bad. (For example, how he confronted Namie that she should turn herself in, thinking the situation should be that simple.) But I won't deny that Mikado has the potential for a much more...serious personality. He came up with the Dollars meeting idea, after all, and reading the novel, it's this and several other conflicts he's pitted in that eventually allows him to grow the pair you all wish he would've grown already. |

| wow now Kida thinks that Anri is part of the dollars and now she is kidnapped by the Yellow Scarves well mainly the Blue Square who are now part of the Dollars and wow Mikado is useless,anyway i wonder what is going to happen to Anri and Izaya is still a little bit loopy >.> |

| oh my god, the ending's gonna be awesome. |

I thought he already had at the Dollars meeting, the scale this time however is a lot bigger than what happen then and he lacks info on the bigger picture right now. He seems to got himself back on track and he is probably the only one who can really fix this problem. While Anri did take action she's only made matters worse and Kida too busy trying to keep his group in line and sort out everything he's learned to do anything. Mikado's in best position out of the 3 to work things out even if he is flying blind. |

| I'm glad that Shizuo finally made an appearance again in the anime. :DD But I do hope that Mikado does something about Dollars. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
Kida really needs to get his sh*t together. They're nothing but the Yellow Yakuza at this point. And even though it's good advice, I don't know if I'd be taking it from that psycho Seiji. Mikado, don't take his ideas on love too seriously. I'm not worried about Anri at all, so much for that cliffhanger. I'm just anxious to see how things turn out next episode. Everyone can't be ignorant forever. |
