Wark Say posted:I think the implication that Chikage was getting up after the first three punches was badass enough to make up for the no-show in the fight. Chikage's girlfriends chastising him for getting his rear end kicked and Shizuo actually being enough of a bro to drop him at Shinra's was kinda funny. What actually got me laughing out loud (and a bit grossed out) was Namie's narration/monologue about how fake and foolish all human relationships are, except for her love of her little brother Seiji of course. Taking into account the very first arc of the series and how things went down because of said character's being "too legit to quit", I can't help but to find the whole spiel really dumb and super funny. On Namie. She said her love of Seiji is not a love for Seiji the person. Stating Seiji the person, "is scum." Honestly the lady just has issues.

InspectorCarbonara posted:I will never get tired of people picking fights with Shizuo without knowing that's a bad idea. The guy probably knew it was a bad idea after he took the first punch. The reason Shizuo brought him Shinra is because he kept coming at him anyway while taunting him.

SyntheticPolygon posted:I dunno about that. Durarara has shown multiple times that Russian assassins are extraordinarily competent. Egor could go toe-to-toe with whatever Ruri was and Simon is probably the only person who could block a Shizuo punch. A thing about Egor is that he is better suited for most jobs then assassins considered to be better then him for the simple fact that he never carries any weapons on him. Egor's claim to fame is that he is pretty much Bullseye from Marvel comics able to use almost anything as a lethal weapon. So yeah the Russian assassins are really good. Also on Yadogiri Jinnai keep an eye on him everybody and make sure you remember him. Also Fun fact Vorona and Slon are Russian for Crow and Elephant.

Nate RFB posted:That was Aoba and his cronies who seem to worship the Dollars. Tanaka is considered to to be the most common/bland last name. So Mikado pretty much does have John Smith as his online handle. To elaborate on Mikado's name Walker wondered when he first showed up if it was his real one. His name more or less translates as "Emperor of The Dragon Peak"

Senerio posted:I was rewatching the episode to see the bad animation (because I didn't really pay attention to that the first time), and I thought of this when they got to the Anri/Vorona fight scene, because Anri was basically telling Vorona that she would let her go no problem if she just left. Sadly Vorona is crazy and was not going to if Celty had not shown up. Plus she is still crazy and plans on coming back. Presumably better armed and prepared which could be bad.

Something little about this episode. Remember when Sloan first showed up Vorona confirmed that he had just finished a job he was given. Given the scene later in the episode it's not too hard to figure out what job he was given.

Sloan: "Why did the Black Bike take that Kid?" Varona: "For food." Sloan: "You're not thinking clearly are you." Varona: "Affirmative, I am not thinking clearly." I sort of loved that part. The words are not completely correct but this was more or less their exchange.

Darth Walrus posted:Gotta say, though, the fact that Slon, a professional assassin (for a given value of 'professional') can even come close to accurately replicating a Shizuo attack is pretty scary. He actually is far more professional then Vorona. He's weird on his own time. When doing a job or talking business with an employer, he goes for pure professionalism.

Nate RFB posted:So he factions that were at play here... To be exact Akane's father had hired Sloan to kill the three guys that Shizuo was blamed for killing. Akane's father did not want it to get out that he put the hit on the 3 guys right away so he let Shizuo take the fall for a bit. Sloan and Varona kidnapped his daughter on Yadogiri Jinnai's orders which is why he sent the Top Brass of his Yakuza to take them out. Varona's father made a deal with the Yakuza to spare her despite her crimes against both the Russion Mob and Yakuza and Egor was the one relaying the deal. Varona and Sloan attacked Akane on orders from Yadogiri. (He knew that Celty was hired on as a bodyguard and Varona wanted to take her out for fun.) Yadogiri before going into hiding from the Yakuza for stuff we don't know he did used to be Ruri's manager who apparently made her do some bad stuff or something. Varona's job to take on Anri was by a different client. (Presumably Izaya as he like the only other person that would do that.) Yadogiri had nothing to do with Shizuo, Izaya framed Shizuo for the murder and tried to get Akane to kill him. As a result of Shizuo getting involved with Akane and the Yakuza, Varona and Sloan's kidnapping failed. As retribution for messing up his plan by getting Shizuo involved Yadogiri had Izaya stabbed.

Nate RFB posted:In the previous episode Shiki made the mental connection to Hollywood/Ruri when he was talking with Shinra about Shizuo not being the killer; what was the point of that connection if the person who killed them was Sloan? Was it to suggest that the previous murders were actually contracts to Sloan/Varona instead of Ruri? Shiki I believe just thought Shizuo was the only one who could have killed the men so brutally with his bare hands. He then thought of Hollywood when re realized their was another barehanded murderer. It was probably to keep us guessing what the deal with the murders was.

Messed up people being involved in complicated shenanigans is kind of what the show is all about. Other then being an Assassin Egor seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

SyntheticPolygon posted:The gang's name is also called Dragon Zombie so they're pretty cool. And I am glad Izaya finally appears to have purchased some friends, even if a few probably want to kill him. If I remember correctly. Adabashi causes chaos a bit longer burns down Ruri's house. And ends up in a fight with Mikado because Mikado pretends to be Ruri to lure him into a trap. Kida then saves Mikado and the events of the show play out with the change being Mikado was pretending to be Ruri instead of a generic gang member. Also it was Mikage instead of Izumi that defeated Adabashi and brought him to Izaya's place to join up with their gang. Still Adabashi if he has one thing going for him, it's that he is very capable actually incapacitating Anri for a bit.

This is kind of true. Glasses girl that tried to murder him was beaten by Izaya, Namie was beaten by Mikado, Adabashi was beaten by a combo of Kida and Mikado before being taken out by Izumi. Izumi was betrayed by Kadota's gang, set on fire by Walker and sent to prison. Mikage was the only named character there that other characters have not beat in some way.

Zettace posted:Wasn't Ran Izumi in season 1? He was a Blue Squares member wasn't he? And I'm pretty sure the scar on his face is when Kadota's crew saved Saki. If I recall correctly, Walker threw a molotov at them which must have left that burn scar. Correct to be accurate he was the leader of the Blue Squares and the one who kidnapped Saki and broke her legs. Kida even asked one of the Blue Squares Members in this episode if Izumii had goten out of Prison. In other connection stuff that people likely forgot. One of Aoba's gang members called him Izumii and Aoba stated he disliked that name because it reminds him of his older brother, and last episode Aoba got a call and said "I see so brother has been released from prison."

OnimaruXLR posted:Hey novel people, is what Izaya did to cool karate lady to get her under his thumb addressed in a flashback later, or is the explanation that happened this week all we're going to get? Mikage's just like Saki. She pretty much just worships Izaya. Anyway I think a bit more went on in the novel but they cut it out. Earthworm was threatened by Izumii is a few ways and he planned on raping her. Mikage stopped him stating she is against defilement. (Though she is fine with him smashing her face in or setting her on fire.) Ran then states Mikage owes him a favor and leaves stating his job there is done. Anyway Earthworm now works for Izaya as she is slashed by Haruna offscreen.

She got her arms smashed by Izumii. (Izumii did smash Saki's legs in the past however.) It was Earthworm Amphisbaena leader who captured Izaya. Shijima the Drug Dealer guy (Whose fake boss was the same fake boss that Earthworm had.) is the one meeting with Mikado.

In the Novels she shows up during Izaya's very first scene. She is not named or anything then. It was cut in the anime but later shown as a flashblack during the scene were Izaya is hospitalized and she tried to kill him. Pretty much she was a insignificant person that wanted to screw Izaya over. But yeah no one imagined she would be such a big spanner in the works stealing Celty's head.
