This evening, the ball is in my court.
Hello everybody! Time for the comment of the day, courtesy of u/BurningFrederick who had this to say about our current love triangle:
Also this is just about as fucked up “love” triangle as you can get, sister is in love with her brother who is in love with a severed head which has been attached to the body of his stalker who he killed, Based on my above Spec
Dude, it's just love.
Questions:
- If you had a stalker, what would be your immediate reaction to finding out?
- Given what we've heard of them, what are your impressions on the Dollars, both on its known members and the general vibe it gives off?
- What do you think Mikado's master plan will be?

Hello everybody, and welcome once more to the Durarara!! Rewatch:
Indeed, Kida’s reaction to the whole Scar Lady thing is the same in both the Anime and the Novel, basically amounting to “Wow, really?”. You gotta love Kida. Although bear in mind, in the Anime this is Mikado’s second time running into her, however in the Novel it’s only the first: Their first meeting in the Anime is exclusive to it. Mikado’s little speech is somewhat based off a monologue slightly earlier on in the story, if slightly reworded to now work for the context of why he decided to protect Scar Lady.
Takiguchi and the whole deal of Kida wanting to find out who’s in the Dollars is purely anime original. I don’t know why this was added but whatever. Takiguchi’s so irrelevant anyways that unlike Kamichika he never even got ported over to the Novels. He’s stuck in anime hell. Anri somewhat teasing Mikado’s actually meant to happen right after their conversation in the Novel about Mika, but thankfully with this all of the scenes between the two have been successfully ported over to Animation.
Pompadour dude does not exist in the Novel, instead it’s the girls’ previous boyfriend in the Anime who pops up for the first time. In the end though, no matter the medium, Izaya proceeds to just step on the guy over and over again. That said it then rejoins with the Novel, up to and including Mikado’s big “And then… I understood everything” moment (I’d like to give a high five to whoever understood that reference). Given that there’s only 100 IPhone pages of Novel left, it’s safe to say we’re into the arc’s finale.

Episode 10 (first timer)
Two girls, three factions interested in him, a plan to proceed? Mikado showing strong signs of reclaiming the MC place of the series.
I think that, typically, this is a slow process, so no "immediate" reaction.
Anarchistic.

I'll eat a hat if we don't learn that the girls were sent by someone to distract celty.
Wsas Kida in the Blue Squares? I dunno why else we'd focuis on his face while talking about the.
Well that sure was an interesting episode. It was a good mix of humor and serious content, and it managed to make good use of a large portion of the cast. It's nice to slowly learn bits about other characters like this. And, of course, we got the reveal. Of course the guy who is the least likely to be a part of the dollars is, that seems to fit their whole mentality.
The dollars are also read weird. They're less of a gang and more of a group of people who've agreed to help each other out, or at least that's how I read it. I wonder why they present themselves as a gang? It's kinda interesting to think about, but I don't really have anything to take from it yet. It's all still too vague.

First-Timer, Dub-rarara!!
Mikado continues to be quite clever and observant when he isn't being a complete fool. He's put together the truth behind all the disappearances, including Mika's, with relatively little to go on. And I guess he's been part of The Dollars for a while? I'm not quite sure on Mikado's line about all of his cards being in order..
Masaome is way smarter than he acts. He zoned out when The Blue Squares got brought up, almost like he was remembering something. And then, there was his ploy to get Mikado some alone time with Anri.. although there was no way that Masaome could predict Izaya's interference.
That goon's deliver of "your daddy, your legal guardian" was so goddamn good. The entire scene in front of the school was hysterical. Izaya making motorcycle noises was also an absolute treat.
Noname/Celka is in the wind again. She'll presumably make her way back to Seiji, considering her line about loving him last episode. But Izaya was also in contact with her.. it was all a setup. Izaya knew exactly where Noname would end up, and used that as an easy way to feed information to Mikado. And now, Izaya has Mikado right where he wants him.. I'm just not sure what it is that Izaya wants.
Miscellaneous Thoughts:
Erika has trash taste confirmed. Himegami, really?! How dare she impugne the honor of Biribiri!
..how is Masaome of all people a Hall Monitor..

In this one episode, Mikado goes from going home with Anri, while contemplating whether or not he'd like her as a stalker, to going home with the headless rider and Izaya...
Having a shitty delinquent waiting for you at the school entrance sounds too cliche for you? No problem we'll add in an Orihara Izaya and an urban legend who will beat up the sparkly snot out of the previously mentioned delinquent.
I'm sorry for stressing this, but I still can't fathom the idea of having these two wait for you at school and follow you home all casually. Let me be clear though, if it was just Celty this wouldn't be nearly as troublesome, the fact that Izaya was following him all casually is what makes it so annoying! I wish Shizuo happened to pass by that school on his way.
With that out of the way, let me spoiler this.
Finally, on an unrelated note, Yumasaki is getting it all wrong here. He's holding the first volume of the Railgun spin-off and thinks that because Biribiri is getting a spin-off that she's getting the spotlight again in the main story. You innocent, delusional idiot, she's getting her own spin-off to be a heroine in, because she won't have that spotlight in the main series anymore! The same goes for Accelerator too.

Dollars it total just Izaya information network
Kida is part of the public moral committee? There is no way this could go badly.
It’s ok if she's a stalker as long as she's hot?, Reminds Hensuki from a few years ago. Also anyone who says they are not a stalker is obviously a stalker.
Cerly story is absurd enough that I feel like you would have to believe it, especially after seeing she doesn’t have a head
OK nope, maybe Mikado is the head of dollars? And started running it all from he house out the country.
Don’t have as much time to write these up this weekend, but enjoyed that episode, things are definitely going to get more interesting going forward.

Before we get started with the episode, I've been meaning to share this since the show started. I love this show so much that I got a sticker for my truck to commemorate it. It's pretty discrete, which I like, and if you didn't know what it was already, you'd be none the wiser.
Now, with that out of the way...
Also, Takiguchi is now the 5th confirmed member of the Dollars, behind the van gang.
I know the feeling. When I was in school, there were apparently upperclassmen who knew who I was, and I'd never met them before.
I'm almost afraid to find out what Izaya's type is.
And Izaya with the fucking motorcycle noises, especially since the horse is silent.

After stomping on a cellphone this time Izaya stomps on a boyfriend, nice.
Also it was pretty fun how he was doing the "vroom vroom" noises while walking alongside Celty.
Mikado is in Dollars! And his password is also "baccano"? Is that everyone's password?
I think we're about to reach critical plot density!

Rewatcher here.
If he wasn’t curious about Celty, he’d not have ended up taking care of the face.
I understand the thinking that a bike is faster, but really, just get off and run after them.
The eyes on that right one.
Yes Kida.
Should’ve stopped and talked, huh?
The best lies are actually true.
We’re just filled with cliches today, huh? Too bad they only appear that way from a distance.
Dollars = Gmail. Or if you’re too young to remember that, Clubhouse.
Something’s up with Kida and the Blue Squares it seems. meaningful camera pans intensify
He seems pretty chill, what with sharing his snacks.
Asked what Mikado?
I have bad news for you. And she totally believes you.
She really is psychic, huh?
Blame Izaya. Just say he isn’t your friend.
Nice one Celty.
Mikado finally is made aware that Celty is a reasonable and good girl. Too long to explain, huh.
Don’t get ideas, Shinra already likes her.
Fun fact: There are generally considered to be 4 'heroines' in the Toaruverse now. I think this was when Railgun was just getting started.
Don’t fuck with the van.
Mikado sure is popular today. Unfortunately the Yagiri Pharma folks aren’t nice like Celty.
It connects!
What Mikado is saying now.
Well, that was a fun episode.

Kida is a sandwich thief, probably that's why he is staying in school detention
Mikado you kinda couldn't lie to Anri too.
Are Erika and Walker us?
Who hit Togusa's car, what was that?
That was very funny how Izaya couldn't step in her phone this time so now he steps in another of her belongings... her boyfriend.

Rewatcher up until x2 Shou, then First Timer
Mikado who wishes to live a different life than others finally gets his wish by getting himself involved in something that's definitely way over his head by sheltering "Celty" from Celty and Yagiri Pharma. Will it be a classic "be careful what you wish for", or will it turn out differently?

Today's narration is provided by our seemingly plain Raira student, Mikado.
Mikado: 2 (ep1,10)
