i must agree that Shizu-chan being king and Celty being queen is soooooo appropriate! *shipper mode activate* anyway, smexy bastard Izaya mentioned about who is the Joker but he did not continue to say the name and he seems pissed (a powerful enemy for him i guess?). is it Simon? or anyone else? what does anyone think?

Oh yeah! I’m very strongly shippy about Shizuo/Celty. They just suite each other too much! :spark
I think Shingen could be the joker as he’s quite unpredictable and nobody seriously knows what’s he up to. Izaya should be the strategist god-modding rather than participating in game. I’m not sure he would be dip into this whole mess until the last move.

the obviously izaya since he didnt bother with continuing in naming it(saying simon, anri or kadota is pretty easy enough to say).
joker is a wild card and is usually a trick or trap in card games(either way its usually not good for the one who has it) so it fits izaya’s character.
saki worships izaya just like a few other girls(mika, that girl in ep 2, haruna and probably more).

He had already named Simon and Shinra in the beginning and he’s too narcissistic to not mention his name. I think it’s Shingen because of his unpredictable nature. If you watch that scene, Izaya’s brow creased as if he hated whoever it is (I would’ve guessed it to be Shizuo if he was not already mentioned as the King).
Anyway, aren’t there too many stalkerish girls in this series? Why does Saki has to fangirl on Izaya so much! Uggh, less points for her in from my eyes now. :/
PS: Would definitely give the Masaomi/Saki conversations a read.

I have also read some parts in the novel(anni_fiesta)
its impossible for it to be shingen since he doesnt seem to appear again after talking with izaya, at least in vol.3.
so candidates are:izaya, kadota and maybe anri.
though I think its likely izaya like Amado said but kadota could be counted as a wild card like what this episode showed us, plus kadota was izaya’s classmate back in the old days.

Actually, now I don’t think it’s Shingen either. Might be someone from the Dotachin gang, who knows? A wildcard like Yumasaki can be it as well. Kadota or even Shinra seem a possibility, though I have issues with the latter having no guts whatsoever! Even Izaya seems a possibility now.
Aargh, we’ll have to wait and see the upcoming episodes. :sigh

Question;
How the hell is Hiroshi Kamiya the final boss?
How the hell did this happen?
How the hell did Dota-chin get Dragon Ball Z eyebrows?
Did Izaya not call himself the joker out of fear of lawsuit?
How is Masoami the leader of a gang?
Why did Saki’s hair change so much between shots?
Why did ef-a tale of melodies have such a bittersweet ending?
:wah Nande? Nande? Nande? Nande? Nande? Nande? :tantrum
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
ok ill try to answer those:
because he’s causing the conflict between the slashers, yellow scarves and dollars
izaya manipulated the events and people(like he always does)
ask the writer Narita Ryohgo
maybe….
if I answer this one, itl be a spoiler so ill hint, he’s good…
most likely dyed her hair yellow like masaomi but since hospitalized, she cant dye it again
dunno
well I tried answering all of it…

@ Flags, I ROTFL’d on your comment! Lemme go one by one.
– I seriously don’t know but Hiroshi Kamiya being himself always takes awesome roles, like don’t you love to hate Izaya? XD
– So, Izaya’s been masterminding all of this, godmodding on the pieces of puzzle. Like amado said, Narita knows best! :/
– Kadota always wore that hat, so who knew he had weird eyebrows? But he sure looks badass to me after this episode!
– LOL! I seriously dunno about the Joker bit, could be anybody and after amado’s comment, I’m not even sure of Shingen now. Hmm!
– Because, he started it in middle school and being the prominent guy he is (refer to his antics throughout the series), the previous and converted guys in the gang respect him. Though, I was quite sad hearing his story because his had more shame than the other two. Anri wins in pain while Mikado is the goody-two-shoes.
– I would agree with amado on this one, she might just have grown out off her dyed hair.
– ef is still on my watch-list, if it’s something bittersweet like Bokura ga Ita, I’m staying away from it!
@ amado, thanks for the input. <3

[…] Episode 18 of Durarara!! focuses on the Yellow Scarves’ shogun, Masaomi Kida, revealing just how much he has been played by Izaya. For a detailed description of the events, and lots of good screen caps (including an animated GIF of Izaya’s insane actions with the match seen above) check out Kyokai’s review at Metanorn. […]

Anri feels that she can’t tell Mikado precisely because he and Masaomi are best friends though all the more reason NOT to keep secrets from them but it’s not like that’s going to happen so it’s going to be one tough jam. Moreover, she already has an idea of set up this whole fiesta in the first place and that’s Izaya so we still have to go over how Anri and Izaya know each other before anything else.
On Masaomi, his return really shows how much he’s changed from the time he was just another middle school kid looking for a place to belong by fighting on the streets to someone who finally has something safeguard. In a way, he has matured and grown smarter since that incident with Saki but at the same time, his insecurities are still there which is a disadvantage to him if the other members don’t see him fit to lead them anymore and can possibly use this weakness against him.
Adding on to that, the biggest problem that will continue to grow is his fear about telling and confronting the truth with Mikado cuz that will just make him (them) more vulnerable to being played around by Izaya. Izaya pretty much knows Masaomi is too shameful about his past to want to tell Mikado about it, and with Mikado seemingly unsuspecting of him, it gives him great leverage to go “Hey, Masaomi, I wonder what your best friend will think if I told him…â€
*sigh* It’s going to be a while before these three can resolve anything between them. Damn you, Izzy.
As for Saki, I feel bad for the poor girl. Even more if she really does believe it when someone tells her that Izaya was using her to get to Masaomi, she probably wouldn’t hold a grudge because she’s too neck-deep in her creepy admiration for Izaya (he tends to have that effect on many, apparently). Basically, he’s somehow managed to completely brainwash her into viewing him like some sort of god or something so it’ll be difficult to try and clear that mentality out of her when it’s been there so long.
Finally, Dotachin and Yumacchi RAWKS. That is all.
And I think anyone’s animal instinct would go red at the mere presence of Izaya. Lol xDD
Looks like next week, we’ll be getting more dorama. Oh noz, that’s no good. ^^;
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
The trio dorama is too good, like a spider web slowly unfurling. Too much there to even over analyze. Anri seems the key here and I would look forward to her meeting with Izaya about how she takes up with him.
It seems as if Masaomi’s completely ruled by his past, whether he likes it or not. I don’t see him telling Mikado or even Anri about himself. Until the end I expect him to try keeping everything in and not taking anyone’s help, especially not his best friends. It would be such a shocker when he finds out about the rest two. <.<
Drrr!! And stalker women rule, unfortunately for us Saki is one too. I still like her though even when I was very bitchy about Harima and Haruna. There's definitely a spark in her that cause others to empathize with her.
Dotachin and Yumasaki definitely rocked this episode. Like WOW!!! I fangirl'd them a lot!
Izzy being Izzy would keep on standing on the sidelines enjoying the fray, I would love to see his role revealed!
POWUH: Novice (36-50) with 42 comments
that’s one cool way of wrapping up things, Xiao! anyway, what’s your opinion with the “Joker” Izaya mentioned?
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I was once so sure about Shingen but I think it could be anyone from Dotachin gang or even Izaya himself. Dunno… <.<
