I love how all the peices are slowly coming together! Each episode is getting me more and more pumped up about whats coming next XD
Something tells me though that its the final battle isn’t going to end with Izaya being the savior but rather coming out as some sorta evil bystandard (if that makes sense)… I’m imagining a parallel to what happened with shizuo, a giant reveal and then izaya disappears >_>
The whole 5 episode thing is depressing T_T im hoping they’ll put in another season or OAV later >_<

Oh definitely, I agree! The momentum is picking up and facts are crammed in together every passing episode.
I didn’t mean to portray Izaya as the savior, rather that was done with a kidding tone of showing his sadistic ways. Definitely, he’s a voyeur to the R!
I would so love season two and the novels do have that much material which would be totally stupid to pass up. Hopefully, we would hear some good news soon! ^^;

anri has the most control over her members so she could fight with the full force of the slashers
next would be mikado,why? check this line from time line of durarara :”Kadota and some thirty Dollars members pretending to be Yellow Turbans engage other Yellow Turbans in battle and defeat them” show that they are more loyal to mikado
and finally masaomi, though he does have fearsome abilities, his members also contain several members of his former enemy gang blue squares so they arent really that loyal in him and he didnt invite them.
so all in all anri has possibly the biggest chance to win but mikado also has 4 strong members in his:shizuo, celty, kadota and simon, and masoami has really low chance in winning this though…

but then Shizu-chan also later quits Dollars and just stays away from the whole fight, focusing on Izaya instead.
Not that it makes a difference, just thought I’d point that out~
:glasses

that happens MUCH later in the novels…. and your spoiling the other guys…
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Amado, totally agree with you. Anri has the power to see through all of the scheming and dorama! Hopefully Mikado does too. Team Dollars seems pretty hot and heavy right now because of Celty, Shizu-chan and Dotachin gang.
Now, just looking forward to how things would climax and I expect something big like WHAT?!

maybe I should stop adding links to my comments since they always disappear…

Oh noes! I bring them back so no worries there! ^^;

whaaaaat?! only 5 episodes left?! noooooooo~~~ just when shizu-chan’s missing in this episode~~~ er, blabbing nonsense things…
anyway, if Izaya isn’t the “final boss” or rather, there’s no “final boss”, how can this anime end? i mean, the typical scenario would be they defeat the “final boss” and live happily ever after. but then again, this ain’t a typical anime to begin with so~~~ i think we should just wait with what Narita-san’s stirring up for us. i hope he won’t disappoint me/us. 😉

I get the same reaction whenever counting down. It’s just four more episodes now as I sit here to review the 20th.
Ah well, coming back to what is exactly going to happen, I would leave it up to Narita and go whaaaa~ (:wah) later. Hopefully, we won’t be disappointed! ^^;

Hmm… I would think that Izaya would still be evil and a ‘boss’. But something that would be even more evil would appear, and show that Izaya was actually used too. Like, SHingen and and his father. That would be a possible twist in the story. 😀
Perhaps that Izaya would then become a good perosn, and they would work together to ‘kill’ the ‘final boss’. 😀
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
work together to beat the ‘final boss’?
no idea who and if there is a ‘final boss’ but I do know someone blindsided izaya and left him bleeding in the street at the end of vol.6
the anime will miss a great part if they dont make a 2nd season since vol.1-3 is just the beginning of their adventure.
ill spoil you guys a bit:yakuza, mafia, motor gangs, serial killers and a “revived” gang will show up after this vol.
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
whoops edit the last part on the 1st paragraph:
“at the end of vol.6” not vol.3
how could I miss that :dot
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
@ Starry, There was a time when I thought, who could be more evil than Izaya? Why, Shingen! But, it’s still dubious how he would show up in the whole fray. He’s definitely after Celty’s body now! :dot
But I can never imagine Izaya as a good person, like maybe in our dreams where he’s all good? fufuu~ ^^; With this series, I’m not even sure about who the final boss is. So, we’ll just have to wait and see.
@ amado, Aaaaaaah! I want a season 2 NAO! Btw, I think the studio would go for it because Drrr!!! has definitely an increasingly budding fanbase. Vol. number fixed! ^^;

People, use the spoiler tag when you must refer to something in the novel. It’s there for a reason. -_-;
Picturing Izzy as savior is like making Jesus look like the Devil’s advocate on the issue of justice. o.O;
For me, it’s near impossible to picture him helping others just because he wants to them to realize they’ve been bad. He practically lives on the reactions of humans, and loves to feed on the negative ones even more. In any case, he doesn’t act without something to benefit him in that sense of his satisfaction.
I, however, certainly agree that not all these events that played out into his hand are all maneuvered by him and a lot of it is due mostly to the weaknesses in the important characters of this overall plot. Izaya just provides the right leverage to make things worse.
But even if he’s such a big influence on this upcoming war, like all good “war†stories, there’s not just one target mastermind. He may seem like the big bad on the sidelines now but when things start to really stir up and take on the domino effect, more antagonists are going to sprout up and with different intentions (and arsenal) at that. And it’s not like they’re going to sit idle knowing Izaya’s got the nice comfy perfect view of the whole battlefield so some crazy dude is going to attempt to do things his way if you get what I mean. This is all just vague speculation, of course, but the chances of another person dragging Izaya down a little is something I don’t think a lot of people would expect (but you have to remember that ‘Bukuro isn’t a closed off city, too, y’know). Basically, I think since Izaya is so focused on making head-bomb explode he let his guard down which makes the theory of him being an omnipotent final boss kinda “eh, not really†at this point in time.
Damn, that was long.That being said, on Mikado, he seems too concerned about the well-being of his friends and Dollars to really worry that Izaya is leading him in the direction he’s trying to avoid. Sure, he is the leader of the most influential gang in town and pretty badass when he has to be but he still has that very innocent personality. And since Izaya is the best, fastest source of information he can get, he practically set aside any cautions that he should have kept in order to try and maintain order among the gangs.
Anri, I can’t see as being a mediator this early in the game. Even with the knowledge that Mikado is the leader of Dollars, she’d still be hesitant on what to do because revealing that to Mikado and Masaomi might break up their friendship. You also have to add the fact that though she gets along very well with them and vice-versa, she doesn’t fully comprehend how deep their friendship is so someone (possibly Celty) might have to convince her that it’s alright to tell the truth. Whether they all confront each other and spill the secrets before it’s too late is another issue.
Finally, OMG, SIMON~!!! <333 Let it be known that Russian Sushi is awesome because everyone can take their hats off there.
And I still can’t believe we only have 5 more episodes left. Of course that automatically equals a second season guaranteed cuz…it’s just stupid not to have one, ne? ;D

Xiao-chan, I was more on the sarcastic side when I said Izzy would come in prancing to save the day. I call him a smexy bastard for a reason, ne~ XD I think he’s a complete sadistic voyeur, who enjoys seeing others squirm under their skins in reaction to the information he lets slip. I don’t expect any goodness from him rather I would like to see him beat up by Shizu-chan! XD
I totally agree that there are other elements than Izaya who can take advantage of the whole discord spreading across ‘Bukro. Shingen, Shiki and even the oldies from Blue Squares have that destructive steak that is lacking in most of the Dollars members because they belong from every walk of life.
I would look forward to Mikado not relying on Izaya too much and Anri getting over her hesitation. I liked the fact how she’s bonding with Celty because they definitely have common factors going for them. These two joining forces would be very formidable indeed! Masaomi is just so past-driven that it’s not even funny. I would love to see the shackles taken away from him but again that’s dreaming for too much. :/
I wish Simon would play an active part in the ensuing war, he’s strong and resourceful, we need people like him! Looking forward to watching the Dotachin gangs shenanigans at Simon’s sushi.
Like KnT, I’m dying to get news of another season of Drrr!!! If so many shitty anime can get two, three seasons for fan service, please just let some good ones go on and get it over with for better conclusions! ^^;
