Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Three "ra"s, by the way.Ikebukuro, a district of Tokyo. A young man named Mikado Ryugamine has moved there from "the sticks", clueless as to how things work in the big city. Reunited with his childhood friend Masaomi Kida for the first time in years, Mikado is shown the way around town as he tries to adapt to the hectic ways of the busy metropolis and discovers its many dark secrets.Word on the street is that a headless biker called the Black Rider (a modernized Dullahan from Celtic Mythology) has been riding about committing acts of vigilante justice in a spectacularly violent fashion.There's a guy with inhuman strength who dresses like a bartender, a shady Knowledge Broker, a genius Back-Alley Doctor, and a conspiracy about a pharmaceutical company involved in human trafficking. Then there's the "Dollars", a mysterious "colorless" gang whose members and activities are shrouded in secrecy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Durarara!! is a series of thirteen light novels published by Dengeki Bunko from 2004 to 2014 and written by Ryohgo Narita, the creator behind Baccano!, with art and designs by Suzuhito Yasuda of Yozakura Quartet fame. An official English translation can now be bought in the U.S., translated by Stephen Paul.A sequel series, Durarara!! SH (Snake Hands) as part of the ten year anniversary celebration, came out April 2014, continuing from the final novel after a Time Skip of a year and a half. SH was licensed by Yen Press in October 2020.Yahiro Mizuchi, a student from a distant hot springs village in Akita, listening to the advice of a tourist, has moved to Ikebukuro and transferred into Raira Academy. He wants to see the Urban Legends that have become mundane and more importantly, can he, with the strength and instincts of a monster in battle, fit in with them?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })He gets tangled with new rumors and mysteries such as the kidnappings by the Headless Rider and her public disappearance or the help for hire group that will resolve anything, Snake Hands.An anime adaptation aired in Japan from January through June 2010, running for 24 episodes, with two additional episodes on the DVD release. The anime adaptation was directed by Takahiro Omori and animated by Brain's Base, the same studio/director combo that adapted Baccano!. Aniplex picked up the series for North American distribution, and the DVD releases were done in three groups in January, March, and May 2011. The show aired on Adult Swim starting June 2011.A second season was announced as part of the 10th anniversary of the franchise at the Dengeki Game Festival in March 2014. The original cast reprised their roles. A brief promotional video can be found here.There is a crossover light novel with A Certain Magical Index called A Certain Magical Index VS Durarara!! and one with Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens called Durarara!! x Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens.Check out the character page if you have time. Not to be confused with Toradora!, or Josuke Higashikata's Kiai.Shizuo Heiwajima, the aforementioned bartender with inhuman strength, was chosen to represent Durarara!! in the crossover Fighting Game Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax by Sega, with Celty Sturluson and Izaya Orihara as support characters. All three also became summon-able allies in the Japanese release of Devil Survivor 2.Warning!! The examples below may include spoilers for both the light novels and the anime.

Memento Macguffin: Shizuo's bartender suits were a present from his brother, which is why he continues to wear them despite being fired from the aforementioned job quite awhile ago. Damaging them, just like everything else, is one of his Berserk Buttons.

Madness Mantra: Shizuo has one in a scene in the novel in order to hold himself back from destroying just about everything: 'Kill'em, kill'em, kill'em, kill'em ...' Might also be seen as somewhat of a Survival Mantra. Saika has one of "Mother mother mother mother mother mother mother..." that it spams message boards with during Slasher attacks. Later on it switches to "Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo..."

Crosses the Line Twice
 Durarara!! / int_148e222c
comment
And while we're on that subject, about 90 percent of the cast is off their rocker, with accompanying situations that are as hilarious as they are frightening. Partially justified in that most of the characters seem to consider their problems their own and for one reason or another don't want to (or feel like that can't) rely on anyone for help. Additionally, how do you treat someone for something like having a codependent relationship with sentient sword?

Darker and Edgier
 Durarara!! / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: As the novel goes on, the plot gets darker and more serious. The injuries some characters sustain is just jarring in comparison to the anime. The second season of the anime decides not to slouch on this as blood, broken bones, scars from fire, and smashed faces frequently show up. Durarara!! x2 continues this with new characters' and their backstories being increasingly darker and fights are much more violent as it goes on with several characters retaining heavy wounds after brutal conflict. Just compare how eclectic and sometimes upbeat the two first volumes of the soundtrack "Psychedelic Dreams" and the Shou OST are and then take a look on how tense and angsty became the music in the Ten soundtrack. "Ketsu" starts with a very comedic lighthearted episode and as the season progresses, it gets more and more chaotic and infuriating.

Tempting Fate: When Kida first shows Mikado around Ikebukuro, he warns him about three people (Shizuo, Simon, and Izaya) that he should stay away from before assuring him that he'll probably never meet any of them anyways. Naturally, they both end up running into all three. At once. Also, Kida's inner monologue in Episode 5 sure seems to hit home in recent episodes:

comment
Calvinball: Izaya apparently plays some bizarre, single-player hybrid of chess, Shogi and Reversi on a Go board in his spare time, possibly symbolizing that he's not playing by anybody's rules. Shogi = Yellow Scarves; Chess = Dollars; Reversi = Saika... And then he sets the whole board on fire. Cards = Those he calls 'main players.' King = Shizuo (he burns that one first), Queen = Celty, and by the time he gets to thinking about who the Joker is, he just goes "Aw, who cares?" and tosses all the cards into the fire. This instance of Calvinball is apparently especially random, since Izaya contradicts all of the above in Episode 21 by having Anri be the black queen and Yellow Scarves be black Reversi pieces.

All Wishes Granted: In the final arc, Masaomi, Anri and Mikado are reunited with each other as friends, the Van Gang avenges Kadota, Celty finds her head, Shinra doesn't lose Celty, Shizuo finally rids Ikebukuro of Izaya, Kujiragi gets her freedom, Mika and Seiji get to be together (well, not exactly in a healthy romantic way, mind you), and the Dollars are finally destroyed. On a much darker note, Haruna gets to express her love to Nasujima.

Staredown Faceoff: In an OVA, Shizuo and Izaya start duking it out all over the city and eventually come stand head to head with each other. Naturally, Shizuo takes the opportunity to try punching the other man, who dodges. Masaomi prepares to fight Chikage and the two engage in a stare down. Just before initiating the brawl, Masaomi grins, believing he can easily win. He quickly finds out he was very, very wrong. Mikado stares Aoba down as an intimidation tactic after stabbing him with a pen while negotiating. This demonstrates he is not really the nice, normal kid he appeared to be and is either suffering from Sanity Slippage or fell off the deep end long ago.

I'm a Humanitarian: Simon Brezhnev wants to assure you that his sushi has absolutely no human meat in it, only 100% fish non-human ingredients. This is probably true, as Simon is a really nice guy, but that doesn't stop people from speculating; the fact that he has on two occasions threatened several Yellow Scarves who were mugging people that he'd turn them into sushi does not help. People behave when he's around, though, so that's something.

Chekhov's Gun: A literal one. Early on in the third arc, Izaya makes a passing reference to some guns that were smuggled into Tokyo and then subsequently stolen. Four were retrieved, but one's still missing. That gun becomes important later when Horada shoots Shizuo with it.

Cordon Bleugh Chef: In one episode, Celty worries that the meal she cooked was bad, so she throws it out and later goes with Shinra to the Russian sushi place. They are served various dishes (like hamburgers) "sushi style", which considerably bothers Shinra. The restaurant itself still seems to be rather popular (and opulent), so Simon's Running Gag of a failure as a hawker apparently doesn't bother them much.

comment
Anachronism Stew: Due to time discrepancies between light novels and anime releases, the series is peppered with small and amusing inconsistencies, mostly about the release dates of some gadgets and stuff. For note, IIRC, the official date of the events in light novels is 2002, which leads to: Izaya having an iPhone three years before its official release even in the US (2005). Mikado's PC having an AGP port (normal for 2002), but sporting a Windows 7 sticker (released in 2009), and so on. The dates on computer screens and cellphones make it clear that the anime is supposed to be set in 2010. His PC is obviously a brand name bought pre-assembled (and that sticker was on the box), but then, there are indications that this was while he still was in junior high. Looks like someone was having fun with the details.

Funny Background Event: Simon's increasingly ridiculous attempts to advertise Russian Sushi during a news broadcast in the second OVA. Culminating in him kidnapping the film crew, since they were trying to film Celty. Kasuka being Kasuka, he just went with it.

Spiritual Successor: The anime is pretty obviously meant to succeed Baccano!. Along with the obvious similarities in writing and tone, it's got a similar musical style and opening sequence, not to mention several references to it sprinkled throughout. The novels series isn't so much a "successor" since both series are still running. Others would see it as more of a successor to Boogiepop Phantom.

Bilingual Bonus
 Durarara!! / int_294ed981
comment
Bilingual Bonus: At the end of Episode 8, Celty speaks Irish (with a Japanese accent). She says: Tá mé anseo, anseo (I am here, here). Also, Simon delivers a whole "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Izaya in Russian in Episode 24. Simon in general speaks fairly good Russian. So do the two tourists who ask him for direction in episode 3 (although all of them have a very noticeable accent). Weirdly, the two tourists thank him by saying "Toda Raba", which does mean "Thank you very much"... in Hebrew. They're probably meant to be Israeli tourists. Israel has a (proportionally) large Russian-speaking population. More information from the Other Wiki for the curious.

Limited Wardrobe
 Durarara!! / int_2a7e7af1
comment
Limited Wardrobe: Justified in Shizuo's case—he literally does have a closet full of bartender suits. They were a gift from his brother. Celty too, to a degree—her bodysuit is really just shadow formed in a certain way, so never really needs to change clothes; in flashbacks, she's also made it into armor and a lovely black dress. Shinra might be a walking Lampshade for this, as his white labcoat sticks out a lot and is occasionally mocked accordingly. But that is justified in Shinra's mind. Shinra wears his lab coat, even while not working and has multiple white lab including a spare in a corner for after he rolls around on the floor . When Shizuo asked him about this, Shinra explained he dresses this way by choice because he likes the color contrast between him and Celty as it is very lovey-dovey in his mind.

The Dreaded: Shizuo Heiwajima. Deliberately pissing him off is enough to get you labeled "Too Dumb to Live" unless your name is Izaya Orihara. Izaya is this to a lesser extent, since you're only at risk with him if you're somehow connected to the weird goings of Ikebukuro.

Prefers the True Form: Downplayed. Celty wears a motorcycle helmet to disguise her lack of a head. However, Shinra prefers when she isn't hiding it, loving her without her head. However, Celty worries it may be that he has a thing for dullahans in general, and doesn't know what she would do if Shinra ever met another headless woman.

Readings Are Off the Scale
 Durarara!! / int_2b3bd260
comment
Readings Are Off the Scale: The official character book, Durarara no Subete, ranks character attributes on a five-point scale (and with varying amounts of seriousness. "Single-Minded Devotion To Celty" or "Ability To Get The Point" is just as likely to appear on the stat list as "Combat Ability"). Naturally, both Shizuo's strength and capacity for destruction are listed as immeasurably high.

The hard drives are a Seagate and a Maxtor (to the extent that they never bothered to change how their model numbers work), and to top it off, it has a Sony DVD drive.

Bust-Contrast Duo: A very weird example. The Orihara twins, Mairu and Kururi, intentionally created contrasting personalities after Izaya told them one should just die if they were going to be exactly alike. Thus, in grade school they decided on their personalities- Mairu would be the outgoing one while Kururi would be the silent one. As they grew up, Mairu ended up flat-chested and Kururi became far more endowed.

Noodle Incident: There's occasionally reference to an incident where Izaya framed Shizuo for a crime. What crime that might be has never been elaborated upon. To say nothing about their high school days. Shinra was apparently doing a lot of damage control: Also, during Shinra's first official(?) date with Celty he threathened Izaya, who had been stabbed and was bored at the hospital if he kept interrupting his date. There are a number of times in the chatroom where Mairu (Mai) is about to say something before Kururi (Kyo) interrupts with the statement that whatever Mairu was typing was incredibly filthy and Not Safe for Work and assures everyone that she's already smacked her and forced her to delete it before anything was posted. Sometimes, Mai's posts are also automatically censored for containing words flagged as inappropriate—thus we of course never find out what the words in question were. Whatever happened on Celty and Shinra's day off, it involved Shooter as an antique carriage, a werewolf, and a coven of Vampire nuns. We only ever see glimpses of it.

Funny Foreigner: Simon, through no fault of his own, as well as most of the other immigrants who appear in the series The Russian tourists were fine, even spoke heavily accented though otherwise almost-perfect Russian. Emilia Kishitani thanks to her lethal cooking and terrible Japanese.

Tranquil Fury: Shizuo of all people manages this in Volume 5 when a ten-year-old runaway confesses to him and Shinra that she tried to kill him because Izaya told her that Shizuo was going to kill her father. Shizuo, against all expectations, simply smiles at her and assures her that it was all a misunderstanding which he will go about correcting immediately before leaving the room. When Tom meets him at the door and congratulates him for his uncharacteristic maturity in the situation, Shizuo simply says this and heads off to Izaya's place: Also, Mikado has his own moments too in the light novels. Walker's face is always that Slasher Smile. If he's angry, he'll probably snap his chopsticks in two, slam them right in front of your face, or set a car on fire with gasoline and a match. All that, he still smiles all the way. Shizuo has another one at the end of Volume 12. Izaya decides to finally end his rivalry with Shizuo and attempts to kill him (from afar), only for Vorona to save him, getting severely injured as a result. As Shizuo attempts to tend to her wounds, Izaya calls him and taunts him about it, from which Shizuo falls uncharacteristically silent as Izaya continues to talk. When his rival finishes, Shizuo simply tells him "Goodbye," in a calm, peaceful tone and hangs up. It should be noted that Shizuo does not use the traditional sayonara, but rather the more cultural version abayo, which means goodbye... forever. The next volume, not once does Shizuo raise his voice, nor does Izaya continue with his usual taunts as they have their Final Battle.

Conveniently Seated: Mikado gets the standard "second seat from the back along the windows", which allows him to stare outside (also at Anri) when necessary. He is also seated in front of Mika's empty desk, which allows Anri to stare past him whenever it's convenient. Once Mika and Seiji return to class, the former sits in the front row to be next to Seiji; this puts her in the same row as Anri, allowing them to exchange meaningful looks on occasion. Incidentally, Kamichika Rio is also seated alongside the windows, allowing her to give listless gazes outside during her focus episode.

Rhetorical Request Blunder: Shizuo half-jokingly tells Mairu and Kururi that he'll introduce them to his brother if they can get Izaya to throw himself in front of a dump truck. He's a bit unnerved at how quickly and cheerfully they agree to it (and probably doesn't realize they've been trying to do exactly that from that point onwards).

Petty Childhood Grudge: Izaya apparently doesn't really let go of things. Izaya and Shizuo's mutual hatred began when Shinra introduced them in high school and they took an immediate disliking to each other, proceeding to fight constantly for the rest of their time there. They continue to hold onto these grudges as adults, with the two routinely having immensely destructive battles whenever they meet and Izaya formulating complex plots to try getting rid of Shizuo. It's even acknowledged that their loathing is based off of them simply not liking one another, yet they hate each other all the same.

Polar Opposite Twins: Mairu and Kururi, Izaya's younger twin sisters. Different from each other but also from their brother; they adore Shizuo and even tell him that they'd push Izaya in front of a dump truck if it made him happy. Though admittedly, it's more so that they can be introduced to Shizuo's handsome younger brother. An Invoked Trope—in middle school they flipped a coin to see who would have which "positive human" traits in order to please their brother. Their goal was to "become the perfect human" as one, apparently.

Improvised Weapon: Street signs, chairs, guardrails, mailboxes, trash cans, vending machines, playground slides... Seiji's weapon of choice appears to be pens. Would've been absolutely awesome except he was up against Shizuo. Mikado makes better use of said pen trick when he forces Aoba into signing a contract in blood—quite literally. (It's not really improvised though—he clearly had brought it there for this very purpose.) The ballpoint pens in the series are made by Nebula. It's advertised as follows: "Doesn't break even when run over by a tank! The most durable ballpoint pen in world!"

Loving a Shadow: "I don't like you, but as long as I look at you I will never forget my love for her. So I will accept your love.". Although considering that Seiji's "love" consists of an obsession with an inanimate head and not an actual person, you could argue that he was loving a shadow from Day 1.

Glamour/Charm Person: Not much attention is called to it, but Celty's head seems to have some kind of similar power; note that three of the known people who've seen the head (the unnamed portrait painter of Episode 4, Namie and Seiji's uncle, and Seiji himself) became obsessed with the head the moment they first saw it. The portrait painter even saw Celty's whole body and her head, but still became obsessed with just the head; so much so that he says seeing it was the most important event of his life. He is also incapable of drawing the head or even describing its most basic details, feeling that each time he tries he fails to capture it properly. ...He has spent years trying to successfully draw the head, and never once has.

Inconsistent Dub: With Baccano!, strangely enough, as they take place in the same universe. The mega-corporation that appears in both series is called "Nebula" in the Baccano! dub, but Izaya calls it "Nebra" in the Durarara!! dub. Fridge Brilliance calls for that since Nebula has been around since the thirties, and considering it has ties with people such as Huey Laforet, they may have changed their name. "Nebra" could also be a Japanese mispronunciation of the English "Nebula"

Gang of Hats
 Durarara!! / int_5bf69547
comment
Gang of Hats: We've got the Yellow Scarves and the Blue Squares, who are traditional gang members who simply (wait for it) identify by what they're wearing. Then we've got Dollars, the newest and biggest kids on the block—a gang formed over the Internet. Some members know each other in real life, but mostly only know each other by their online selves, and are summoned by PDA; many are extremely hardcore Otaku (but not all). To everyone else; they're an Anonymous group that uses no visible colors to identify themselves, congregate out of nowhere, and scatter into nowhere. Their "Hat" is that they have no Hat. Yes, they're a Weaponized 4chan. Be very afraid.

Central Theme
 Durarara!! / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
Central Theme: Love as something that motivates everyone, even if for some people it becomes rather cracked and twisted. Whether it's good or evil, selfish or selfless, sane or insane, one-sided or mutual, everybody's in love with someone or something, and even if you're a freak or an outcast there's probably someone out there capable of loving you. The intersection between myth and reality. Rumors are a huge driving force behind many of the series' conflicts, and the series draws parallels between normal situations that are blown out of proportion by rumors and legitimate supernatural occurrences to show how human perception of events can be manipulated by the rumor mill. Celty, the main character, embodies this the most, being a literal Dullahan with legitimate magical powers who nonetheless is a relatively normal person. The Dollars are another example of this, with the group being an Urban Legend who eventually become real through enough people believing that they actually exist. On a similar note, the series makes a repeated point about how initial appearances aren't everything. Literally every single member of the main cast and a substantial portion of the supporting cast have hidden elements of their personality that no one would be able to guess upon first seeing them. Examples like Shizuo's incredible Super Strength despite his lack of a Heroic Build, or Izaya's Handsome Lech appearance hiding his manipulative personality grin particularly come to mind. Then there are the more serious examples, like Mikado's founding of the Dollars and his hidden Lack of Empathy and Yandere tendencies, or Anri's quiet schoolgirl persona hiding her swordfighting abilities and possession of an Evil Weapon.

Misplaced Sorrow: Kadota's gang are devastated when they find out that Kaztano has been kidnapped, but none so much as Togusa, who even claims he can't go on without the man. Why? Because Kaztano was his source for sold-out, front row tickets to see Idol Singer Ruri Hijiribe.

Homoerotic Subtext
 Durarara!! / int_6056f853
comment
Homoerotic Subtext: Pointed out by Walker and Erika. This is mainly between Mikado and Masaomi. There's some between Mikado and Aoba as well. In the anime only, Izaya has a Shizuo-complex, according to Simon. Although there's enough subtext in itself with Izaya and Shizuo's quite literal obsession with each other, in both anime and book (Izaya is constantly provoking, teasing, and manipulating Shizuo, and Shizuo constantly trying to kill Izaya (he's his No. 1 temper trigger)). It's even flat out stated by Izaya that he hates Shizuo, and his motivation for doing so means he'd never actually consider his relationship with Shizuo to be anything resembling fondness. Despite this, Izaya and Shizuo are the two most commonly shipped among fans. Erika sees some between Chikage and Kadota, and Shizuo and Izaya. Izaya is shown to actually care for none other than Shinra to the point that he's willing to go yandere on anyone who hurts him.

Something Only They Would Say: Izaya outs himself as "Kanra" when he calls Mikado "Taro Tanaka" in person. Also, after Kida leaves, Mikado wonders if he may be the new member of the chatroom. His guess is confirmed when Bakyura responds by grading Kanra the square root of three points, referencing something Mikado said in a previous episode Although as an alternative interpretation, Taro Tanaka is a generic Japanese name, akin to John Smith. Since Izaya was saying who the founder of Dollars was, he could've been offering Mikado a courtesy by not saying his real name to anyone who might've been interested.

Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story: When Kaztano is kidnapped, he claims he is a Japanese citizen (and thus his disappearance will be noticed by the authorities), but his birth certificate was destroyed in a bombing raid in World War II. His kidnappers scoff at this, pointing out he was too young.

Mistaken for Insane: Inverted. Everyone assumes Mikado as a regular kid with no abnormalities, in stark contrast to the Cast Full of Crazy, with Masaomi trying to actively keep him out of the insanity happening around them. However, Aoba finds out the hard way that Mikado is deeply twisted beyond his or even Izaya's comprehension, being the creator of the Dollars who only grows more ruthless and insane as the series progresses.

comment
Meaningful Name: Mikado Ryuugamine roughly means "Emperor of the Dragon's Peak." Which is rather apt since he's the leader of the Dollars. Izaya means "one who looks out over a crowd". It's also a reference to the biblical Isaiah. Parodied by Shizuo Heiwajima, meaning "Serene Man, Peaceful Island"... Which then goes back to being meaningful once you realize he isn't named for what he is so much as for what he aspires to be be. Izaya claims that the name "Dollars" (Daraazu) comes from the fact that nobody expected them to actually pull anything off at first; daradara means "sluggish". Also "Celty." Think about that one for a while. spoiler Selkie, for those unfamiliar with Scottish folklore

More Insulting than Intended: Exaggerated with Shizuo Heiwajima. There are countless different ways to really make him mad given his Hair-Trigger Temper, so even flimsy insults can enrage him to the point of beating people within an inch of their life. At one point a man tries to get out of paying a debt when Shizuo comes to collect by taunting Shizuo about what his younger brother would think about his current line of work. Unfortunately, mentioning Kasuka is a major Berserk Button and Shizuo throws the man into the next building.

Mugging the Monster: A panicked Nasujima runs from Anri and tries to rob the first person he sees. The first person he sees happens to be Shizuo. It doesn't go well. This is a depressingly common occurrence with Shizuo, where some thugs harass him only to realize who he is. Half the time they're being manipulated by Izaya, but there are times where they really are that stupid. Some bounty hunters start harassing the Orihara twins for information about the Black Biker. Kadota intervenes, but barely gets to do anything before the girls take out the thugs themselves.

All for shits and giggles. She's saved by Celty, but barely.

Because You Were Nice to Me: How did Tom get on Shizuo's good side? By showing him some basic human decency. This is also part of the reason that Izaya considers Shinra his only friend—because Shinra came right up and talked to him when no one else did. Oh, and Shinra also took a knife wound for Izaya once, but that's no big deal or anything.

 Durarara!! / int_766c1cc6
comment
Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: Is the question Namie asks when Izaya puts up a fake "We've moved!" notice on his apartment door with his "new" address being an undiscovered murder scene. The answer is, of course, Shizuo.

Brother–Sister Incest: Namie likes Seiji a bit too much. And by a bit too much we mean that she is willing to murder someone and go to jail on his behalf just to make him happy.

Shuji directly asks Celty the "who would win in a fight?" question, which causes her to burst out laughing. It's Shizuo against an unkillable fae with the ability to give make solid blades out pure darkness— Of course Shizuo would win.

Idol Singer: Ruri Hijiribe, who Togusa is obsessed with, and it's because of this that he is so upset when Kaztano is kidnapped; Kaztano regularly supplied him with front-row tickets to her concerts. Ruri is also none other than the serial killer 'Hollywood', not to mention 1/4 vampire.

Not Listening to Me, Are You?: Simon was too busy to listen to Shizuo's story, so Shizuo threw a motorcycle at his face. In Volume 5, Vorona starts reading a book while Slon is asking her questions about how cows grow, to why males have nipples, and so forth; eventually she just stops providing answers to his constant queries.

 Durarara!! / int_7a29b00b
comment
Wasted Beauty: Discussed. Izaya and Shizuo are considered fairly good-looking, but according to Shinra, girls wouldn't approach them during high school because Shizuo's strength and temper were terrifying and Izaya was too shady. However, Izaya manages to manipulate some girls into becoming his devoted 'followers' (which included Mikage, though she broke away after an incident and dropped out). Deconstructed with Shizuo, since his tendency to scare people off left him with very low self-esteem and a belief that he could never be loved.

The series itself wobbles between comedic Slice of Life complete with zany slapstick and dead-serious tales of confusion and interpersonal intrigue, with sadistic and murderous characters inflicting injuries that are played entirely straight. In some cases, this can happen in the same episode.

Breather Episode: Or rather Breather Novels. Volume 4 takes a break from Izaya's machinations for a Hyperlink Story involving motorcycle chases, a supernatural serial killer, a pair of Creepy Twins, and a missing envelope with 1,000,000 yen inside. Volume 7 is more or less a series of vignettes that take place while Izaya's in the hospital for the stab wound he received at the end of the previous book.

Mad Love
 Durarara!! / int_829aeb5d
comment
Seiji is more a psychotic contender for this trope, although he got a bit better after finally getting together with Mika. To recount: He tried to murder Mika in cold blood, showed no guilt or remorse when he thought he had killed her, was willing to use the body of the girl he murdered to mount Celty's head on so he could have a physical relationship with her (which has terribly squicky implications), and used his twisted infatuation as an excuse to treat everyone who isn't "Celty" dismissively or outright attempt to kill them (failing only because everyone else is a badass while he... isn't). In other words, his personality, idea of love, and treatment of other people is very similar to his sister's. Apparently jerkassery runs in the family.

Final Battle
 Durarara!! / int_830b0ac9
comment
Shizuo has another one at the end of Volume 12. Izaya decides to finally end his rivalry with Shizuo and attempts to kill him (from afar), only for Vorona to save him, getting severely injured as a result. As Shizuo attempts to tend to her wounds, Izaya calls him and taunts him about it, from which Shizuo falls uncharacteristically silent as Izaya continues to talk. When his rival finishes, Shizuo simply tells him "Goodbye," in a calm, peaceful tone and hangs up. It should be noted that Shizuo does not use the traditional sayonara, but rather the more cultural version abayo, which means goodbye... forever. The next volume, not once does Shizuo raise his voice, nor does Izaya continue with his usual taunts as they have their Final Battle.

Tons in Episode 11. Mikado owns a Mindows 7 desktop computer that runs wbunte and uses it to visit the websites Yohoo! Japan.came, Amezon.shop, Niru Channel, Yo!Tube, Nixi, and NSM, among others. That computer is a stew of Bland Name Products, let's see... It's supposed to be an NEC computer (possibly a Shout-Out to the PC-98), using a Phoenix Award BIOS and the motherboard itself is Energy Star compliant. The hard drives are a Seagate and a Maxtor (to the extent that they never bothered to change how their model numbers work), and to top it off, it has a Sony DVD drive.

Token Competent Minion: A good chunk of Izaya's minions are either ineffective, batshit insane or waiting for an opportunity to backstab him. Out of all of them only a few are good at their jobs, with Namie performing amazingly well as a secretary despite her distaste for her employer, and Mikage being a brilliant martial artist capable of taking out numerous opponents at once. However, only Kine, arguably the sanest of Izaya's minions, actually remains loyal to him while the rest either betray him or defect.

Wham Episode: Hooh, boy. Episode 11. You know Mikado, right? The sweet, Naïve Newcomer, curious about the world of gangs—the mysterious "Dollars" in particular? Turns out he's actually the leader of said group, and is quite the vocal Badass. Or, alternatively, episode ten, where his Wham Line would lead many a fan suspicious: Episode 16. Goodness, all that news about Saika sure sounds scary, right? I sure hope that...wait...wait, what!? The "real" Saika is actually the slightly dull Shrinking Violet Anri Sonohara!? Wait... why is her mother cutting open her own stomach!? To a lesser extent, the aptly titled Episode 17; "Everything Changes." So, what about those other gangs? Have we forgotten about them? Is the show ever going to bring them up again? Don't worry! It turns out that the Yellow Scarves are led by none other than Masaomi Kida, and it turns out he was a complete Stepford Smiler this entire time. Of course, it's 'to a lesser extent' because we got some foreshadowing on that part. Episode 22 ends with the love triangle finally beginning to confront each other, Mikado dissolving the Dollars, and Shizuo face down in a rainy gutter after being shot three times. Volume 6 (episode 12 of Shou) has a few instances of this. By this point, we've learned Mikado's not all he appears, but he's still a lovable and nice guy. You know, until he stabs Aoba with a freaking pen and a crazed look. Aoba notes that that's probably nowhere near Mikado's true nature... Volume 7 (episode 2 of Ten) would like to inform you that Stalker with a Crush Mika Harima possibly knows more about the goings on in Ikebukuro than the Magnificent Bastard Izaya Orihara himself. Oh, and Namie makes out with her.

Rio Kamichika's online username is "Magenta", but in Japanese the pronunciation sounds somewhat like "Mazenda." Cue the voice actors actually pronouncing exactly the same despite the "Magenta" being shown on-screen several times.

Asshole Victim
 Durarara!! / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: The three ganguros who bully Anri end up getting attacked by the Slasher in Episode 13. Horada is such an arrogant Jerkass that no one ever sympathizes with him. Professor Nasujima gets clocked by Shizuo after coming at him with a knife and demanding his money. Nobody cares. Earthworm. Has tortured many people in the past and her latest victim was Izaya, but since he's Izaya it turns out that he knew what was going to happen all along. He gets Ran Izumi over, who promptly breaks her legs, hits her fingers repeatedly with a plastic hammer, shoves a linen bag soaked with lamp oil into her mouth and lights it on freaking fire. He also threatens to rape her, but luckily Mikage stops him.

Partially justified in that most of the characters seem to consider their problems their own and for one reason or another don't want to (or feel like that can't) rely on anyone for help. Additionally, how do you treat someone for something like having a codependent relationship with sentient sword?

No "Police" Option: Part of the reason Shizuo's never been arrested for his constant, massive property damage and brawls is because his typical victims are people with criminal dealings who can't go to the police without being arrested themselves.

Faux Affably Evil: Izaya is a fairly friendly-seeming guy, but one of the first things we see him do in the anime is construct an elaborate kidnapping and rescue scenario to mess with a suicidal teenage girl, apparently just For the Lulz. He's kind of a massive douchebag. To end the series in A Sunset for Izaya Orihara, he manipulates a man to murder his coworker just to hear him collapse in rage and confusion.

comment
The Revolution Will Not Be Villified / The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Zigzagged. At first, the Dollars a group of idealistic anarchists with "no color or rules" who communicate through the internet and have members throughout every sector of the population, are presented in an overwhelmingly positive light. Despite often not knowing each other in person they gather up and work together to do good and bring down corrupt organizations which appear to have far more power and resources than them. As the series goes on, however, the inherent problems to such an organization begin to be highlighted: for example, with nobody actually being in charge, no one can do anything to stop it if the organization as a whole decides to collectively turn to crime, violence or terrorism. Furthermore: since they can't be handily recognized, people seeking to hurt the organization are forced to turn to simply hurting random people on the street just in case they might be members (mirroring the way in which the police in countries ravaged by terrorism often find themselves forced to perform mass arrests of people who are mostly innocent)

Deadly Closing Credits
 Durarara!! / int_96976adb
comment
Deadly Closing Credits: Volume six ends with Izaya being stabbed by a rival and passing out before he can contact anyone for help. He lives, thanks to someone noticing the bleeding man on the street and calling the paramedics, but relying on formal medical care comes at a cost—his stabbing was reported on the news, which gave out both his name and the hospital he was recuperating at. Now any of his many, many enemies could watch that broadcast and head over to finish him off. He starts going a little stir crazy when this realization dawns on him. It happens to him again in Volume ten. At this point, we have no idea if he is dead, alive, or possessed by Saika. Also, Kadota was rendered unconscious, and the other members are noticeably (and perhaps murderously) upset...

There Are No Therapists: There's no indication that Shizuo's ever even been offered medication to control his fits of rage. And while we're on that subject, about 90 percent of the cast is off their rocker, with accompanying situations that are as hilarious as they are frightening. Partially justified in that most of the characters seem to consider their problems their own and for one reason or another don't want to (or feel like that can't) rely on anyone for help. Additionally, how do you treat someone for something like having a codependent relationship with sentient sword?

Mistaken from Behind: Happens when Anri runs after a person who she thinks is her missing friend Mika, then calls out to her and takes her by the shoulder; when the person turns around and looks nothing like Mika, she apologizes and runs off in embarrassment. Subverted when we find out later that Anri wasn't mistaken, but Mika simply had plastic surgery to look like Celty's head.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma: Simon is occasionally guilty of this, due to his breathtakingly poor Japanese. At one point when Kadota's gang are eating at Russia Sushi he addresses Kadota as "Kadota-shachō" — and Kadota is rather confused. The intention might have been to call him "boss" in an affectionate sense, but said idiom doesn't really work since shachō (社長) specifically means boss/president/manager of a company.

Foreshadowing: Celty's narration in Episode 2 on Mikado and Masaomi. Pay close attention to the Slasher attack against Celty and the Yellow Scarves in episode 5. On first viewing, it's made out as if both incidents were done by the same person, but once you've seen further into the Saika arc, a keen viewer will note that the Slasher that attacked Celty is clearly Anri, but the one that attacks the Yellow Scarves thugs is Haruna.

Made of Iron: Izaya gets hit with a fricking trash can and stands up moments later no worse for the wear. How about the Quirky Miniboss Squad that Celty apparently kills in the first episode? I mean, one dude had his head smashed against the wall with a fricking motorcycle. Shizuo, eventually, after lots of painful injuries and healing. Takes getting hit by a speeding truck better than you'd normally expect, and doesn't even feel anything from being stabbed in the legs with pens. Not to mention he manages to get up on his own and walk all the way to Shinra's house unaided after being shot. Twice.

Mood Whiplash: Walker and Erika as Torture Technicians. Starts out kinda goofy. Two minutes later, you realized you've stopped taking deep breaths because your brain's trying to process what just ALMOST happened. Yeah, Those Two Guys. Thankfully cut a bit in the anime... but cranked up to eleven in the manga. The series itself wobbles between comedic Slice of Life complete with zany slapstick and dead-serious tales of confusion and interpersonal intrigue, with sadistic and murderous characters inflicting injuries that are played entirely straight. In some cases, this can happen in the same episode.

Karma Houdini: If one only watches the first season of the anime, it could be forgiven to wonder if Izaya's coat is made of Uchiha-grade Reinforced Comeuppance-proof Plotanium; his character in its entirety is basically screwing with anyone and everyone For the Evulz from start to finish, and his total karmic backlash in the entire series is a black eye and stern talking-to from Simon at the end—nothing to indicate he won't continue ruining the main characters' and everyone else's lives for his own amusement. However, the novels and Durarara x2 show that things have been catching up to him lately. He has been stabbed (Volume 6 or episode 12 of Ketsu), put in a public hospital where any of his many, MANY enemies could easily find him (Volume 7 or episode 1 of Ten), kidnapped by a psychopathic Torture Technician (Volume 9 or episode 8 of Ten), and attacked by a possessed Sloan and Saika (Volume 10 or episode 12 of Ten). Although Volume 11 confirms he's still alive, his plans are starting to unravel thanks to his hospital stay. The Anime ends with him leaving town and pledging never to come back. Haruna and Izumi also qualify.

Obfuscating Stupidity: Mikado is the leader of the Dollars. Kida was the leader of the Yellow Scarves. Anri is the Slasher, host of the demon sword Saika and mentally controls anyone cut with it. Erika and Walker are this, to an extent. They're otakus no matter what, but their interrogation skills are a little over-the-top. Not to mention they, along with Kyohei and Saburo, are Dollars.

Redemption Failure: Throughout the first half, we see reference to the original leader of the Yellow Scarves abandoning the gang after a turf war went bad. Then, in Part 2, Masaomi Kida is revealed as that same original leader when he retakes control of the group to defend themselves from the Dollars and the Slasher. While he was never evil, per se, he treats it like an example of this.

Posthumous Villain Victory: Invoked and subverted. Izaya's trap to murder Shizuo fails due to Celty's interference, forcing him to flee while Shizuo comes after him with the intent to kill. Izaya runs into a large group of people and begins to fight Shizuo, despite having no chance of winning. Aoba realizes Izaya is attempting a Xanatos Gambit- if he wins, he's killed his mortal enemy; but if he dies, society will validate his belief that Shizuo is a monster and hate him. However, Vorona shows up to deal the fatal blow herself to protect Shizuo, ruining the plot. Izaya barely gets away and ultimately decides to never return, should he survive his wounds.

With regards to Anri, it's an odd case; most Evil Empathic Weapons feed off of their host's emotions, but this particular host claims that she feeds off of the emotions of the blade, unable to experience love otherwise. They have a weird kind of codependent relationship.

Film Noir: Almost constant taciturn atmosphere, private-eye monologues, tons of mysteries and intricated plots, darkly atmospheric music with elements of jazz, dark commentary on social modern issues, moral ambiguity, gangsters, street gangs, city lights, black comedy, lots of smoking (well, mainly Shizuo and others characters)… “Durarara!!” may not be a noir at its whole, but it has a lots of elements of the genre, and many people considers it as a one of the very few examples of anime with noir elements.

Faux Fluency: If the English accent instead of the Russian one didn't tip you off, when you hear Simon trying to talk to some Russian tourists in Russian it becomes very clear that his voice actor has no experience with Russian at all. Neither do those of the tourists in question, and Simon's later conversation with Izaya is no less painful on either end.

Glowing Eyes of Doom/Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Slashers/Saika's children. And it's not just some thing for the viewer's convenience; Kadota actually points out the red eyes. An odd case occurs with Anri, in which her eyes turn red after she reveals she is Saika. However, she isn't physically violent at all, and while she talks very threateningly, she seems very calm, composed, and in control. In fact, she's not even quite evil...

Sparing Them the Dirty Work: Near the end of the first novel series, Vorona witnesses Shizuo face down his mortal enemy, Izaya, and interrupts the fight by stabbing Izaya with a knife, then attempting to finish him with a gun before Shizuo can deliver his final blow. When Shizuo tries to stop her, telling her not to become a murderer, Vorona shrugs off his concern since she's a trained assassin who has killed many people before. She is, however, foiled by Simon, who threw a stun grenade at their midst, incapacitating her and allowing Izaya to escape the encounter.

Ayakabashi's backstory involves this: When Anri's mother was posessed by Saika, she stabbed him in the eye. To resist infection from The Virus, he immediately ripped it out of its socket.

Sempai/Kōhai: This happens when Vorona starts hanging around with Shizuo and Tom, though a bit one-sided. Shizuo (who doesn't recognize her as the person who stabbed him earlier because she was wearing a helmet) decides, quite happily, that she gets to be his Kouhai. Vorona agrees, while plotting to destroy him. This was also Shizuo and Tom's relationship back in middle school, which is why these two are best friends.

Mind Screw: Episode 9. The one where the plot really kicks into gear! Narita just seems to enjoy this in general. Throughout the anime, manga, AND novels, he repeatedly mindscrews his audience, ranging from Izaya epic trolling Earthworm (all of volume nine had the readers switching between "He's under the bag" and "He put someone else there," finishing up with a giant WTF) to Harima Mika of all people having the best information network EVER just to protect her precious Seiji.

There are a number of times in the chatroom where Mairu (Mai) is about to say something before Kururi (Kyo) interrupts with the statement that whatever Mairu was typing was incredibly filthy and Not Safe for Work and assures everyone that she's already smacked her and forced her to delete it before anything was posted. Sometimes, Mai's posts are also automatically censored for containing words flagged as inappropriate—thus we of course never find out what the words in question were.

The disservice is taken up to eleven when you consider the fact that he's still wearing that freaking gas mask!

Bait-and-Switch Credits: The anime's second opening implies that Kasuka and Kinnosuke get a lot more screentime than the ever do. They do end up getting due focus in the later novels, but those weren't animated... Seemingly averted in X2 since it covers the chapters where they do get their focus, especially Kasuka.

Firearms Are Cowardly
 Durarara!! / int_cb2e71d7
comment
Firearms Are Cowardly: Guns are not viewed highly in this series and often used and associated with the most dishonorable, cowardly, and downright rotten of characters. Examples include the following: Horada getting ahold of the Awakusu's missing gun and shoots Shizuo with it while obviously scared shitless. He then falsely claims Masaomi ordered the hit and flees, hoping Shizuo will come after the boy for him. Downplayed. Izaya using the Awakusu's gun to taunt Anri over her belief that she is a parasite incapable of love, threatening to shoot random people just to upset her. He also makes several underhanded jabs at her relationships before running off without ever actually attacking. Mikado getting a gun and shoots up a police station and a yakuza boss' home as part of his plot to dissolve the Dollars. Despite being heavily injured with a broken leg, Masaomi easily beats the crap out of his friend to get the gun away, only for Mikado to pull out a second gun.

Shinra might be a walking Lampshade for this, as his white labcoat sticks out a lot and is occasionally mocked accordingly. But that is justified in Shinra's mind. Shinra wears his lab coat, even while not working and has multiple white lab including a spare in a corner for after he rolls around on the floor . When Shizuo asked him about this, Shinra explained he dresses this way by choice because he likes the color contrast between him and Celty as it is very lovey-dovey in his mind.

Mortality Phobia
 Durarara!! / int_d366883d
comment
Mortality Phobia: Izaya's primary goal is to avoid the Cessation of Existence he believes will occur beyond death, and has driven him to form an extremely convoluted plan in attempt to prevent it: hypothesizing that Dullahan are actually Valkyries left dormant on Earth, he decides to start a massive gang war in the hopes of creating a conflict large enough to wake up resident Dullahan Celty and hitch a ride with her to whatever afterlife she returns to. He flatly states that he doesn't care whether or not it's a hellish place filled with nothing but pain, just as long as it's not nothing. Ironically, since Durarara!! and Baccano! share a 'verse, there is a much simpler and more reliable (also arguably less insane) means for attaining Immortality that he just doesn't know about; which makes the brief appearance of Isaac and Miria, who are members of the Dollars no less, much more hilarious.

Precocious Crush: Shinra says that he's been attracted to Celty since the day that he met her. That would be when he was four. Additionally, Shizuo had his own Precocious Crush on a shopkeeper when he was around ten or so. Then he walked by her store one day, only to see a group of thugs assaulting her. She was seriously injured in his resulting psychotic episode, and Shizuo was too ashamed to see her ever again.

Personal Hate Before Common Goals: It's noted that Izaya and Aoba both have similar personalities, being devious, lying, G.I.R.L., manipulative bastards who use the gangs of Ikebukuro to further their own plots, and Aoba is even able to decipher Izaya's Xanatos Gambit against Shizuo without much context because it's what he would do. However, Aoba admits it would be impossible for them to get along or work together simply because people like them hate their own kind.

Earthworm. Has tortured many people in the past and her latest victim was Izaya, but since he's Izaya it turns out that he knew what was going to happen all along. He gets Ran Izumi over, who promptly breaks her legs, hits her fingers repeatedly with a plastic hammer, shoves a linen bag soaked with lamp oil into her mouth and lights it on freaking fire. He also threatens to rape her, but luckily Mikage stops him.

I'm Standing Right Here: Walker and Erika have their "Is Celty a Tsundere?" argument in her own apartment. When Celty learns Shinra gave them the idea (and...embellished certain aspects of their relationship), she decides she might as well live up the the archetype—with extra tsuntsun. Strangling is involved. Erika once goes on about an elaborate Kadota and Walker butler fantasy in front of the two guys in question. The result is special.

Writers Cannot Do Math: Anri's parents died when her father became addicted to Heaven's Slave and her mother killed him when he tried to murder Anri in a fit of insanity. Heaven's Slave was originally founded by Izaya and Nakura in college as an Experimental Legal Drug club, which Shijima took over and turned into Heaven's Slave after graduation. However, Anri was about eleven when her parents died, and Izaya is about eight years older than her, which would have made him nineteen at the time, which makes the timeline incredibly odd.

Lightning Bruiser: In addition to being hands-down the strongest and most durable character in Durarara!!, Shizuo can apparently travel in short bursts of speed and jump further than Carl Lewis. (as evident in this incredibly character-establishing fight scene.) The only character shown to outrun him is Izaya Orihara.

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
 Durarara!! / int_dba1f5b5
comment
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Erika and Walker, being the two resident otaku, do this on occasion. However, the better in-universe example is the theme of Episode 16: "Who is the strongest person in Ikebukuro?" Most people answer "The Headless Rider/ Celty", Simon, Izaya or Shizuo. But mostly Shizuo. Izaya has a few others on his list: Mikado—the leader of the Dollars, Kida—former general of the Yellow Scarves, and Anri—the possessor of the original Saika.]] Shuji directly asks Celty the "who would win in a fight?" question, which causes her to burst out laughing. It's Shizuo against an unkillable fae with the ability to give make solid blades out pure darkness— Of course Shizuo would win.

Deliberately Non-Lethal Attack
 Durarara!! / int_dc26df5a
comment
Deliberately Non-Lethal Attack: While it is perfectly capable of killing and has done so before, Saika tends to non-fatally slash people to make more of its Children, though its victims usually require a trip to the hospital as a knife wound is still very serious. Near the end, Mikado shows Masaomi his gun, causing his friend to panic at the thought that Mikado has actually used the weapon and has gone completely insane. Masaomi attacks him to knock away the gun, only for Mikado to fire a second weapon into Masaomi's leg to disable him. However, horrified that he could willingly shoot his friend, Mikado prepares to take his own life. Kujiragi has a special electrified glove she utilizes to knock people out without killing them. To deal with Haruna, she morphs Saika into wires and uses it as a conductor to immobilize the girl and prevent her from attacking. Shizuo really does try to limit the extent of the damage his rampages cause, but his super strength and massive temper don't help much. Thus, on the occasions he has the presence of mind to control himself, he usually makes an active attempt to not do anything too nasty. While saving Mikado from a thug, Izaya takes out his switchblade and uses it to shave the guy's head, humiliating the thug and forcing him to run off. Anri takes Haruna's blows as a way of apologizing in advance before she uses the original Saika to make a small cut on her neck, which doesn't kill her, but allows Anri to control her and the Saika zombies. She also attempts the same on Izaya, but fails. Kururi and Mairu typically resort to attacks that won't kill, but will hurt like all hell, with Mairu using incredibly questionable techniques that include thumbtacks and Kururi using pepper spray. Mairu also offers to teach it to Akane.

Never Filled Out Official Paperwork: In the chibi manga anthology, Minidura, Shinra and Celty are appalled when establishments all over Ikebukuro start selling Black Rider merchandise without Celty's consent. They soon realize Izaya is the culprit, but when they confront him, he explains they never filed any paperwork to copyright the Black Rider image so he decided to do it himself, and due to Celty's questionable legal status, she is unable to sue him.

Gas Mask, Longcoat: Shingen wears a doctor's smock and a gas mask at all times whenever he visits Tokyo, due to his fears of Tokyo's air quality. He even wears his gas mask while showering, as Shinra discovers to his horror (he was trying to peep on Celty). His second wife and Shinra's step-mother, also a doctor, wears a smock and a gas mask as well when she visits, though in a form of Goggles Do Nothing she wears it as more of a hat than for its intended purpose.

Continuity Cameo: In episode 8, among the requests the blonde tourist has gathered, there's a doodle of two girls searching for Hanejima Yuuhei - the Orihara twins from the novels. They actually show up in the last episode/second OVA and don't have much plot importance. There are occasional mentions of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals being at risk of being bought out by an American company called Nebula — The same Nebula that constructed the Flying Pussyfoot in the 1930s. The Dollars website password? Baccano!. "Hey, Isaac..." "What is it, Miria?" There are also an instance of a clip from Baccano (specifically the fight between Ladd and the Rail Tracer atop a train) playing on a big-screen TV on the side of a building, and again, in the background of one shot was a poster of the Rail Tracer. Both of these instances cause a slight contradiction to the theory that both series are in the same continuity, since Baccano appears to be a TV show or movie in the Durarara era. However, given the existence of Isaac and Miria and Nebula, it could just be a non-fictional movie. But who really knows? Ennis from Baccano! again shows up on a big screen in the background during the second OVA/episode 25. In volume 5, Shizuo briefly mentions that he once got into a fight with a very-difficult-to-injure foreigner. Bonus Material suggests that the man in question is Nile In volume 8, Saki mentions meeting an American kid that has suspicious resemblance to Kasuka Heiwajima/Yuuhei Hanejima. The kid in question is Charon Walken, Chane Laforet and Claire Stanfield's great-grandson.

Brains Versus Brawn: Izaya is an intelligent and well-read information broker who has a mutual hatred with Shizuo, a debt collector with inhuman strength who can shake off being hit by a car. In the final arc, the two have an all-out death battle, pitting Izaya's brain against Shizuo's brawn, as the former uses traps and schemes to kill, and the latter simply comes after Izaya with nothing but his fists. The fight culminates in Izaya attempting and failing a Xanatos/Thanatos gambit and neither die.

G.I.R.L.: Further muddling the issue is the fact that the anime randomly shuffles voice actors for the chatroom segments until who is who is revealed in the plot. To make matters simpler, here's everyone's screen names: "Setton" is Celty, "Taro Tanaka" is Mikado, "Bakyura" is Masaomi, "Saika" is at first Saika-infected individuals then changes to Anri, and the main perpetrator of being a G.I.R.L., "Kanra," is Izaya. Discussed in Volume 9 of the novels: Bakyura and a new member of the chat-room theorize that some of their companions might be this. And that new member passes for a girl, but seems to be Aoba.

Flanderization: The anime plays up Mikado being a nice normal kid more than the original novel. It also plays up Kida's guilt concerning Saki's injury, as while he did feel guilty, it wasn't to the extent the anime made it out to be. And to a lesser extent, Izaya's asshattery was toned down and his trolling was amped up. He was also a little more feminine.

Jerkass: Izaya, and Horada. Both for very, very obvious reasons. To a lesser extent, Namie is a female version. Her treatment of everyone who isn't her brother is... disturbing, to say the least. She's not quite as psychotic as her brother, though. Seiji is more a psychotic contender for this trope, although he got a bit better after finally getting together with Mika. To recount: He tried to murder Mika in cold blood, showed no guilt or remorse when he thought he had killed her, was willing to use the body of the girl he murdered to mount Celty's head on so he could have a physical relationship with her (which has terribly squicky implications), and used his twisted infatuation as an excuse to treat everyone who isn't "Celty" dismissively or outright attempt to kill them (failing only because everyone else is a badass while he... isn't). In other words, his personality, idea of love, and treatment of other people is very similar to his sister's. Apparently jerkassery runs in the family.

Aerosol Flamethrower: Walker makes use of one at the climax of Volume 6.

Walker has it again when he's fighting Izumii, revealing that fire is his preferred weapon of choice.

Episode 11. You know Mikado, right? The sweet, Naïve Newcomer, curious about the world of gangs—the mysterious "Dollars" in particular? Turns out he's actually the leader of said group, and is quite the vocal Badass. Or, alternatively, episode ten, where his Wham Line would lead many a fan suspicious:

Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo: Deliberately invoked by Mairu and Kururi Orihara. They literally flipped a coin to decide which one would be which. In this case, Mairu the Genki Girl and an absolute chatterbox, while Kururi is laconic and typically inexpressive. They behave the opposite on the chatroom, though.

So when all's said and done... you got no tricks up your sleeves except for manipulating others. What a lowlife and coward you are. It makes me laugh. Haha."

Earn Your Happy Ending

Earn Your Happy Ending: Big time for everyone in the finale: First of all, resident Karma Houdini Troll Izaya is finally out of Ikebukuro. He attempts to end his rivalry with Shizuo by killing him but when it fails and receives a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown for his troubles, he goads Shizuo into killing him to finally prove that he is a monster. Luckily, Vorona prevents this, and a wounded Izaya leaves the city, preferring that he die without giving his enemy the satisfaction of seeing him pass on. Celty has regained her head, but decides to leave because of the chaos that came to be because of her presence in the city. Shinra manages to get her to stay and give her head up with his newfound possession of Saika. Celty agrees to let her head get sent to Chicago and live the rest of her days with Shinra. Seiji and Mika decide to follow Celty's head to Chicago. Seiji admits that he still does not love Mika romantically, but has come to love her like family. Mika is aware of how Seiji's presence will hinder her own plans of destroying the head, but accepts it if it means being with him. Vorona returns to Russia, but promises Shizuo that she will come back to Ikebukuro one day. Kodota identifies Nasujima as the person responsible for his hit-and-run-induced coma, and runs him over in a bit of Laser-Guided Karma. He wakes up to find himself the captive of Haruna. Aoba is threatened by Akabayashi to stay away from plotting anything related with the Dollars and the Blue Squares, lest he deal with the Yakuza. Lastly, Mikado recovers from the traumatic events of the previous night, and reunites with Masaomi and Anri. With their secrets shared with each other and the business with the Dollars done with, they can finally live a normal life together, something which Mikado has come to accept.

Love Makes You Crazy: Pretty much every character and the reason most of the things happen. This is like "Love Makes You Crazy: The Animation". The most sane and healthy love in the entire series is between the genius borderline-Mad Scientist and the headless amnesiac Faerie, if only by the virtue that it seems like genuine love and affection rather than twisted narcissistic obsession. That said, sanest does not equal sane (especially in this series!).

Conspicuous in the Crowd: Invoked by Mikado. He attempts to force Namie into turning herself in for trafficking people to be used as test subjects and her hand in Mika Harima's murder. Unsurprisingly, Namie laughs at him and refuses, only for Mikado to reveal the crowd around them is made up of Dollars members by sending out a mass text which causes everyone's phones to start ringing, making Namie and her henchmen stand out as outsiders amongst them and forcing the woman to flee.

I Was Just Passing Through: Played with in Episode 22 when all of the Dollars are doing this to help Anri escape from the Yellow Scarves. It's then subverted when Shizuo really was passing through and stops to rant about how there were too many messages on his phone going off, just in time to catch a glimpse of Horada leering at Anri. You get no points for guessing what happens next.

Comically Missing the Point: Walker, upon discovering that Kaztano did not, in fact, break a plate: "That email wasn't about breaking a plate... It was about breaking a bowl!" This is based around some Japanese wordplay: the character in question, a foreigner whose Japanese is relatively terrible, was abducted, and sent an e-mail off to a friend in desperation: however, he said "sara wareta" ("I broke a plate") instead of "sarawareta" ("I was kidnapped"). Upon discovering his trashed and empty room, everyone realizes the mixup... except Walker, who dramatically holds up a chipped bowl.

Lodged Blade Removal: Discussed. In the finale, Izaya is stabbed with a ballistic knife by Vorona, which stays lodged in his abdomen. He later wakes up on the way to a doctor outside Ikebukuro and notices the knife still in him with Celty's shadows around it, stopping the bleeding. Kine advises Izaya not to remove it as if he did, he would bleed out in the car and die.

Beware the Nice Ones: The more friendly someone is in this series, the more likely it is that they're a complete and utter freak. Good god, Mikado can switch on the niceness off and on at will intentionally to dominate other people's wills. The truly scary thing, that makes his flashes of coldness all the more scary, is when he's nice... he means it.

Usually, arms dealers bring them to Japan from Russia, China, North Korea or parts of Eastern Europe. The first episode of x2 Shou shows a witness on television with her voice distorted. Japanese privacy laws require all television stations to do this.
