Welcome to another Durarara!! review!
Today’s episode focused more on Shizou’s back ground and history with Izaya and Shinra with a bit of Celty thrown in, we start with a Shizuo outside listening to two customers argue over something which aggravates Shizou to attack one of them sending him flying with a street sigh this seems to be Shizou’s signature weapon besides throwing objects and breaking things in half and stomping them. We follow Shizou through the town after a brawl in the street he begins to talk about how he hates violence and he wasn’t always this aggressive to people, when he was a kid he got angry at his brother Kasuka. Picking up a refrigerator in a attempt to crush his little brother but failed ending up in the hospital with some broken bones, seems when he was younger his anger always got the best of him but each time he picked up something and fought his bones broke as time went by he began to grow stronger.
Shizou also went to school with Shinra together ever since they where kids Shinra eventually introduces him to Celty at the time Shinzou felt something weird from her but couldn’t tell, he also meets Izaya his ultimate rival from the first time they talked he could tell he hated him just seeing him ignites Shizou’s rage. As they got older Shinra became a doctor, Izaya got involved with the Yakuza and Shinzou had a hard time finding a job getting fired due to his anger issues finally landing a job as a bartender his younger brother visits with boxes of clothes wanting him to stay a bartender forever if possible, his little brother now known as Yuhie is a famous movie star, But Shinzou became a debt collector and body guard to a good friend from school Tom. We return to the current time where Celty is listening to Shizou talk about his current life how hes irritated about something Celty is actually worried for him after hearing something happened shows she has a kind heart not that shes in love with him but proves she can be a great listener and friend, the episode closes with Izaya appearing on a bridge Shizou screams and chases but Izaya slips away (how he does that is beyond me..maybe hes like batman lol).
Screencaps!
Final thoughts on this episode, fun and crazy! I really enjoyed seeing Shizou’s back ground by far he is the most entertaining to watch and his interactions with Izaya makes it even more fun to see, also like how he is around Celty seems they have a cool relationship wouldn’t mind seeing them work together and appears next time they get to. When i first saw his little brother i thought it was Izaya but I am glad its not would have been a bit boring, funny to see how different each of them are with one being calm quiet and the other the compete opposite angry and aggressive. Not much to poke fun at this time but it works, next week looks to be a fun and interesting episode following Celty around currently i really like Shizou hes by far my most favorite besides Celty and Izaya see you later!…



















This is the best episode yet…the music, the story, and all the flipping out just made it really engrossing. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a Simon episode, I love that guy for some reason >.>
Yeah i agree ray=out very good episode! i like Shizou hes very cool, hmmm Simon yeah I wouldn’t mind seeing his story lol.
I’m not too interested in Shizuo or Simon, and I kept hoping someone would fly out and punch Shizuo in the face for littering so much!
I kinda wondered what stunts Kasuka had to do. All we got to see was a flash of light, like in all cheaply animated fights, so it couldn’t have been that hard.
@ Kabitzin yeah true thankfully theres so many characters for people to have interest in I need to see Celty do more with her powers and fights i like her as well. Yeah good question lol i wonder too, his movie with the ninjas looked interesting haha i imagine the dvd extras might have that if not it should!
DUDE, where are you getting all these HD caps…? like seriously? lol. Anyways, I really liked this episode. Nice, gritty, funny, and the abhorrence was palpable from Izzy. I loved it.
