Durarara 11 - Sturm and Drang



Seiji's obsession toward "Maki" remained as ridiculous as ever, while Namie still moaning in her office that they can't find Mika. Unexpectedly, she got a phone call from Mikado who then proposed a deal with him. Both arrange a meeting somewhere in the city, Namie with all her guards while Mikado seems, well, alone. Apparently the deal between the two is that in exchange for the person Namie was looking for, Mikado want Namie to turn herself in for what she had done to Mika's body. Namie of course simply did not heed to such deal and despite all the argument that Mikado throw, she turned a deaf ear, giving some nonsense replies because all she care is her brother Seiji. She's simply insusceptible to reason, as Mikado said. Then as she called her guards, Mikado started his plan by triggering something from his phone. As a result, heaps of people around that place received an email on their phone, the Dollars member Dotachin and co included. It turned out that all those people were there for a reason - they were all part of Dollars who attend the first ever gathering of Dollars, organised by who else but Mikado. it was then revealed how Mikado started doing his things since before he move to Tokyo, developing a website for Dollars, spread rumors on the net and even directing their activities.



Celty meanwhile was on the rooftop when Dotachin came to her with Mika whom he and his Dollars friends met while speeding the van in previous episode. After a few Words with Mika, Celty's behaviour changed stating that she had come to her sense and started charging down the rooftop, to Namie's guards in the middle of the gathered people. She easily beat all of them, and declare her intention of making people in the city acknowledge her presence. This cause a bit of chaos in the area, and with no other option, Namie was forced to flee. It was in that moment when Seiji found Mikado and tried to attack him...



notes: It was a rather fun episode, seeing how Namie almost wet her pant after being surprised and intimidated by such sheer number of people, all staring at her. Mikado certainly impressed me. He's really had some unexpected side. Who would have thought that he is the founder? His determination to expose Namie and the strategy he set was amazing, setting a website for Dollars since the day he got a computer and keep in touch with his friend Kida at Tokyo, acting as a leader to suggest what Dollars should do (and surprisingly people even heed to his words), and now, the first ever large gathering of Dollars and at the same time, setting up a meeting with Namie in the midst of that. "The people who aren't looking at the text on their phones right now are our enemies. Don't attack them, simply stare at them." Simply brilliant.
Then to Celty - hm...for some reason the meeting with Mika at the top of the roof completely change her (and perhaps partly responsible is Shinra's word of wanting to marry her!). She wanted people in the city to know her with keen interest, well at least she got her wish when her helmet was blown away by Namie's men. And now a Headless Rider is no more an urban legend. Is it just me though, I think this is the first time Celty's word actually materialize into voice? Can't wait to see what's going to be for Mikado and Seiji.
Lastly LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AIZAKKU & MIRIA cameo! It made me laugh seeing the pair again, it really is :D
p/s: yes, watch Baccano people.
