Durarara 12 - Being and Non-Being mutually exist

Mikado escapes from getting injured after Celty shielded him from Seiji's attack. Seeing Seiji still determined to get Mika back by any means, Celty retaliates by swinging her helmet, and eventually summoned her scythe. Just as she was about to swing it, a scream from Mika stopped her... however Celty had different impression toward the "head" in Mika's body, while Mikado recognize straight away that it was Harima Mika. It was then revealed that Mika wasn't killed in the first place and her head was never replaced with Celty's, it's all merely fabrication by Namie with the help of Shinra. Realizing Shinra's involvement, Celty left the place in a hurry, leaving Seiji in huge shock...

Shinra however has already expected what Celty would want to talk with him, yet he calmly gave the answer Celty seek. He expressed his concern and fears over losing Celty, a person he loved so dearly should she found her head, while Celty herself reveals her own fears and nightmare of her disability to govern her own death. Meanwhile, things at the gathering site has started to calm and most people has already left the scene. After talking about the not-so ordinary life that Mikado tried to seek, Izaya himself dismissed himself, but not before he mentioned Mikado's online nick, Tanaka Taro. Later he had a talk with Namie, and apparently both Namie and Izaya were the mastermind in all Mika's action in previous episode. With the episode coming to the end, they close their chat with Celty's head...

notes: A little late this week, LA kept me busy over the weekend D : now, where to start with this episode. Probably with Mika first. Just wow, to find that the real Mika is alive all these day and that it was all a mere cosmetic surgery just to hadn't died all along, and it all was a mere cosmetic just to make her head looked like Celty's. I would probably say that it is near impossible even for a genius monster to replace a person's head with another, but given that the head is from dullahan, anything is possible. No wonder Celty can't recognize her head while Mikado easily noticed that she was Mika. But really, sucks to be Seiji, I just love Izaya's sarcastic remark about Seiji's love to Celty's head after finding out that the "Celty" that he has loved so far is all but fake. Well at least it's good to see him started to accept Mika's love (plus Mika herself was crazily attached to him).

With all things he did in previous episode, Mikado really deserved that kind of recognition from Izaya. That's one huge achievement considering he's only a few month in Tokyo (although his effort as Dollar's founder track a long way back). Talk about Dollars, Durarara was quite a well thought name. Dullahan, Dollars, Daradara (lazy around). I guess it won't be long before the Setton, Kanra(who should have known who Setton is too) and Tarou, started to know each other's identity IRL.
p/s1: Shinra you lucky bastard щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

"You look cutest without your helmet on". Well, for some reason I disagree with that, although what made me more attracted to Celty is her voice :3

btw, Erika and Walker really are the Durarara version of Aizakku and Miria in Baccano :3
if only they have more screentime lol
