Considering he got up so quickly I really wouldn't discard it. Insanely fast with that knife and can take a beating. Add in his ability to mess people up with his words he's a dangerous guy. Definitely solid advice to avoid him at all costs.

Izaya looked the least monster-ish among all the strongest cast right now if you ask me. Knife's badass, but Shizuo, Simon, Celty all seem to be physically stronger. If anything, he seem to want to avoid Shizuo if possible, and dare I say he even faltered a bit upon seeing him (instead of looking smug like I-can-eat-you-whole-if-I-want-to, he had a semi-weak smile instead). Izaya definitely seem to be the most brainy with few combat skills, but i wouldn't consider him supernatural just yet, especially I can't consider Simon anything but just normal. On a totally different point, anyone disappointed that Shizuo's somewhat acquainted with Celty? Was hoping they hate each other or something so we see some epic fight. As invincible Celty might look, physical combat seem to work somewhat still against it. |

Shizuo and Simon may be stronger but if Izaya gets serious, they won't be able stop the damage. You only need to cut the hamstring tendons ala Ong Bak and they're history. Celty's a supernatural being so physical force most likely won't damage her imo.

The rumor mill only remembered Shizuo and not Izaya.

Re-watched the opening and I was amused to see a KFC sign in the background (at least that's what I thought it was) and the ganguro girls also appeared when Simon is passing out the sushi flyers. Since we have everyone converging on the shop in the opening I'm starting to wonder if it's not a shop at all but the center for all things underground in Ikebukuro....

Well yeah, consider Izaya didn't stay for the fight at all, of course he didn't get mentioned. The first guy who got his hair shaved isn't going to go around and tell people he got owned, and the other thugs probably didn't care about Izaya after getting owned that badly. In addition, the thugs probably thought Izaya and Shizuo were on the same team, if they knew they were enemies they probably would've just let Shizuo kick Izaya's ass. |

Izaya is damn insane and clever. And Shizuo also got great strength and power. If they battle each other who would win? btw, about Simon-san, what's there connection, between him and Shizu?? |

He's just counting. You know how typically people draw 4 vertical lines and then another line cutting through all 4 when they've counted 5 or something? For Japanese and Chinese they write out a 正 (so he's counted 4 so far in that scene) instead.
