Wow. A lot happened this episode!

Izaya is still up to his usual mind games while we get more flashbacks and his feud with Shizuo. Varona and Mikage also confronts each other although I wish they pushed the fight in a better direction. Celty also got her head back! I find it weird seeing it but it's still quite a special sight.

Everyone is getting into some sort of fight now and I feel like it's part of fate that their lives are intersecting in this big story. Can't wait for the next one. This might be one of my favorite episodes so far for DRRR!

[Nozomu Itoshiki]

Wonderful episode, finally we can see Celty with her head again but she lost all her memories ... for now.

Now another final confrontation is going on against Mikado, one thing I always hated about him is how incoherent and edgy is this character, and is not made in a good way because is really annoying. Izaya is more suitable for a main character.

"Forget you have seen me... human".

That's royal!

PS The question I can't help asking: is she going to carry the head with her from now on, as opposed to... hmmm... wearing it?

Celty's head look like she finish smoking weed after being reunited with her body.

[Iron Maw]

Whelp. Looks like Shinra's hypothesis was right.

Can't imagine everyone taking this very well.

[Wandering Soul]

So Celty got her head back, unfortunately she lost her memories as a result. It's going to tear Shinra apart when he finds out that his fear became a reality.

Saika's children out of control.. or under misguided influence.
Chat went out of control too.
Celty got her head back..
Shame they didn't show more of her.
Guess they're saving it for next time.
Good episode.

[Pen3]

So is Kasane neutral because she is sometimes playing the bad guy and good guy. What exactly is her true motive in all of this?

But Shingen said that his son can make new memories of her once the chaos has been died down.

Meanwhile, is it me or that guy who put Dotachin into a temporary coma is planning to turn Ikebukuro into a Saika-pocalypse?

[rladls2121]

Mikage says that Shizuo vs Izaya fight is meaningless bloodshed, I don't know what to say.
Of course Izaya has to be stopped and he doesn't get caught by the police that easily for his misdeeds.

But having Shizuo to stop him is rather still sad to me, and cannot ignore the statements like how these two fights are meaningless.

What other better ways are there to stop a person like Izaya?

[Rikka is my waifu]

Isn't Shinra still under kasane's control? , even when everything cools down its still going to be trouble for celty and shinra.

[Marcus H.]

There's only two possibilities for Shinra. One is Shinra becoming part of Kasane's brood. The other is Shinra overcoming Kasane's influence and becoming his own brood.

[Kurohane]

The latter is most probably, but then he'll become another Takashi in a sense. He won't create a Saika apocalypse, but would control everyone to makes sure no one interrupts his love life with Celty.
