Those Saika's minions sure have multiplied..
Things are slowly sinking into chaos.
Everyone's gathering at the center of it.
Pretty much everyone got infected.
Well.. it's certainly getting more interesting.

[Nozomu Itoshiki]

Well this episode was more like a transition between the start of the action in the previous one and the final confrontations coming in the next 2 episodes.

It was fun but it feels nostalgic for some reason, also is time so see Shinra being the manliest character in the series.

This is almost kinda scary seeing all those minions just walking around now.

Good episode, I really liked Shizuo and Izaya's confrontation. Nice background storytelling focused on Shizuo as well. I wish they gave Varona more screen time with her fighting but oh well. Still a pretty thrilling episode with the developments.

I like Shinra's analysis about Izaya.
Those Saikas are sure increasing in numbers by a lot.

[Kopi]

I didn't understand how Shizuo was able to get through the fire safely. Did Celty make that hole under Shizuo and covered him with the black substance which then controlled the outburst of the explosion?

And Izaya has some sheer luck. Getting flung away from a hit off a construction steel directly will surely spell doom for anyone but he somehow managed to land into a nearby building

[fuff]

another good ep. so pretty much shinra was saying that izaya expects the worst of ppl so he can never get hurt thats why he loves humans because of their predicatablity?! i dunno if i was able to get what he meant lol

Basically, he thinks he's a victim, and abusing a power someone else gave him to get back at the people who's wronged him. He's in way over his head though.
