Ohmygod.... this episode shows that even modern (or earlier/previous rather, since it's set like 6 years ago) technology can be so incredible.... and even ordinary people could be badass.... oh Mikado got me so thrilled~[ SHE'S ANGRY (SELTY) ]I'm so relieved that it didn't take too many freakin' episodes just in search of the annoying girl. She was found quite quick... and I'm happy that it's our Dollars peeps so Mikado was able to track her. He gives Selty what she wants and she did for him what he asked for: just be badass xD LOLzAll she asked is the name... which is the same as hers. I guess she couldn't cut off that head, but wants her existence known... and she didn't give a damn when the public saw her headless self. Oh people... they took pictures first before running away xDI knew it... she could be heard! Her voice can be heard and they heard her but since she doesn't talk even those who know her weren't able to recognize her at once. I was amused at the part when Shizuo realized it was her... the cigarette fell xDOh yeah, of course how she went down the building was really AWESOME!!!! Stunts like that always rock~ But it's actually a horse, making it even cooler xD *prefers horses over motorcycles*[ HE'S ANGRY (MIKADO) ]Namie to Mikado: Could it be that in today's world, people like you are the most dangerous?(Goddess, you are so right on him~ DON'T UNDERESTIMATE "GENTLE" PEOPLE.... ESPECIALLY IF HE'S A NARITA CHARACTER xD)Mikado doesn't like what Yamie's doing and wants her to turn herself in. He's being underestimated though and his ideals were made fun of.Mikado's a nice guy. I don't think he wants to be a hero exactly.... he just wants peace, order, and harmony. In this chaotic world, what he wants is something idealistic. I don't care if he does hero drama speech (which was awesome even pretty corny: "I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS"), as long as he actually does something about it. In other words, he's not just all talk but he actually does something. He began by encouraging people to do simple good deeds like picking trash or cleaning... now he has gone to entirely different level: going against criminals involved in human trafficking.Anywayz, Mikado seemed to have some attitude switch. Hmmm.... I don't see it exactly as that... it's more of he's showing his true self. He is still Kida's pure pure boy.... but he's one BADASS pure pure boy xD He sees something undesirable, and he frankly says he's not happy with it. I love his angry tone. For someone who's supposed to be weak and meek, he DARED to use such a tone and talk like that to my dangerous goddess. He has guts. He's no scaredy cat. He could be really dangerous and intimidating when pissed off. I LOVE THAT!Oh I really love it when characters turn out to be cooler than what they appear to be. I already love Mikado on his dopey self.... I love him even more for this kind of badass attitude.But come to think of it, ALL DRRR!! CHARACTERS ARE BADASS!!!! (Fine, maybe not all.... *really can't stand Seiji and Miwa*)[ DOLLARS (FOUNDER) ]So it's finally revealed in this episode that Mikado is actually one of the founders of Dollars. His co-founders seemed to have given up after the bad fake rumors about the group. Well, since Mikado continued it... I believe it's clear to assume that he's indeed the leader of the group.In this episode he has been communicating with Dollars members through the message boards... and he also managed to tex all members.I find it amazing that even though he's attacking Namie and her men, he still managed to have that attack done without any bloodshed at all. He just made them all stare at someone who's not looking at their phone. That got Namie and her men so disturbed xD It's simple... YET CREEPILICIOUSLY AWESOME!!!! Oh wow... even simple things can be this amazing.[ DOLLARS (MEMBERS) ]I find it awesome that a lot of the Dollars members are just ordinary citizens. Mikado managed to have ordinary citizens do something amazing... and even go against dangerous people. SEE! WE CAN BE AWESOME EVEN IF WE'RE INCAPABLE OF KICKASS FIGHTING!It's also so awesome that it appears that a lot of the main characters are Dollars members! Funny that BOTH Shizuo and Izaya are part of Dollars xD Bwahahahaha! I want Mikado to make them work together~[ LOVABLE IDIOTIC COUPLE (WALKER and ERIKA) ]Of course the Dollars members that we already know have also attended the first ever group meeting. It's cute though that even if it appears that the people that are crowded there are all Dollars members, Erika was still wondering which of them is part of their group xD Haha!And ah, anyone else noticed Erika's and Walker's message alert tones?"You have mail, young master." and "Wanna try to die once?"THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! xD[ LOVABLE IDIOTIC COUPLE (ISAAC and MIRIA) ]THESE TWO ARE PART OF DOLLARS TOO??? I AM NOT SURPRISED! LOLz!!!!!AND THEY'RE IN SHINSENGUMI COSTUME!!! LOLzzzz!Yes, it's like as you say Miria, it's amazing. SUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI xDTHEY'RE THE SAME AS EVER!!! I LOVE THOSE TWO xDOH I MISS BACCANO! DAMNIT I'LL FAINT FROM TOO MUCH DELIGHT IF FIRO, CLAIRE, LADD, and GRAHAM ALSO MAKE AN APPEARANCE xD[ DRRR!! TECHNOLOGY (LOL) ]Yahoo = YoohooWindows = MindowsAmazon = AmezonYoutube = Yo! TubeI think there were more... but I can't recall them at the moment (either that or I'm not familiar with the original site). I'm so amused with the name changes xD[ DRRR!! TECHNOLOGY (POWER OF THE INTERNET) ]I really find it incredible that the show uses the technology that we have right now in very badass ways xD It doesn't have to be in a futuristic setting, our era's/generation's technology can already be that incredible if you know how to use it xDWebsites... message boards... social networking... chat... mobile tex messaging.... internet.... all these everyday common things in real life could actually be used in stories that deal with supernatural phenomenon and gang/evil-organization wars.Oh I love technology~[ SHET YOU LOVER BOY xD ]Shinra: Marry me.HE JUST PROPOSED O_OSelty's reaction.... damn, this makes me wish she has a head.But she's still thinking about it so lovingly at the rooftop.... squeee~OH BE 100% CANON ALREADY xD[ OH SHIZUO~ ]Shizuo: "What is life?" "Why do people live?" Someone asked me that, and I beat him within an inch oh his lifeLessons learned:1) Don't go pathetically poetic infront of Shizuo xD Especially if you're an outlaw. Haha2) Being honest to Shizuo with as simple as admitting that you're not listening to him can also piss him off xD LOLz Saimon~[ SHE IS STILL MY GODDESS ]My goddess has a point when she's considering Mikado's ideals as something foolish. But ah well, as if her reasons aren't that foolish either. Humans can be such fools yet they're interesting (damn, I feel like Izaya xD)I don't think her brother deserves all the things she has done for him. And he totally doesn't deserve to still be bathing with her even in their present ages O_O *just saw latest chapter of the manga* Seiji's one lucky bastard, damnit. Undeserving lucky bastard. I guess he's already used to naked women because of his sister.... and she definitely has a very sexy body~[ JUST DIE SEIJI ]Uggghh... he goes "Only I can protect her" again... so he escapes from his sister's safety cell... and he ran after Mikado.OH MIKADO BE CAREFUL!!! (Or Izaya, go rescue him again xD LOLz)[ NEXT EPISODE ]Izaya has Selty's head now.... WTF!!!! O_O (ah, I already knew becaues of spoilers though)Anywayz, that means more Izaya screentime next episode. YESSSSSSSSSSSS~[ NEW OP and ED ](Thanks to Mimiko-chan for this update~ Info from official site btw)It's not yet 100% certain that this will premierre on episode 12, but official site has announced the singers of the new OP and ED themes!Opening theme is by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D with the song Complication. Ending theme will be by ON/OFF but the song hasn't been announced yet.I'm not familiar with the OP theme singers but the name of their group implies that the new OP theme will be PUNKish xD And I love ON/OFF music... most likely it'll be some cool r&b song like the current one. Kyaaaa! Whoever picks the artists for the OP and ED themes, he/she has taste xD I look forward to these!!! YAY!!!

I’ve been waiting for this episode: the point at which this series carries itself to a higher level. It’s here where it grabs the build-up of the previous episodes and develops it. And I have to say that it’s here where this series has become something truly unique. What an inspired episode. It was a [...]

These two really are immortal… Okay, so there’s no more speculation about who Mikado really is. Pretty much everything regarding the matter has been answered in this week’s episode. While not really much happened in the present, we learned a bit more about Mikado and why he started up the Dollars. Along with all the ass-kicking [...]

Celty took “standing on buildings in a brooding manner” lessons from The Animated Series-era Batman in this episode. Pretty good episode here. The reveal of the Dollars members is visually awesome, and I can even forgive it for being more than a bit contrived because of that. (At least it isn’t as silly as the million [...]

The last episode ended with more than a subtly change in Mikado's attitude and behaviour, as everything seemed to suddenly click into place for this previously mild-mannered teenager. So, just what is the secret that he's been hiding throughout the series so far?Before this is revealed however, the new-look Mikado has some work to do - Namely, brazenly calling up Namie Yagiri to tell her that he
