Evening, patrolmaaan.
I like that Jinnai is doing the same thing as Izaya and has someone else doing things under his name to give himself protection, but whereas Izaya goes through the effort of blackmailing someone to get plastic surgery to become his doppelganger Jinnai just gets some random guy that looks nothing like him.

didnt the aniplex subs get the policewoman's name wrong. they called her Maju Kuzuhara. i thought her name was Shinju Kuzuhara. based aniplex.

anyways the girl policewoman is the niece of the motorcycle cop who scares Celty, Kinnosuke Kuzuhara. the Kuzuhara's are a family of police officers.
Mine reversed everyone's names, which is mildly annoying normally, but becomes extremely aggravating when they pretend characters are using first names when they're clearly not. :unsmigghh:

What was Togusa trying to do there? Pre-emptively apologize to his old school friends for murder? :psyduck:

all of kadota's pals want to kill the guy who ran him over. erika said as much, walker brought a bomb into a karaoke booth, and togusa warned people from his school that the school reputation is about to be ruined (because they're going to have graduated a murderer)

edit: oops spoilers i guess

Goddamn, the chat rooms were hard enough to follow already without people impersonating other people we've already identified. I've just about given up on following them in any detailed sense.

I think every scene with Mikado are becoming my favourite parts of the show, because at least in some way they all show that this kid is messed up. :allears:

Also, The Dollars are a really cool concept and i'm liking that now the show is really starting to explore the morality of an anonymous gang with no hierarchy. And also exploring just how this type of gang can even be maintained. It's all cool stuff.

Well, not as dramatic an end as I'd expected to this cour, but brilliant nonetheless. I know there's no new proper episodes until January, but is there anything else planned in-between?

Nope. It's off for a season then it comes back in January for the final 13 episodes.

This season was pretty much just putting all the pieces in place for what is bound to be a clusterfuck of a finale. It's gonna be great!

Glad to see the final season. This episode was pretty fun. With the formation of the guild I think pretty much all the cast is going to end up in a group for whatever the final showdown is. We've got the Yodogiri Group, Izaya's team, Celty's guild, the Dollars, and the Yellow Scarves, and maybe the Awakusa Group also. I'd imagine everyone who matters will be affiliated with one of those. Not sure if I'm missing any key players.

Who was it whose legs got smashed by Izumii again? Not Saki, but the one who was on the news this episode, unless I just hallucinated that. Was it the drug lady?

I think that was the lady in the purple dress from amphisbaena named Earthworm.

Let's be honest, Celty has always been the closest thing to an audience stand-in.

Girl who just does her job and wants to live in peace with her man, who is somewhat of a butt but cares about her.


Also, before I was just fine on all the split cour stuff because I read the light novels up to that point and now I'm with the rest of you, completely lost and confused.

She got her arms smashed by Izumii. (Izumii did smash Saki's legs in the past however.) It was Earthworm Amphisbaena leader who captured Izaya. Shijima the Drug Dealer guy (Whose fake boss was the same fake boss that Earthworm had.) is the one meeting with Mikado.

But I'm ok with it, because the show gets more insane every season.

I thought the op was good and so was the ed. Also, the ed is now absolutely saturated with characters, geez. This season is going to be one hell of a mess, in all the best ways.

Oh, and :rip: Celty. She just got saddled with a group that's filled with the craziest people in Ikebukuro, and Egor. She has it rough.
