History Headscratchers / Durarara

**** Remember few epsidoes back when she was attacked by a [[spoiler: fake host of Saika]]? She managed to block it with her arm, you know.

** It was one of the previously-created children.

* It's probably something I missed or something the novels can explain better but how did the Saika infect anybody else after Anri's trauma?

** He don't really expect [[spoiler: to get to Valhalla]] -- he's not a warrior, but he's basically fine with it. He fears [[spoiler: nothingness after death]], and if his theories about [[spoiler: Ragnarok]] prove right, then even [[spoiler: ending up in Hel's realm]] won't scare him -- after all, it's still existence.

* In addition to the word 'dullahan', it also sounds like the sound a motorcycle makes.

*** Well, considering [[EmpatheticWeapon what the sword in question is...]]

*** Nope, you're wrong. Word of God says it's just a nonsense word that the author came up with it on the spot.

* Izaya wants to start [[spoiler:Ragnarok]] so he can be taken away by a [[spoiler:Valkyrie]] so he won't have to fear [[spoiler:TheNothingnessAfterDeath.]] Ok, I'm no expert on [[spoiler:Norse mythology]], but going off memory, [[spoiler:Valkyrie only take brave souls who die in combat.]] Izaya is quite frankly a coward who is just good at hiding it. How does he expect to be taken off by a [[spoiler:Valkyrie?]]

* Why do people assume that the boy that Mikado helps at the very end of Durarara OVA 2 is [[spoiler: Aoba.]] He doesn't look anything like him in the novel and to top it all off [[spoiler: He already lives in Ikebukuro and wouldn't need anyone to show him around.]] Also [[spoiler: If it was Aoba, wouldn't he already know Mikado's name anyway since he's that type of person to get information on people he plans on using?]]

** This has bugged me too. In episode 4, we see Shinra come in and talk to her while she's in the shower. She makes her text on the shower, but supposedly he can't see it because the door's not open wide. Later she is typing on the computer, but Shinra is on the desk next to her, he shouldn't be able to see it. It might be just animator laziness or to allow her to communicate better, but I like to think of it as one of her special powers being she can transcend her thoughts into someone else through text, that's why she still types even though noone directly looks at it.

** Shinra can ''guess her mood by "looking at her '''face'''''". [[ThePowerOfLove He's just that special]], he can probably guess what she wants to say without needing her to type it out. Although in the anime, sometimes we hear her voice but I took it to be her thoughts, it's not always clear that others can "hear" her.

** Call this a change but in the novel Mikado tends to not listen to Izaya (he even calls him conniving in the first chapter they meet), and Kida only listens to Izaya when it is revealed that [[spoiler: Mikado is the leader of the Dollars and when he ends up working and even then not really. In fact Mikado not listening to Izaya is why Izaya decides to impersonate Kida.]] Call it a change the anime made towards Kida and Mikado's personalities.

** I never thought much about it; maybe the producers just discarded that aspect because it didn't have any plot relevence? I don't know.

* I'm kind of shocked that no one has brought this up yet, because I'm halfway through the series, and it is killing me. Celty cannot talk; this is made very clear, and is indeed an early plot point, and her communication, though we the audience can hear it, is through her blackberry, typed out. Again, a big deal is made of this. So why??? every once in a while, is it completely ignored?!? I've seen her "talk" at least twice without the blackberry anywhere near her, and at one point, she does make the effort to type out what she says, but Shinri's face is buried in the couch and he never looks at the screen, but he still responds. It's a cool aspect of the character, but why would they introduce that if they're just going to ignore it?!?!

* Why are Erika and Walker under the [[spoiler: {{Those Two Bad Guys}}]]? As far as I'm concerned their [[spoiler: torture moves]] aren't even considered that of [[spoiler: bad guys because they mainly torture bad people.]]
