History WMG / Baccano

Actually, "die" isn't the proper term here; rather, he'll decide that he's tired of being Claire Stanfield and decide that he wants to be [[TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]].

[[WMG: Claire Stanfield is a direct descendant of [[CelticMythology Cu Chulainn]].]]

[[WMG:The Heiwajimas of ''{{Durarara}}'' are descended from Huey Laforet, possibly through Chane and Claire.]]

Sometime after the events of ''{{Durarara}}'', a documentary series is made about the Daily Days' most significant reports, and Isaac and Miria [[AsHimself as themselves]] are invited to do an actors' commentary. The director loved their [[TheDitz goofy]] little {{foreshadowing}} [[ObfuscatingStupidity comments]] over the Next Episode previews, and left them in. To sum up the series' connection to the fictional "reality", it's a release of [[ShowWithinAShow a series]] about a report on the events that took place in the books, which in turn ''don't'' exist [[RecursiveReality within their own continuity]].

...It's [[spoiler: [[{{Durarara}} Orihara Izaya]] ]]

The two of them clearly have no real understanding of human behavior, as evidenced in the haberdashery scene. They hold onto a weird orange and blue mortality in which crippling a family's finances is a good deed that will make up for the evil deed of stealing chocolate bars. They also fail to understand thresholds, thinking that no one will be able to cross into the museum without a door.

Isaac and Miria are shown wandering around the streets of NYC in the year 2001. One of the final shots is a closeup of an airplane.

It could explain how he came back after being eaten by Czeslaw: he regenerated. As for what his TARDIS is, he could have lost it or it got destroyed somehow, and he got stuck in the 1700s.

[[WMG: Fermet is a [[DoctorWho Time Lord]]]]

*** According to Word of God [[spoiler:Rene]] is Chane's mother

Incredibly violent, apparently superhuman [[TheAce Ace]] that commands a presence canonically compared to the series' local EldritchAbomination?[[hottip:*:"Dallas himself had been various states of unconscious or dead through the duration of Ronnie's visit and so hadn't noticed, but those who had seen both Claire and Ronnie would swiftly realize that both men triggered an almost instinctual desire to run away in those who faced them."]] No way in Hell he's ''completely'' human. The red hair/pale skin combo ([=MC1R=]) has its highest concentration in Celtic nations, [[LightNovel/{{Durarara}} Celtic mythology is real]] in the Baccano! universe, and going by Charon, the superhuman athleticism seems to be in part genetic. Sure, Cu Chulainn killed his only son before he came of age, but who's to say he hasn't fathered a bastard ''daughter'' in his years of sleeping with just about every damn woman in Ireland? And Claire does seem to fancy himself as a sort of FolkHero...

* If true, this comes with the bonus Fridge Horror that [[spoiler:Czes]] actually ''could'' have destroyed [[spoiler:Fermet]] once and for all at the end of the 2002 arc. [[spoiler:Fermet]] gave him a very real chance, possibly the only real opportunity anyone's had yet. But as our ubervillain correctly guessed, [[spoiler:Czes]]' slowly-recovering morality (and his sickened refusal to have [[spoiler:Fermet]] in his head ''again) got in the way—leaving [[spoiler:Fermet]] free to keep tormenting.

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Fermet]] was never eaten at all]]
A massive source of trauma for the characters (and fans) is [[spoiler:Fermet]]'s apparent ability to survive not only one, but <i>two</i> instances of being consumed. Both [[spoiler:Czes (directly) and Firo (by eating Szilard who ate someone else who supposedly ate Fermet)]] have [[spoiler:Fermet]]'s memories, which should be impossible.

But there are <i>two</i> ways for an immortal to acquire another's memories and experience-- through consuming them, or through the knowledge being voluntarily transferred. As Maiza demonstrates with his brother, Immortals can push memories across through touch even if the recipient isn't wild on the idea. Combine this with the fact that [[spoiler:Fermet]] is a top-notch Sadistic Manipulator, and it seems entirely possible that he could feign enough terror to make the memories seem to end with him being eaten. It's also unlikely anyone wanted to look too closely.

This lets him fake his own death in a way other Immortals (and very importantly, <i>Szilard</i>, who might actually have eaten him) will believe. Plus he gets to torment [[spoiler:Czes]] in a heap of entirely new ways-- by inflicting his own memories and emotions on him via memory transfer, by coming back later to shatter the illusion of safety, and by deliberately planting the idea that [[spoiler:Czes]] might have eaten someone else entirely. <i>"If this is the case... who was the 'me' that you devoured before?"</i> After all, it's no <i>fun</i> to play with toys that are already broken past repair.
* In the light novels, [[spoiler:Czes]] says more than once that [[spoiler:Fermet]] attacked him with the intention of consuming him. He believes he was able to consume [[spoiler:Fermet]] instead in the ensuing scuffle, but between reach, strength, and initiative, it doesn't seem unlikely [[spoiler:Fermet]] might have gotten <i>his</i> hand in place first.
* If true, this comes with the bonus Fridge Horror that [[spoiler:Czes]] actually <i>could</i> have destroyed [[spoiler:Fermet]] once and for all at the end of the 2002 arc. [[spoiler:Fermet]] gave him a very real chance, possibly the only real opportunity anyone's had yet. But as our ubervillain correctly guessed, [[spoiler:Czes]]' slowly-recovering morality (and his sickened refusal to have [[spoiler:Fermet]] in his head <i>again</i>) got in the way—leaving [[spoiler:Fermet]] free to keep tormenting his favorite toy.
