History WMG / Durarara

Well, Celty might be a Valkyrie, and with his constant manipulation of others, Izaya seems an obvious fit for Loki, and maybe Shizuo is either Thor or Baldr- he hates Izaya on sight because of what Loki did to him. Anri is Freyja- one of her roles was leading the Valkeries, hence the sword she carries, and while Freya was a love goddess, since this is Japan, she was incarnated as a {{moe}} schoolgirl. Kida also seems like a good Thor candidate, given his jovial manner and not being that bright. Finally, I could see Mikado as Odin- he pursues wisdom and is really good at getting people to follow him.
* Following the theory, Shizuo would be more fit as Thor candidate. If I remember correctly, Thor is the kind of god who is not the brightest and Shizuo isn't the brightest character of the cast, either. Masaomi on the other hand just acts like an idiot - he is certainly not, [[HiddenDepths there's more than meets the eye]]. And instead of Shizuo, ''Masaomi'' might have qualities to be Baldr/Baldur, since he is Izaya's so-called King Of Sacrifice. Baldr's death was what led to Ragnarok, too. It's debatable, though.

* Actually Shinra could be Odin. Friends with Loki (Izaya). Check. Some TricksterArchetype characteristic himself. Check. Close connection to the Valkyrie. Check.
* Simon would fit Heimdall. Not only Heimdall was the guardian of the Bifrost, thus keeping Valhalla safe, but he was constantly Loki's rival in terms of his job and that he often was rarely fooled. He happens to be a key figure in keeping Ikkeburo in order when he appears and has gave Izaya several lectures. Fits him perfectly!
** Wouldn't be the last time [[Film/{{Thor}} Heimdall was Black...]]

* This troper kinda thinks walker looks similar to Chic.....

** If he's in the closet, it is the most transparent closet ''ever.'' There was at least one time he deliberately goaded Celty into {{Dope Smack}}ing him, and was happy when she did.
** Shinra is [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku]]?
*** [[CastingGag Yes]], [[Creator/JunFukuyama mai]] [[Creator/YuriLowenthal lordo]].

[[WMG: Takashi Nasujima has a daughter. Her name is [[{{Hyouka}} Shoko Yuasa]]. ]]

[[WMG: Saika is the Soul Embrace, aka Broken Destiny from the SoulSeries "purified" of its evil.]]

[[WMG:Mikado is a {{Vocaloid}}]]

[[WMG:Yamaha will discover Psyche and Tsugaru, get Creator/HiroshiKamiya and Creator/DaisukeOno, and turn them into {{Vocaloid}}s.]]

[[WMG: TheBigBad of the series isn't Izaya, but [[spoiler: Mikado.]]]]

[[WMG: The characters are incarnations of the deities from NorseMythology]]

''Or'' he deliberately acts like he is, to troll other people with passing knowledge of NorseMythology [[FourthWallObserver and the audience]].

Anri falls within Sheh's typecast: teenage girl ([[EurekaSeven or appears to be one]]) [[Manga/{{Naruto}} with huge breasts and severe emotional issues]] resulting in [[Manga/{{Bleach}} something from eccentricity]] to [[Anime/{{FLCL}} insanity.]] However, since the dub knew they were getting the 12:30 AM Sunday timeslot, they didn't want to be overshadowed by Manga/{{Bleach}}, so they avoided casting Sheh in order to be taken seriously.

[[WMG: The events of {{Durarara}} take place in the early timeline of TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}.]]

[[WMG:Izaya is actually Prussia from AxisPowersHetalia.]]

Since Sham tends to adapt the beliefs and lifestyles of his vessels, what we see is how the real Izaya would act. Because of this, we wouldn't be able to know if this theory is true or not without confirmation or denial.

[[WMG: Izaya is the physical manifestation of the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E07AmysChoice dark side]] of a certain [[Series/DoctorWho Timelord]]]]

Because i think it's pretty clear Izaya's not human. He and the Master are both FauxAffablyEvil [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent]]/ManipulativeBastard [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Manchildren]] with plenty of FoeYay. After [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E17E18TheEndOfTime The End Of Time]], he fled to Japan and regenerated. Izaya's fear of death could be related to why the master [[JokerImmunity never dies, even when he's supposed to.]]

Since this is the same universe as Baccano! Izaya found (or will find) a way to become immortal. Or maybe he already is.

*** [[HeyItsThatVoice Yes]], [[JunFukuyama mai]] [[YuriLowenthal lordo]].

Because we all know it's coming, and it's made even more possible by the fact that [[spoiler: Mikado's rival Aoba will become the protaognist alongside with Kururi and Mairu Orihaar beginning in volume 13, following a two-year timeskip]].

It is just me or is that the singularly most terrifying thing you can think of?

* This troper thinks about the same thing, too, although she must disagrees with the whole Naoya's appearances being similar to Izaya's (Naoya was a basic WhiteHairedPrettyBoy while Izaya was more like Atsuro without a hat instead, but then again, [[spoiler: a problem easily fixed with reincarnation]]). Too bad that Izaya was not named as Kai or Kaien or something, though. Wait, so, does this make Mikado [[spoiler: another reincarnation of Abel/a piece of Abel's soul]], then?
