SNAPSHOT OF THE EPISODE
Although this episode started somewhat slowly, it quickly picked up. The star of this particular episode definitely has to be Mikado, and I must say it's about time! ^^ The last time we saw Anri was in episode 8, where she lost her shoes and Mikado was kind enough to find it for her... yet, she seemed ungrateful to him. But now, in this episode, Anri is strangely becoming attracted to him. Huh? What is with the sudden change of heart? Actually, now that I am typing this and thinking about it, I think this has to do with Mikado's recent involvement with Mika Harima. As we know, Mika Harima and Anri are supposedly very close friends.. or use to be, so my guess is that Anri is somehow aware of Mikado's recent involvement with Mika Harima. That's probably why Anri is reacting so positively with Mikado now. As usual, there has to be something deeper that will shock us later, but this is all I can guess for now.
Remember the bullies who picked on Anri earlier in the series? Well, the girl whom cellphone got stumped on by Izaya returns to get revenge on Mikado in this episode. She confronts Mikado along with her new biker boyfriend and starts picking on him. Mikado becomes terrified as expected and doesn't know what to do... but out of nowhere, Celty appears and does a roundhouse kick to that bully's biker boyfriend! The biker gets knocked out cold and now Izaya appears out of nowhere and starts stumping on him like he did to that bully's cellphone. Hehe. She then runs away crying. Bye bye, come again!
Mikado realizes he should just head straight home because things are way too crazy. So he makes up an excuse then says goodbye to Anri and starts walking home. On the way home, Mikado realizes that he is being followed by Celty and Izaya! Eeep! So he stops and decides to confront them before he reaches home. Mikado asks several questions to Celty and it eventually leads to Celty explaining her situation about how she is a Dullahan looking for her head. Mikado agrees with Celty's plea and decides to help her by convincing Mika Harima to meet her.
Once they arrive at Mikado's house, Mikado asks Izaya and Celty to wait outside while he discusses with Mika Harima first. They both agree to wait outside. When Mikado heads inside, he realizes Mika Harima is now gone! He then gets ambushed by two guys: they are also after Mika Harima's head and demands Mikado to confess about her whereabouts. Mikado refuses to say anything and the two guys are starting to get impatient.
Outside, Celty sees the Cleaning Service van parked outside and quickly realizes something is not right: "why would such an old apartment need a cleaning service?" Both Izaya and Celty dashes to Mikado's room to check on him and the two guys escapes through the window. Celty was going to chase after them but Izaya stops her, at which point Izaya mentions that they are part of the Yagiri Pharmacy. Many things started to go through Mikado's head: Anri, Mika Harima, Seiji Yagiri, Dollars. He quickly gets up, turns on his cellphone, goes onto the computer, and logs into the Dollars website with his mouse sparking! Hehe. And the episode ends with Mikado looking really cool against the sunset seen through a window of his apartment.
Thoughts?
So Mikado is Dollars?? As I said in my previous episode impressions, I'm beginning to think that EVERYONE is in Dollars. But the most important question is "who exactly are they and what is the meaning of their existance?", but I somehow don't expect that to be answered until near the end of this series. Overall, I really enjoyed this episode and it's certainly one of the best for me so far. It's refreshing to see Mikado as not so normal and I can't wait to see the next episode as always. ^^
