__TOC__
== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==
* I had one about ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano!]]'' thanks to another troper. I had previously added an example citing Claire as a [[Sir Not -Appearing in -In-This -Trailer]]. Another troper mentioned that this is also true of the characters connected to the Daily Days. Then a third noted the reason for this, which is where the briliance come in- ''reporters don't report on themselves'', and the series is through the lens of that paper's reporting on the Flying Pussyfoot incident- [[User:Jordan]]
* Another more common piece of [[Fridge Brilliance]] is the eventual reveal of why Jacuzzi, the most [[Shrinking Violet|timid]] character in the whole series would have the most attention-drawing feature, his huge [[Embarrassing Tattoo|jagged sword tattoo]]. It seems especially incongruous when you see that the tattoo is being used to identify him on his wanted posters. Turns out it's a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|CMOH]]: Jacuzzi got it after his best friend and later girlfriend Nice {{spoiler|scarred herself horribly after an explosives accident}}, so they could match and she wouldn't be alone in being stared at.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Isaac and Miria]] hatch a rather odd plot to [[Monumental Theft|steal an entire museum.]] It doesn't quite work out, so they just steal the door to "keep people from entering." Crazy? Maybe, until you realize that with the door stolen, the police would close the museum down for an investigation. So their plan WORKED, but maybe just not in the way they intended.
* Also notable is that Isaac and Miria performed the [[Post Episode Trailer|post-episode trailers]] as if they were actually watching the show and guessing what would be in the next episode. Take into account that {{spoiler|they're immortals living within the [[The Verse|Naritaverse]], where Baccano is actually a television show by the time the events of the [[Durarara!!]] anime start (Baccano plays on the big screen TV in the middle of town in some shots). }}Isaac and Miria could very well have been watching themselves on television in-universe without actually breaking the [[Fourth Wall]] at all; just talking to each other about the episodes.
** The television show thing is just anime original material and [[Cameo]] eyecandy though, Baccano characters in fact exist and interact with the Durarara cast from time to time. There's no [[Show Within a Show]] in the [[The Verse|Naritaverse]] when taking into account only the Light Novels canon.
* If Ladd didn't talk about one day killing Lua, their relationship would be kind of.....Normal.
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
** Wait. Isn't it revealed that the narrator of the first book is {{spoiler|Firo}}?
*** Not him, but the unnamed Japanese tourist with the stolen camera. His narration frames {{spoiler|Firo's}} narration.
* ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano!]]'': The awkward moment {{spoiler|you realise the rail tracer - Claire Stanfield - has been in the opening credits all this time.}}
** Not only that, he's {{spoiler|holding a bottle of wine. His assassin nickname is Vino.}}
