Durarara!!/Fridge: Difference between revisions

== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==

** Don't forget that the Dollars overlap with all the other groups. There in fact are plenty of Dollars among the Slashers, even though the idea that the Dollars would have instigated the phenomenon is false.

** Celty's fear of aliens might seem a little random at first (particularly since she herself is a supernatural phenomenon), but consider this: Celty's most traumatic memory is when she was vivisected by Shingen while fully conscious. What habit does pop culture usually attribute to [[The Greys]]? [[They Would Cut You Up|Abducting people and vivisecting/experimenting on them]]. Worst yet, Celty ''knows'' that the world she lives in is a [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]], so she knows that little grey [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]] are entirely plausible.

*** And we ''[[The Faceless|never]]'' [[The Faceless|see Shingen's face]].

** When you've got a [[Meaningful Name]] like "Mikado Ryugamine," and you're on the top at the ending song...let's just say that there's more to you than meets the eye.

** Also that girl who didn't have any name in the opening credits? {{spoiler|She didn't have a name because her name was already shown...She's Celty! Well, her head anyway, it's complicated. }} Now in the second ending, her name is shown. {{spoiler|Actually, that's not Celty's head, that girl just having the same face (with the help of a certain doctor). Her name has been mention at least once in the anime.}}

** See [[Faceless Masses]] for another instance.

* I just realized something, {{spoiler|Anri}} claims that the only she can wield Saika without going insane is because she can't feel love right? Well, assuming that's true, {{spoiler|Shinra's dad}} has also wielded Saika in the past, in order to {{spoiler|cut off Celty's head.}} However, he actually is capable of feeling love, as evidenced by his status as a [[Papa Wolf]] (apparently the only reason he did that with the sword is because someone threatened his son's life). This means that he can pick up and use Saika without being driven insane and being controlled by it despite having an apparently undamaged capacity to love. This says ''a lot'' to me about how strong this person is mentally, and he just became a [[Badass]] in my eyes.

** That, or he's just [[Disability Superpower|insane enough not to be affected.]]

* This is probably more suited for the trivia page but while rewatching Durarara with my sister, she spotted a Slasher stalking Shizuo in the background in episode 13, foreshadowing the fact that he's their main target.

* So the Raira trio can all be associated with one of the three primary colors, yeah? Mikado = Blue, {{spoiler|colorless for the Dollars,}} Masaomi = Yellow {{spoiler|and the yellow scarves}}, and Anri = Red {{spoiler|and the slasher.}} But for me, it always felt like there wasn't enough to Mikado being associated with the color blue, like there should be a little more to it. And then I realized that it wasn't just because it was the color most relatable to {{spoiler|'colorless'}} and a good contrast to the other two, but that it was brilliant foreshadowing early on for {{spoiler|Mikado becoming a part of the Blue Squares.}}

* It is impossible for Anri to have a normal life because of Saika. She can't allow herself to love because she would succumb to Saika's influence if she did, which means she can never get past the trauma of being abused or watching her mother commit suicide. She could get married and have children, but sex would be a purely physical act, devoid of any emotion, nor could she bond to her children.
