{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Anri's father.}}
Line 39:
** Professor Nasujima gets clocked by Shizuo after coming at him with a knife and asking for his money. Nobody cares.
** {{spoiler|Earthworm. She's tortured many people in the past and her latest victim was Izaya, but since he's [[The Chessmaster|Izaya]] it turns out that he knew what was going to happen all along. He gets Ran Izumi over, who promptly breaks her legs, hits her fingers repeatedly with a plastic hammer, shoves a linen bag soaked with lamp oil into her mouth and ''lights it on freaking fire''. He also threatens to rape her, but luckily Mikage stops him.}}
* [[

* [[Bishonen]] : [http://images.wikia.com/durarara/images/9/9f/Kasuka_Heiwajima_OP_2.png Kasuka], [http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/10100000/Shizuo-durarara-10104029-459-604.jpg Shizuo], [http://www.yesanime.com/image/products/11567_1.jpg Izaya], [http://images.wikia.com/durarara/images/5/55/Durarara!!_E04_03m_25s.jpg Shinra] , [http://images.wikia.com/durarara/images/a/ac/Mikado_Ryugamine_EP01_01.jpg Mikado], [https://web.archive.org/web/20141204153550/http://www.animetrack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Durarara-25-sub.jpg Kida], [https://web.archive.org/web/20161024120141/http://images.wikia.com/durarara/images/1/14/Durarara_Kuronuma_Aoba_1_-Small_Wallpaper-.jpg Aoba], [https://web.archive.org/web/20161024120154/http://images.wikia.com/durarara/images/f/f5/Durarara!!_E03_21m_17s.jpg Seiji], [http://static.zerochan.net/full/12/10/210512.jpg Tom], [http://i.imgur.com/THLru.jpg Walker], [http://static.zerochan.net/full/34/21/636084.jpg Chikage], [http://anime-online.tv/upload/pjs/c8f7fd2eee2cbc0f0bb3bd36af7f8cd8.jpg Ryo Takiguchi]{{Dead link}} and [http://i.imgur.com/50mEz.jpg Nasujima-sensei].
* [[Bland-Name Product]]:
** Tons in episode 11. Mikado owns a Mindows 7 desktop computer that runs wbunte and uses it to visit the websites Yohoo! Japan.came, Amezon.shop, [[Image Boards|Niru Channel]], Yo!Tube, [[wikipedia:Mixi|Nixi,]] and NSM, among others.
Line 336:
* [[Mook Chivalry]]: the Yellow Scarves {{spoiler|actually Blue Square infiltrators}} show this to an odd degree {{spoiler|when Kida comes to challenge Horoda}}. Justified in the next episode though by the reveal {{spoiler|that many in the crowd were actually Dollars members brought by Kadota, thereby explaining why they didn't attack Kida- and presumably, the other Blue Squares/Yellow Scarves just followed their lead.}}
* [[Molotov Cocktail]]: {{spoiler|Walker}} uses one on a van-full of Blue Square members.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: {{spoiler|Walker and Erika as [[Torture Technician|Torture Technicians]].}} Starts out kinda [[Comedic Sociopathy|goofy.]] [[Fridge Horror|Two minutes later, you realized you've stopped taking deep breaths because your brain's trying process what]] [[Eye Scream|just]] ALMOST happened. Yeah, [[Those Two Guys]]. Thankfully cut a bit in the anime ...but cranked [[Up to Eleven]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20161001200945/http://i1.mangareader.net/durarara/7/durarara-1202191.jpg in the manga.]
* [[Car Fu|Motorcycle Fu]]: Celty.
** Also see: Shizuo when he {{spoiler|yanks a motorcycle out from under an idling biker and attempts to beat Simon over the head with it}} and {{spoiler|throws Vorona's motorcycle at her}}.
Line 379:
* [[One Head Taller]]: Shinra and Celty, a bit more [[Losing Your Head|literally]] than other examples.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted with Tom Tanaka and Taro Tanaka, though the latter is just a chatroom handle. Justified in that "Taro Tanaka" is pretty much the Japanese "John Smith".
* [[
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Mikado, Kida, and Anri. {{spoiler|And yes, they're ''all'' hiding some pretty serious secrets or abilities -- even from each other.}}
▲* [[OT3]]: Erika has one in the form of Shizuo/Kadota/Izaya. She even ''calls'' it an [[OT3]].
* [[Otaku]]: Togusa, Walker and Erika
* [[The Other Darrin]]: {{spoiler|Isaac and Miria in the dub, played by Sam Riegel and Stephanie Sheh.}}
Line 413:
* [[Running Gag]]: '''''IIIIIII-ZAAAAAA-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'''''
** Also, Simon's apparent inability to bring any customers to his shop.
* [[Rule 34
** He then decided to screw with the fans by writing a Shizaya story as an April Fools joke. [http://hi.baidu.com/datacat/blog/item/52c6cbfb1c700b68024f5610.html Found Here].
* [[Say My Name]]: See above.
Line 539:
{{quote|'''Vorona:''' Siberia. The correct pronunciation of which is Сибирь ([sʲıˈbirʲ]), may denote a Federal District of Russia or a wider area. The meanings are many-layered. And in Japan they also call a certain kind of dessert Siberia. Explanations vary as to how the name originated, among which a theory exists that it comes from the delicious fillings inside the Castella resembling the tundra and railways in Siberia. The Castella is said to be the first cake variety to be introduced to Japan. After that the Japanese developed their unique cake culture under various influences from different countries. The variety called the shortcake is also uniquely Japanese. At Christmas the Japanese are especially big on cakes, and on the streets all kinds of cakes send tantalizing smells to my nasal cavity.
'''Shizuo:''' ... Are you craving some? Cake, I mean. }}
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Kinnosuke Kuzuhara admits most fiction's portrayal of cops as Worf compared to rebellious protagonists, but takes it as a compliment as it means that they are considered strong enough to be considered obstacles.
* [["World of Cardboard" Speech]]: Shizuo in Ep. 17, as he {{spoiler|fights the Saika's children}}.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Subverted by Izaya ("I don't like hitting girls...Which is why I instead make it a hobby to [[Memetic Mutation|stomp on their cellphones!]]")
** Played straight by Shizuo {{spoiler|...except when Vorona stabs him, thus reminded him of Izaya. }}
