Durarara!!x2 Shou Season 2 Episode 4 デュラララ!!×２ 承 Anime Review

Aoba & izaya

Holy shit, like straight out after watching the ending of this episode I can confidently say this season is going to be twice as much better than the previous one! But before I dive into this brilliant episode, I would like to give a shout out to a friend of mine I met few weeks back and a fellow anime reviewer Danial Kurosaki! You can visit his awesome blog here.

The majority of this episode had that whole chase scene which was really entertaining. Basically while being chased for bounty, Celty had a bag containing Egor which was given to her by the manager of that Russian sushi disguised heavily under the instructions of those twins as they wanted to get up close look at Celty and she had to hold on to that bag for a day and then dispose it off for which she was being paid rather similar amount which she had lost and all of this was revealed at the end, classic Durarara style. At the start we all thought that bag may have a corpse or something but then Egor just comes out of the bag to help Celty under the influence of Saika, that whole scene I was like holy shit, good stuff! So in the end, Celty gets her lost money back with the help of those twins indirectly. Later all characters celebrate together and have hot-pot and stuff. That kawai romance scene between Shinra and Celty, straight out beautiful, really dig the romance of this series. 

Moving on, a massive set-up right at the end of this episode. Izaya is like a joker, he loves to see the world around him burn up and enjoys human emotions from it. Surprisingly he has been too quite lately possibly plotting something and he finally speaks up. That scene were he says that soon he'll announce to the world that the vacation is over and things are gonna get ugly, I was like damn, the next arc is gonna be epic, not just cause of Izaya but because there's another joker in town, Aoba. I didn't see that coming. Aoba was introduced to us along with those twins and by the end of this episode, he's definitely like Izaya 2.0. He also declared that he wants to take out Izaya first, he definitely has some balls. It's gonna be all out war between these two characters and something that'll be worth watching and though I think that maybe Izaya will likely win but who knows? Aoba might surprise us. Also interesting to note that Aoba is the younger brother of the founder of Blue square, a gang which use clash with Yellow scarf in the past.

Coming towards the end of this review, Saika is starting to act on it's own? It "stabbed" Egor without Anri's permission or rather very discreetly. I'm sure that's gonna cause problems in the future as she might start to stay away from others such as Mikado to avoid them getting stabbed and controlled by Saika. We also get to see some Shizuo beating the shit out of some gang members scene. Another interesting note that Izaya's assistant, Namie, is starting to produce some "sparks" by herself. Overall, a brilliant episode, a lot of set up for the upcoming arc something I look forward to. Thank you for reading this anime review, have a wonderful day or night wherever you live!
