Why are you asking about the Dollars?
Mikado, don't tell me you want to join the Dollars... Do you?
What the hell does that mean?!
Why does some other body have my head?!
Maybe there was a fresh corpse or something it found?
This'll be fun! This'll be fun! This'll be fun!
What do you think will happen if the police find that thing?
I don't care if she's alive or dead. If necessary, dispose of her right away!

DURARARA!!
Things are a bit tight this month.
Now, I need a sponge for the kitchen...
Thank you!
The black bike!
It should be right around that corner...
I-I'm sorry!
Are you all right?
You're-
Save me!
Please!
Wow, the Black Rider!
Wow, so cool!
Get a photo! We've gotta get a photo!
Oh, man. This is so cool!
Never Before Seen
So, the beautiful girl you ran into on a street corner...
was being chased by a bad guy on a bike, and has amnesia.
And now that I'm here, she's tired and asleep.
You expect me to believe this rather-difficult-to-swallow story?
It's true, man!
The only way it'd be better is if you were also almost late for school.
Oh, and if she were a transfer student, too. How marvelous!
And she's a queen and your childhood friend, to boot. That would be perfect!
Oh, did you get my joke on "BETA" (cliche) and "better"?
Yes, but I think explaining your own joke is super lame.
She has no memories and says she doesn't want me to go to the police.
I don't know what to do.
You'll just have to watch her for a while.
For now, wait till tomorrow and then hear what she has to say.
Okay.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Yeah. Thanks for coming so late.
The Black Rider may know my face now.
That urban legend, the Black Rider...
What can I do if it comes after me? How can I possibly fight that?
I disliked the ordinary.
I wanted to live a life different than those of others.
That might be why I'm letting her stay here.
There's one thing Masaomi doesn't know about - her scar.
It was like someone sawed her head off and then sewed it back on.
This is the school store.
We are sold out of jumbo melon bread.
We will not take reservations for tomorrow.
Hey, Mikado! We will not take reservations for tomorrow.
How's the sleeping beauty in your apartment? We will not take reservations for tomorrow.
How's the sleeping beauty in your apartment? We do not take orders for the next day.
Masaomi, quiet!
What? You have a beautiful girl in your apartment?
How'd I miss gossip like that? What? You have a beautiful girl in your apartment?
You see, when Mikado was turning a corner,
he ran into a beautiful girl with amnesia...
being chased by a bad guy, and now she's living with him.
What?
Isn't that just Kirigamine's fantasy?
It's Ryugamine...
Someone buy these meal tickets off me.
See? No one believes you. It's fine.
So how is she?
She was asleep when I left.
That's one sleepy babe.
Anyway, let me get to the point.
The point?
This is why I'm going so far as to eat in fourth period, to free up my lunchtime.
The "Is He in the Dollars" poll?
Right now, it's kind of big in our class.
The Dollars are shrouded in mystery.
So you vote on the guy at school who makes you think, "Like, doesn't he look like a Dollar?"
Wow. Some people are getting a lot of votes.
A person can vote for as many people as they want.
Huh? This Takiguchi guy, from 1-D, only has one vote.
You noticed that?
That was none other than my vote.
I'm in his gym class,
and I'm sure that he's part of the Dollars.
Why do you think so?
A hunch.
And so, I'm going to make sure.
Hey, wait!
Excuse me!
Is Ryou Takiguchi here?
He's not here.
Is he in the cafeteria?
Probably on the roof of the building.
He goes there a lot during lunchtime.
Maybe he's smoking up there.
Shouldn't we go back?
There might be scary people up there.
I'm kidding.
Kids only smoke on the roof in typical old mangas.
But...
Are we just going to say, "Are you in the Dollars?"
He won't tell us the truth...
Leave it to me.
I've got an idea.
He's smoking...
Hey, Takiguchi.
Hi.
Oh, you're writing a song.
Yeah, I am.
What's up?
You need something?
Something I want to ask you.
Go ahead.
Are you part of the Dollars?
Masaomi, what are you-
Yeah, I am.
Thought so.
I was sure of it.
See?
My hunch is perfect.
Oh, this guy's an old friend of mine.
I'm Mikado Ryugamine.
So, you're the famous Mikado Ryugamine.
Famous?
The name's famous.
Want some?
Oh, thanks.
Thank you.
Um, Takiguchi?
Why did you join the Dollars?
I can't tell you exactly why...
About six months ago, I got an e-mail from someone I didn't know.
He said that there were no rules or restrictions in the Dollars.
At first, I thought there was no such thing, but it might be fun to join if there were.
I don't like giving orders or taking them, you know?
So, what are they like?
I dunno. Probably the best words to describe them are "colorless" and "transparent."
"Colorless" and "transparent"?
They don't try enlisting more people to wear their colors
to fight for power like the Yellow Scarves or Blue Square.
Blue Square?
They were a color gang that was big when I was in middle school.
I don't know the details, but they committed some crimes and then fell apart.
Masaomi?
Then you like the Dollars?
Yeah.
So do you meet the other members?
I only know them by their online nicknames.
But I've met a bunch at my job or in town by accident.
Sometimes it just felt like they might be, and they were.
Like, what kind of person?
Why not just ask them, like you asked me?
I think most would admit it.
Oh, crap.
I'm heading back!
Once I knew Takiguchi was a Dollars member, I figured I'd never tell anyone.
Mikado! Once I knew Takiguchi was a Dollars member, I figured I'd never tell anyone.
I know. I won't tell anyone. Once I knew Takiguchi was a Dollars member, I figured I'd never tell anyone.
I'm sure he wouldn't want people to make a big deal out of it.
Everyone, take your seats.
I figure it's something only those who ask him need to know.
Stand up.
Bow.
That ends the Representative's Meeting.
I wonder if Masaomi's still busy with the Discipline Committee.
I think he'll be done soon.
Hey, wait!
Seiji Yagiri's stalker, Mika Harima, has been missing since the day before school.
Have you heard anything about Mika since then?
No. Nothing.
Ryugamine!
Kida asked you to head home without him.
Did something happen with him?
Looks like he's having a heated debate with the Committee.
See you.
Um, you want to go, then?
I wonder what he's arguing about.
Probably what kinds of clothes or hairstyles are allowed or something.
Mikado! Probably what kinds of clothes or hairstyles are allowed or something.
Mikado!
Make sure you talk to that hot babe!
Introduce me soon!
Peace.
See you!
Ms. "Hot babe" is a French girl we met at Russia Sushi,
and um... sh-sh-she has a nose piercing.
I'm sure he's arguing about a nose piercing...
I've actually known about you for a long time.
When we turned in our forms...
to officially join the school, there was a list of names at the desk.
I saw a name and thought it was cool,
and it turned out, the person it belonged to was standing right next to me...
And then I ended up being class reps with him...
Wait a second! Isn't this just like Mika Harima and Seiji Yagiri? And then I ended up being class reps with him...
Wait a second! Isn't this just like Mika Harima and Seiji Yagiri?
Oh, man. Is she a stalker?
Wait. If she's hot, it's okay, right?
No way. This is really bad.
It might go like...
I want you! She might stab me!
Fire! Or maybe set me on fire!
Wait. Maybe she'll take my parents hostage...
"Dad,, "Mom" Wait. Maybe she'll take my parents hostage...
But if she's got a nice personality, then maybe it's okay...
Wait. If she's stalking me, she can't have a nice personality!
I'm kidding.
You wouldn't want someone like me hanging out with you all the time.
No...
Don't worry.
I'm not a stalker!
No, um... Well...
I'm sorry...
No. I'm the one who teased you, so don't apologize.
Um... Um...
Um, well...
I-I look forward to our relationship from now on.
Me, too.
Takeshi, that's the guy!
Who's "the guy?"
It's not me, right?
I mean you!
Don't ignore me!
Uh, who are you?
I had to buy a new cell phone because of your friend!
Umm... I don't know what you're talking about.
I hear you're friends with the guy who broke my girlfriend's cell phone.
I don't think we're really friends.
So, what is he?
Your dad?!
Your co-guarantor?!
I think your assumptions are not even close...
You think you can lecture me?
I'll teach you what hierarchical relation means... What?
You're taking advantage of the fact that I don't hit girls?
What a wonderful girl you are.
I'd make you my girlfriend, but you're not my type. Sorry.
Hit the bricks!
How awful!
See ya around!
Now then, Mikado Ryugamine,
I was hiding outside the gate to find you.
I'd like to talk to you.
By the way, why is the Black Rider here?
It's looking for her...
Oh, I forgot!
M-My apologies.
I'm in a bit of a hurry...
See you around, Anri.
This is surreal...
But they're going to follow me home.
Then...
Save me!
U-Uh... Well...
If you need something, I'll listen here.
I can talk to you after the Black Rider does.
Hello?
Oh, thank you for your business as always.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
What?
Oh, so it can communicate.
Ah, what are you?
I'm looking for a relative's missing daughter.
I found her yesterday, but for some reason, she ran away.
Y-You're an awful liar.
I-I'm sorry. I don't believe you.
How much do you know about me?
Um, you're a sort of an urban legend.
You ride a bike without engine sounds or headlights.
And...
I've heard that you have no head.
Do you believe that?
Uh, will you show me what's inside your helmet?
I was amazed I was able to ask that.
Do you swear you won't scream? I was amazed I was able to ask that.
Do you swear you won't scream?
I felt that I'd always been waiting for a moment like this to occur.
I don't know how to describe what I felt...
I just found myself saying, "I knew it! I knew it!" again and again.
Th-Thank you.
And then, the Black Rider told me the real reason why it was chasing after the girl yesterday.
That she was a Dullahan named Celty,
that she'd come to Japan seeking her stolen head,
that the person with the stitches on her neck looked just like her.
Normally, I'd never have believed it, but oddly enough, I felt like I could.
Are you a friend of hers?
No. I just met her yesterday.
I asked her a lot of things, but she said she'd lost her memories.
Celty?
Would you let me see her?
She's scared of you, probably because you chased after her.
I want to meet her, no matter what.
Would you try to fix the misunderstanding?
All right.
Nothing like fruit milk in the afternoon.
I think this is a sure sign she's turning into a Biri-biri Heroine.
Nah. The heroine's gotta be Himegami!
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?!
That bastard... He...
He hit the van with a rock!
Calm down, Saburo!
You'll pay for that!
The lights are red! Red! Red!
Please wait here for a minute.
I'll explain the situation to her.
I wouldn't want her to think I betrayed her, should she see you first...
Understood.
He sure is a cautious boy, isn't he?
What?
I had never heard your name before.
Didn't take you for a foreigner...
Liar.
Throw another rock at my horse and you'll pay.
So, it's a horse.
But you know... Isn't he taking a bit too long?
A cleaning company at a run-down apartment building like this?
No way...
I told you,
tell us where the girl you were hiding went.
This hair in your futon is from a girl, isn't it?
Please! I don't know!
Please don't hurt me-
You've seen our faces, you know.
We can kill you here if we want.
Someone's coming!
I-I'm saved...
You don't need to follow them.
I know where they're from.
I've seen that van before.
They're probably from Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.
Yagiri Pharmaceuticals?
Yup.
A screwed-up giant that's been going downhill, about to be bought out by a foreign company.
The missing girl with the scar on her neck,
the Dullahan,
the missing people,
Mika Harima,
Seiji Yagiri,
human trafficking,
and the Dollars.
What is he doing?
I didn't want normalcy.
Honestly, I only half believed it.
Please do me this favor. I'll need your help for a little while.
I wanted to try living differently from most people.
I have all the pawns I need.
That's why...
I was right!
I was...
