Dada!
Banzai!
Dotochin is not only our support system, he's also our brakes.
But... Thank goodness.
Even if Shizuo Heiwajima's been arrested, it's after he left the Dollars.
Varo—
Just for a while, would you mind taking a nap?
Hey, can you let me join, too?
People meet. By accident, inevitably, whether they like it or not,
people can't help meeting each other.
Whether by fate, or conspiracy...
As if something was guiding them, they came together, separated,
passed each other by, and confronted each other.

I'm going to head home now for a shower, so why don't you call it a day, too, Anri?
When Dotachin wakes up, I'll tell him, "If you'd come to a little sooner,
you could've seen a bespectacled fallen angel erotic maid with a huge rack!"
Okay.
I know I have a lot of nerve, relying on her at a time like this...

The number you've reached is either out of our service area or—
It Takes a Thief to Catch a Thief
Notice: On 7/29 at 7:00, there was a hit-and-run at this location. If you have any details, please notify the police.
Hey there, Maju. Off-duty today?
Uncle!
Seriously, a hit-and-run on my turf? The guy's got a lot of nerve!
At least there weren't any casualties.
But it looks like things are going to get crazy.
Yeah, I hear the guy that got run over is a higher-up in a color gang.
His name is Kyohei Kadota, and he's a member of the Dollars.
In town, all they're talking about is how Shizuo Heiwajima got arrested.
I think the people in Public Safety have their work cut out for them.
Shizuo Heiwajima?
Oh, right, that guy who dresses like a bartender.
They say he's involved with the Dollars,
and he's even rumored to be friends with that Headless Rider.
Oh, yeah? With that monster...
Meaning that it does interact with people, then?
Hey, don't be so ticked off.
He'll be out in no time.
That confounds my understanding.
What does Shizuo-senpai's arrest have to do with the fact that I'm inwardly seething?
So you know that "ticked off" means "angry," huh?
However... However, there are innumerable seeds of doubt in my mind!
Why would Shizuo-senpai...
They must've had their eye on him.
Since the victim filed a complaint, the cops must've seen their chance.
I, for one, don't believe for a second that Shizuo beat a woman for no reason.
It's got to be some BS misunderstanding, or else someone's trying to frame Shizuo.
I'm calling my lawyer, so can we forget about this voluntary questioning?
A false charge is a false charge, so I'll be fine.
It would be child's play for Shizuo-senpai to break out of that detention cell.
If he's a fugitive arch-villain,
I can take him on without reservation, as long as I claim self-defense.
But... I haven't paid him back for treating me to that canned coffee.
Nor for taking me to that delicious cake shop.
Most importantly, I can't say I've matured enough to defeat him.
Why?
Why do I keep searching for reasons not to fight Shizuo-senpai?
Long time no see...
Varona.
Sloan?!
There was a possibility that you'd survived, then?
Until this moment, what actions have you taken?
Well, you know, a lot happened.
They ripped out about ten of my teeth... and let me off with that.
Right now, the Awakusu Group has assigned me
to work as a kind of assistant to some information broker.
Is that right? I am relieved to confirm your survival.
Well, but I think it's too soon for relief.
You should get away from this town for a while.
It's going to get dangerous around here for you.
Incomprehensible. I find this city extremely tame.
Both you and I are about to be used as cogs in a little war.
I couldn't ask for more.
Should they drag me into the thick of their machinations,
I shall only make them regret taking on such an arduous task.
Now that you've found your comfort zone in this city's tameness,
you won't be able to fight like before, will you?
Are you subjecting me to the kind of disdain that implies statism now? Me?
Hey, you shouldn't be mean to the poor girl, Sloan.
Sometimes lukewarm water is better for you, you know?
And by now, thanks to this lukewarm environment,
she might have become way more terrifying than she was before.
Who are you?
I've hired you before. Have we never met?
I'm Izaya Orihara. I'm an information broker in this city.
Izaya Orihara. Now I remember.
Hey, to think that you remember the names of all your clients?
That's what you call a pro—
Shizuo-senpai's mortal enemy. That is what I have heard.
I shall now annihilate you.
By doing so, I will be able to return the favors I owe Shizuo-senpai.
Oh?
Who knew that Shizu-chan had tamed an adolescent girl?
Oh, whatever. Just whose pawn you'll end up becoming...
As someone whose hobby it is to observe humans, that really piques my interest.
Who cares if you're that steel-framed demon's ally?
I'll be happy to love you as a human being.
Apparently, you don't like me.
All right, then, let's go.
I thought we were done with all our work for the day.
I lost contact with Namie around dusk.
It could be that they struck first.
Let's take care of this all at once by tomorrow morning.
That way, this ex-partner of yours that you're so worried about
can most likely avoid becoming "their" pawn.
Izaya Orihara's baiting filled Varona's heart with cold poison.
Slowly but surely, her heart began to turn back into what it was when she first arrived in the city.
You don't mind, do you? Mikado Ryugamine...
I'm gonna die.
This is bad.
No... I don't want to die!
It's no good... There are still things I need to do.
No.
Hey, what a relief.
To find that you're the kind of kid who'll freak out just from a vibe like that.
What's the deal, old man?
This is private, you know.
Hey, stay back!
A supernatural power?
Gimme a break. That was just a trick.
If I had a supernatural power, I'd have long ago...
Long ago... Let's see. What would I be, Transporter?
Who are you?
Is it all right to tell him?
Fine by me. That's what I came here for.
This is Mr. Akabayashi. He's a higher-up in the Awakusu Group.
Awakusu Group...
Oh, you know.
Do you understand what it means for a guy like me to come to a place like this?
Have the Dollars... caused you any trouble?
No... Well, not sure if you'd call it trouble.
I don't know about the old dudes in my line of work,
but I'd like to avoid roughing up civilians.
Right.
So which would you prefer?
To be crushed by us, or to become our allies?
We have no intention of causing you any trouble.
It's just that...
All we want is a place where we belong!
A place where you belong, huh?
There should be plenty of places for you on the "outside," right?
Well, this is just a warning today, all right?
Just as long as you realize that old dudes like me are starting to get wise to you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Right, right, humility is a good thing.
Seriously, if only you'd just leave the Dollars while you're at it, it would make everyone happy.
Not to mention, if your parents found out you're the boss of the Dollars, they'd be in despair.
And also, remember? That girl you're close to? What was her name again?
That girl with the glasses...
Anri has nothing to do with this!
It's blatantly obvious that she's important to you.
At least put on a poker face.
Anyway, did you know that I've been a member of the Dollars for about six months?
Well... As for you, Headless Rider, we'll have a nice chat some other time.
Understood.
But Mikado's not the kind of moron who'd get on your bad side.
I hope that's true.
That's what I believe.
So now I'm going to make a request as a member of the Dollars.
A friend of mine is in a tough spot, and it has to do with the Dollars.
Hey, Niekawa! You can come out now!
Niekawa?
What, this mild-looking kid? For real?
Yeah, he's at least the closest thing to a leader in the Dollars right now.
You're Mr. Niekawa of the Tokyo Warrior, aren't you?
Wait... Huh? The Headless Rider?
What are you doing here? Are you friends with Mr. Akabayashi?
No, no, no, I'm not here for an interview today.
Um... Is this person also a friend of yours, Celty?
No, uh, he just interviewed me a while back about Shiz—
Please! My runaway daughter who I'm told is in the Dollars...
Haruna! Can you find her for me?
Okay? Please!
It's been too long, huh?
You miserable otaku bastard... Huh?
Could that be you, Mr. Izumii?
The bastard who burned my face is still calling me "Mister," then?
So happy... I'm so happy I could die. Hey!
There's just one thing I'd like to confirm first.
Huh?
Was it you who ran over Kyohei, Mr. Izumii?
Now that you mention it, that traitor was in a hit-and-run and wound up in the hospital, huh?
You idiot!
Okay, question for you!
After I murder you, whose head am I gonna smash?
Here's an easy hint.
It's the guy that's in the hospital right now!
Y-You bastard...
You've got something up your sleeve again, don't you?
Well, well, well, I feel like I should apologize, Mr. Izumii.
Since I'm into fire, even though I don't wear red.
When you think about it, if you were the one who hit Kyohei,
you would've made off with the corpse, right?
Damn straight!
I would've gone to bury him in the mountains - that's a no-brainer!
Hey, my bad. I apologize for suspecting you,
but if you're planning to attack the hospital next, I can't afford to get wasted here.
Fine, bring it on!
If you think you can do anything to me with that!
I wish you'd tack on
a "First, I'm going to destroy that fantasy," to the end of that, you know?
Huh?
Yes. Thank you for your hard work.
Yes. Yes, understood.
I'll be right there.
You really lucked out, otaku bastard.
I'm gonna let you live for another few days.
Both you and Kadota!
Just walking around is inefficient, and I could get targeted like I was just now.
I should find somewhere to hide for now.
I know! Looks like I'll need to look for a hideout!
Urgent - Looking for a runaway girl
The moment she saw the name Haruna Niekawa, she was overcome by uncontrollable anxiety.
That because of her, those dear to her could get dragged into her predicament.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I just had to let you know what's going on with me now...
How long has it been? Since we talked, just the two of us, like this?
I have to say, whenever I talk to you, I get this mysterious feeling.
You know... like I'm the main character in a movie.
That's not why you can't tell the difference between reality and fiction now, is it?
...reality and fiction...
What are you trying to say?
Anri was talking about you the other day.
She said that you've been strangely cheerful lately.
I see... I guess that might be true.
I mean, right now, it's fun to be alive.
Because I have a purpose now. Or I've found what it is I want to do.
Till now, I think I was only going with the flow around me.
But I realized I couldn't go on like that...
And that's why you're purging the Dollars?
How much do you know?
It's not such a big deal.
I want the Dollars to be like they were before.
That's all that I want to do.
What good would it do to drive out those troublemakers with violence?
They're just going to do the same stuff behind everyone's back.
Violence isn't going to solve anything, you know.
Celty, I don't think that what I'm doing is right.
Founding the Dollars wasn't right in the eyes of society either, was it?
Have you heard the rumors about the Yellow Scarves getting back together?
I've heard the rumors.
I hear that he's calling on his former members.
You already know, don't you? That Masaomi is targeting you...
Please pretend that I haven't realized that.
That, and the fact that I'm the founder of the Dollars,
and also Anri's secret.
I'm sure you know everything, Celty,
but Anri and I made a promise.
That we would talk about that when all three of us are together again.
Even so, what are you going to do if the Yellow Scarves come after the Dollars?
Then of course, we'll fight.
I sent Aoba and the others to attack the Yellow Scarves, as we speak.
Now, then, I wonder how much fealty he's pledged to Masaomi Kida?
If we're gonna torture him into giving it up, wouldn't it be faster to tail him?
If he doesn't give it up, that's fine.
This is a declaration of war, so we just have to make an example of him.
What are you talking about? Get a hold of yourself!
Oh, please, Celty, I'm totally sane.
No, you're crazy!
What is it? Do you think the Yellow Scarves are being manipulated by some bad guy like before?
No matter how you look at it, it's you this time, isn't it?
Do you really believe Aoba's that trustworthy?
It's not a matter of trust or anything.
In return for Aoba using me, I'm using Aoba. That's all.
Celty, even you can't know what Masaomi, Anri, and I...
What the three of us have between us, can you?
Don't brush me off with that middle school crap!
The thread that binds Masaomi and me is so snarled now I don't think either of us can untangle it.
In that case...
All we can do is burn the thread and start from scratch, right?
Is that really true, Mikado?
I don't know what it is that Aoba's trying to make you do.
If you say you can't help me, then that's it.
But... If you could at least stand aside and look the other way, that would really help.
If you come with us without making a fuss, you might not get yourself too hurt.
Why are you coming out already?
The Leader totally saw this coming.
Oh, crap...
Hey, wake up! It's an emergency!
I see, so they got away.
Guess it can't be helped. Anyway, what about our wounded?
Right. Don't overdo it now.
So they came after all. Was that Kuronuma acting on his own?
No, it might've been on Mikado's orders.
Oh, but that'd be because he doesn't know you're our boss, right, Leader?
Even if he knows, he might come to destroy us.
But I know about Mikado, and I'm still going after the Dollars, so it's mutual.
Wait for me, Mikado...
If you're stuck so deep somewhere that you can never dig yourself out of on your own,
then I'll chase you down to the same depths.
Even if I have to ask that bastard for help.
Come to think of it, do we still not know Izaya Orihara's whereabouts?
My deepest apologies, sir.
After we made contact with Namie Yagiri yesterday,
he seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.
Well, he's bound to fall into our net eventually.
Also, it's about time to activate Shijima.
What?
How unusual for my phone to ring, rather than yours.
Hey, it's been a while. Mr. Jinnai Yodogiri.
Who is this?
Whoa, so you're not the Mr. Yodogiri who stabbed me before?
Then allow me to introduce myself again.
I'm Izaya Orihara, a tightfisted information broker operating in Ikebukuro. OK?
Well, well, what a surprise! I was just talking about you!
Let me get straight to the point. Where is Namie Yagiri?
Since I came up with nothing after digging into Yagiri Pharmaceuticals,
I wondered if she might be visiting you.
Well, I don't know what to say.
Even if it were so, am I really obligated to inform you?
You aren't, actually.
Then listen, if you don't want to tell me, would you mind taking a nap just for a while?
What do you mean by—
Hello? What's going on?
President Yodogiri, No. 8 has been injured.
I'm requesting that you take his place, No. 5.
Injured? What in the world—
Jinnai Yodogiri
Izaya Orihara
Hey, Ms. Kujiragi. Your boss doesn't seem to want to tell me where Namie is,
but I thought you wouldn't mind.
I'm deeply sorry, but I'm not authorized to answer you on my own.
That isn't true, is it now?
I'm sure your sole discretion has a higher priority than anything else.
The discretion of the leader of a group called Jinnai Yodogiri, that is.
Who told you such a thing?
No one in particular.
After investigating the situation from various angles, that was the only conclusion I could reach, that's all.
In the first place, Kujiragi isn't your real name, is it?
Most likely, you killed the real Kujiragi and assumed her identity, right?
I did not kill to take it for myself. It was by mutual consent.
Well, anyway, here I am, unaware of your real name.
So, hoping to expose everything around you, I had those poor old decoy geezers make their exit.
Now that I think of it, you were the one who assumed my chat name, wasn't it?
Why do you end everything with "meows?" Out of spite?
It was cute, wasn't it?
So, do you feel inclined to tell me where Namie is?
Such a proud woman...
the moment she realizes that she's been rescued by me, someone she normally dislikes...
I'd be interested to see the look on her face.
I wouldn't call that good taste.
I didn't expect that from a woman who does everything from human trafficking to monster trafficking.
But it certainly is ironic.
To think that Saika, which you sold to Shingen Kishitani, has become your enemy after all that bouncing around.
Do you know why I let such so much power go so easily?
Aside from slashing humans to increase its offspring, Saika has another method of reproduction.
I call it simply "dissection."
You break Saika, and reforge those fragments as swords.
That's all there is to it.
Mother... I've captured Izaya.
Please bring him to No. 12's office.
I must question him about the Dullahan's head.
Understood.
Thank you very much, Mr. Izaya Orihara.
I am grateful to you for destroying the organization called Jinnai Yodogiri.
I'm thankful for freedom.
After living for centuries, not being able to talk sense into one child is pathetic.
Oh, my, Celty! Are you home now?
Oh, Emilia, I just got back—
Why do you have so much?
Today's the day we all have a party!
I'm going to do my utmost, full speed ahead! Please, behold!
We're home!
Nice to meet you.
Who's that?
Celty! Welcome home!
Hey, I really missed you!
When there's a whole crowd around you, it really makes the loneliness worse.
You're the best after all, Celty!
What on earth is going on? Why is everybody here?
Well, actually...
Whether by fate, or conspiracy... Unable to resist, people were brought together.
For some reason, in this room.
Thank you for watching!
