I just finished episode 7 of Shou, and Izaya's phone call to Mikado is very interesting to me. He initially calls to antagonize Mikado, or at least it seems like it with how he criticized Mikado's response to the Dollars going off the rails again and his strained relationship with Masaomi.
But really, it seems more like genuine advice to me than most of the bullshit Izaya goes on about in the series. I'll be real, I personally think Izaya is more honest with Mikado than anyone else in the series. When he gives him advice, it feels a lot less manipulative than his "advice" for any other character. This is especially true compared to how he is with Masaomi. Every bit of advice Izaya ever gives Masaomi is wrapped in riddles or culminates in some sort of arm-twist to get him to do what Izaya wants. Sure, Mikado is part of Izaya's plan to awaken the head, but it seems like he has a vested interest in Mikado ultimately coming out on top. I wonder why that is? Perhaps the fact that Mikado is a direct parallel to Izaya himself within the high school trio? Izaya clearly sees himself in Mikado, and wants to support him in a way he probably didn't have when he was up-and-coming himself.
It especially comes through to me at the end of their call this episode:
"You're a good person, and that's something to be to be respected. But didn't you start the Dollars because you got bored of being respectable? An escape from the ordinary—isn't that your dream? That's why I'm worried about you. I said it before, didn't I? To enjoy an ordinary life, you have to constantly evolve. But that's definitely not something you should try to do by yourself."
Izaya ends the conversation by insisting Mikado call him by his given name, a sign of friendship and equality, and reminds him that he has lots of people in his corner—Anri, Kida, and him. It's especially notable to me that Izaya doesn't reference himself as an exclusive authority here, and even sites Masaomi (who doesn't get along with Izaya) before he references himself. If it were really a manipulative tactic to keep Mikado under his thumb, he wouldn't have suggested Mikado communicate with his friends about the problem. Hell, in the original run, Izaya's WHOLE PLAN was centered around these three NOT communicating.
What's also notable is how Mikado takes that advice. He thanks Izaya in earnest, and later reminisces how he used to think Izaya was sketchy, but he now believes he's nice.
Orihara Izaya is nice. To Ryuugamine Mikado.
I think that's kind of an important facet of Izaya's character, that he is capable of caring for others. He's just a little chosey about who in his circle actually gets that care.

I have gotten my sister (who used to hate anime) to agree to watch all of durarara with me!
I am so excited because for the first time someone is actually watching it with me!
I will be updating her thoughts on the show.
We just finished ep 1
She loves Celty and is very confused about the plot but says she’s watching for Celty.

Trying to organize my thoughts about Mikado enough to make a post about him feels like creating a stack of papers only for it to keep getting repeatedly knocked over

Here's more pix from the Durarara final arc.
PART 2 OF SHIZUO/VORONA - Season 2, Final arc, Durarara
This is continuation of my last post based on the same scene from episode 7, No Love Lost.
Vorona has just found out that Shizuo has known all along that she was the girl in the motorcycle helmet who attacked him at the Raira academy fields. And she's shocked to learn that he doesn't care. He cares for her. He wants to hear her side of the story.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's protective of her, when Yagiri orders her to kill him, because by "Shizuo Logic", asking her to kill Shizuo means Yagiri is placing her in direct danger of being killed herself. Shizuo has no fear for his own safety. But he's incensed at the thought of Vorona being placed in danger. Even if it is at the cost of his own life being possibly endangered.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As much as Vorona is aware of how strong he is... at an instinctual level, she still deems him human. Capable of being hurt. She's been internally struggling with her own motivations all this time. Does she want to hurt him? That had been her initial goal. But what about the peace she found in his presence? And she's incapable of hurting him, isn't she? Is it because he's indestructible or because she doesn't really want to see him get hurt?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then she catches sight of construction material being moved at the top of the building, right over where Shizuo is standing, and she realizes what's about to happen. It's going to fall on him, crush him. She has to save him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She pushes him out of the way. But why? If he was indestructible, why save him? If she wanted him hurt, why push him to safety?
Oh... perhaps, this was why she had been hesitant to hurt him since she got to know him. It wasn't because he's impossible to defeat. But because... she doesn't want to see him hurt.
So she will sacrifice herself for him. Yep, that makes sense to her. 🤣
There's so many layers to their interactions. I just adore these two. 😭😍😚
