Durarara who is the leader of the dollars

Shiri leads her out the back of the Orb Ikebukuro Building, Kaztano helps her make a clean exit and closes the gate behind her, Ryo Takiguchi slows down Horada by knocking store boxes down to impede his path, Rabi-san gives Anri his rabbit costume so she can escape unseen, and Simon Brezhnev intimidates her pursuers.

When she has safely gotten away, the Dollars members feel a renewed hope in the group. Anri is caught by Horada and his followers later that night. This time, Shizuo Heiwajima unintentionally comes to her rescue, attacking Horada on sight for his earlier provocation of Celty.

The members are vocally against this idea and call the admin irresponsible. The Yellow Scarves commit another attack on the Dollars late that night, this time shooting Shizuo and leaving him to bleed out in the street in the rain, and pinning the attack on the orders of their boss, Masaomi Kida.

Later that night, about thirty Dollars members, led by Kyouhei, infiltrate the Yellow Scarves meeting and blend in with the sea of yellow. During Horada's coup, they save Masaomi and defeat the former Blue Squares members. With information from Shizuo, Celty and Anri join the commotion. When the three best friends and leaders of the three factions have had a chance to reconcile, Mikado reopens the Dollars webpage.

One month later, a motorcycle gang from Saitama called the Toramaru appears in Ikebukuro and picks a fight with Shizuo. He uses their bikes as weapons and hospitalizes them all. At some point in April, between the fourth and fifth light novels, Aoba Kuronuma and the Blue Squares go to Saitama and attack members of the Toramaru in the name of the Dollars. In response to their actions, Chikage Rokujou and the Toramaru have come to exact revenge on the Dollars, and they attack random members for information on their leader.

Chikage targets Shizuo himself for revenge on his hospitalized friends and ends up badly beaten, but during the fight he earns Shizuo's respect and is brought to Shinra Kishitani to be patched up. The gang leader challenges Kyouhei to a one-on-one fight the next day after learning of his strong position in the gang, though Kyouhei himself is unaware of his own reputation.

Chikage narrowly loses their fight, but when confronted by a group of rogue Dollars members who have kidnapped Chikage's girlfriend Non and her friends, attempting to use them as leverage against the Toramaru, the van and motorcycle gangs team up. The group of rogue Dollars members is ultimately defeated by Shizuo, but the situation, along with Shizuo's defection, teaches Mikado that the Dollars have grown into something outside of his control.

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. AstroTurf : In-universe example: During the formative days of the Dollars, the founders pose as different people to spread the word about the group. Mikado even mentions posting as multiple people on the Dollars' own website to pad the member count. Things ultimately take on a life of their own once Izaya starts spreading the password , however.

Awakening the Sleeping Giant : When the Blue Squares get utterly dominated by Mikado , they wonder if Izaya has any idea the asskicking he's unleashed. Badass Army : The Yellow Scarves when competently led.

The Dollars are mostly composed of Guile Heroes , but they have enough muscle and achieve enough awesome to qualify. Badass Pacifist : Simon. Also, many members of the Dollars prefer Guile Hero tactics i. Bait-and-Switch Credits : The anime's second opening implies that Kasuka and Kinnosuke get a lot more screentime than the ever do. They do end up getting due focus in the later novels, but those weren't animated Seemingly averted in X2 since it covers the chapters where they do get their focus, especially Kasuka.

Chikage : Not that I don't enjoy a good Cat Fight between girls every now and then I'd suggest you go with mud wrestling. Akabayashi Aozaki-san, what kind of era do you think you're living in? Masaomi : Who knows? Anything and everything can happen in this town.

Orders - Anyone not looking at their cell right now is an an enemy. Don't attack them. Just watch quietly. Darker and Edgier : As the novel goes on, the plot gets darker and more serious.

The injuries some characters sustain is just jarring in comparison to the anime. The second season of the anime decides not to slouch on this as blood, broken bones, scars from fire, and smashed faces frequently show up. Just compare how eclectic and sometimes upbeat the two first volumes of the soundtrack "Psychedelic Dreams" and the Shou OST are and then take a look on how tense and angsty became the music in the Ten soundtrack.

Day in the Limelight : Episode 6 for Kadota and his gang. D-Cup Distress : Not played for laughs. Anri's big breasts, combined with her borderline depersonalization disorder and general meekness have made her a frequent target of sexual harassment which she is too ashamed and socially awkward to talk about to anyone.

She also has a hard time buttoning her pajamas. Deadly Closing Credits : Volume six ends with Izaya being stabbed by a rival and passing out before he can contact anyone for help. He lives, thanks to someone noticing the bleeding man on the street and calling the paramedics, but relying on formal medical care comes at a cost—his stabbing was reported on the news, which gave out both his name and the hospital he was recuperating at.

Now any of his many, many enemies could watch that broadcast and head over to finish him off. He starts going a little stir crazy when this realization dawns on him. It happens to him again in Volume ten. At this point, we have no idea if he is dead, alive, or possessed by Saika.

Also, Kadota was rendered unconscious, and the other members are noticeably and perhaps murderously upset Defeat Means Friendship : Kadota and Chikage; though they were already sort of friendly before and while beating each other up, everyone mentions this trope when talking about their face-off. Gin : Give me more time, I'll pay it back! Say, you're pretty handsome. You look just like that actor Um, Yuuhei Hanejima!

That's it! Shizuo Gin : Er, my mistake. You don't look like that asshole at all. Kida : Get it? Mikado : The fact that you had to explain the joke just shows how lame it was. Celty : Even those two, who look like people you'd see anywhere on an ordinary day, have secrets. Izaya : How was it? Gave you quite the adrenaline shot, didn't it?

Did you and Celty just grow to love each other even more due to the misattribution of arousal? Shinra : Ah hah hah. Go dive chest-first in a clay ice shaver, Izaya. Erika : Before their eyes stood, in her black dress and surrounded by black roses, the Queen—Erika Beatrice Karisawa, heiress of the Karisawa Corporation! Kadota fell in love with her at first sight Erika : But one day, Kadota realized that he was not his real self, and his feelings for the heiress was unadulterated respect rather than love!

And then Dotachin came to his senses. He realized that the only source of comfort for him was his one and true rival, Walker! As a result, the Yellow Scarves begin attacking almost anyone on the streets since the Dollars have no color , brutally beating them and leaving their tag. The Dollars take their first casualty when Ryo Takiguchi, who Mikado knows personally, is hospitalized after being assaulted by the older members of the Yellow Scarves. Members of the Dollars begin to withdraw and become impatient, wondering why the leader has decided to sit back, some even deciding to take their own actions.

The Dollars decided that they weren't going to sit back and let this happen. Members within the area began aiding Anri in any way they could. Shiri helped by leading her out the back of the Orb Ikebukuro Building. Kazutano made sure she got out the exit, closing the gate behind her. Ryo Takiguchi slowed down Horada, knocking a couple of boxes on him in a store. The Bunny Suited Man gave his costume to Anri in order for her to escape unseen. Simon Brezhnev intimidated pursuing Yellow Scarves.

The same Raira student was caught again by Horada and the Yellow Scarves later that same night. This time it was Shizuo Heiwajima who unintentionally came to her rescue, attacking Horada on sight.

This resulted in the Dollars leader, Mikado Ryuugamine disbanding the gang, stating "The Dollars will disappear. Aoba whispers in his heart that both he and Izaya had underestimated Mikado and mentions that he has "Far from shown his true character. Mikado plays a minor role in this arc, only seen when he came across with Seiji and Mika. After noticing how badly injured he was, Seiji apologized to him about what had happened in the Dollars incident, but Mikado claimed that it was actually the Dollars fault and, since both of them are members, there's no need to worry about it.

Right before they parted away, Mika warned Mikado about not hurting Anri, which surprised him. Then, Seiji commented that it was strange for Mikado to talk so freely about the Dollars. Mikado realizes that, while there are idealists like Kyouhei and his group in the Dollars, there are several others thugs, gangs, etc.

Mikado decides to perform a "cleansing" where he chases down those specific groups that are dragging down the name of the Dollars and "expelling" them from the gang i. He even starts an "invitation only" section of the website for people who he feels he can use for this purpose. After several members were banned, Mikado got a word of another rogue member by the name of Kisuke Adabashi who burned down Ruri Hijiribe's house under the orders of Jinnai Yodogiri.

Mikado, Aoba, and the Blue Squares searched for information on him and they warned Celty, saying that Shinra might be in danger because he was caught on camera several months ago leaving Kasuka's apartment just before Ruri and Kasuka were revealed as a couple and that Adabashi has been targeting those who may be connected to Ruri. This information arrived far too late as Celty found a bloody and beaten Shinra on the floor of their apartment.

Finally managing to corner Adabashi and his followers, Mikado and the Blue Squares confront them about what they've done. Adabashi attacks Mikado, severely injuring him. However, Masaomi arrives in time to save Mikado from getting killed. Before they could exchange greetings, Mikado pours gasoline on Adabashi as he tries to get up.

Mikado then calmly lights Adabashi on fire, causing the stalker to run out of the building they were in and into Tokyo Bay. While Masaomi is shocked at Mikado's behavior, Mikado continues to remain eerily calm. He then tells Masaomi that they "shouldn't meet yet", as he is "Still creating a place where Masaomi and Sonohara-san can return.

Masaomi and Anri get worried by Mikado's recent behavior, therefore Masaomi tried to private chat with Mikado, who refused, then left the chatroom. In the beginning of the arc Mikado is holding a meeting for the Blue Squares with Aoba. He starts looking at the news for the Dollars in front of everyone and sees that a lot of Dollars members are having a huge dispute over Kadota's accident.

Mikado is disturbed by the news. Later he finds out that Shizuo has been arrested and put in police custody. Mikado is glad that Shizuo was arrested right after he quit Dollars. Akabayashi entered the room and asked Mikado if he would join the conversation. Then Aoba told Mikado that Celty was nearby and Celty was nearby the entire time the meeting took place. Mikado was very surprised since he hasn't seen Celty for a long time, and wondered how Aoba had made contact with her.

When Celty asks Mikado about his injuries he replies that the 'bad people' did it. While Celty kept on asking him questions Akabayashi entered the room and asked Mikado if he would join the conversation. Mikado is scared at first and then calms down.

Akabayashi asks Mikado if he wants to be allies with the Yakuza. Mikado accepts after a couple of minutes of talking. Then Shuuji walks in and asks Mikado if he could help him find Haruna. Later, Mikado talks with Celty. When Celty asks him what he was going to do with the Yellow Scarves, Mikado replies that he is going to start an all out war.

Celty is surprised at the news and tries to to stop Mikado. After meeting Shijima and seeing Celty's head on the news, Mikado calls Izaya to test how much the information broker is involved. They also discuss Mikado's recent actions, and Izaya warns Mikado that it is his last chance to step out of 'this world' now that Akabayashi knows Mikado's identity.

Mikado asks if Izaya is the one who told Akabayashi his identity and Izaya denies this, though Mikado correctly deduces that Izaya is the one who told Masaomi of his status. However, he actually expresses gratitude for Izaya telling Masaomi because it pushed him to take more responsibility for Dollars. Mikado confesses that his goal is to bring Dollars back to the way it was during the initial meeting he called, and he will destroy all the 'unnecessary things' including the Yellow Scarves and even himself.

Izaya is overjoyed at the proclamation because he feels that Mikado is expressing the epitome of humanity, surprised by Mikado's actions, but highly satisfied with them. Mikado further surprises Izaya by revealing that he knows about Izaya's past with the Yellow Scarves and Blue Squares, but he's willing to let it slide for the moment and let Kida resolve it with Izaya.

He expresses that he would be happy if Izaya would be on his side in the ensuing conflict but knows it might not be possible. Mikado is visited at the Blue Squares hideout by Ran Izumii. After Mikado requests to be left alone with Ran to discuss, Mikado demands Ran to leave the Dollars, stating people like him are not wanted.

Ran, following orders from the Awakusu Group, gives Mikado a gun. Mikado's plan reaches its climax when he confronts Masaomi on the rooftop of Tokyo Hands, near where the original offline Dollars meeting took place.

Mikado explains his desire to turn Dollars into an urban legend so that it will constantly be changing and evolving. Masaomi argues with him in an attempt to reach his best friend. As their argument continues it is revealed that Mikado is in possession of two guns, one of which he has already fired at Dougen Awakusu's home. Another gun is fired at the police station in the name of the Dollars, making them the most wanted gang above and below ground in Ikebukuro.

Mikado threatens Masaomi with the gun, noting that he doesn't know how to aim and isn't sure what he will hit.

Masaomi fights to get the gun away from Mikado. It ends with Mikado shooting Masaomi in the knee. While Masaomi is on the ground, Mikado loses his grip on sanity. He launches into a long rant, shouting about how he would likely shoot anyone or do anything to achieve his goals and that this makes him unnecessary.

He comes to the conclusion to shoot himself, and that this will provide himself with the opportunity to see the other side. He pulls the trigger but right before the bullet could hit his skull Celty's shadows stop it, saving Mikado's life.

Mikado seemingly comes to his senses and Masaomi forgives him for everything, taking him from the Tokyo Hands building. At this point they meet up with Anri. As the friends are leaving the scene, Nasujima, a teacher from their school who is currently controlled by Haruna's Saika, comes to attack Anri. Mikado throws himself in the way of the blade, taking the hit for her, and ends up in the hospital. Mikado's parents show up to make sure he's alright. Anri and Masaomi make up the story that Mikado was hurt by a branch during a camping trip.

Mikado's parents apologize that their son has caused them trouble and ask them to take care of Mikado before leaving. Mikado is revealed to have been held back a year due to his hospitalization period after the incident at the end of the original series. After watching Yahiro leave the school grounds from the third-floor window, he remembers Masaomi and Anri's faces along with his days spent with them walking the streets of Ikebukuro.

He then chuckles, and—turning his back to the window, simply welcomes Yahiro to Ikebukuro and wishes him luck. It is revealed that he has become a Saika child after being stabbed by Nasujima in the previous series, but the curse has faded over time and has little influence over him. He can use his ability to control the curse to see if there are other nearby Saika children.

He is also dating Anri now. Wiki Explore. Female Male. Human Non-human Superhuman. Manga Volumes Manga Chapters. Best- OST Vol. DuraraLovers in Nakano Durarara Lounge!! Stage Play. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account?
