TIMELINE OF THE DURARARA!! SERIES (VOLUMES 1 THROUGH 6)

According to Narita, Mikado was originally meant to start high school in the year 2004. However, as the series progressed, its timeline diverged from that of the real-world. For convenience's sake, the year 2004 will still be referred to as "year zero" in this timeline.

Anni, you're my hero :d

This is so satisfying, aaah.
I second the "hero" comment! Thanks again.

...oh boy. THANK YOU. It clears up so many things I wanted to ask you about! You're the best. I mean, really.

You can't believe how many times I laughed and raged while reading this timeline. And it just confirms that Izaya is a Successful Evil Overlord, goddamn. Well, I still can't help it but adore him, though. He reminds me of Johan from Monster... kind of.

Wow, there are many more ties to Baccano! than I thought. Is Shizuo really *THAT* strong to beat up Nile? As far as I know he's one of the most powerful characters in Baccano novels. Hell, he's an immortal!

Poor Anri, I feel sorry for her. :( For Saki as well, she's such a pretty and cute girl.
I'm wondering what's up with that Ruri girl. Two dullahans... frankly speaking, I don't think I like this idea.
It'd be nice to see more of Tom Tanaka. I know absolutely nothing about his personality per se, but his chara design makes him somewhat... likeable.

Izaya masters parkour mainly for the purpose of running from Shizuo ( ... )

I'd say at that point Izaya is almost sure, being Izaya and everything...and yes, pissed Shizuo>Nile. Nile should learn his lesson and at least try to speak some Japanese.:) And Tom is a cool character. I like how he's like a human barometer for Shizuo's temper - if Tom retreats away from Shizuo, you know Shizuo's gonna lose it in seconds.

So Tanaka is this type of a guy, just as I thought. It's really nice.

Yay for update~ and yay for badass Mikado. I've been wondering what exactly is he doing in this scene with Namie (because that one famous picture from the novel? It is way too cool) and huh, he ordered them just to... stare. intense. And simply brilliant.

Well until he gets into some ballpoint pen action in Vol.6 that is
Damn, so we won't see it in anime. :( and I was already so much into badass Mikado with his badass ballpoint pen doing badass... what exactly is he doing? Hand stabbing?

I'm so happy to see that Celty and Shinra get together.

Leloude mistakenly takes Shizuo's desire to be Izaya and is beaten up badly after she approaches Shizuo in the form of Izaya.
......... fail. The biggest fail ever.

The ballpoint pen: he stabs it into Kuronuma Aoba's hand. Lets the blood drip onto a blank piece of paper which Aoba thought was a gentlemen's agreement he simply had to sign.

Aoba is basically a teenage version of Izaya by the way.

Thank you your worshipfullness...I'm just curious how far the "romance" goes in this series and how much descriptive the author gets.

I wonder if getting ones neck sliced with Saika is what makes one into a Dullahan....or maybe Certy's an immortal like the others?

anonymous January 29 2010, 22:34:15 UTC

I mean the characters in Baccano...sorry that came out wrong.

anni_fiesta January 29 2010, 23:52:16 UTC

As far as romance goes Narita has explicitly called the first volume a story of twisted romances, which I think mostly refers to the Namie/Seiji/Mika triangle, Seiji>>Celty's head, Shinra>>Celty, and maybe Izaya>>humans...

Ep. 4 of the anime seems to suggest that a dullahan carries her head around. But then it's hard to explain how stealing her head would involve any cutting.

anonymous January 30 2010, 01:54:14 UTC

Izaya/humans, you mean he'll sleep with anyone?

>Shizuo defeats Nile from Baccano
How did this happen? WHY did this happen?

Yeah, I know Nile is the battle-crazy Immortal by the 2000's and is willing to fight even Maiza for no reason. But wasn't Nile the guy who could kill a whole village pointing guns at him (Who knew the best way to take down Immortals at that)?

anni_fiesta January 29 2010, 23:57:49 UTC

That we'll have to ask Narita.
