「カメラと包子と野良猫と」 (Kamera to Paozu to Naraneko to)
“A Camera, Baozi, and a Stray Cat”
I wasn’t expecting anything on the more lighthearted side in this series, but watching Aoi and Kazura’s contrasting personalities try to work together proved to be just that.

「マゼランを止めろ！イワさん奥義炸裂」 (Mazeran o Tomero! Iwa-san Ōgi Sakuretsu)
“Stop Magellan! Ivan-san Unleashes His Secret Attack”
The clock’s ticking with only four hours left until Ace’s execution.

「ワルプルギスの夜」 (Warupurugisu no Yoru)
“Walpurgis Night”
As this was primarily a setup episode for Yuki’s transition into the world of the Giou clan and their battle with the Duras, one of my personal highlights was the Tooko scene with Inoue Marina bringing all the cuteness when Yuki addressed her distantly with honorifics.

「4 BRIDGE」
Kamiya Hiroshi is reunited with Saitou Chiwa in another SHAFT production since Bakemonogatari, but he’s not getting any loving this time as the little orphan girl from Great Britain absolutely destroys Riku in a one-on-one “play fight” and makes him her new underling.

「#04」
The match between East Tokyo United and Tokyo Victory is on and it’s a good one as we get a taste of Tatsumi’s giant killing abilities.

「相馬、さわやかすぎる青年」 (Souma, Sawayaka Sugiru Shounen)
“Souma, An Overly Refreshing Guy”
As much as this episode was about Hiroomi and how he’s a sly blackmailing machine underneath his cheery facade, some light was shed on the likely cause of Souta’s mini complex — his four sisters.

「烈火の先に」 (Rekka no Saki ni)
“Before the Conflagration”
Continuing off from the good cliffhanger last time, we learn that one of the two characters is indeed Envy masquerading in disguise.

「独房は楽しい？」 (Dokubou wa Tanoshii?)
“Is Isolation Fun?”
Liladan or not, I really don’t know what to say about one girl offering to let another naked girl use her mouth as a personal urinal other than, “Hoooly shit.”

「Day Game」
With Yui as the supposed new lead vocalist for Girls Dead Monster and a revamped opening sequence to showcase her abilities, it was pretty amusing to see her strangle herself to death following the performance.

「愚者一得」 (Gusha Ittoku)
“Even a Fool Has Merits”
One of the unique aspects of Durarara’s screenplay is how it tends to go back and revisit parts of the story from a different perspective.
