These low-quality, poorly stitched together scans do not do justice to the amazingly gorgeous photographs contained in this issue. It’s also huge and completely NOT scanner friendly. This is also only a fraction of the photos as well, so if you buy only one butai magazine, let this one be it!

Hi! I just wanna say that your blog is my favourite on tumblr and I’m wondering what you hope to see happen or change between these two characters (Izaya and Shizuo) Do you think they could take care of Haruto and Himari together?

Hi!!

First of all thank you so much!

I haven’t read Durarara!! SH yet, but I can still answer the question based off of my own speculation after the ending of Ketsu: 

1. Regardless of what I hope to see or change between Shizuo and Izaya, I genuinely do believe that they will meet again and something WILL change between them. My reasons are so: 

✰

 ❝In a magazine interview (Spoon 2Di vol.11) of “Durarara!!”, Ono said the meaning of Shizuo’s life is probably chasing after Izaya. ❞ 

Source, Ono Daisuke is Shizuo’s voice actor. 

✰ 

❝“Izaya-san, one last thing.”

“…What is it?”

“One day, for sure, I will let you have a reunion with brother and Shizuo-san again!”

After a moment of silence, he laughed as he gave his strange but sincere reply.

“…If you think you can do it, feel free to try. At that time, I will use my full effort to run away from you.”❞ 

This is a conversation between Izaya and some little girl…? I’m 86% sure it’s from SH and the picture from the manga is in the Source, so maybe you could recognize her? I remember reading about this scene from someone’s tumblr a looong time ago but I can’t remember the context. 

✰ Just the fact that Shizuo has been actually thinking about and asking about Izaya at least a year that he’s been gone. (I don’t have the quotes for this momentarily but when I find it I will post it ;) ) I know it’s also from SH as I read it from another tumblr blog. Shizuo was asking about Izaya, and if I’m not mistaken, he even wondered how things could have been if they had gotten along, so yes, there is definitely a willing potential from at least Shizuo’s side for a new beginning between the too. 

2. Now, for what I do hope to see are a lot of things, but for one I think it’s so exciting that Izaya canonically doesn’t view Shizuo as a monster anymore: 

❝Up until now, I would flashily skip about and run away despite my meddling while saying I love humans. Well, the monster…no, that seems deceiving. I got caught by the man who distanced himself from humans, and ended up like this.❞  – Izaya Orihara from A Sunset w/ Izaya Orihara, Chapter 3 B, Source

The MOST exciting piece of evidence for me that I literally cannot stop fangirling over is Izaya’s newest Character Song Katte ni Shiyagare (Whatever You Like). It’s literally a love confession. No joke, like I’m not just interpreting through a Tsundere lens or making a stretch because Ketsu finale kinda completely murdered me and I need some Shizaya-positivity. Here are the lyrics that stand out the most: 

Looks like you’re leaving me after allIt wasn’t all bad things, you say, gathering up your memories

Saying “goodbye” may be somewhat of a wet blanketMaybe I’ll send you off simply, with a “later”  ///( “Sayonara” and “Abayo” which mean “goodbye” and “later” are the exact words that Shizuo and Izaya say to each other before their death match ;-; )

It wasn’t like I flirted and played around and gave you troubleIt was just that I was a little embarrassed of this thing called love

Song Source

Lyric Source

Yes, I know that this character song wasn’t written originally for Izaya, the song existed before, but that’s actually even better. This bitter-sweet romantic song was chosen specifically for Izaya to be his Drr X2 character song, and the lyrics about saying goodbye are the actual dialogue between Izaya and Shizuo! 

(and can I just say that listening to Hiroshi Kamiya singing this with so much emotion is the most perfect thing ever!!

I was hoping to see a more vulnerable Izaya who is willing to open up/face Shizuo (and I found out that we do, based off of the quote from Izaya’s Sunset book Chapt 3B), because at this point his whole campaign and tireless efforts to frame Shizuo as a monster have completely failed. It’s over and he knows it. Even he couldn’t make Shizuo a murderer and he accepts that Shizuo is human, so… could that mean they have a “fresh” start to explore a relationship (of any kind)? 

A great theory that I’ve read before (from Zephyrsus I think) and that I agree with myself is that Izaya felt feelings for Shizuo, and the thought absolutely terrified him. I mean, Izaya, the guy who puts himself in control constantly to protect himself is now facing one of the most human emotions ever, and it’s a very scary and vulnerable place to be. He can’t exactly allow himself to accept Shizuo as a human because then he would have to “love” him all the other humans, and I think that Izaya wasn’t comfortable with having to deal with this special kind of “love” for Shizuo to himself. Shizuo stood out to Izaya in many more ways than one, so I guess he decided to prove to himself that Shizuo was a monster in order to not have to deal with these unwanted feelings that were sprouting. I mean maybe it started off with pure physical attraction, but those are still vulnerable emotions, and it still makes Izaya a human with something to lose. At the very end of Ketsu, also right before the death match, Shinra says something to the girl with the side-ponytail who tried to kill Izaya at the hospital (I forget names) about Izaya being one of the most human people he knows, and how Izaya is actually very emotionally vulnerable and etc. UPDATE: I found the quote: “He might seem cold-blooded, but he’s more human and his heart more brittle than anyone else. So much so that if you filled it with human love or betrayal, it’d break easily.”

So to formally answer your second question, I did a brief background research on the two kids so now I’m a bit more prepared haha. I can see Shizuo and Izaya taking care of Haruto and Harumi together but it would be a slow transition at first. Since Izaya has already taken them under his wing, if Shizuo were to get in the picture he might do it more as means of protecting these kids himself and maybe leveling out the influence between him and Izaya, because while I do see the willingness and potential for a new start between both of them, it’s obviously going to be a slow and delicate process. But in fact, both Shizuo and Izaya taking care of these kids– even kind of separately at first– would be so great for the two men to come closer together. It would be like a perfect bridge for developing a better relationship, and also, we’ve seen how good Shizuo is with kids from his arc with Akane. And additionally, I believe that Shizuo would be very willing on his own part to take care of Haruto and Harumi because even without Izaya, he’s always been at odds with his self and his insecurities/fear of his immense strength and the “monster” persona, so getting closer to these kids would definitely give him a positive sense of purpose and happy change to his life. 

Thank you so much for your ask! I hope you enjoyed this, and if you have any more questions or requests regarding what I wrote or anything else Shizaya, I’d be more than happy to reply!

There’s a Boueibu LOVE! FINAL! event report on spoon.2Di vol. 36 (release: today, i.e. the 30th of March) and an interview with the Happy Kiss Defence Club’s voice actors as well as the previously mentioned pinup of the Happy Kiss boys. The covers of the magazine have Mob Psycho 100 and Zoku Touken Ranbu Hanamaru on them, so look out for them if you’re buying a copy. (Also, if you’re missing Masuda, you can find a 12 page feature with him and Mitsuhiro Ichiki, plus a B2 poster, for Zoku Touken Hanamaru in this edition of spoon.2Di as well.)

It’s Friday, so here’s Hayama with his illustrations and insight into Happy Kiss episode 1 for today’s Hapikome.

Hello! I am trying desperately to save money for college (starting this fall!), and so I’m selling a massive amount of my stuff. The PASH illustration file is only missing one poster, and contains full-page art from K project, Free!, Magi, and more. The Spoon magazines cover a lot of ground, from behind the scenes animation and production work to interviews with voice and stage adaptation actors. They’re all in Japanese, but even if you’re not fluent (I’m sure not) its cool to see all the concept sketches and stuff. All magazines are in fairly decent condition, although some are a bit battered on the outside, which is why I’m selling them for a lot less than I bought them for.

If you’re interested, please message me or check out my listings on ebay!
