Izaya_x_shizuo.jpg


I would say it's pretty epic.Give shizuo a black hair and blue eyes.

Do you guys think since new Dante looks like Izaya (kind of acts like him too from what's been seen at Captivate)
That Vergil would look like Shizuo?

So far, i've somehow imagined vergil to wear suits even on the off days so the shizuo look may work.
 
You do all realize that Izaya is the allegory for the devil in the show, right?

I don't know if anyone else sees it, but I actually think that NT Dante kind of resembles Izaya Orihara from Durarara. What with the black short hair, the long coat/hoodie. I guess that's just me. But it kind of makes me think two things;

1.) What if NT Dante's attitude is like Izaya's? (NOTE: Izaya is a total troll, and is a bit of an antagonist, but is also an anti-hero in some way, if you call "Making people do suicide" an anti-hero thing.Oh, he's also an info-broker, and a professional pakor runner, knife user, and cellphone stomper! He might make it to the pros with that cellphone-stomping!)

2.) What if Izaya from DRRR!! got a reboot to look more like the original Dante? Would people not like that idea sice many have been saying new Dante's emo? If having black hair, and wearing less colorful clothes is emo, then you're kind of calling Izaya emo, and Izaya will **** your **** up in no time flat.

So what do you guys think?

I'm sorry, but Izaya sounds like a total Gary Sue. He might as well be a cybernetic ninja dinosaur hunter. It's like the male version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. (A bi-sexual martial arts expert/hacker/top investigator/semi-genius even though she's not a private eye)

Anyone with that many skills cannot be created with any actual in-depth characterization in mind, since any of that person's flaws merely serve to make him look better (i.e. Dr. House)

Look, I'm not hating on Izaya or Dante, but Izaya seems to be "perfect" for today's cynical audience. Dante, on the other hand, has genuine flaws, has made mistakes that he's regretted, and more or less is frustrated with the way his life is going and just wants to be left alone and live his own life.

Neither one is emo, but they are comparable to each other. However, I will stress that they are only on a surface level, seeing as how Dante would go out of his way to kill anyone who has made another person's life more difficult, or has convinced them to commit suicide. This is proven when he knocks the can out of the fat guy's hand. I think he genuinely cares. If nothing else, he can serve as an anti-Izaya, if you can understand my meaning.

I'm sorry for "trolling" against Izaya. I just have something against characters who are....too...."entertaining" (in a false way) for a lack of a better word.

It's just that I've seen this in both Daisuke Nagase and Akihiko Sanada. Both are tough athletes, but are shy around girls. I know that there are plenty of athletes out there that are like this, but there's more to those individuals than those traits; whereas Daisuke and Akihiko can be more or less interchangable.

Once again, sorry for going off-topic, but a previous experience prompted me to do this. A person I know said that he was "role-playing" a character who was athletic (**snrrrrkkk**) and shy around girls.So, I called him out on it. I asked him, "So, what's his last name?" Of course, he didn't have an answer. Not surprisingly, this same person looooooves Izaya and Durarara in general.

Look, it's just that whenever I see a character like this, or like the flawed, but still lovable jerk archetypes on any medium (anime or otherwise) I start developing the worst migraines and must stop my hands from wrapping around my neck in an attempt to relieve myself of this earthly plane that allows said archetypes to exist.

EDIT: I've watched Durarara, and I didn't like Izaya. But I do see why he's at least comparable to Dante. And why Shizuo is comparable to Vergil.

EDIT 2: I actually know of someone who does have a lot of skills. He was a cop, an undercover agent, a swat team member, an author, and is now a lawyer. Yes, he is exceptionally talented, but, that being said, those skills took decades to develop. He's middle-aged leaning towards elderly now.


No, I don't know him or am related to him. No, he's not my lawyer either and no, I'm not advertizing for his firm. I couldn't afford him anyway since he's freakin' Matt Murdock.

This isn't like tv (numbe3rs, Castle, Bones, Mentalist, Lie to Me, etc.) where the person is in their late twenties and has already learned several skills. Realistically, anything like this takes close to an eternity to develop. Just letting you know.

"It's okay to be a jerk, as long as you're smart."
 
I think other than the hair color and the black coat, there are no similarities.

Mostly because Izaya's defining characteristic is that he's a manipulative and evil jerk.
Dante's seems to be that he's a snarky jerk.
 
From what I've heard about this Izaya guy, it sounds like me and him are long lost brothers or something

So you make people do suicide, only to teach them that they should live so you can use them more, and you carry knives with you while fighting bartenders?

If so, you have one crazy life.
 
I liked randomlulz post because he didn't troll my own.

However, I don't think you, or anyone else, should be like this Izaya guy. Or like his "long-lost brother", for that matter.
 
Now I like Durarara even less...

Edit: And now that this vid has totally depressed me, I must post a counter-vid, to cheer myself up.



I should do "The (totally) Durarara" vid if I'm ever able to, one day...
 
what the heck is it with this izaya fetish that you need to compare everyone to him? gosh we all know you love Durarara! crap i like it too but i don't go around comparing izaya to every character i see.
 
So you don't go around comparing izaya to every character you see?
Who f*cking cares?
and why should you f*cking care about DM2010 comparing izaya to every character he sees?

Edit: I also asking myself why i replied to this guy.
