Synopsis
Episode 25 started with the thread talking about the death threat on Yuuhei Hanejima's life. Then, Yuuhei, Shizuo's little brother, was having a live shoot in Ikebukuro and was searching for the number 1 couple. On the background is Simon, holding a plackard and advertising his Russian Sushi to the crowd. Somewhere, Shinra then asks Selty to go out with him but she refused, since she wants to watch the shows that she herself recorded. Then she saw the show Yuuhei is doing and Shinra mentioned that he is Shizuo's little



brother and that even Izaya, had twin little sisters, much to Selty's disbelief. Back on the show, Yuuhei has interviewed a few couple, one of them is Seiji and Harima. Izaya's twin sisters were looking for Yuuhei and spotted the place where the shooting was being done but Shizuo intercepted and placed them somewhere. Meanwhile, Mikado and Anri are also out and was going to watch a movie together when they were spotted by Yuuhei and interviewed the couple. Mikado mostly did the talking, stammering, said they are just friends but then he wants to be more than friends then got serious when he suddenly remembered Masaomi and that he will wait for his return before he does anything and then went back to being embarassed. Then, the man who declared he will kill Yuuhei over the net, has appeared and attacked but got face-to-face with a billboard, courtesy of Shizuo, knocking him out.

Shizuo went back and hid Izaya's twin sisters and blocked the door with a vending machine. He then got a call from Izaya and asked him what is he trying to do now. Izaya said that he will leave the city for now and go underground, but before he leaves, he will settle an old matter first and threw a knife towards Shizuo who easily caught it with his teeth and smashed the said knife to pieces. A great fight ensues, consisting of flying street signs and vending machines and knives. The live shooting changed, from finding the 1 number couple to the great fight scene to the Russian Sushi - Selty came to stop the fight when the camera focused on her and Simon decided to intervene and sent Yuuhei to their sushi restaurant instead.

Outside, the fight continues until Izaya decided to run away, Shizuo hot in pursuit. Erika, Walker, Kadota, and Saburo watch the fight from the new tv in their van. Erika, being a yaoi supporter and a Shizuo/Izaya fangirl, goes hyper, much to her companions' distress.

Back on the scene, a slight ruffle from the crowd ended to an all - out brawl fight. Selty could not take it anymore and let out her power, shadow on the floor which made the fighting crowd sink and could not move. They were eventually tied but then the traffic police came and pursued Selty. The camera is now airborne, with Yuuhei inside a helicopter and was doing a live broadcast of the pursuit between the cops and Selty.

It ended with everyone doing their usual thing, calm has finally set in. Mikado was in the station when he bumped into a young man who is about to take the entrance exam to Raira Academy and told him how to get there. Followed by a monologue from Mikado and his thoughts.
