Synopsis
Chatroom

Kanra was talking about the headless rider, and Taro Tanaka asked if it was true that it didn't have a head. Setton told him that was a ridiculous rumor and that no one couldn't have a head. Kanra says that his source is very reliable, and that the Black Rider doesn't have a head because it's not human.

Trivia

 * When the painter narrated his story from back when he first saw the Dullahan, we see him asking for advice from a man who spins his black pen around his fingers. He is actually Shinra's father. This can also be confirmed, aside from the similar looks, clothing, and pen, by the fact that when Celty went abroad the ship in order to sail to Japan, Shinra and his father Shingen were also abroad at the same ship, which means that before the ship departed, they were in Ireland. Therefore, it is possible for the painter and Shingen to have met back when the painter first saw Celty.
