Durarara!! Saika Arc Chapter 011

"This is exactly why I hate you so much, Shizu-chan."

- Izaya Orihara

Brains, Beauty, Blade is the eleventh chapter in the Saika Arc manga adaptation.

Synopsis
Shizuo attempts to get into Izaya's apartment, and just as he is about to kick down the door, Izaya calls out to him from behind, questioning his presence. Shizuo tells him that he is going to beat him up, proclaiming Izaya is related to the events going on in the city. Izaya attempts to divert suspicion but Shizuo is not being swayed. Left with no other option, Izaya pulls out his switchblade and prepares himself for a fight.

Shizuo walks outside and pulls the guard rail out of the ground. The two are about to collide when Celty breaks in between them on her motorcycle. Once the two lay down their arms, Celty shows Shizuo Saika's activity in the chat room. Shortly after, Shizuo gets on Celty's motorcycle and they head off.

Elsewhere, Haruna is talking to Anri, revealing that she looked into her history and knows about the robber that broke into her parents' store and killed them. Even as Haruna is talking to her, however, Anri has retreated into her frame. Haruna approaches Anri and claims she has an easy life, which Anri denies before insulting Takashi Nasujima. Haruna, enraged, decides to end Anri's life. Just before she can slit her throat, the doorbell rings. Haruna goes to kill the person on the other side and sees Takashi at the door.

Trivia

 * This chapter's title is a pun on the expression 才色兼備, which refers to typically a woman gifted with both beauty and intelligence. The character for "and" (兼) is replaced with the homophone "blade" (剣).
