Wait, what just happened?
Maybe it's my computer, or maybe I'm just seeing things, but Mikado's page is...gone. It's completely gone. I have no idea what just happened. Enlightment would be appreciated. The Bad Joke 01:24, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

 * noway i cant believe that

Okay Mikado is really cool. He created the DOLLARS, but who created the DOLLARS in real life is what I want to know? Anyway how come it hasn't talked about Mikado's info on here of stuff of what he did in Volumes 11 and 12 yet?Skyler.fernandez.9 (talk) 04:59, January 2, 2014 (UTC)Skyler Fernandez

I've been a bit slow on info updates so far. I haven't had much time to do it. As for who created the Dollars in real life, I'd wager most of those sites are fan-made. There are like 7 or 8 different sites claiming the title of dollars, it's best not to think too deeply about them.Sol420 (talk) 05:38, January 3, 2014 (UTC) Sol420

When's it going to talk about Mikado's volume 11 and 12 story on here in this Durarara!! wiki?Skyler.fernandez.9 (talk) 02:56, January 9, 2014 (UTC)Skyler Fernandez

MIKADO VOLUMES 11, 12, & 13
Is Mikado doing anything in Volumes 11-13? It would be great if you guys would just edit it already like you guys edited Shizuo and Izaya's volume 13. Edit Celty's volume 13 story too.

Antagonist?
I undid the adding of the antagonist tag by a random contributor. It occured to me after changing it that I haven't read SH at least not much of it. If he becomes an antagonist in SH then I understand, but for volumes 1-13 he is one of the protagonists. Does anyone who has read SH have any input?ShikiAwakusu (talk) 00:22, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

-I don't believe Mikado qualifies as an antagonist, even following what has been translated for SH. Anti-hero is one thing, antagonist, no. Mikado is still the protagonist. A protagonist can be defined by a champion or advocate of a cause or idea. The Dollars would be his cause, the idea would be that the Dollars could be used as a force of good rather than evil. I don't believe the antagonist tag add is helpful or accurate. ChromeCircus (talk) 00:59, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

- The literary defintion of antagonist is "One who opposes and contends against another; an adversary" or "The principal character in opposition to the protagonist or hero of a narrative or drama" (apologetically swiped from a dictionary). I could see a case being made for the first defintion (he does 'contend' against others, and one could argue he is an adversary to his best friend by his own choices, but it's a stretch so I wouldn't). The second defitnion can be completely thrown out because he is not in opposition to anyone else who could be considered the protagonist or the hero. Until SH is more fully translated we won't know for sure, however I sincerely doubt he is the principle force acting in opposition to the protagonists of that series. This could change of course, but until it does and we can provide evidence for it I would leave it off. Raviru (talk) 07:58, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
