User blog:Nomimushi/Discussion: Shizuo's Age.

Hello. Well, I've been helping with editing and revising this page for a while now, but I've actually never started a discussion and I don't know how to do it exactly. Am I doing it right? Anyways, I might as well start here untill I figure out how to start one.

So, I think I've find some plot holes in the ages of some characters, but mainly Shizuo. Here in the wiki we are lead to believe that Shizuo is older than Izaya for a few months, however in the translation of the 'Durarara!! Gaiden!?: A Sudden Coming of Age Ceremony' it is stated that Shizuo is actually about a year younger that Izaya. Izaya was 20 and Shizuo was 19 in their coming of age. Therefore we are probaly adding a year in Shizuo's age here in the wiki.

"A few years ago   January



The coming of age ceremony of the year in Toshima Ward was filled with an unfavourable atmosphere before it begun.

Heiwajima Shizuo, 19 years old.

Orihara Izaya, 20 years old.

It was the year that they all were having a coming of age ceremony, including Shizuo who was waiting for his birthday on January 28th."

I don't know how accurate the translation is, however, since I don't know japanese, so I wanted to know your opinions.

Here's the translation: http://mizaya.tumblr.com/post/95319511239/gaiden-6-durarara-x-20-a-sudden-coming-of-age
