Plot
The Arcs starts out with Mikado Ryūgamine walking out of a train in Ikebukuro. He was then pushed into a wall. The reason why he came to Ikebukuro is for school at Raira Academy. He was also invited there by his friend Masaomi Kida. After a little bit a guy yelled "Hey Mikado!". It startles Mikado,and he looks at the guy who said it. Mikado guessed it was Masaomi,and it was. They started to walk after meeting each other again. Masaomi tells Mikado that there's a lot of cool stuff in Ikebukuro.

While they were walking Mikado bumps into a cardboard cut out of an anime character. Mikado then sees Walker Yumasaki,and Erika Karisawa walking out from behind it. Masaomi says hi to them and they say hi back. Behind them Kyohei Kadota says hi to Masaomi while leaning against Saburo Togusa's car. Mikado then says his name to them after learning all of thier names. Walker,and Erika after hearing Mikado's name they think it's cool. Masaomi sees Walker's bag and asks him what does he have in his bag.

Walker says it's 40 manga books. Mikado was surprised,but Erika said some of it is for Walker, someof it is for her,and some of it is for other reasons.Then Mikado,and Masaomi keep walking. While walking Simon Brezhnev asks Mikado if he wanted any sushi from Russia Sushi. Masaomi says hi to him,and they kept walking since they didn't have the money for sushi at the moment. Masaomi then tells Mikado the dangerous people in town. He says that Simon is good but don't piss him off.

Masaomi says that if you see Shizuo Heiwajima you should run,and Masaomi says there was a guy you should never make contact, Izaya Orihara. Then they both hear a sound like a horse neighing. So they run to the sound and it was the Black Rider driving on it's motorcycle.

Elsewhere in a chatroom the man named TarouTanaka says that he was moving to Ikebukuro. Setton says congratulations to him,and Kanra logs on saying that there's a urban legend in Ikebukuro. It the the Black Rider. Elsewhere some kidnappers were waiting for thier boss to get to them in a parking garage. One kidnapper asks what was taking one of thier guys so long to get back. The guy he was wondering about was then thrown down the ramp.

The kidnappers see the Black Rider right there. So one of them walks up to it,and asks it to back off. The Black rider throws him down to the ground. Three others ran it,but were taken down too. The only guy was scared. The Black Rider then open the trunk to the car and sees two kidnapped people. The final kidnapper whacks it's helmet off so it won't bring him to jail. Back at the chatroom Kanra was talking about the legend of the Black Rider. It was said to be in Ikebukuro for twenty years.

It rides in a black motorcycle that neighs like a horse,and it dosen't have a headlight. Then before Kanra left the chatroom he said that the Black Rider has no head,and could still move without it. Back at the parking lot the Black Rider got up,and took down the guy who knocked off it's helmet.

The Black Rider drives somewhere which was revealed to be it's home. It was greeted by Shinra Kishitani. Shinra asks her about her job,and then says the Izaya Orihara's information was useful. The next day Mikado Ryugime is at his school's welcome ceremony. The school was named Raika adcemy. Mikado was tired from chatting last night and looked to see Masaomi Kida tired too.

Later, in Mikado's class everyone was saying their names to everyone. Then Mikado worries about people laughing about his weird name. When Mikado does tell his name no one laughs. Mikado sits down thinking how lame Masaomi's gretting would be in the other class. Then a girl named Anri Sonohara greets herself and Mikado thinks she is a strange girl. Then Mikado notices that Anri was looking at him. But it turns out she was looking at the desk behind him. The teacher asks if Mika Harima was here but she wasn't.

The next day Raira Academy, Anri Sonohara and Mikado Ryūgamine volunteer to be the Class Representives. Mikado talks to Anri after class, but their conversation is cut short when Anri sees a teacher coming toward her. Masaomi Kida arrives, telling Mikado that he and Anri are very cute together, along with some hints on how to make her love him. As Masaomi tries to pick up older women, Mikado hears a rumor that the Dollars have been behind slashing attacks recently. The friends then run into Kyohei Kadota, Erika Karisawa, and Walker Yumasaki. They tell Mikado to stay away from the Dollars, then Erika and Walker try to decide whether the Dollars are at war with Flame Haze, and whether Kyohei is an older brother character or the father character.

Tom Tanaka and Shizuo Heiwajima are walking down the street when they see Celty Sturluson. Tom remarks that it's too early for scary things. Seiji Yagiri and Anri separately look for Mika Harima, and Anri finds a girl who looks like Mika, but realizes it is not her. Anri then meets a trio of female bullies, who tell her that she should stop acting cool when Mika's not around anymore. The bullies warn her that their boyfriend is in the Dollars. The boyfriend was Hiroshi.

Mikado sees the bulling and wants to help, but just when he decides to help, Izaya Orihara arrives and pushes Mikado in front of the bullies. Izaya then says that although he doesn't want to fight girls, he takes one girl's cell phone and smashes it, then shaves the "Dollars" boyfriend's head with his switchblade. On a park bench, Izaya tells Masaomi "it's been a while." Masaomi then introduces Mikado to Izaya, and Mikado recognizes Izaya's name as the person he is absolutely not supposed to piss off. Masaomi asks Izaya what he is doing in Ikebukuro, and Izaya responds that he came to see someone, and that someone is Mikado.

Suddenly, a large trash can comes flying and hits Izaya. A man in a bartender uniform tells Izaya that he told him never to set foot in Ikebukuro again, to which Izaya replies that even though he framed "Shizu-chan" for something he didn't do, he shouldn't get so mad about it. The man tells Izaya not to call him that, as his name is Shizuo Heiwajima. As Izaya readies his knife, a group of gangsters with the man from before come to attack Izaya. However, when they see Shizuo, one of them looses control and attacks Shizuo. Shizuo proceeds to attack all the gangsters, and in the chaos, Izaya begins to get away. Shizuo throws a vending machine at him, but Simon jumps from where he was delivering sushi on the top floor and stops the machine.

Mikado grabs Anri's hand and the two run from the scene to a park. Anri then leaves, and Mikado watches as Celty drives by. Elsewhere, Seiji finds the girl with the scar on her neck. Shizuo talks with Celty, wondering why Izaya was in Ikebukuro. Izaya reads a message on his cell phone. Simon is still advertising sushi fliers, although he was fairly beat up by Shizuo.

Later Shinra diecides to tell the story of the black rider (Celty Sturlstien) from a different point of view on tape. At first he talked about him being a underground doctor for people who don't want the police to find out about their wounds. Then he told the story of Celty. She is a Dulluhan. The Dulluhan myth was full of death and despair.

20 years earlier in Ireland, Celty woke up in the graveyard,and she didn't have her head. She kept looking and looking for her head because it had all of her Dulluhan memorys. Then she noticed that her head was on a boat to Japan. So then she had herhorse turn into a motorcycle,and they got on the boat. When she changed her cholthes into modern cholthes four year old Shinra saw her.

Shinra then told his dad he walked in the room Celty was in,and apolized for his son's actions. They also made a deal if Shinra's dad could dissect her they'll get her a home in Japan. When they were dissecting her Shinra's dad had Shinra dissect Celty even though he was four years old. He did dissect her anyways. 20 years ahead of time
