It is revealed that there is more than one stalker; Kisuke is working with other obsessed Ruri fans. Kisuke found his helpers on the Dollars' website, and he knows that Ruri is Hollywood. Earlier, Mikado used his administrator privileges on the Dollars' website to illegally find all those involved. He discovers that they plan to attack everyone who is acquainted with Ruri, so Mikado sends the Blue Squares to help. Masaomi, Shizuo, Tom, and Vorona are attacked by two Ruri fans, but a member of the Blue Squares arrives to intervene, before running off. Masaomi gives chase and recognizes the member's blue mask as that of the Blue Squares. Masaomi catches up, accidentally knocks him out, and looks at the member's phone to see that Mikado sent a message to the Blue Squares, telling them to protect Anri without her knowing. Anri accidentally lets Yuigadokusonmaru run outside, follows him, and is found by Kisuke, who knows that Anri wields Saika. Kisuke is distracted by Yuigadokusonmaru, and leaves Anri to chase him down. Masaomi stumbles upon members of the Blue Squares while looking for Mikado, and takes cover around a corner. Suddenly, Yuigadokusonmaru runs past the members of the Blue Squares, followed by Kisuke. Kisuke takes out most of the members of the Blue Squares, before brutally beating the last one. Masaomi tries to help, but Kisuke manages to pin him down. The last member of the Blue Squares lights Kisuke's back on fire, causing Kisuke to run away, before revealing to Masaomi that he is Mikado. Aoba arrives in a van and picks up Mikado and the Blue Squares. Mikado tells Masaomi to be patient, says that he is making it so that Masaomi and Anri have a place to come home to, and asks Masaomi to stay away until he is done and to not tell Anri about him. After Mikado leaves, Anri arrives and picks up Yuigadokusonmaru, who is with Masaomi. Mikado promises to Anri that he will explain everything later, and runs off. Afterwards, one of Akabayashi's henchmen informs him that Izaya has been spotted in Ikekuburo, about Mikado's recent actions with the Blue Squares, and that Mikado is a close friend of Anri's. Elsewhere, Yodogiri reveals to Seitarō that he had Kisuke beat Shinra up, hoping Celty would go berzerk. Seitarō wants Yodogiri to get him Celty, Celty's head, Anri, and Ruri at any cost. Kisuke, with a severely burned back, learns that the photo of Ruri surrounded by men wearing opera masks has been leaked to the public from Max's computer. Izaya is shown to have allied himself with a large group of people, including Manami, members of the biker gang Dragon Zombie, Haruna Niekawa, Slon (whose legs are broken), Kisuke, Kine (a former member of the Awakusu group), Ran Izumii (the former leader of the Blue Squares), and Mikage Sharaku (Izaya's acquaintance from high school).

| Haruya Shiki hires Izaya to learn about an organization named Amphisbaena, that runs a gambling ring in town. Shiki says that he is unable to pin down where they are operating from, because the location is always different. They use IC gambling chips to scam people. Shiki is hiring Izaya, because he does not know if this is simply a matter of Amphisbaena scamming people on the Awakusu group's turf, or if Amphisbaena is a group similar to his own, in which case he wants to clear up any misunderstanding with them. Shiki tells Izaya that Akabayashi recently cracked down on some drug dealers dealing Heaven's Slave; Shiki has been trying to find the supplier, but all he has learned is that the supplier is not Amphisbaena. Later, Mimizu, leader of Amphisbaena, has captured Izaya, who is tied to a chair and has a potato sack over his head. Earlier, Hiroto Shijima, second-in-command of Heaven's Slave (the group distributing the drug Heaven's Slave), reveals that his leader, Kumoi, plans to take over Amphisbaena. Izaya, guarded by the biker gang Dragon Zombie, meets Celty and asks her to transport a laptop. Hiroto learns of Izaya and Celty's meeting. He knows that Izaya has been digging for information about Amphisbaena for the Awakusu group. He reveals that the casino chips that Amphisbaena use can record wins and losses electronically, each containing a transmitter and a bug inside to track their members. He says that Kumoi wants to team up with Amphisbaena and use the chips to expand Heaven's Slave's business. Therefore, he has his men follow Izaya, and get to him before he has a chance to report to the Awakusu group. Celty leaves the laptop unattended, and Hiroto's men snatch it and escape from Shooter, who tries to chase them down. The laptop contains a program that uses GPS to show the location of Amphisbaena's bugged chips. With it, Hiroto and Heaven's Slave barge into Amphisbaena's secret location, where they are holding Izaya. Suddenly, Mimizu and Hiroto both receive a phone call Izaya, who reveals that he knows who Heaven's Slave's and Amphisbaena's leaders are: Tokage and Kumoi, respectively. Hiroto is about to cut the captive's potato sack off, but the captive grabs the knife and does it himself. The captive is reavealed to be Izaya, and the person on the phone is revealed to be Ran. Izaya cuts himself loose and explains that he let himself be captured, in order to talk Amphisbaena out of their casino scam, as the Awakusu group is dangerous. He also reveals that the potato sack was see-through while Mikage takes out all of the members of Heaven's Slave, and the other members of Amphisbaena are revealed to be under Haruna's control. Izaya asks Haruna to take control of Mimizu; it is revealed that Haruna is obeying Izaya because Izaya promised to take her to see Takashi Nasujima. Afterwards, Izaya tells Shiki that Amphisbaena has shut down their casinos and disbanded their membership; by the time Izaya started poking around, their boss was long gone. Shiki notes that Heaven's Slave also split town, but Izaya denies knowing about that. Shiki then says that Akabayashi wants to speak with Izaya. | |||||||

He would then have someone else take his place, and control the Dollars. They then learn that the bullets used at the shooting incidents were not from the gun Aozaki gave Mikado. It is revealed that Hiroto gave Mikado the pistol glove. Walker suddenly lands on the roof of Saburo's van with a fire extinguisher flamethrower. He uses it to ward off Ran and his crew, allowing Anri, Saki, Seiji, Mika, and Namie to escape, while Kyohei, Erika, Walker, and Saburo stand their ground. Mikado realizes that by shooting Masaomi, he has the potential to make everyone around him suffer, and decides that he cannot allow himself to keep going; he then shoots himself in the head with his pistol glove. | |||||||

| Shizuo and Izaya continue their fight. Simon, Denis, Tom, and Kine come charging out of Russia Sushi, and throw a flash grenade at the mob. The flash distracts Izaya, allowing Shizuo to land two direct hits on him. Izaya can barely stand, and Shizuo is about to kill him, when Vorona shows up and shoots Izaya with her ballistic knife. She then points a gun at him and intends to kill him, so that Shizuo does not become a murderer. Simon sees this, and throws a flash grenade in their direction, knocking Vorona out. Celty tells everyone that she will undo all the trouble associated with her body; she uses her shadows to restrain Saika's children and the Dollars, and stops the bullet from Mikado's pistol glove. Anri, Saki, Seiji, and Mika arrive at the roof of Tokyu Hands, where Celty explains that she plans to leave Ikebukuro, because her body has influenced the citizens in a negative way. Shinra arrives and claims that Celty's memories of Ikebukuro never faded away, because he can tell when Celty is lying. He reveals that if Celty pretends to have lost her memories, it will be easier for everyone to let her go. Celty denies this, and she and Shooter ride off into the sky. Shizuo arrives, and Shinra has Shizuo throw him towards Celty. Shinra shoots past Celty, prompting her to try and catch him. As she gets close, Shinra unleashes his Saika (which he obtained from Kasane) to sever Celty's head from her body. She uses her shadow to break his fall. Elsewhere, Mikado, Masaomi, Saki, and Anri are walking in the streets, when Nasujima runs up behind them and tries to stab Anri with a knife. Mikado pushes her out of the way, getting stabbed himself. Meanwhile, Haruna messages her father, telling him not to worry and that she is with the man she loves. Izaya is being transported in a car with Kine and Manami. Kine tells Izaya that he as a 50/50 chance to live, and that Manami carried him to the car. Manami replies that she did so because she wanted to be around when Izaya died. They are heading to an underground doctor instead of a hospital, because Izaya wants to get out of the city; Izaya says if he does die, he does not want Shizuo near him. Celty's head is now being held in Chicago by the Nebula Corporation. Shingen tries to recruit Namie for the Nebula Corporation. Seiji and Mika plan to go to Chicago to see Celty's head, and Seiji tells Mika that he is not in love with her, but he can love her like family. Kasane saves Ruri from being hit by a truck driven by Kisuke Adabashi, before dropping him in front of a police station. Kasane tells Ruri that she is jealous of her, and that by saving her, Kasane is taking away Ruri's opportunity to atone for her sins as Hollywood. Kyohei's gang, who are fans of Ruri, are glad after hearing about what happened to Kisuke. Akane Awakusu, Mairu Orihara, and Kururi Orihara continue to attend the Rakuei gym, where Eijirō and Mikage continue to teach. Vorona and Slon are about to board a plane back to Russia. Shizuo is there to see them off, and Vorona tells him that she wishes to return one day. This time, after having her head severed, Celty still has all her memories, because she was awake when it happened. Celty and Shinra share a ride on her bike, but Kinnosuke Kuzuhara interrupts them, prompting Celty to flee and Kinnosuke to give chase. Mikado collapses after being stabbed by Nasujima. Anri pulls out Saika and attacks Nasujima, but Haruna suddenly appears and blocks her attack. Nasujima is shocked to see Haruna, revealing that Haruna was never under his control, and she was only acting like it to please him. Nasujima flees in terror. Kyohei's gang sees Nasujima, Erika recognizes him as the leader of Saika's children, and Kyohei recognizes him as the person who ran him over. Saburo then runs Nasujima over with his van. Nasujima wakes up chained to a bed in a soundproof room inside one of Izaya's hideouts, where Haruna prepares various weapons and tools to use on him, in order to show him her love. Mikado is now in a coma in a hospital. Aoba walks towards Mikado's room, but is stopped by Akabayashi, who threatens him. Later, Anri reveals to Akabayashi that she is in love with Mikado. Mikado wakes up, and Masaomi and Anri hold his hand. | |||||||
