Durarara Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ikebukuro

Durarara takes place in the fictional city of Ikebukuro. Shinjuku is mentioned by Shizuo Heiwajima as where Izaya Orihara lives. Tokyo and Kyoto are not mentioned.

Answer: Shizuo Heiwajima

According to reporter Shuji Niekawa, Shizuo Heiwajima is the strongest person in Ikebukuro. Izaya says that Shizuo is the strongest 'if anything goes', but Simon would be the strongest in a simple fist fight. Shizuo is the able to summon massive strength when angered.

It allows him to pick up heavy objects, such as vending machines, and chuck them at people (namely Izaya Orihara). When he was a kid, this ability left him with many injuries, but his body grew adjusted to it over time.

Answer: Izaya Orihara

Masaomi, Mikado, and Anri are students at Raira Academy. Izaya Orihara attended the school when he was younger, but now he is an informant. Izaya loves all humans, except Shizuo Heiwajima; his rival. Izaya likes to stir up trouble in Ikebukuro to attempt and awaken the head of Celty.

Answer: Headless horsewoman

Celty Sturlson is an Irish Dullahan. She once rode a black horse and, like all Dullahans, carried her head around with her. However, her head was stolen. She now tries to find her head while living in Ikebukuro with an underground doctor, who happens to be in love with her.

Answer: Sushi restaurant

Simon is a large, African American male from Russia that works at Russia Sushi. He is one of the owners, and he stands outside to pass out flyers and coupons to lure in customers. He is one of the strongest men in Ikebukuro, and even throws Izaya into a statue of red letters that reads 'love'.

Answer: Shizuo Heiwajima

Kasuka is the famous little brother of Shizuo Heiwajima. His stage name is Yuhei Hanejima. When not acting, he doesn't show much emotion. Izaya's younger sisters are obsessed with him to the point of stalking him. When they were kids, Shizuo almost launched a refrigerator at Kasuka's head.

Despite Shizuo's strength and lack of restraint, Kasuka really does care for him; even going so far as to give him his typical clothes and get him a job.

Answer: Izaya framed him for a crime

Izaya framed Shizuo as his accomplice in various crimes. His arrest made him lose his job. Shizuo originally got the job thanks to his brother, Kasuka. Shizuo now works as a bodyguard for Tom Tanaka, a debt collector and Shizuo's old friend.

Answer: Izaya Orihara

Shinra is a childhood friend who is interested in Shizuo's strength, Masaomi is a high school student, and Simon is one of the owners of Russia sushi. Overall, Shizuo appears to be on good terms with most of the characters, but Izaya is the one that sets him off.

He hated Izaya from the moment they met, claiming that the informant "pissed him off". Whenever Izaya is in town, Shizuo will not hesitate to show up and throw rather large objects at him, such as stop signs and vending machines. Izaya seems uninjured after each hit, and simply uses his parkour skills to run away and evade the blonde.

Answer: Yellow Scarves

The Dollars and the Yellow Scarves are the two gangs in Ikebukuro that Kida warns Mikado of when he first comes to town. The Yellow Scarves were originally the rivals of Blue Square, but they disbanded after attacking and disabling Saki; the leader's girlfriend at the time.

The Dollars are a gang that anyone can join by invitation. They have an online chat site that they can log into and talk on. The gang was originally made as a joke, but it soon grew out of hand. Ironically, Mikao and Kida are the leaders of the Dollars and Yellow Scarves, respectively. Kida resigned after Saki was injured.

Answer: To wake up Celty's sleeping head

Although Izaya manipulates people for fun, he does have a reason for wanting to cause the war in Ikebukuro. He thinks that if the head awakens during a war, it will guide him to Valhalla. Valhalla is the heaven of Norse mythology. He believes that Dullahanas, like Celty, are Valkyries. Valkyries guide deceased warriors to Valhalla. Izaya would like to go to heaven instead of hell, although he doesn't really care as long as he can live on.
