Why does izaya have celtys head

Izaya claims Shizuo is the only human he does not love and wouldn't mind seeing him dead. Shizuo tries to kill him every time they meet on the street, meaning Izaya often finds random vending machines, trash cans and other large objects flying straight at him.

During one of their more hectic confrontations, Kine, a high ranking member of the Awakusu was caught in the crossfire.

Kine managed to dissolve the conflict but took an interest in Izaya who was just starting out as in information broker at the time. Through Kine, Izaya met many of his first clients in the Yakuza and was his official contact with the Awakusu.

During this period, Izaya began to collect "followers" for his own purposes, most of which were traumatized teenage girls, ranging from gothic lolitas to gyarus though the majority of them simply took Izaya to be a fortune teller of sorts who would do whatever he said and worshiped him in an almost cult-like fashion like Saki. Those girls were lost and desperate for someone to believe in, making them especially easy to use. They weren't really in love with the families or boyfriends concerned, they simply put their faith in them.

All Izaya did was shift that faith towards him. If he wanted them to die, they would probably have gone ahead and did it, even if they had doubts. Izaya's fans had conflicts between students in several Ikebukuro high schools, leading to a protracted period of unrest.

One notable incident involved Mikage Sharaku, a classmate who became one of Izaya's followers due to a crush she had on him. The exact details of the event are unclear, however, Mikage took the fall for Izaya which resulted in Mikage's expulsion and inability to find work. Despite this, she later claims that while she finds him to be awful, she respects him because he's true to himself.

In desperation, Masaomi asked for Izaya's help regarding a gang war with another gang known as the Blue Squares. Izaya assisted Masaomi initially, but after Saki was kidnapped, Izaya suddenly ceased all contact with Masaomi which resulted in the Yellow Scarves being defeated and Saki severely injured.

It is revealed that Izaya had manipulated these events by playing both sides against each other. He verbally taunted Masaomi after he visited Saki in the hospital. He is also a member of the Dollars. Although Mikado Ryuugamine is the leader of the gang, Izaya is the one who anonymously recruited most of their members when Mikado stopped doing it, sending out invitations saying the Dollars have no rules except that you have to say you are one of them. Izaya is usually seen talking about the latest rumors of gangs, urban myths, and otherwise stirring up trouble in online chatrooms while at the same time pretending to be a girl.

His screen names are "Kanra" and "Nakura" with "Nakura" possibly being derived from his business partner in high school , and most recently, "Chrome. Izaya is mentioned by Masaomi in the beginning of the series as being extremely dangerous. Izaya's first actual appearance in the series is during the kidnapping of Rio Kamichika.

The kidnapping of Rio is an anime specific event which deviates from the original light novel. Izaya had spoken to her under the screen name "Nakura" and convinced her to commit suicide with him. However, he had also hired a group of thugs to kidnap her at their supposed meeting place. Not long after she was captured, he also hired Celty to rescue her and bring her to the roof of a large building to meet her personally. On the roof, Izaya briefly converses with Rio, slowly revealing that he had not only organized her rescue but also the initial kidnapping, saying it was all to see her reaction.

He then proceeds to verbally taunt Rio about her petty reasons for wanting to commit suicide, and to reveal to her that she still has the will and desire to live. Izaya eventually leaves, calling Rio a hypocrite for her insincerity in her wish for death.

Rio decides to jump in an attempt to get back at him, but is saved by Celty's shadows. Celty then confronts Izaya after the incident and asks if he was responsible for others who had jumped from the roof. Izaya denies this and leaves. Izaya is next seen meeting Masaomi and Mikado on a park bench.

He seems to take an interest in Mikado but he is interrupted by a sudden attack by Shizuo. Izaya and Shizuo almost start a fight, but a group of thugs interrupts them and Izaya manages to escape in the ensuing chaos.

A few days later, Namie Yagiri, the head of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, goes to Izaya Orihara's apartment where she asks him for help regarding her brother, Seiji, who had gone missing. It is also revealed that Izaya had been helping her company with it's human experiments by giving them a list of suitable candidates. Izaya mentions more pressing concerns involving her company's financial security, but she insists on locating Seiji.

After a bit more teasing, Izaya agrees to help. Izaya easily finds where Seiji is - in possession of the police. Then Simon takes her phone and writes a single message "Save him.

She tells him to get ready for something bad. When they arrive, Celty and Mikado catch up to Anri and Masaomi. She witnesses Kyouhei and the rest of the dollars defeat the yellow scarves and eventually returns home.

As things calm down and return to normal, Celty is last seen with Shinra sunbathing on the balcony. Celty is undergoing another autopsy, this time by Shingen's new wife and by extension, Celty's mother-in-law Emilia Kishitani. Initially, Celty is a little put off by her bubbly personality but that quickly changes when Emilia pays Celty 1 million yen in cash.

Thanking Emilia, Celty rides off into the night thinking about what she will use the money for. As Celty reflects on her life since coming to Japan, she realizes that she doesn't mind things staying the way they are with or without her head. She has friends who accept her, a stable job as a courier and a lover waiting for her at home.

Her happiness is short-lived, however, by the untimely arrival of Kinnosuke Kuzuhara. After briefly mentioning the traffic regulations for motorbikes, Kuzuhara and Celty begin a frantic chase through the Ikebukuro streets with Kuzuhara keeping pace with Celty despite her supernatural abilities. Although Celty manages to get away, she also loses the envelope containing her 1 million yen. Celty reacts like any normal person would after losing that much money, she cries.

Celty returns home depressed and wraps herself in a cocoon of her own shadow. Shinra asks what was bothering her and gets pulled into the cocoon as well. Shinra tries to cheer Celty up and also brings up another job.

Celty accepts, wanting something to take her mind off of losing 1 million yen and goes out. Celty meets with the client later revealed to be Ruri Hijiribe and immediately gets a familiar vibe emanating from her. The two form a fast friendship and Celty agrees to do the job free of charge for such a rare encounter. Later that day, Celty is horrified to find that the recent chase between her and Kuzuhara drew considerable attention from the media.

Yodogiri Shining Corporation has even put out a wanted poster for her with a bounty of 10 million yen. The next day, Celty is approached by another client, revealed later to be Denis in disguise, who needs her to transport a bag large enough to hold a human inside it for a day. Celty needs only to keep it for one day and after that, she can drop it anywhere. Celty is cautious, but she needs the money.

As Celty rides through the night, she is suddenly accosted by several members from a biker gang called Toramaru who want the ten million yen bounty on her head. Celty does her best to elude them but to no avail. One of the bikers swings a pipe at Celty only to tear a hole in the bag she was transporting. A hand pops out of the bag and Celty panics at the fact that she was transporting a human body for the past several hours. Things are complicated even further by the arrival of Kinnosuke Kuzuhara.

Initially, Kuzuhara focuses on Celty but switches his attention to the Toramaru members after they try to attack him. Celty manages to lose Kuzuhara and the bikers as they fight each other but she runs into even more Toramaru members further down the road.

After several hours, she also runs into Kyouhei Kadota and his gang who are also being chased by Toramaru members, and notices Mikado, Anri Sonohara and three other Raira students, Aoba Kuronuma , Mairu Orihara , and Kururi Orihara , in the back. The ten of them drive on until they come to an overpass where Celty gets an idea. She tells Kyouhei to run while she uses her shadows and the overpass as a net to stop the bikers. The plan works, initially, but it is clear that there are too many of them for the net to hold.

Celty readies her scythe to try and fight them despite the fact that it would draw even more attention to herself than there was already until the person in the bag suddenly springs into action, revealing himself to be the Russian assassin Egor.

Egor tells Celty and the others to stand back while he deals with Toramaru. More help also arrives in the form of Ruri, dressed as a Dullahan in armor, who assists Egor in dispatching the gang. After the incident is resolved and the bounty is withdrawn, Celty soon returns to a normal life.

At the end of the novel, Celty has earned back her lost money by transporting Egor, and she, Shinra, and Emilia hold a hotpot party and invite most of the main cast to attend minus Izaya and Masaomi. Celty is called into the Awakusu headquarters by Haruya Shiki to discuss a job. Aside from Shiki, all the other employees around them seem to act a bit tense with Celty in the room.

Despite Shiki's polite and calm demeanor, Celty is cautious about the job he has for her. Shiki invites Celty to remove her helmet despite knowing that she is a Dullahan. Celty does so, hesitantly, and one of the younger employees yells in fright at the sight of her.

Shiki immediately bashes the man's head against a cabinet and makes him apologize for screaming at a guest's face.

Celty quickly changes the subject by asking for the job Shiki requested. Shiki states that there are actually two jobs he needs her to do. The first is to ask for information regarding Yodogiri Jinnai. Shiki explains that Yodogiri had tasked the Awakusu to capture the killer Hollywood at some point but withheld info on Hollywood's superhuman strength which got the men they sent killed so the Awakusu want revenge.

The second job is for Celty to locate the granddaughter of the Head of the Awakusu, Akane Awakusu , and act as her bodyguard for the time being. Celty accepts the job and proceeds to search for Akane with the photo Shiki gives her. As Celty rides through the streets, she is suddenly ambushed by Vorona on another motorbike. Vorona's attack knocks Celty off of her bike and causes her helmet to get run over. Celty manages to tag Vorona's bike with a very thin thread of her shadow which Celty uses to track her through the City.

Celty follows Vorona to Anri's apartment just as the two were about to fight. Vorona and Slon retreat and Celty gives chase, following them throughout the freeway. Celty is eventually forced to retreat due to Vorona pulling out an anti-tank rifle and firing it in the middle of a crowded street.

Celty returns to Anri's apartment and the two of them ride back to Celty and Shinra's place since they suspect that Vorona may come back to attack Anri again. After dropping off Anri, Celty leaves again to continue her search for Akane but has very little success. Eventually she decides to search for her would be assailants and follows the thread she made earlier to the abandoned factory where Mikado and Aoba where meeting.

Unbeknownst to her, Vorona and Slon were watching Celty from a distance, waiting for the others to leave so they could strike. Celty observes the meeting between Mikado and Aoba, wondering if she should rush in and help and also why Mikado was being so hesitant. Her cover is blown by her cell phone ringing due to a call from Shinra. Exposed, Celty walks into the warehouse with Aoba and the Blue Squares confused by her sudden arrival. Celty states that she isn't there to interfere and that they should continue their conversation and ignore her.

That plan is quickly shot down by the arrival of several Toramaru members who are out for revenge against the dollars. As the situation turns violent, Celty takes Mikado out of the warehouse while Aoba and the Blue Squares hold off Toramaru. Mikado explains to Celty about how he and Anri were supposed to meet in the park and the two of them make their way there. Celty and Mikado meet up with Anri who took Akane with her for a walk but they are also surrounded by several Awakusu members.

The Awakusu bow to Celty out of gratitude for agreeing to protect Akane but they are interrupted by even more Toramaru members. They ask for "the kid" Mikado but the Awakusu members think they want Akane. They tell Celty to take Akane somewhere safe while they deal with Toramaru. Due to the large passenger size, Celty changes her Horse back into a Chariot for the first time in several decades and the four of them ride away through the city.

Celty eventually stops in an underground parking lot to give the others a chance to rest. Eventually, Mikado runs out after seeing the messages about the attempted kidnapping and Anri runs after him. Celty decides to take Akane back to her apartment only to find Shiki waiting for them there.

Although Akane is hesitant, Shiki takes Akane back to her father who has just arrived outside the building. Just as Celty is about to relax, a sudden explosion draws her attention outside. She sees Slon ride away with Akane and Shiki, Akane's father, and their employees incapacitated by Slon's flash grenade. Celty rides after them using another thread of shadow attached to Akane to track them. Although she loses sight of Slon, the thread of Shadow eventually leads her to Raira as well as Slon and Vorona's truck.

Celty suspects some kind of trap but another flash-bang catches her attention. When she investigates, she sees Shizuo approaching the fight between the dollars and the rogue dollars with Vorona's motorbike on his shoulder. Moments later, she sees Vorona running from Shizuo.

After Shizuo manages to crash his way into the cargo compartment of Vorona's truck, Celty rides into action and uses her shadow to disarm Vorona before she can shoot Shizuo. When Shizuo breaks the cargo compartment in half, Celty uses her shadows again to cushion their fall.

Although she isn't sure how Shizuo and Akane got so familiar with each other, she is glad that they're both safe. After everything had calmed down, Celty and Shinra discuss going on a trip. Celty and Shinra go on a date but it is constantly being interrupted by Izaya calling them from the hospital due to boredom. Celty and Shinra know that they should probably be more concerned for Izaya's wellbeing but they find it hard to do so since the stab wound wasn't even fatal and, with all things considered, Izaya probably had it coming to him in the first place.

In the beginning of the volume Celty is being chased by the cops again. Kinnosuke also tells her about her front wheel of her motorcycle. She manages to escape but her motorcycle flips in the process. When she gets back to her house she asks Shinra why that happened. Then Anri comes into their apartment. Mikado and Aoba arrive at Celty and Shinra's apartment with a warning. A stalker of Ruri Hijirbe's named Kisuke Adabashi is looking for people who are close to her.

Since Shinra was seen exiting Kasuka's apartment the night he and Ruri were revealed to be a couple, Mikado suspects that Shinra may be in danger. Not long after, Celty has to leave to do another job but is hesitant to do so. Shinra reassures her and Celty leaves. Celty returns home to find Shinra beaten bloody and with almost every bone in his body broken. Celty panics and calls out to him, but Shinra falls unconscious due to the severe wounds.

It is revealed that Shinra is alive although has to stay in a full body cast. Celty and Emilia do their best to take care of him but Shinra's naturally energetic personality doesn't make it very easy.

Through out the events of the novel, Shinra offers some insight into his past with Izaya and how he got stabbed in middle school. When Shinra notices Celty getting angry about something, he suspects that it is about finding the person who injured him.

Shinra tells Celty not to think about it and tells her not to do anything without telling him first especially if it concerns Kisuke Adabashi. When Celty asks what Shinra will do if she does find Adabashi without telling him and Shinra simply replies that he can't do anything to stop her except cry and scream like a little kid. Celty realizes that Shinra isn't joking about crying and agrees not to do anything without consulting Shinra first. Is Mika Harima a Yandere?
