Guard skill: harmonics. If you were thinking that was the case last week, then kudos to taking notice of the foreshadowing from way back in episode three.

(Souten Sude ni Shisu)
"The Azure Sky Will Soon Fall"
In classic Durarara fashion, we delve into Masaomi's involvement with the Yellow Scarves from a slightly different perspective this episode. Anri's view on things leading up to her discovery of him as the gang's leader showed just how powerless she, Masaomi, and Mikado are at trying to stop an all-out gang war even if they wanted to.

(Misaki, Miyabigaoka Gakuen he)
"Misaki, Heading to Miyabigaoka Academy"
Hints of Special A, Skip Beat, and now Hana Yori Dango. What's there not to love about this series? If I were only judging it on Fujimura Ayumi's portrayal of one of the best tsunderes I've seen in a while, Kaichou no Maid-sama would already be a shoo-in.
