In Tokyo's downtown district of Ikebukuro, amidst many strange rumors and warnings of anonymous gangs and dangerous occupants, one urban legend stands out above the rest—the existence of a headless "Black Rider" who is said to be seen driving a jet-black motorcycle through the city streets. Mikado Ryuugamine has always longed for the excitement of the city life, and an invitation from a childhood friend convinces him to move to Tokyo. Witnessing the Black Rider on his first day in the city, his wishes already seem to have been granted. But as supernatural events begin to occur, ordinary citizens like himself, along with Ikebukuro's most colorful inhabitants, are mixed up in the commotion breaking out in their city.
Heaven's vengeance
World at peace
My heart is like a hot pot
Romanticist's chaka-poko

Exit 1, first words
Highly unpredictable
Rampant evil
Utterly alone
False advertising
Active interest
Bad-ass dude
Ephemeral dream
Love and cherish
Never before seen
Storm and stress
Yin and yang
Takes a sudden turn
Turmoil reigns
Dumb like a fox
Mutual love
Everything changes
Out of your control
Anarchy
A new king will arise
Everything covered in fog
Declaration of disbandment
Complicated and confused
Selfless devotion
A picture is worth a thousand words
Harmony is the greatest of virtues
Adding insult to injury
When in rome, do as the romans do
No one knows what the future holds
A crow in the dark night
Moscow does not believe in tears
The ladies' man has neither money nor power
The day is short, the work is long
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
No use crying over spilt milk
Adversity makes a man wise
Love thy enemy
Life is but a dream
Marriages are made in heaven
A rumor only lasts seventy-five days
Asleep or awake
Roses have thorns
A cat has nine lives
A mouth of nectar, a heart of needles
Eloquent and competent
Blessed are the foolish
Birds of a feather
It takes a thief to catch a thief
Even a chance acquaintance is decreed by destiny
Bell the cat
All in the same boat
Blood is thicker than water
Lost in the dark
In for a penny, in for a pound
No love lost
A tiger dies and leaves his skin
Walking on thin ice
Telepathy
Life is an unknown course
Those who meet must part
