50 free Durarara!! trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Durarara!! drops a shy teenager into Ikebukuro and then follows everyone he bumps into: a headless courier hunting for her stolen head, a schemer who treats the whole district as an experiment, the strongest man in the city, and gangs that exist mostly online. Each episode switches narrator, so the story only comes together where the pieces overlap. This quiz covers both seasons of the anime and the light novels behind them. Expect questions on Celty, Izaya, Shizuo, Mikado, Masaomi and Anri, on the gang wars and the cursed sword, on single episodes such as the fourth, and on the author, the studios, the theme songs and the voice cast in Japanese and English. It opens with questions any viewer can get and ends with deep cuts for people who have read the novels, and Izaya fans get a generous share. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so a wrong guess still teaches you something about the series.
