Ladd's crazy, but at least he's coherent. Graham is very seriously the most unpredictable character in the series. Even Ladd isn't as out of his fucking gourd as him. (Although Ladd is clearly the better fighter of the two.)
What's so funny about the Naritaverse (the universe that contains Baccano! And Durarara!!) Is that you have immortals, hommuncli, a dullahan and a sword spirit but you have normal humans who don't have super powers but have really good instinct and super strength like Shizuo, and Izaya with his knives. Of course obviously there's the cast of baccano who there are too many to name in the top of my head considering there's a whole lot more in the LNs. But then you have two others which haven't been translated by Yen Press nor made into a anime. (Except the MMA fighter Traugott Geissendorfer from the series Vamp! who made an appearance in durarara x2 shou ova and made a cameo appearance on a poster in x2 ten in the dojo where izaya's twin sisters go to even shizuo fought him in the ova and very much respects him even ran iizumi respects him.) back to what I was saying, you have vamp, which a series about vampires and werewolves that are made from different things like there's a fucking t-rex vampire, a vampire born from watermelon etc. And Etsusa Bridge which has no supernatural shit just mafia and gangs (Basically bungou stray dogs without supernatural ablities.) and you have a character who catches fucking bullets in his hand and it's like "?!?...what?!?"
Ladd, Claire and Graham all seem to have super human strength (on varying levels). Some of the other characters are impressive, but at the end of the day there are limits that humans just can’t break through. Even by anime standards, those three aren’t normal.
Since this is set in the same world as Durarara, there seems to be a type of really tough guys here. For example, in Durarara a guy named Rocchi jumped off a 6 story building basically twice and then walked like it was nothing for him. Or a guy named Ran Izumii, who got punched really hard in the head, but instead of flying away, he stood like a brick wall, and the dude who punched him broke his hand. And I'm not even talking about Shizuo.
The GloryXros Yeah, this was. I fucking laughed my ass off with Graham's barrage of nonsense "HEY! "YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHIGN WRONG CAN YOU?? Thanks to my loud attack you don't have to come with some lame ass excuse."
Ladd level was Simon, Claire level was Shizuo and the Demon Ronny himself so yeah. I think Ladd is great but he still need a very huge luck to kilk Claire without killing himself
I think if that fight went on longer Ladd COULD have won. I know, I know. For what we DID see of the fight, Clair had the upper hand but he never really did much besides make Ladd angry from what I remember. He finished the fight by tricking Ladd into jumping off the train to save his girl.
@@andreuva4782Ne, Claire's strategy in every fight I remember is to just never get hit, and wait until his opponent makes a mistake or gives up. He shows no signs of exerting himself for even his most superhuman stunts, while his opponents wear themselves out. If Lua hadn't arrived, Ladd would've made some other mistake eventually instead.
@@zephyrkds1839comparing him to Shizuo is overestimating him. I think it would make much more sense if you compare him to Rocchi, which is still pretty much impressive tho. Or Izumii, as you want. Or we can say that he is just somewhere in the middle between Rocchi and Shizuo.
Before anyone could get further ahead of him he sent his crew to start dismantling the framing device, carry out everyone else's story arcs and bring them back to his warehouse to start taking them apart apart apart apart
Nah, he makes Shizuo look relatively sane, and he's STILL being shipped with a blonde Russian chick who's a different take on being crazy & immature than Ladd.
+RangerRivet Anti-hero? Sure, he leads the Russo family to kill other mobsters, but innocent people? An "anti-hero" he is not. That aside, he is pretty great.
Nhat Lam NGUYEN objectively good deeds (like attempting to kill the trail tracer) for the wrong reasons (because he loves killing, not because the rail tracer is evil).
RangerRivet that's not really a good deed. it's just coincidental meeting. besides, you can argue that the rail tracer isn't even evil so Ladd isn't doing anybody a favor by killing the guy
Graham's story doesn't actually make any sense. Not only is it absurd that he formed a crater in the ground with his wrench but couldn't hurt Ladd, Ladd's shotgun fired single bullets instead of a spray of shot and cleanly killed the guy across the room. Which suggests that either Graham is lying or he completely misremembers things and as convinced himself that's how things actually went down between himself and Ladd.
It's not realistic but other than this scene the show has always been consistent. Plus Graham is crazy and keeps changing his perspective on things in the blink of an eye.
Well there are shotguns that actually fire slugs instead of pellets as well as pump action rifles sooooo, plus you can clearly see that Ladds gun has a rifle shell popping out of it not a not a shotgun shell.
Okay, I know immortals exist in this anime. But this guy slammed a large wrench into the ground. Which caused such heavy damage. That it's not natural.
Hated this fight. Pretty much every prior fight was pretty well grounded within the bounds of human strength. And then we have this episode which just randomly jumps from 5 to 11 in terms of strength.
Probably don't read the books then, it gets even more insane. Claire Stanfield basically eclipsing superhumans by the dozen, in fights he intentionally stacked against himself.
They met again at a Casino a few years later but Ladd lost. No one has ever defeated Claire in the novels. He's the most powerful human in the Naritaverse and he's an equal to Ronnie, an actual omnipotent being.
It's a shame Ladd is not immortal like Firo and Maiza,Czechslaw,And Isaac ?...Would've made him a much better Anti-hero..(Are Isaac and Firo Immortal though?)
So the immortals that can heal decapitations, impalement, bullets to the head, etc, vampires who can consume bodies whole and all the other shit didn't do that first?
Ladd is the LAST person who should be calling anyone crazy. 😂😂
Damn straight
Like the pot calling the kettle black.
Exactly.
I'd less say he's crazy and more strange. He's fully aware of what he's doing, he's just a bit of a freak.
Ladd's crazy, but at least he's coherent.
Graham is very seriously the most unpredictable character in the series. Even Ladd isn't as out of his fucking gourd as him. (Although Ladd is clearly the better fighter of the two.)
Graham Spector, a man so insane he makes Ladd Russo seem sane.
dem accents. one of the best dubs out there for that alone.
I just stumbled upon here after watching the Hellsing and Red Lagoon dubs. It's a wonderful ride.
@@hobo.violin7595 you mean Black Lagoon?
Dat voice...someone get him... a Grahammy.
Ah. I see what you did there...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) i see what you did there
Bryan Massey.
😂😂😂😂
This...this is a lot of crazy for just one room.
I personally find it hilarious that LADD of all people referred to this guy as a 'nut job' XD
Well Ladd is more homicidal and dangerous but Graham is more eccentric and non-coherent. So in a way Graham is a bit crazier than Ladd.
Duelling psychos - great to watch.
I forgot how nuts the characters of Bacano are, still my favourite anime ever tho, and that's really saying something
what about Durarara
+Couro Athie It is fairly good but Baccano is better
Truong M Pham ikr
Narita Ryohgo really fucking loves crazy people. i wish he could do a Batman adaptation.
Graham Specter is so crazy he warps the laws of physics to his very will.
Or at least, that's what I like to think happened here.
In the sequel there's a character who has the same strength as Graham. It is weird how he didn't kill Ladd with that wrench.
I'm pretty sure that Claire. Ladd. And Graham are all in the same "so insane they become superhuman" catagory

Funny in sub, but menacing in dub.
Umm...is this scene meant to be funny?
The GloryXros Yeah, this was. I fucking laughed my ass off with Graham's barrage of nonsense "HEY! "YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHIGN WRONG CAN YOU?? Thanks to my loud attack you don't have to come with some lame ass excuse."
Those two could totally be related.
Ladd does see specter as a brother
The gunshot sounds in this series are my favorite
Voice acting done right. Fuckin love these two
God I love Graham
I just love how these two are just normal humans.
One of my favorite characters of all time. He's insane but yet so smart and sticks to his beliefs. I find that admirable
Just for reference:
Claire thought Ladd was a joke.
Ladd level was Simon, Claire level was Shizuo and the Demon Ronny himself so yeah. I think Ladd is great but he still need a very huge luck to kilk Claire without killing himself

So this is an anime where all the crazys get together and become friends in a weird way
When one crazy meets another...
You’re one of three things in this anime: Immortal, a psychopath, or both.
Graham Specter stole the whole damn show right before it ended
Before anyone could get further ahead of him he sent his crew to start dismantling the framing device, carry out everyone else's story arcs and bring them back to his warehouse to start taking them apart apart apart apart
I wanna marry this guy he gives the joker a run for his money in the crazy department
You don't know how okay I am with that sugar~❤️♥️
Uhh...which one?
Graham but I like Ladd to so both
***** but I dont sleep at night
Yay!!
Specter is a mini Ladd eyyyy
0:57 that short temper and power, is Graham a relative of shizuo heiwajima?
Nah, he makes Shizuo look relatively sane, and he's STILL being shipped with a blonde Russian chick who's a different take on being crazy & immature than Ladd.
Could be
i want this show on dvd but WHY THE HECK IS IT SO EXPENSIVE!!!
My question is
Why isn't this on the funimation app?
3:29 Oh That's right...(POP)
Graham is 3rd favourite character my 1st is Claire Stanfield 2nd Jaccuzi Splot
Graham Spectre. The only character on The show I like as much as Ladd.
I second that.
If you love yangires, Baccano is the best show for you
Ladd is probably my favorite anti-hero
+RangerRivet Anti-hero? Sure, he leads the Russo family to kill other mobsters, but innocent people? An "anti-hero" he is not. That aside, he is pretty great.
Ladd does what is, in the grand scheme of things, a good deed, but for his own psychotic reasons.
He is an Anti Hero. That's what an anti hero does.
+RangerRivet um, I'm not sure what good deed you're talking about here. Ladd is basically a guy who worships Death.
Nhat Lam NGUYEN objectively good deeds (like attempting to kill the trail tracer) for the wrong reasons (because he loves killing, not because the rail tracer is evil).
RangerRivet that's not really a good deed. it's just coincidental meeting. besides, you can argue that the rail tracer isn't even evil so Ladd isn't doing anybody a favor by killing the guy
lol everytime 3:30
Damn that Graham is one badass mofo
Honestly I thought Graham was jumping the shark a little on how anime he was
I kinda like it. Graham is an over the top anime character, but he lost against someone who was an above average person
Graham's story doesn't actually make any sense. Not only is it absurd that he formed a crater in the ground with his wrench but couldn't hurt Ladd, Ladd's shotgun fired single bullets instead of a spray of shot and cleanly killed the guy across the room.

Bruh there are some rifles that have pump action, and the show was never meant to be realistic like immortals walking around in the anime.

Well there are shotguns that actually fire slugs instead of pellets as well as pump action rifles sooooo, plus you can clearly see that Ladds gun has a rifle shell popping out of it not a not a shotgun shell.
Keep in mind this is his warped interpretation of events, he is an unreliable narrator
To be fair this series takes place 80 so years prior to the events of durarara and in that series Shizuo exists.
Graham Specter - one of the most bipolar characters I have ever seen
Graham Spector is my second favourite character in this series.
1:43 ¡wow!
Graham looks a lot like Viral from Gurren Lagann lol
whoa is he supernaturally strong for a reason or is it Shizuo situation?
Graham makes me act unwise
Everytime I hear his voice I think of the Kishin Asura
Okay, I know immortals exist in this anime. But this guy slammed a large wrench into the ground. Which caused such heavy damage. That it's not natural.
What about dulahanns and cursed swords obsessed with loving humans through cutting them. Because they also exist.
@@lunerblade13 True.

@@FolstrimHori you do realize the creator also made Durarara, the one with Shizuo Heiwajima
@@FolstrimHori also bounds of human strength? Claire says othereise
How the hell did he survive that?
1:01 That's very exaggerated
who's better. ladd or graham.
Graham is a lot more interesting and likable to me, but Ladd is more powerful.
Ladd is so fucking obnoxious I just wish someone would shoot him in his big ass mouth. I like Graham quite a bit though.
@@memyself6659 APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF LADD'S FANS FOR THAT INSULT TO HIS BEHAVIOR! HE'S EPIC BECAUSE HE'S OBNOXIOUS!
Ladd is a run-of-the-mill bloodthirsty maniac, while Graham is one of God's own prototypes, too weird to live and too rare to die
In the manga, did Ladd ever get his revenge of Claire?
They met again at a Casino a few years later but Ladd lost. No one has ever defeated Claire in the novels. He's the most powerful human in the Naritaverse and he's an equal to Ronnie, an actual omnipotent being.
@@timedragon1 well no, he's still on par with the human shizuo hewajima
@@jadenbillings5772 hes way stronger bruh
What is the music during the fight?
Does anyone know what gun does ladd use?
Pump action rifle I think
This sounds like a version of Dexter Morgan where he kills other killers 😈
It's a shame Ladd is not immortal like Firo and Maiza,Czechslaw,And Isaac ?...Would've made him a much better Anti-hero..(Are Isaac and Firo Immortal though?)
yes both issac and miria also firo as well are immortal
Afro Mations i thought you said vino. but yes they immortals
Being immortal would probably go against Ladd's belief system.
He isn't an antihero, he is a very evil man
@@jeffersondemott2125 He's a psychopathic manchild. WHATCHA EXPECT FROM A GUY WHO KILLS HIS UNCLE IN THE MANGA?!
And just like that, this show lost all sense of realism.
So the immortals that can heal decapitations, impalement, bullets to the head, etc, vampires who can consume bodies whole and all the other shit didn't do that first?
Chris Stark apparently not
Ship
ok, to be honest, Graham was my least favorite character (i liked him even less than Jacuzzi)
HAH?!
that voice is a graham xD ...
although personally I did not like the Ladd ...
