Poor Momo, her first love and childhood friend are TikToker. No wonder her brain tried to completely erase it from her memory.

Okarun-kun was kinda eclipsed this episode by Jiji’s appearance, but he mustn’t give up. That guy, Jiji, is too expressive and funny. Maybe Momo still likes him, but we don’t know yet.

That side story of Taro and Kana was amazing, it was so funny how he run away till he found her in the trash😂

The new guy is cringey, but in a funny way. I wonder if that is going to end up being the real golden ball. Seems kinda too soon for them to find it.

Another good episode
Jiji is an interesting character so far especially how he switches his personality and demeanor.
I love how even momos friends came inbetween jiji and momo saying "she already has Okarun"

Love to see it.

Okarun needed a little push and thanks to taro he got it.

@Marinate1016 Could you be any less self-aware?

I'm not the one getting a half dozen different people flaming me for stirring shit up, saying stupid shit, gaslighting people by editing your comments they respond to, or making ignorant claims on this thread. That's you. You are the person everyone else is saying is a chore to deal with because you are unwilling to engage in any kind of thoughtful manner with them. You just dump your shit everywhere and when people complain about the smell you get mad and block them over it.

It's juvenile behavior. Grow up.
@Seansy Dont bother with them honestly.

I've seen them doing more toxic stuff on other threads like wishing death upon characters for no reason and even on reddit forums indirectly attacking other fans, talking shit etc.

For someone who claims to travel the world and having multiple degrees, quite immature behavior honestly. pfft

Well Jiji turned out to be just plain goofy, so Ken no longer has to worry about him stealing his girl, but I’m ngl I kinda like him lol, definitely very unique at least. His story about his house was cool tho, I got some horror vibes from it and it looks like in the next episode we’re actually going to said house, I really hope they can keep that spooky feel going for it.

Most unexpected bit of the episode tho was that free-running anatomical model lol, they brought back that classical remix again which really fit this scene too, I honestly have a lot of respect for that model just full-boaring it like that for the one he loves, and just when you thought this scene was just dumb fun and had nothing to do with anything, it ended up tying back into Ken’s relationship with Momo with some great ost to accompany it, very well done scene. And next week it’s actually ending, the mega hit Dandadan will be over, it kinda feels like not a great stopping point but let’s hope another season happens, I think it’s possible but you never know.

Oh no i love this episode, there so much thing in it, the new boy Jiji that is goofy ikemen and Okarun seem jealous over him, Momo is the best girl, her dedication toward the family jewel is inspiring. The skeleton is so unnecessarily dramatic and romantic. Perhaps Okarun learn something from him

wait only one episode left? gonna miss the wacky yet heart feeling supernatural adventure

@Marinate1016 Ah yes, Marinate, I remember this little twerp in the Ragna Crimson forum blocking users because he was wrong about something and I know, because I was one of the users he blocked, me, a manga reader, lol.

This little twerp had no idea what he was talking about there and when users challenged him about it he started blocking people, a very immature behavior, and look how he's even afraid to engage xZabuzax when he told him that he's wrong about it in this thread, and I will step in to engage that little twerp as well, you are wrong, and the reason you are afraid to even try to defend yourself about it is because you know that you are wrong.

Next time be a man and admit that you are wrong about something instead of blocking users like the little twerp that you are.

Would you look at that. Jiji is seemingly pretty cringe and full of personality lolll.

Although that doesn't make me hate jiji completely ofc but just a bit of dislike. Anyways the biggest point of this episode is the whole chase sequence with the anatomical model Taro was quite a delight to see with sakuga here and there which was pretty neat to see it!

Sad about the next episode being the last of this first season but it looks like they'll rlly hype the next arc in the last episode for the next season/cour which is a big yippee!!

Another episode of "What the f*CK???", and we got one episode of hopefully more of that left. This season flew by fast and surely felt shorter than the 12 episodes it was. I don't mind if the last episode ends on a cliffhanger, just as long as it's another banger.

Another filler ahh episode. What's up with this show setting up stuff and then not dealing with it? Silky's little innocent baby daughter got kidnapped by the thugs that killed her, maybe investigate that? Nah. This guy has a powerful ghost in his house that's probably connected to the ball? Sorry we have the most cliche romcom school stuff to do.

I was not expecting Jiji to have that kind of personality. He's pretty fun, I guess, although I could see him getting kind of annoying after a while. His backstory is definitely intriguing, though! I'm looking forward to next week's episode to see the resolution of that plot. I hope his parents will be OK.

In other news, Okarun might soon get his last ball back! I thought the love story between the two anatomic mannequins was pretty moving. He loved her eve, without his heart. <3

I liked the episode and all but the new guy got me cringing a bit, he's kinda like Zenitsu and I hate Zenitsu, these obnoxious over-the-top characters get on my nerves. Since he got introduced I will let it slide this time, but if they start overusing that over-the-top, obnoxious schtick with the new guy I will be pissed and this anime will start losing quality for me because an annoying character can, in fact, ruin an anime to me.

So for now I'm skeptical about the new guy, let's see how this will play out.

The part I loved about the episode was the grandma getting played at and saying that he's a genius and even giving him free food, that part was hilarious.
@xZabuzax Zenitsu? Oh, man that's a serious slagging. Savage, simply savage. But I can't say I disagree.

@Pizzaluver My brother in christ that child is DEAD and has been dead for a while. Picture this, Acro Silky killed herself long ago, so much that it made her a lingering spirit.

And the Cursed House is quite literally the next arc, which starts next season. This thing with Taro will be pretty useful in the next season too, but you will need to see it.

So Jiji is just a charming goofball with no shame about pulling weird faces, isn't he? Well, at least according to the girls in universe he seems to be handsome in doing and just right out embarrassing in a way. Okarun is still conflicted about how he feels about Momo and more so now with this newcomer. But let it stay on the side since we now have an anatomy man running in pursuit of a doll... yeah this show is weird.

@Pakumen- Are you sure? Are they sure? In any case, investigate, and if the girl's dead, avenge both her and Silky by killing the thugs or something. At least do the "I found this newspaper from ten years ago in the library, it says that the Silky's incident was investigated by the police, the killers were arrested, and the girl was saved", or something, may I have a crumb of payoff? "We won't forget you, Silky, we promise! But we won't care about you either lol"

I sure hope that postponing interesting stuff until the next season was worth it because I am tired of these misunderstanding-driven jealousy plots every other episode and tired ass comedy every every episode.

Jiji, my beloved, Jiji my GOAT, I originally wanted to watch this series for him only, I'm glad I found even more things I love in this before even his debut. 1 episode left? I wonder how it will end.

@GakutoDeathGlare Jiji is just an hyperactive character-type, I actually like him since he doesn't felt out of place in shows like Dandadan.

@Pizzaluver Here is the culture shock, my friend, do you know what the yakuza are? If you do, then delete your bullshit, you say that the police should do something? What are they going to do for a random girl who got involved with dangerous people? She is already dead, it is a reality, history makes it clear that she has no external family apart from her daughter. The world is not the United States or any other first world place.And yes, they should do something to shame them, but what are they going to do? The same plot tells you that Aira told the acrobatic mom to rest in peace with her daughter. And what do you want her to do more? To fly and kill all the yakuza in Japan to avenge them? You criticize for the sake of criticizing and you only disappoint yourself, GIGA loser.

@Pizzaluver Well I have been reading the manga for years so yes, pretty sure.
Also the flashback with Acro Silky is not to highlight her death, but rather show you the struggle of a mother against a cruel world, not a revenge story.

There will be at least 2-3 more flashbacks that are very emotional with "bad endings" so those ties will stay loose.

@Marinate1016 Wow, I can't believe you from all people here especially on MAL to defend Aj Beckles's obvious racism which included the blackwashing pic and his past racist comments towards people from other race 2 years ago and your comment saying lightening the skin of black characters is bad but doing the opposite is "harmless". I had high hopes for you for years but it looks like you changed and joined to the antis from Twitter/X. I'm extremely disappointed on you, not only as a fellow forum user here which I know you from many years, as an Anime fan too.

Racism is when black fan art. Come off it. Yes I stand with AJ and Lynn and all minorities who make edits of characters. Today. Tomorrow. Forever. Iron clad.

@YohanNext17 "no you see the fact that the characters witnessed an extremely serious crime and decided to do absolutely nothing about it means the anime is good actually". Idk I think Momo can use her powers to squeeze a man's heart from a mile away, nobody would ever think it was her. If the author didn't want to go in that direction, he should've shown the girl get killed on-screen. Anyway, DDD is not that grimdark, the boxer alien's wife was saved by milk ffs

@Pizzaluver wait, are you serious about what you're saying? XD, if you know that the main characters don't need humans right? why would that be? friend, isn't this an edgy work that everything is resolved with revenge? but putting the case where Momo goes and kills them, after that what? there were still cases like that of the acrobat, "no but I'll get her" what's the point of that if they've already died justifying death for another death doesn't lead to anything. Also it seems you don't understand the essence of dandadan, the milk thing is to explain why many farmers reported that UFOs took their cows 30, 40 years ago, DDD is an homage to all those paranormal stories of ghosts and aliens and tries to give them a bizarre justification, if you don't understand that I don't know what you're doing watching DDD, also the shrimp doesn't use the milk to save his waifu, literally the anime tells you that she died, he does it to save his daughter, that shows that you're only criticizing for the sake of criticizing, seriously if you're going to watch a anime watch it carefully, if you don't like it, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

@Pizzaluver It's a bit obvious the girl was killed by the yakuza, some things are scarier if the author left her fate open especially considering they were dealing with the yakuza. Also Dandadan is just a mix of different genres.

That new dude gave a good first impression, but turned out to be a cringe and annoying clown. Never judge a book by its cover, eh? Anyway, he somehow managed to be even more annoying than Aira, lol.

I liked the chase after the running mannequin. It had a very wholesome conclusion. Okarun also managed to fully understand feelings he has towards Momo. :)

Why can't Okarun pick up on social clues from Momo? She clearly has feelings for him and he’s missing all the signs. He thinks Jiji’s a threat, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I hope he learns quickly before the chance passes him by. Jiji’s a class clown and a childhood friend, nothing more. Plus he can see some spirits, so they have that in common. Also, he’s cringe AF! The running biology dummy was weird but hilarious. I wonder how they’ll deal with the spirit haunting Jiji’s house. It will be wild, as usual. 🤣🤣
