@@leonardohenrique5172 It's already one of those anime where you question if it can officially be paired with the likes of JJK, AoT, Chainsaw Man, and the many other masterpiece anime. I hate how fast every episode ends
@@Padurin Let's be real, the storytelling of this show is better than JJK and Chainsaw Man, those shows are very much your typical Shonen, that isn't bad, but they aren't complex. AoT and Frieren have actual top tier storytelling, and this show is on par with those just using a different angle. Instead of being a slice of life adventure story with existential regret mixed in like Frieren, or a war drama with intense emotional range like AoT, it is a supernatural action romcom and it tells the story just as well as the other two.
The mother either owed money, or was being pimped out by the thugs. You see her take some money out of the envelope to buy the dress, and that's why they took her daughter away. You got her mother dancing on the rooftop and jumping off perfectly. It is so beautiful how at the end, despite the two of them not knowing each other, Acrobatic Silky was able to understand the love that her daughter always will have for her through Aira, and Aira was able to understand the love that her mother will always have for her through Acrobatic Silky.
In the manga, the dance is a lot more explicit, its shorter but it shows you her falling and jumping off the building, this was done beautifully though
@@crist3809 i agree but i guess people will ask how did she get to the top of a bldg without no one noticing. but her jumping off the bldg scene ugh perfection
Yeah I think that’s the only major issue I’ve got with the episode. They could’ve used the ED to show the two of them walking together in the afterlife, instead of a silly song. Maybe I’m used to rezero and the fact it’ll cut or use different songs for the ending when necessary.
One thing that I love about Momo's character, is that while she is obviously a tough, take no BS kinda girl, she also has this sweet empathetic nature that is usually running about 2 steps behind that attitude. Seeing her tearing up at the tunnel due to the loss of all the young girls there, and here full on weeping for a spirit that literally ate her moments ago, really makes her so endearing.
yeah i feel her character is defined by basic compassion and empathy towards others, even people she might dislike or have no strong connection with at first. besides the examples that you mentioned, literally her first instinct upon seeing okarun being bullied by his classmates is to protect him.
Momo is amazing and I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who really liked that moment where Momo desperately, protectively snapped at Okarun to leave her alone. She just stops seeing Silky as a monster at all the moment she understands her, and her empathy immediately steps into the spot where fear was.
@@fridaythirteenth2051 The moment that made me instantly love her character was when she rightfully ripped into Okarun for being incredibly obnoxious, and then immediately realized she went overboard by insulting his obvious insecurities and apologized.
When a child looking for her mother meets a mother looking for her child 😭😭😭 peak writing. Also in the manga, it shows Silky with her daughter going to the afterlife together, implying her daughter's fate. "Please let no one hurt them. Let them be happy. Let them go to a kinder world" hits you like a ton of bricks
The manga was much more explicit with what happened to Silky in that flashback, props to you on picking up on things even when they were pretty subtle about it. I'm glad the anime adapted it quite well in the end. Bawled my eyes out the first time I read the manga chapter, still do now with it being animated, probably cried even more even knowing what was going to happen 😭
My thought is that Aira, who had just lost her mother, and Acrobat Silky, who was still just a wandering spirit feeling like she lost something, were both in just the right mental state for them to see each other.
I bawled my eyes out when I first read this chapter, and now again seeing this. Science Saru is absolutely goated. I could not have dreamt for a better adaptation.
The writer for this show was like an apprentice and a friend to Tatsuki Fujimoto (Look Back, Chainsaw Man) and you can really tell that they have very very similar writing styles. They both just know how to hit the right story beats.
The way I interpret it, she bought the dress for her daughter from the money she owed to the guys that broke in. Which makes it so much sadder because if she'd just paid them they could have carried on at least but she just wanted to get her kid something nice for once. Hence one of the "regrets" Turbo Granny mentioned.
There's really no explanation for it in the manga. Three guys break in, steal all her savings and kidnap her daughter while beating the mother half to death. There's no dialogue in the manga during that entire flashback. So there's different ways to interpret why it happened. She's poor and working multiple jobs including prostitution. Could have just been violent criminals and child traffickers. There's really no explanation in the manga
Sadly, the ending scene confirms her daughter is dead. "Take them to a kinder world." This episode's direction was incredible. What a tragic episode...
It's implied that those guys were loan sharks that wanted the money she "owed". She used some of the money for her daughter's dress; nd then they came to mess her and took her daughter as collateral/payment.
I've been crying for a while... that was the most beautiful & devastating thing I've seen in a long time... I'm glad I didn't read the manga, cause that was just too beautiful in motion, voice, music, everything.
13:26 Sadly it was not just anybody. The mother owned money so debt collectors came into her home to grab the money she owes their boss. So also as “collateral” they took her little girl. I guess they expected her to return with more money. But the mom was so injured or knew that perhaps there is no way to find them ever again. So yes she jumped off a building. 😭
I don’t think it was collateral. I think it was them attempting to “recuperate”/make more money than they were owed back cuz she dared use some of the cash for a red dress. Reason being that there’s no way they’d expect a woman beaten half to death with a house ransacked to be able to pay the difference.
Where did you see her jump off a building? I saw her die in the street chasing after the car after collapsing from blood loss due to the giant vertical gash running down her arm that would kill anyone in ten minutes if they didn’t find a doctor
I already read the manga and braced myself so I could go through this just fine. Nope, this grown ass man started tearing up the moment Acro-Silky broke her own jaw to prove that she really wants to save Aira.
I really love that you noticed when the sound partafter falling from somewhere above the building. Most don't notice it i guess. They are clever on adapting this episode especially about suicide that is not portraited directly if you know what i mean
first gut punch of the bunch the most haunting thing is, stories like this are kinda common in japan (not exactly the same as acro silky specifically) but people having to work multiple dirty works (this applies for both men and women believe it or not) because of involvement with gangs there which sadly enough factors heavily to the high suicidal rates in japan
Dandadan is a special show that can do any genre it wants to romantic comedy action horror and tragedy and does them all incredibly well and will do all of these more and more intensely, be prepared
As a manga reader I hope this show henceforth gets more respect on its name. It CAN be haha silly funny ball show- but trust me when I say, that aint all it is. Excellent reaction as always
i think they were debt collectors, in the one scene she takes money out of the envelope to get the dress for her daughter. so im pretty sure she was short on money or sum
Brooooo I'm telling you, reading this arc before watching the anime hurts tenfold. Like you already know what's going to happen but all you can do is just cry 😭😭😭
It's really2 amazing when you think about how this anime basically started with a ghost granny wanting to gobble a young kid's weenie. But it gave us this heartwrenching n tragic backstory at Ep7. 🤯
I never thought a 23-min show would ever devastate me like this one did... What peak anime, every episode keeps me going "oh this is what cements it for me". Can't wait to read the manga!
The mother was an escort and owed money to the yakuza or violent loan sharks. She used the money she owed them to pay for her daughter's dress because she wanted to do something nice for her daughter. When they came to collect, she didn't have all the money so they took her daughter instead.
it seems like the mom owed money and was working to pay it back to the Yakuza - she took some to buy the girl a dress for her birthday and she came up short so they took the kid. Not sure what happened to her, but they're reunited at the end, so she's dead too it seems.
I think it’s awesome you caught nearly every detail of that flashback with acrobatic silky, it’s one of the reasons I always come back to watch your reactions! thank you for the video❤
"i was not expecting this show to make me emotional like that" 😈 expect more... it's honestly kinda shocking the number of heartbreaking backstories this mangaka has managed to put into this battle romcom
And now it begins the emotional rollercoaster that is dandadan one second your balling yourself with laughter and the next second your bawling your eyes out with tears
This episode was done beautifully, truly a work of art. The moment her flashback started I already cried, knowing what happened to her when she was alive. First time I read this chapter I balled my eyes out and I was really caught off guard since I thought dandadan was your typical comedy anime with a bit of shonen to it. There's more where that came from and make sure to prepare some tissues🥲
Aira- a child without a mother, gets to understand how much her mother must’ve loved and cared for her. And in return she gets to tell Silky- a mother without a child, how her daughter felt their time together was fun, special, worth living for. Beautiful narrative and emotional symmetry. Aira won’t be the same after this.
Omgggggg when I say I poured my eyesssss out ‼️😣😣😣I haven’t sad cried over show or movie in a long time I think it’s the fact that I am a mother ….i felt the horrors of her realizing her child was gone forever …..and me not having a relationship with my mother I felt the little girls pain 🤧this just hit so many nerves I couldn’t help but break down
The music in this anime is really great, but the track they picked for the flashback sequences and the way they varied it emotionally was freaking amazing.
i never thought acro silky back story will make me tear up again. ive read the manga and i already know the story, but this is so well directed and animated. manga made me tear up but made me cry in this episode 😭
So right after this i called my mum, in the middle of the night. She didnt fully understand why a japanese cartoon had made her 31 year old son emotional. But i went on a rant about how she did a fantastic job and how no matter what happened me and my sister could handle ourselves. How after her divorce it never felt like i only had one parent, and i never even felt once i was missing something despite her doing it both. And then she cried because she said it meant so much to her to know we could do it without her, how that gave her emotional room to sometimes not do so well herself as well. Good episode.
Its absolutely crazy to me how there's some weirdos actually trying to kill the hype by saying "I dont get all the buzz behind this show... Its not that special." When it has amazing action, romance, and now this. This episode was actually painful to watch. The way this show makes you empathize/sympathize with the spirits so far is so amazing.
Obviously, she was already a wandering spirit before to meet Aira just after her suicide and you can notice that Aira's Father didn't notice the woman Aira's touching. And about her ability to see her at that moment it's because Aira was young and kid sometimes get this kind of ability but also Acro silky was a new coming spirit and I guess both of them was looking about the same thing :A daughter and a mom. So they were on the same wavelength. As a manga reader which was more explicit about the backstory this is the way I got it.
Aira could see spirit as child because she still pure mind and even she couldn’t recognize that she was extremely sad,yep pure and extreme thus she could look a little bit beyond the veil. But that ability went dormant as the mind developed and the feeling went away. ManekiBaba was being callous because she had seen this scene many times over, so she did what she could do to rectify the situation by goading both Aira and Acro Silky to their action. Yeah she is petty jaded sassy plastic cat doll.
I was NOT expecting a series where a boy has to track down his missing balls to make me ugly cry.
exactly
Yes… 🤧
And this isn't even the saddest backstory
@ nope… but fortunately we get to recover before the next one. Thank goodness!

With that kind of debt collector, you will always be short on money. There's almost no escape.
Yeah with yakuza type debt collectors you will always be in debt no matter what you pay.
It's basically organised and structured robbery.

Never fails to make me cry
straight feels
I was so unprepared for this episode but it was amazing, I’m so excited to see what’s next
They seem like are yakuza, her kid must be sold for the organ
this backstory reminds me of THAT one scene in Up where they basically introduced Mr. & Mrs. Frederickson, and it still hits me like a truck
So right after this i called my mum, in the middle of the night. She didnt fully understand why a japanese cartoon had made her 31 year old son emotional. But i went on a rant about how she did a fantastic job and how no matter what happened me and my sister could handle ourselves.

And then she cried because she said it meant so much to her to know we could do it without her, how that gave her emotional room to sometimes not do so well herself as well.

This episode got heavy as hell fast. Was great. Show continues to really outdo my expectations.
The last anime to make me cry like this was oshi no Ko
i had to come here after watching this episode i havent cried about an anime like this before
Its absolutely crazy to me how there's some weirdos actually trying to kill the hype by saying "I dont get all the buzz behind this show... Its not that special." When it has amazing action, romance, and now this. This episode was actually painful to watch. The way this show makes you empathize/sympathize with the spirits so far is so amazing.
Obviously, she was already a wandering spirit before to meet Aira just after her suicide and you can notice that Aira's Father didn't notice the woman Aira's touching. And about her ability to see her at that moment it's because Aira was young and kid sometimes get this kind of ability but also Acro silky was a new coming spirit and I guess both of them was looking about the same thing :A daughter and a mom. So they were on the same wavelength. As a manga reader which was more explicit about the backstory this is the way I got it.
Aira could see spirit as child because she still pure mind and even she couldn’t recognize that she was extremely sad,yep pure and extreme thus she could look a little bit beyond the veil. But that ability went dormant as the mind developed and the feeling went away.
ManekiBaba was being callous because she had seen this scene many times over, so she did what she could do to rectify the situation by goading both Aira and Acro Silky to their action. Yeah she is petty jaded sassy plastic cat doll.
Peak Science Saru
Glad you got that she jumped.
I can't stop crying this episode make me cry so hard 😭😭😭
