    Absolutely LOVING these verbal essays on DandaDan!!!!! The fantastic attention to the innate details is so enjoyable to listen to. I actually ended up finally watching/reading DandaDan because of your essay about Okarun and Momo's relationship so thank you because now I'm fully locked in. Really appreciate all your hard work and am thoroughly looking forward to more of these!!!!!

      I can't express how honoured I am to have contributed to bringing a new fan into the Dandadan community.
      Thank you for watching my video :)) I hope you enjoy the channel going forward, friend. Your viewership is so valued.

    acro-silky’s stories absolutely shatters me so much. mom’s carry guilt like nobody’s business. they are constantly expected to be everything, to take care of everyone, to do the impossible every single day. burn out isn’t an option, especially in the case of silky. she showed up every day for her baby, and still in the end she was so worried that she hadn’t done enough. every clip and scene we see of her little girl showcases such a happy and well-cared for child that’s been loved dearly. it’s heartbreaking in every way. i feel for her character so deeply. that’s not a story i see often enough, but it’s so real. i’m grateful that aira was able to give her comfort in those final moments. that mama did her best, and she loved her baby with all of her heart. she fought as hard as she could when the unthinkable happened. i hope she was able to / will be able to reunite with her daughter someday ♥️

    Man. Brella Boy, Zuma, and Bega hit like a ton of bricks in the feels. One of the aspects about his yokai transformation is that, like the others, his personality changes but it doesn't harness any of the negative energy. Zuma becomes an even more selfless protector. To the point that he uses one of his two precious umbrellas to shield Momo from the rain. Proving one, that his good nature can also cause problems; and two, that his umbrellas aren't just weapons.

    The example of Brella Boy suggests to me that while regret, rage, etc. are the usual causes of humans becoming yokai after death in this series, it can also happen for positive reasons, reflecting how yokai in mythology were sometimes benevolent beings.

    • @safetysonrookie
      @safetysonrookie  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Honestly, it just fills me with hope. The Yokai are the embodiment of so many things we all go through in life. Brella Boy's story is overwhelming - the power of brotherhood is really something core to my soul.

    17:43 This is a lesson that was of great comfort to me back when my grandfather passed away from disease. It seemed so unfair to have his long life end, alone (he was dying from Covid before the vaccine so we were not allowed to visit him), suffering. But our death, whether it is horrific or peaceful, is only a tiny part of our life, and it shouldn't color everything that came before or determine how good the life was.

      @@safetysonrookie I am, though at the risk of getting too personal I didn't learn this lesson on my own. In a dream unlike any I've had before or since I saw my grandfather, or at least a representation of him. I felt happiness from him somehow. All he said was "you're focusing on the wrong thing," and then vanished.

      @@safetysonrookie You deserve the positivity man. It's rare to get such high quality video essays on any topic, let alone anime/manga (at least from my experience). Based on your Dandadan videos I think you have a gift for this kinda stuff, to keep such long videos engaging (tho perhaps short by some TH-cam essay standards lol) and thought provoking throughout the entire runtime. Very impressive indeed! I look forward to more from you and hope that your channel goes a long way.

      @bidityapaul939 I have no words that could express my appreciation for your comment - it really helps me want to jump straight back into working :)) thank you
      Writing that section genuinely made me well up 3 times, ngl. It really highlights the brutality that is inherent to life. Having to pick yourself up and be good is so hard - Zuma managing to overcome that pushed him near the top of my list for the series.
      I need Okarun and Momo to be official lol but I also love the slow burn so this is pretty much a perfect torture every Monday hahah

      @@safetysonrookie Very well said! I can certainly relate to trying to be the best you can be despite being given an unfavorable hand by society (tho my life isn't nearly as depressing as Zuma's lol). Goes to show you just how much a piece of fiction can make you think when it hits just right. Another thing I found very interesting that you pointed out is how the 'unseen' is highlighted so much in the story. I think that might come from the author's background before Dandadan, being a mangaka for years constantly getting his ideas rejected or cancelled, even during his time editing for Fujimoto, seeing the rest of his peers get their own manga serialized and being a hit seemingly effortlessly while Tatsu for the longest time remained 'unseen'. I couldn't imagine being in that position, feeling the things he probably did, and STILL managing to make an absolute banger like Dandadan. But that's just speculation really xD
      Btw I really like that you respond to so many comments! I think it gives a good sense of community and grows room for very interesting discussion. I read a lot of comments from your previous video and it was fascinating to see how nice and civil it all was! Very rare to see I feel especially these days.

    Excellent job conveying these stories and linking them to the main romance narrative of the series. Now I kind of dread what lesson the next yokai is going to teach. The Brella Boy was already painful enough I don't think I'm going to survive something even more heartbreaking 😭

    Very methodical in your break down. Despite my obsession with this series at first I thought that most of the antagonists were pretty superficial. Clearly this isn’t the case, but as a demon slayer fan I wish that the fights had a little more action and hype to them. I know that the space globalist arc once animated will probably deliver so let’s cross our fingers. Great breakdown

    • @safetysonrookie
      @safetysonrookie  10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    After Acro Silky, the following flashbacks didn't hit me as hard .. not until I read Zuma's. (Is his name actually supposed to be a reference to Jumanji because how did I catch that until now 😂)
    man, the way I audibly gasped at that one page showing Zuma's mother dragging him😨there's been very few times that manga rose such a visceral reaction out of me.
    Loved this video and the other one covering Momo & Okarun's relationship!

      I love that Dandadan makes me feel such a wide array of emotions.
