I knew that seeing this part of the manga animated was gonna be good, but they really knocked it out of the park. I remember reading these chapters and realizing: "Oh, this isn't just a funny cute story with some drama here and there, this is going to have some very well done tragic and heartfelt moments too." It also made me understand just how much Empathy seems to be a core pillar of this story.
I was reading the manga for the wholesome romance and weird but funny paranormal sheananingans, I wasn't ready to be emotionally destroyed by chapters 16 and 17, they adapted them beautifully
@@alastorcorvusspoiler alert for non reader: Vamola backstory absolutely decimated me when I read it, the mother just breaking down when she sent her was 😢
Aira is not the little girl that Silky lost. The little girl was kidnapped by gangsters. Aira's mother had pink hair like her, they showed her at the funeral. Silky was just confused because as a spirit she couldn't remember the details of her life, child Aira reminded her of part of it (that she had a daughter) but she mistakenly fixated on Aira, a different little girl who had lost her mother.
Not to mention ghost/spirit that didn’t pass over,carried the exact immediate conditions before their death. That concussion definitely brought memory loss.
This is my nth time watching this episode and I'm still shedding tears from every viewing..."Mommy, thank you for all you do." That line breaks me so bad every time for some reason.
This hits really hard for me as I two young kids that is practically my whole world, and I brace through whatever difficulty in life without complain because of them. Many single parents go through this same situation as what this episode shows so this is very realistic struggle of the working class.
@@kriskilins really hope you read the manga version of this episode the creator goes into way more detail of the acrobatic lady backstory the chapter in the manga is 16 and 17 it gave me goosebumps and mad my skin crawl🙏🏽 go please read!
Aira got my respect in this episode, after it made me cry like a child I noticed that Aira hugged her so she could go in peace, even though not her girl, she did gave her closure.
The background of the story is set in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s. After that time, due to the economic collapse in Japan, a large number of people faced layoffs and bankruptcy. At that time, many people did not realize how bad the economic situation was and chose to borrow loan sharks from the underworld in order to start over. But later they found that not only could they not start over, they could not even repay the loan sharks, so they had to use various methods to make money. This led to the tragedy in the film that the underworld violently collects debts and even abducts children.
I think the only anime episodes that had me SOBBING have been Ennies lobby ( Robin's backstory and the Merry's death), Cora-san and Law's backstory, Otoko and Yasui, Kuma's backstory and now this.
they didnt show it cause japanese gov has fostered a culture that chews workers up and spits them out, and instead of addressing the problem through systemic change, they made laws that forbid it to be shown and made it taboo to talk about. crazy how its still a 10/10 without the best panel from the manga
The animators of this series really outdid themselves with this episode. The pink-haired girl's backstory was absolutely tragic, but this episode was still the best one of the series.
After science saru delivered an episode like this, we realized that Dandadan is not just fighting, comedy, romance, slice of life and supernatural. Dandadan has just become something special in the world of anime (and from what little I know about the Manga, there will be a lot more of what we saw today). Science Saru, please don't make Dandadan just another one or two season anime. It's an anime that deserves much more and will win over even more fans. Please do not cancel or leave the anime unfinished. Continue for many years. 🙏 To those who read this comment, recommend this work to your friends. I don't want it to be just a Peak for a year or two. dandadan won my heart
The moment she woke up feeling lost, before Aira met her, she had already turned into a ghost. I thought first this was just a souvenir but, both her eyes were fixed-on the rooftop it wasn't the case, she had a patch, which also tells she looked for her daughter for a while before... When Aira met her, she was a ghost. She was following her all along. Children are more sensitive at young age and can see things sometimes until they grow up and forget... It's when Aira connected with the ghost, it remembered its lost, then turned out into a Yokai. Aira could see, but lost her ability growing up until she get the ball... Silky couldn't attack her as Aira wasn't able to notice her. Until that moment in the school the silky lady was only following her; making sure she'd be safe as she vowed, until Aira noticed her, and activate within Silky what Yokai does to the living, who notice them... This isn't just a show; the writer knows his stuff about spirit and ghost... and the sad misery that happens to some ppl, in Japan, before they past away to the underworld-for that lady, unfortunately, this was both literal and figurative 😢
@watchdogman2777 maybe bc the anime made in a little vague about the suicide scence and the chasing scene. I think many will presume that she died on that street and the ballet was just after she's dead.
@@pabloesco2007same i like anime version better because it invokes something rather than manga version showed and imagine something. Same conclusion though. On other hand manga had better background explanation of why the daughter was being kidnapped.
It really broke me when i watched it 😭😢 and made me miss my mom so much I loved how they showed the bond between mother and daughter through purely with emotions and without any dialogue😢😢
Aira is not the little girl that Silky lost. The little girl was kidnapped by gangsters. Aira's mother had pink hair like her, they showed her at the funeral.
Loved how the episode was done. This was what completely sold me on the manga back when it started and made it one of my top 5 mangas of all time (and it gets even better somehow). I'd recommend checking out how it was done in the manga too since it's a little different but both hit hard in different ways!
I read the manga but i'll never though this anime's version was so awesome made (Animations & music). It's really a plus to the Manga, i re-discover this moment. More infos about this poor woman, she worked in so many jobs even prostitution then when she lost her child, she made a last dance a jump from a building/balcony. Aira and the Yokai share a same pain, the lost of their loved one Mother/daughter and they share at the end this pain and this forgiveness/appeasement. Good job to staff who made this episode.
Always fun to watch new comers expecting potty humour, actions and romcon got hit by the UP montage of DanDaDan. Never gets old. Giving praised to Mrs Kikuko Inoue(Silky VA), she had tweet out stating that going all out on ep7 and hope everyone watch it. In her 60s and still giving fantastic performance, convey a lot with a few lines and just breathing.👏truly a good produtcion with heart and sweat.
Thanks a lot for your great reaction😊....this ep insane😭😭😭...some female animators created it, 'Kana Ito' also producted JJK 41ep(Sukuna vs Mahoraga?)...it is awsome ! Definitely so heavily sad story, a single woman multi-work (even sexual work ? her lonely bed scene...) for her child😱...this ep be exceed than manga, in my opinion...😳 i hoping next.
how she becomes a "yokai" , she was a wondering spirit with no purpose because she didn't remember , aira as a little kid , i assume she was 4 or 5 , saw her confusing her for her mom because ,ive read, that little kids since there pure and innocent can see far more things in the world that adult eyes cant , that's why she was able to see the spirit , and she thinking aira was her daughter gave her purpose for her to cling to the living world still has her protector spirit , i would think this is one of the reasons why aira believes her self to be like a very special kid because everything has gone her way and nothing "bad" has ever happen to her after silkis spirit latched on to her
Not everyone is a crier, but I'm a grown man and that shit broke me. I'm surprised you didn't cry. Not judging, just.. wow. You sure you didn't see this already?
Damn those ninjas cutting onions 😭 Put these criminals in jail! 😡 Who are these guys, you may ask? While it wasn't explicitly explained in the manga, we can piece together their identity from similar stories in anime/manga, movies, other shows and real life. These men are most likely debt collectors or loan sharks whom she owed money to, possibly from debts inherited from her husband who either left or died. The debt must have been so substantial that she needed to work multiple jobs just to make payments. When the mother decided to treat her daughter to a new dress, she likely couldn't make her payment, which triggered the horrific scenario below. These criminals probably took her daughter to exploit her for money to settle the debt (use your imagination). It's a harsh reality, but sadly, scenarios like this happen all over the world. Life can indeed be very cruel.
So they ruined it for your... it hits 5 times harder if you don't expect it, especially from a goofy show. I remember they did the same thing to you during Frieren Ep 14....
La yakuza la volvio prostitutA para QUE pague sus deudas cuand no pudO pagar le quitaron a su hija lo mas probable es QUE pasara como denji QUE hereda las deudas en el ultimo panel diceQUEk se reencontraron en el cielo y esa yokai no es la madre de aira PORQUE tiene pelo negro y aira de niña tiene pelo rosado y en funeral se ve k su madre tbm tiene pelo rosado la ypkai se obsesiona con aira xk ella la vio de niña cuand aun era un fantasma normal

It's not exactly that. The mother was also a prostitute and the manga suggests that the men sent by the pimp who are known to charge absurd fees.
Idk if it's just me but the way Yukinobu Tatsu cooks unexpected gourmet level backstory reminds me so much of Oda's and I love it.

Those weren’t stars; they were city lights. She went on a roof and danced off the ledge and killed herself

Don't you mean Acrobatic Silky's? The pink haired girl (Aira) did lose her mom as a child, but it wasn't the main tragedy of the story.
