A MOTHER'S LAST WISH/A BALLERINA'S LAST PERFORMANCE || DAN DA DAN Episode 7 Reaction

[@DandrebBernardes]

For clarification: In Japanese culture, it is believed that children up until the age of 7 can see spirits, because their souls have not yet solidified. Their souls are considered half-spirit. When they grow older, their souls solidify and they lose the ability to see spirits. That's why Aira was able to see Acro Silky when she was a little kid (especially since she was only recently touched by death with the death of her mother, whom you see in that coffin), and that's why she didn't realize Silky was there when she grew older. Okarun's Golden Ball then made her see spirits again. After her last dance on top of a building, Silky leapt off to her death, hence the thud that you hear. She did it because she knew that there was no hope for her daughter after she failed to catch up to that car (those loan sharks aren't exactly kind to people that owe a debt, so Silky's daughter was most likely organ harvested). Since she died with regrets, she turned into a lingering, restless spirit with her memories in shambles, and that's the state she was in when Aira met her. When Aira called her mother, some fragments of her memory resurfaced, and she projected her daughter unto Aira. And those lingering regrets over not being able to save her daughter turned her into that overprotective yokai monster. It's a tough scene, way tougher than anyone expected, even for those of us that had read the manga and knew what was to come. We thought we were prepared, and we weren't. At least we can assume that Silky was able to reunite with her daughter in a kinder world, like Aira had wished for them, since there's a last image of her with her little daughter (which means that her daughter was killed back then) in the manga after she fades away in this world. And I still think that Turbo Granny said all that shit and that there's nothing strangers could do to push Aira into action, since she knew that for Silky Aira wouldn't be a stranger and would be the only one out of all of them to be able to give peace to her soul.

You raise some great points. The suicide wasn't apparent upon first watch and I had to rewatch that scene again to hear the thud. It's definitely a change away from the fast pace comical tempo we've seen on the show so far

at the end of her dance she off herself by throwing herself out of the building, when small Aira saw her she's already a ghost , it just turn into a Yokai because of her great sense of protecting her because that's the thing she failed to do in her past life

Good catch, I just rewatched that scene and you can hear the thump of her landing on the ground. Thank you for the insight
