By definition, the gyaru style is a delinquent style. It’s going against societal conventions. So while Momo did hide that ghost aspect of herself to most ppl, she was able to find other “delinquent” friends who are vaguely interested in ghosts (they do mention any sightings they see to her) and are very accepting of Momo’s eccentricities and they all share a love of gyaru fashion.

[@theopollind8024]

[@martinarguelles165]

As an older reader, what's been awesome about dandadan is how real the romance is. There's been quite a few times momo and okarun's development reminded me of a certain point in my love life. Maybe it's a little too deep looking into this. But the romance seems to have a huge theme on believing in yourself, believing that you're worthy enough for love. And believing it like you believe in, say, ghosts and aliens. ? (Haha)

[@safetysonrookie]

Love that analysis! I suppose there is something to be said for the two characters opening up to new worlds of ghosts and aliens - and also opening up to the world of romance, too. Thanks for watching!!

[@martinarguelles165]

@@safetysonrookieYeah! Id also like to point out how over time Okarun actually ends up a pretty hot dude. It's like the less he gets in his head and the more he's motivated towards self improvement (and for the right reasons). So much about his appeal just falls into place. Its great at how changing your attitude and perspective about yourself can often be the missing piece. And how our insecurities be a sort of self fulfilling prophecy.

[@gabrielcruz6752]

If Mr. Tatsu decided that the whole Team Dan Da Dan survived the attempt of Kur invasion with almost zero trauma, I think Momokarun can survive as well. Dan Da Dan is not SNK, ChM or Netflix's Sex Education. DDDan is lighthearted even though it touches the surface of Hell, and I think Mr. Tatsu will go full with the _Power of Love_ trope saving the whole Galaxy.

[@safetysonrookie]

@gabrielcruz6752 agreed - I think that even if they did "break up" it would only last a few chapters. These two cannot help but love eachother.

[@felipedelbuedasilva239]

Why would they ever break up? It would have to be something serious, such as a hard betrayal or something similar. And, as pointed out in the video, both have met their ideal type and it just strengthens their love. However, what I think will happen is that when they begin their relationship, they'll have some turmoil keeping it, probably related to social expectations.

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

That's not happening. They are the main characters and they will end up together.

@@mooncake_onionyour right.

[@jaredhall5169]

Dude this is the best Momo/Okarun video I've ever seen. You completely nailed it! I also love how modern stories have moved from love triangles to romantic rivals. There's always one very clear ship and characters like Jiji, Aira, Zuma and Vamola are used expose the flaws of their respective romantic rivals. One of my favorite details of this is with Aira and Momo. Aira lies basically all the time, her entire public persona is an act. However, when it comes to Okarun, she is extremely honest about her attraction to him. Meanwhile, Momo is usually a very honest and forthright person-- but struggles to convey her true feelings to Okarun at every point.

[@safetysonrookie]

Ooh! I never thought about that! I guess this is part of what causes such friction between them at the start (and still now, but they're friends) because Momo and Aira are seemingly opposite. However, just like with Okarun, differences are skin deep. Thanks for such an insightful comment and thank you so much for your viewership!!

[@blueperseverance3912]

It's ironic that regardless of how over the top this series is, the characters and the raw emotion and message they project is the most real out of any of the series I've read recently.

[@safetysonrookie]

It's so raw and real, it's hard not to fall in love Thanks for watching:))

[@Paratet]

Another thing about Momo's initial reaction to her friends finding out about her and Okarun is that her insecurity caused her to assume that her friends' playful teasing was malicious. We learn, later, that her friends were responding to how differently she acted around someone she actually liked as opposed to how dispassionately reserved she was before.

[@safetysonrookie]

I love her friends - they are so good, and supportive. The way that they don't make fun of her for liking someone like Okarun is so charming. Thanks for watching :))

I've been OBSESSED with this romance. I only started watching dandadan because a friend showed me a clip of the turbo granny encounter which I thought was hilarious and I loved the characters and their chemistry so much that I read the whole manga as this was when only the first episode was out. Dandadan rlly is something you read/watch bc of the premise but stay with bc of the characters

[@Electronica27]

24:01 I also wanted to mention that as well, with the whole love language thing. Successfully married couples always do small gestures for each other like a ritual, like getting/making coffee every morning, flowers every anniversary, or even simple good morning texts every morning, etc. I remember a story of a husband who was away and was still able to have a coffee delivered to his wife's work at the same time through a delayed order. Them saying "see you tomorrow" is that little gesture and realizing that makes their dynamic INFINITELY more adorable, its almost like a promise every time they would have to departure. They say it the very first time after the TB fight, then Momo cements the ritual the next time (I think right after Jiji moves into her house) its her way of promising that nothing changes in their relationship despite her previous crush being around.

[@safetysonrookie]

I adore it - their love and affection is so much more than just attraction. It's as you said - a stability and reassurance of something deeper. Its an understanding of each others' souls. I can't express how much I love it haha Thanks for watching!! :)

lmaoooooo so true. every time my gf comes to my house and leaves I always give her a candy.

Some people think that the story will end after Momo and Okarun confess to each other and officially become a couple. But, looking on this video about their journey to understand their feelings toward each other. I think that Tatsu will explore their relationship as a couple. How they navigate as a couple around their families, friends, school, yokai and aliens.

[@safetysonrookie]

Oh totally with you here! As if love and growing just suddenly stops when they get together. The amount of insecurity and second guessing that comes with developing romantic relationships is astronomical. Like imagine them agonising over going gor the first kiss - or how to tell the group - there is so much to be done there it'd be a waste to just end it sooner rather than later.

Once Dandadan explodes into the mainstream even further after season 2 comes out I'm sure it will become the gold standard of "romance shonen" and copycats will arise left and right trying to match what Dandadan did. And I honestly can't wait for it. It felt like the golden era of romance anime had passed but this along with Blue Box might just be the start of a new era for romance animanga. One where the romance isn't the only aspect the stories focus on but rather one where the romance is as much a core part of the story as battle shonen or sports.

Absolutely love this video, you explained their relationship and their growth perfectly. Momo and Okarun is my favorite couple in modern shonen because of how natural they are, two seemingly different person meet and go through an insane adventure and slowly falling in love with each other is a really common romance trope, but Dandadan executes it so well, you can’t help but rooting for them to be together. It’s not even a joke when people usually say Dandadan is a romance manga disguised as a battle shonen manga, because the romance aspect is such a big part of what makes this series so special.

I watched this before work yesterday and had so many thoughts about it that I had to listen to it again on the way home, and now I'm back for round 3. I've been reading Dandadan for about a year now and you perfectly articulated the feelings it gave me that I didn't know quite how to express. As I read through the story I started realizing that I've never found a relationship that I needed to happen more than Ken and Momo, almost like their own doubts and feelings they had to overcome were the same that I've failed to overcome before. I suppose that's the intention, and probably why it's probably the most emotionally genuine and compelling relationship I've ever seen depicted. Looking at those Manga panels while you elaborate on them made me understand why they would make me feel so much while I read them the first time. Those feelings are so natural yet so complicated and I think you did an incredible job at describing why they felt like that. Please do more Dandadan, you really do seem to 'get it' in a way so few other people do

[@safetysonrookie]

The translator captured perfectly Momo's "Love ya!" note. The Japanese used was ダイスキ (daisuki, literally: "big" [dai], "like/love" [suki]), but as it was written in katakana, the meaning might be more ambiguous, the kanji form being "大好き" (daisuki). So, I'm sure that would have confused any teenage boy who was crushing! Love this show and will miss it until they bring us the second part.

@@safetysonrookie Glad to see more Dandadan content. I just finished watching it today and oh man it is proof of a shonen that vitalizes romance as not a side aspect but a link that strengthens its protagonists to newer heights...Very few shonen do it so well and this couple is so sweet. It somewhat reminds me of Black Clover which despite being a shonen has a great link between Asta and Noelle....Pls do more such vids....😍😍 edit: Could u suggest more anime similar to this...

[@cameron9239]

As so many comments have said, you really did perfectly encapsulate everything that i personally love about the relationships in this series. There are far too many manga and anime out there that fall into classic tropes of miscommunication and frustration. But what i love, and is so refreshing to see, is the growth of individuals and the honest communication between them. Tldr, sensational work

[@PANICBLADE]

This show sells their actual relationship instead of the IDEA of their relationship. It's so refreshing that the author knows how to write people who love each other instead of people attracted to each other. Hell, Orakun didn't even realize Momo was cute until SOMEBODY TOLD HIM.

I finished the video and untill now I never really thought about the relation to the plot predicament and they're relationship like ken needing to gain some balls and momo needing to grow now

[@safetysonrookie]

Honestly, the depth that comes just inherently to good writing is just great. I think Tatsu knowing his characters so well means he just knows what plots work for them and I absolutely love that. Momo and Okarun are far and away my favourite anime pairing in anything! Thank you so much for your viewership, it genuinely means so much to see each comment :))

[@OneBuckShort420]

I only knew Dandadan from the anime itself. I'm hooked. Then, around the third episode of the anime, I became impatient and spent three days reading the entire manga online. I also purchased a complete set of physical copies of the manga, as if that weren't enough. No other shows made me did what I did. The relationship between Okarun and Momo is by far the greatest in any manga or anime that I have ever seen. Dandadan is peak.

[@safetysonrookie]

I'm building my collection as we speak! I'm totally obsessed - don't know what I'll do without Thursdandan! Thanks for watching!!

[@Donnerbalken28]

Was checking out the anime because Netflix kept slapping me in the face with it. Ended up being completely obsessed with it over the past few days. It's just one of the sweetest romances i've seen depicted, rarely have i wished for fictional people to end up together so badly. And the worst part? It makes me feel the burning void in my soul ever so stronger. But perhaps there is a chance that it'll go away some day, when these dorks finally get together, maybe i have the chance to find someone too.

[@safetysonrookie]

Honestly, obsessing over Dandadan has been an incredible period of time for me. It helped bring me back from a bit of a hard place I was in. The fact that I'm caught up has put me in the same spot - like something is missing... but at least we can try to re-experience it here! You're more than welcome here :)) Thank you for watching!

[@outcast12345]

I have to write another comment. This video is absolutely amazing. What a catch with the changing posters, what a catch with Momo needing to grow at the end and beautiful ending you added about the love being so natural in a supernatural manga. But I must emphasize how fking awesome your delivery is. You got the sauce bro I swear to god.

[@safetysonrookie]

Thank you so much!! Both of your comments are so wonderful to read, it really means a lot to see this. Making this content, there are so many things to feel insecure about - so seeing people like you loving my work really makes it all worth it. I'll continue making content as long as you all stay on this journey with me :)) Thank you my friend much love 🖤

Great video man. You summed up everything that makes Momo and Okarun's relationship so special perfectly. I too am in the same weekly hell as you since I read through the whole manga shortly after the series premiered. 😋 When ever I am complaining about other anime/manga romances being forces or contrived to the point that ruins the characters in those series ruin any emotional investment one might have in the story. I will point those people to this video saying, "This is how it is done." Also, I will tell to read/watch Dandadan.

@@peamut547 I think it will be really interesting to see how she handles his feelings and letting him down. Frankly, I like Jiji a lot, I dont want to see him hurt - same with Aira - so it will be really interesting to see how Tatsu tackles this.

[@christina_1313]

[@gabekob]

Your analysis was hands down the cherry on the top! 🍒 Binge watched/read the whole manga and the symbolism you've pointed in Momo's current shrinking as her personal growth vs Okarun's courage shown was ON POINT. It just goes to show this series will still bring many more interesting plots and still has a lot to explore. Tatsu has certainly done his own research and damn well.

It's so engrossing - I'm still obsessed with it Thanks for watching :))

[@low-resghul8306]

Legitimately the best breakdown I’ve ever seen of the characters’ relationship, and putting it in far better words than I ever could. I’ve discovered long ago that, while I’m almost exclusively a shonen reader, it’s the romance subplots that engross me the most (maybe I should just cut the middle man and read some shoujo 😅). It’s what makes me go back and reread chapters, every time something cutesy happens. And Dandadan has my brain on a chokehold since I’ve started reading it a couple of months ago, specifically because of these 2 goobers. I’m very curious to see how the series advances their relationship, as while I can count on one hand the number of times I was satisfied with a romance in a shonen, I can’t think of a single example of when a story actually develops WHILE the characters are already dating. And I hope that the story goes there, for there can still be a lot of conflict and obstacles even after they confess to each other. Trying not to keep my hopes too high, but it’s a bit hard when the series already surpasses a lot of what I expect from a weekly shonen. Anyways, sorry for the long ass comment lol. Amazing video, and hope to see more! 😊

[@Ryodraco]

On the chance you'd be interested regarding stories that develop after dating starts, Komi Can't Communicate is one such manga (it's not a action manga but it is classed as shonen), though to say more would mean spoilers. Kaguya sama Love is War is another.

[@low-resghul8306]

@@Ryodraco Oh yeah I’m familiar with those, though I haven’t watched them! Yeah I was more so referring to relationships in shonen, and I imagine shojo and slice-of-life delves more properly into these aspects. And as I said, maybe I should refocus my interests and start reading some of those, so I take any recommendations at this point, thank you! 🙏🏻

[@safetysonrookie]

Thank you so so much for such a detailed comment. I appreciate it more than you can imagine. Honestly, I never thought romance was my genre but clearly I was wrong. I cannot help but sit and re-read chapters too - just so heartwarming. I am so excited to be on this journey right now, rather than catching on at the end of the series!

Their relationship is so sincere and adorable man, im glad I read this before it got an anime announced, I wasnt too fond of it at first, till the anime finallt dropped, then j decided to reread it (i reread it 5 times last month), god i was so happy when Okarun confessed, made my heart so happyyy, peakdadan, im glad it got the adaptation it deserved

I think they are the BEST written teen couple in the HISTORY of shonen. It feels and looks a lot if not EXACTLY how a teenager would act about those feelings without exaggeration or looking like it was heavily scripted or anything. It’s just funny and cute and genuine. Some of the things a real romance has, which is why it is my favorite.

Their relationship is so relatable to me. I had a very similar relationship to the first woman I ever loved and the one that I eventually dated far longer than any other gal. I too felt like I was undeserving of love and true friendship in my high school days. I even did the same stuff Okarune did when other men would hit on her in front of me. I think that's why so many people love this story. It's realistic outside of the crazy supernatural stuff. Unfortunately for me, it didn't work out after about 5 years. Hope that's not the case with the protagonists in this story.

[@safetysonrookie]

Sorry to hear that, but its better to have loved and lost; the bad shouldn't invalidate the good :) This series has such a wonderful perspective on love, its great to see. Thanks for watching!

@safetysonrookie I agree. I'm fortunate that I got to experience that kind of love. Some people never get to. I look fondly at those times, it was good.

[@Hammage56]

GOOD VID GOOD VID GOOD VID GOOD VID Like I want to have more nuanced or productive feedback on it, but like you nailed every single aspect I could think of as to why I love these little sillies so much. In particular the segment on Momo as a "tsundere" is a good read. Reaction Formation is like the definitional trait of a tsundere, and Momo definitely falls back into it at times, but rather than being the sole way of her interacting with intense emotions Tatsu uses it highlight the difficulties that vulnerability can cause under certain situations. Plus Momo having the emotional intelligence to apologize when those outbursts hurt others and to recognize when they happen just makes her so much more likeable even when she's upset.

[@Ashcash95]

Its a great representation of teenage love and feelings. A pretty, bold & tough skinned gyaru who despite being labeled under typical gyaru stereotypes is incredibly smart and strong willed and actually very soft and feminine on the inside. Okarun is the otaku nerd people unfortunately to walk over & label as weird because they don’t know him, he has a heart of gold and is very tough and intelligent but doesn’t have the self confidence to bring it out. They meet because of their shared interest in what people deem as “weird” and connect because of it, & eventually a friendship and romance evolves between them however they are too shy and inexperienced to make the right move so they throw hints at eachother. Their relationship remind me of Ryuji & Taiga from Toradora, initially the series starts out with them help each other try to get their “dream type” only to realize that who they want isn’t who they need, and they start to see the best in each other. Its the same with Mokarun, Momo sees everything that is great about Okarun and he sees everything that is great about her so even though they might not fit what she hey normally like their connection & relationship is so strong that they don’t care, its honestly nice and feels natural.

I am not lying one bit when I say that every cute, blushy, bubbly moment between Okarun and Momo got me squealing and screaming into my pillow (the hand holding part, even just them BLUSHING got me hopping up and down). This ESPECIALLY applies to that confession (I did NOT see that coming, and it took me a solid 5 minutes to catch my breath afterwards 😭). Love the video!

19:53 I also loved this moment in the anime. In the middle of their argument, Momo absolutely MELTED when Okarun grabbed her hand. She's such a secretive hardcore romantic, yet fighting every impulse and feeling she has for him. The brief moments where their relationship grows are among the best in the series. The maid cafe chapter is absolutely one of my favorites. 23:48 I also like how Okarun is the only stable thing Momo can rely on in a world full of instability, due to how their lives drastically changed because of the paranormal and occult.

Exactly! and we all just go along with it too - but goddamn its a sweet romance. Thursday we can relive it too - thanks for watching!

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and taking the time to make this! Looking forward to a part 2 once the series is over 😉

Honestly really enjoyed this analysis! It made me realize even more why Dadadan's romance feels so natural and beautiful to me. Though, as an Anime fan, i had to leave halfway through to avoid spoilers
