Something I think that's worth pointing out is that creepy was definitely the mangaka's intention. Those guys' designs are based off of politicians from the CCP and they called themselves predators (gators). It was a covert political message. Quite the place to end it though haha

That’s interesting that they would call themselves predators lol. I don’t understand why people who are creepy would want others to know it. Isn’t the point to not let people know how awful of a person you are so you can more easily take advantage of them? Like who would ever admit to being sexist or racist? That’s pretty fascinating.

[@trippersigs2248]

Its feels like a GENUINELY bad idea to leave the season on this cliffhanger. I read the manga so i know this is pretty much the last time we get a really graphic and uncomfortable SA scene, and in the context of the arc this scene is uncomfortable but because of what happens immediately next you dont LINGER on it. As a cliffhanger this just leaves you feeling uncomfortable . Its hard to ask people to hang for 8 months when something just leaves you gross and uncomfortable. You dont look forward to that.

[@phistoltv5196]

It's a bad cliffhanger for sure but if people can't handle scenes like these but we're okay to watch episode 7 which was the most graphic episode of the season and called it a masterpiece.

[@trippersigs2248]

I'm not talking about not being able to handle the scene.

[@phistoltv5196]

@@trippersigs2248 oh I agree it's a bad cliffhanger. They should have kept that scene for cour 2 or season 2. The cliffhanger should have been Jiji and Okarun discovering that room

[@absolutetr4sh551]

@@phistoltv5196 Well the way that the scene was originally handled in the manga was that it allowed to to let your breath out without having to wait for the next week. The threat is properly introduced and mostly handled by the end of the chapter, so the stress/creepiness doesn't linger. But by having the anime do it this way, the tension and unease people felt don't get resolved, and so they're just left with the icky feeling instead of the relief. And instead of waiting a week, that's now months. Really disappointed in SS for this its gonna leave such a bad taste in people's mouths.

[@RhumpleOriginal]

I dont believe you or anyone else anymore.

[@jibibi9109]

I will say ending here is a real headscratcher. This is literally in the middle of a manga chapter(where this situation is resolved pretty quickly) which is already odd but it’s also a pretty uncomfy note to leave off on. Like sure it’s a tense cliffhanger but when season 2 rolls around do people really want to get back on the horse to such a disturbing start with the bad taste this leaves you with. I’m just worried it might hurt enthusiasm for the show.

[@TerrelSam]

There isn't a good place to stop in this arc and keep up the 12-13 episodes.

[@twigs10000]

they literally could have just left it at the curse side room with okarun and jiji 😭

[@totalgarbage2053]

To be fair I think they said something about how “season 2” is actually part 2 of season 1 so this isn’t supposed to be a season finale and that’s why it’s so abrupt. But they need time to work on the next arc so they’re taking a deserved hiatus

[@jibibi9109]

@@TerrelSam They could have easily stopped it when Jiji and Ken open up the wall instead of cutting between that and the events of the next chapter. It’s a good reveal that builds mystery for the next cour instead of a mid-action-scene cliffhanger that leaves you dissatisfied.

[@TerrelSam]

@jibibi9109 there isn't really much content they can use to fill up momos cut scene. And Momo being in danger is better cliffhanger for her than she just goes to the hot spring

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Them circling Momo was so funny, and then Okarun so focused on *_NUT_* took me out 😂

[@binkssoul7335]

Technically that was the point of that assault scene. It's meant to make you feel creeped out and uncomfortable. It'll spark controversy for completely understandable reasons but then again, Dandadan was originally supposed to be a messy horror manga. Also, don't worry, this is the last assault scene we have in the series and it's continuous peak from here. No spoilers.

[@bbuild11]

Isn’t there another one with Okarun too?

[@masterjob4608172]

Anyway, this episode shows how kind momo really is. She cares for Hana to the level that she's not gonna leave her waiting alone at night. Also, for Okarun, obviosly, she really feels glad seeing him having a new friend and goes as far as leaving him wih Jiji, wishing they will get along better. That's very nice of her!

Science Saru did an amazing job overall, but ending the season like that is probably my one nitpick. Okarun and Jiji's discovery was already enough of a cliffhanger. We didn't need that Momo scene, too.

Boy what a way to end a Season which this was an adaptation of Ch. 1 - 33, but don’t worry Season 2 will be coming back in July 2025 - Also fun fact the ending is a reference to the bonus chapters that focus on Turbo Granny like buying eggs or finding a kitten - Tsuchinoko is a snake like cryptid from Japan where it is said to be either a foot or longer in length along with a flatten body (funny that its name means “child of hammer”), & legends say that it has venom like a viper & be able to bite its own tail then roll like a wheel - the songs that Okarun & Jiji sing which were opening & ending for the Slam Dunk anime which you can also hear sneaker sounds on a court, but Jiji later says “Vamo la” (Portuguese “lets go”) which is a reference to a commercial which features Kayuyosi Mimura a soccer player

[@nickb6425]

Jami as a HUGE manga lover you aren't overreacting. Not only is there the thing with episode 1, but the thing about this is that while the secret room scene ended on a chapter's end in the manga, Momo's predicament the way they played it in the anime did not end on a chapter's end. So even for me, this ending for episode 12 really leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but no you aren't overreacting it's understandable. Personally I woulda preferred a different point for the end of this season but the episode woulda had to be like 50% longer lol.

[@LLGTMT]

I mean that is kind of the point of that assault scene, it's meant to make you hate those characters and make you the viewer/reader feel uncomfortable. It would be far more concerning if you were 100% comfortable with those kinds of scenes. However for some people that subject is too triggering or they just lack the maturity for it. In my opinion this subject is only bad in fiction when it is being glorified, over sexualized (making the scene seem erotic), turned into a form of fan service, made into poor taste comedy or treated as something less than the grotesque and uncomfortable subject that it is. For example, Oda has confirmed in an SBS Q&A that Doflamingo raped Violet in One Piece... It makes sense for his character and it makes him a better villain. It doesn't make it admirable thing, it's not meant to make you like him more as a person, it isn't meant to make you smile, laugh or feel anything good. It's intent is to make the character more detestable to help create a character that feels like a true villain who is pure evil. But hey I've read Berserk and this is tame compared to plenty of things depicted in that manga.

[@theanalyser8456]

That was just a bad way to end the season, they could have ended it on chapter 34 or restructure the scenes.
