bro i caught up for the anime just now, and man, i was bawling my eyes out for ep 7 like seriously who was cutting onions in here ;(

[@chiyq]

The spirit protected her from harm throughout her life, thats why aira has such big confident over herself since shes been living free from harm

[@alecLogan]

Sort of. Momo _did_ get the (bedpan) drop on her, after all. And Acrobatic Silky didn’t proactively target Momo, but Aira.

[@litakagami4339]

@@alecLogan but then again , silky blame everything that don't go her ways to momo in both episodes

[@brandonwithnell612]

the way i saw it was that silky wanted to protect and love aira so much that she got twistedly obcessed with her until finally when aira was able to see her again she got so focused on her that she momentarily forgot why she wanted to protect her. upon realizing she caused her death she snapped out of it back to her motherly personality

Same man they went like way too far with the adaptation man it can break anyone even if they watch this only ep even if they don't have much context of the DanDaDan verse it was that powerful

[@BlickyDicky]

Bro this was soo much sadder than the manga. The direction was fucking incredible.

[@0false.sun0]

same, I literally just started reading the manga, i knew what was gonna happen and I still felt sad

[@martinarguelles165]

As a manga reader they did this scene justice! Regardless of what they left out.

[@justsquaro1989]

I feel it was alot more tastefully done leaving that specific scene out I'm glad they did it the way they did

[@Sir_Zombie1ted]

Actually they didn't. Slow down the episode at the 16:38 to 16:41 time frame, she clearly jumps over the edge but it is just a couple of frames due to how sensitive the subject matter is.

[@IIC7]

Personally, I wish they kept the flip like they did in the last panel of that chapter but the scene is beautifully heartbreaking regardless

[@ighost_mnqn]

@@IIC7 i think its a sensitive topic in Japan and they really cant show the full backflip from the building

[@IIC7]

@@ighost_mnqn I figured that was the case. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise because my heart would actually break more than it did lol

[@GradietPanda12345]

They didn’t actually animate the panel, but she danced her way off a rooftop and committed suicide

[@just-a-weeb4822]

Ohh dammnn😢😢

[@SenseofNoneYT]

They were a bit vague but you could tell she was very high up with the city lights below her. The horizon was on the lower half of the screen. The rooftop was wet with rainwater so it reflected the backdrop. And you could see the lights flying past her during her last leap, and right after her life flashes by, you hear her body hit the ground. The sound made me think she landed head-first. They didn't directly show it, but they were masterful with it.

[@tyriquesmith8850]

It was eluded to, but I think masterfully so. Tragic 😢

[@KaiSaNara]

There are like 3 frames that shows her jumping

[@zoom7331]

This topic is very complicated in Japan

[@唐辛子魔王]

She lived in an old apartment which is 4 and a half Tatami size 7.29m2. You can see the glass slide doors inside the room. We only see them in the poverty apartment 40-50 years old. She was working multiple jobs, and the night, you know the job, but in deep dept. It touches viewer's heart even though she was having life hand-to-mouth, she got costly fancy dress for her daughter.

[@PandaStyle07]

My first thought after the episode was to look up if her daughter shows up again in the manga, but this was so well done I decided I got to experience it as the author intended

[@bernieburton6520]

It's pretty heavily implied that the daughter is dead and that the mother was able to find her in the afterlife right there at the end.

[@mfthemattdetonados]

U mean the studio? I really dunno how much an author can interfere with the anime production (of course he can at some degree) but i mean, if u wanted to experience the full raw experience then u should see this in manga (CH 16-18 exactly). But i think the anime did slight better for me, to some extent.

[@lumiereamv195]

sadly, the daughter was heavily implied to be dead. and seeing how those guys looked like, they were probably yakuza, and all they care about is the money. so it is very likely that the daughter was sold off in human trafficking and died whatever horrible work she was forced into at that young age

[@spinningtornado4543]

12:36 She dead, Fresh. If you want to be even more sad, she died on the same night she was kidnapped, in the very dress her mother brought her as a 5th birthday gift.

[@marklawrenceanzale1110]

Asian culture says that children have strong spiritual essence without their knowledge, that's why some children have these creepy concept of "imaginary friends". But it gradually fades when they grow up tho. In case of Aira, she's able to see the spirit now because she coincidentally borrowed the spiritual power of Okarun's ball.

[@BT-to9xv]

As Asian guy and former Asian child, i can assure you i had similar experience like this in my 3 y.o. Still remember till now.

[@marklawrenceanzale1110]

@BT-to9xv yeah some people remembers it but when they grow up, they can't see those entities anymore. In your case, can you still see those ?

[@BT-to9xv]

@@marklawrenceanzale1110 nope. Ah, i tell you before, i'm Indonesian guy. I lived with so much mythological and supernatural thing surround me. Well, i can't saw "them" anymore but i had some, you can call warning alarm. If i'm going to or inside the building, or watch the objects that potentially had supernaturals thing, my breath came bit hard. I thought it was my weak body but even in wide building, i had this condition everytime i went to near anything like "that."

[@harsyakiarraathallah2222]

They didn't even need Dialogue to tell this Beautiful Story of a Mother Powers to Raised Alive.

[@izzydeleon48]

And in the manga, no dialogue was used for this backstory and it still hit as hard!

[@massdefection]

This episode is a masterclass in showing, not telling. It also is a masterclass in using its time in the most efficient way to really bring character, story, and emotion all at once. And it's not just Selkie! They somehow give you all of Aira's character in that short bit of time towards the end as well with her mom's death, the direction given to her by her dad, and her moment with Selkie. Just truly masterful applications of literally every skill at play in this episode. The comedy and animation cemented its popularity. This episode cemented it as a classic in waiting.

[@IVAN-jg3cy]

The director and the animators for this episode really cooked. In my personaly opinuon, this hits harder than the manga and the manga is very emotional too and that tells something.

[@ânhoang-k2u]

as much as i dont want it to happen, but im pretty sure her daughter is dead too cause the way Aira said and a small scene of her daughter said thank you to her.

With this, you see the HEART of the series. It cements itself as one of the best and it's not even a one and done deal, there are a lot of moments just like this later on. Dandadan is such a mix bag of genres that it manages to utilize them all so well and make it such a treat.

5:33 Yeah, Aira is not a normal person because she had unlocked her latent Spiritual Ability. But her powers only activate because of Okarun's Ball. Without it, they don't activate (since she doesn't have any Spiritual Powers). Basically Okarun's Ball act as a Spiritual Power battery for her, while she herself is a normal human. In other words, Aira has Magical abilities but no Mana/MP to use it, which Okarun's Ball provided.

[@Marbeary]

10:38 you can hear the thud implying she jump of the building same as in the manga but more artistic and subtle I like how the animators gave it more lifelike animation implying this can be a real story in real life and that goes darker.

10:24 This scene were she's dancing in the Roof Top of Building and Suicide her Life by Jumping the Last Part of her Dance at 10:38 were she hit to the ground and died. Because she gave up finding her Daughter. 💔

[@MyDeadFamily]

Btw kids are able to see spirits without psychic ability in the dandadan universe. I don’t think it’s all kids, but they’re generally susceptible to seeing them at a young age, the they age out of it.

[@翔ラフィアン]

Possibly, but it is highly likely that her daughter also died. She was in debt to the yakuza and couldn't pay her money back, and one day the yakuza came to give her daughter in lieu of the debt. And it is believed that he made it even by selling his daughter's organs as a substitute for the debt. After the beautiful dance scene of the mother, the daughter says, "Thank you." After that, you will hear the sound of slamming into the ground. This is when a mother desperately searches for her daughter, but realizes that her daughter is no longer in this world. And the mother in despair threw herself from the rooftop.

2:20 being yokai it also mean you are twisted soul, but there are literal human psychopaths out there that really think like this. Human is like Dandadan, you think you can broad brush stereotyping but actually you can not if you do so then prepare to get punch in the gut. 5:36 she was normal before she got tbag by Okarun’s ball, the thing with kid on extreme mental condition, like losing loved ones, they could see a little bit beyond the veil of normalcy but as they grown up and move on from those, even though those mental condition leave a scar in form of that high brow mental conditioning that Aira has, they lost that pseudo ability.

I hope the series potentially returns to this story. (I don't know if they come back to the daughter's spirit or something in the manga.) I think it could be rather good. It is such lovely storytelling. I started crying at the end. I didn't even notice when the tears fell at first. Also, to note that Turbo Granny is still being rather mean and callous with her words; given her backstory, I don't think she is unaware of the emotional cues of these spirits. It is just she has been around for so long. It was just a matter of fact for her. Granted, I think she may have reacted similarly if she had seen the memories either way. For her, it's just a cold reality that could easily happen to her.

[@OmegaDenz96]

2:44 well, it was already explained last episode. they crave for this "life energy" cuz they think if they consume it enough, they'll comeback to life. especially these types of yokai who are bound to this world and can't seem to travel to the afterlife because they have huge regrets before dying. the greater your life energy is, the more likely you'll be targeted or attacked.
