This Is Why Dandadan Fans Hate Aira

[@ShonenOuji]

Correction: Aira is not actually the daughter of Acrobatic Silky. It only seems that way because of their brief encounter. Sorry for the confusion!

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

Might wanna rewrite the whole script then. The first part is completely built upon your misunderstanding

[@BeleCoi]

I think it's much better if you rewrite then correct the video. This will still confuse other people.

[@benjamingoldstein9156]

This is a significant point, saying that you love your mom is significant, but not special. Saying that you love a stranger, especially being so desperate to say so -- because it's so significant to that person, is something VERY special.

[@UNiTorn334]

I think a huge part this yokai is to show the viewers the twisted incited these lost souls take on. A huge part of dandadan is the empathy it shows these yokai so its important to fix this error

2:10 I’m sorry, but that is a completely different woman from acro silky, if you played the scene for a second longer, a man is holding aura who is her dad. The father of acro silly’s kid left most likely before she was born, acro silky simply thought she was aira’s mom because dying pretty much wiped the fine aspects of her memory, leaving her with only the memory of being a mother, but not remembering specifically to who

[@murderman8578]

Wait silky isn't actually Aira's Mother since her actual mom past away due to illness

[@Mr.L2534]

Yeah I think she got confused when Aira called her mum by mistake

[@lorenzoditrolio6680]

I'm not hating on Aira for fighting Momo because it's an understandable rivalry.However, I don't like how she imposes herself on Okarun when he is not interested in her. I really hate this trope in anime/manga when someone forces love on someone and acts like they have to do it without caring about the other person's opinion and doesn't listen at all.This is a terribly toxic way of doing romance in a series, and the creators continue to do it. Fortunately, Okarun is not as prone to this as many other male characters and stands up to her when she tries to impose herself on him. Like that scene where she wanted to force him to kiss her which was literally a scene of her molesting him but no one looks at it like that because she's pretty or something.And most importantly, she still hasn't apologized to him for laughing at him in the beginning. JiJi apologized to Momo for laughing at her as a child even though it was years ago and Aira didn't do it. And I don't care about arguments like "If she loves him, it's as if she apologized to him." No, that's not how it works. As long as there's no verbal apology, you don't forgive, and that's it.

[@zhavierbrown4422]

This is actually the only reason I’m worried for Aida’s character in the future.IMO the only actual way to progress her character currently in the manga is make her stop liking Okarun.In the manga she’s already getting surrounded by more n more ppl who join the group and her relationship with Momo is really good.+We see in the Evil Eye Arc her n Okarun can be a good platonic duo so there’s Literally no need for her to like Okarun anymore.Plus Momo already won Okarun there’s no need for a rival anymore either. What the author needs to do is stop making her like Okarun cause now it does nothing for her character and it’ll only ruin it going forward.I know Tatsu(Author) likes romance but if you want Aira to be romantically involved there’s other male characters in the show.In fact bro made an entire bonus chapter for Aira n Jiji make some romance with them instead of keeping them both as unconvincing love rivals.

[@DBZFANX1000]

I mean okarun doesn't really tell aira to stop. Besides preventing aira from kissing anything else aira does okarun kind of just does not respond to or tell her to stop so i don't really think its that toxic. As for apologies i feel like sometimes apologies are just not nessecarry She helped okarun when he was about to get his testicles cut of i think thats already more than an apology. saving somebody when aliens are about cut your nuts of is enough of a apology for me. This is not say aira apologizing wouldn't be cool, but i think when you go through life and death situations together with people i don't think apologies matter that mcuh anymore. its a minor thing in comparison to what you go through, aira didn't care about momo's apology for landing a washbin on her dome either. For example okarun doesn't apologize for lying to momo about wnating to get stronger he lied still but he explained it and thats all there is to it. Nor does momo ever apologize for being antagonistic towards okarun over a misunderstanding. I think certain things don't always need words i've had fights with my friens where i said some pretty bad things at that time but i never apologized at some point kind reconnect if you aren't petty and let that shit go. thats how friendships go sometimes. -Like that scene where she wanted to force him to kiss her which was literally a scene of her molesting him but no one looks at it like that because she's pretty or something.- No the reason you don't look aira as a molestor is because the context to the situation is her being uneducated about love that's the joke. Okarun calls her undeducated and we find out along with okarun that she been reading weird magazines and watching likely porn from her dad's... to come to the conclusion that the person she kisses has to accept her kiss for the confession. You don't view her as a molestor not because she is pretty, you don't view her like a molestor because she is uneducated and the story tells you this.

[@nottheone2715]

"that scene where she wanted to force him to kiss her which was literally a scene of her molesting him" it's crazy how ppl ignore this part. it's not "cute" or quirky just because she's pretty

[@toadsaage7711]

Not liking Aira in her first arc is perfectly understandable. Not liking her in the following arc is also kinda understandable, but beyond those 2 arcs I don’t really see how anyone could hate her. She’s funny as hell most of time, her fighting style is really cool and fun to watch, and seeing her grow into a more dependable person as well as going from someone who pretended to be leader to actually becoming one was great. I can say that Aira is my favorite character with Momo as a close second Also that was me who drew the comparisons with Aira’s gag to Juvia’s gag, and Momo and Aira’s dynamic to Natsu and Gray’s dynamic. I remember mentioning those in your streams lol

[@ShonenOuji]

@@toadsaage7711 That’s right! Thank you again for the great conversation. It definitely helped when making the video.

[@tee-p6f]

none if is really understandable. shes not even annoying or evil in her introduction and onwards like twitter made her out to be lol. her "bullying" was VERY brief and it wasn't anything worth despising her and thats probably because momo herself doesn't really give into it as if she is sad about it rather she fights back instead and aira proceeds to understandably call her a demon when she notices the hands come out from her body coupled with airas determination that she starts playing with the gold ball as if she figured something out, which makes you wonder what aira might have gone through. she's actually really cute and i find her innocence endearing. her va on top of that sold her for me.

Aira is just a chuuni character who watched way too many magical girl anime growing up. Boy chuuni characters are usually edge lords, but Aira is just the opposite. She didn't have a mother figure and her father probably works all the time. She was probably raised by nannies. Her entire personality and behavior is literally based on the main character from Sailor Moon. Like 1 to 1. She literally thinks she's a magical girl. That's her character. That's the bit. I absolutely love her, but she's extremely air headed while also being a sweetheart.

[@Surpremaci]

Nope, silky is not her mother, this video have false information, Aira did have a mother figure. Young Aira just mistake silky as her mother

[@bernieburton6520]

@Sketchescheese Aira's biological mother was already deceased before she ran into Acro Silky's ghost. Did you actually pay attention to the back story? The most likely reason she was even able to see Acro Silky's ghost was because Aira was still looking for her mother because she was too young to understand dead. Even her father didn't explain death to her yet. He just told her that her mother wouldn't be back for a long time

[@JmanAnimates]

I can’t watch the whole video because of manga spoilers but I agree with the first section. She has been redeemed. She didn’t need to tell everyone she started the rumor. I like Aira’s character. Part of her appeal is her silly antics. Her introduction is probably why most people hate her. A smaller amount of people probably don’t like that she’s interested in Okuran.

[@madambutterfly1997]

I was the same way with Bakugo, despite his growth being witnessed firsthand. I still thought he was an irredeemable character.

[@Okkotsu86275]

I don’t hate Aira at all, honestly don’t see how anyone could. Her delusions of grandeur is hilarious, plus beneath all that. She actually a sweetheart. I can’t wait to see how she develops throughout the series.

Agreed. While her running gags don’t always hit, I always think she’s a funny character.

[@AiraAgenda]

I would like to add that I feel the reason that Aira acts like she does is because she didn't grow up with a mother figure. Like whether it's trying to deal with romantic feelings or not knowing how to act with the beauty and talent she possess it all revolves around the fact she didn't have a mother teaching her how to act.

[@Surpremaci]

Wdym. she has a mother figure, she didn't loose her mom, I think u misunderstood silky as her real mother...

[@AiraAgenda]

@@Surpremaci No she didn't what are you talking about? We clearly see that her mom died when Aira was young because her mom was shown in a casket. That is literally why she mistook Acrobatic Silky as her mom in the first place. I'm completely sure you are the one misunderstanding or either just have a low attention span.

[@LarryBudd]

Airas one of the best characters as you get further into manga

[@harsyakiarraathallah2222]

Aira did start really Hated but i really think this just a Gag and One Part of Aira's little Character Development. I'm sure Yukinobu has a planned to make her more Mature and Accept Okarun's Feeling for Momo.

[@namezi0]

Just This whole "analysis" just feels like a justification why one should like Aira. Not gonna lie, it made realize and change a bit how i felt about her. But literally one of your points/ argument is "plus i like aira" I do feel she is becoming an interesting character and she does bring something to the team but for her to really be the captain/big sister of the team first she should drop the "liking" (and bothering borderline harassing, in my opinion) Okarun and have a real redemption arc. The "admitting" her mistake of spreading nasty rumors of Ayase and asking her classmates to stop the bad attitude towards momo is not a redemption arc, its not even an arc itselft. That was just part of her introduction or building of her character., true it showed us she's more than " the pretty deluted mc " we were introduce at first. Shame both, your Jiji and Aira analysis were so biased, i do like your voice and how you explain stuff. But anyway thank you for sharing both videos, i did watched them in the end so 🤷

[@BenjButtons]

Didnt know that Acro Silky was actually Airas Mom? I thought Silky had said she didnt really recall what had happened leading up too her death hence her saying "i feel like I lost something precious but cant remember what" or something too that degree, but when little Aira has just lost her mother and theyve gone to the funeral Aira asked her Dad where is Mommy? It shows another pink haired woman in a coffin. But Aira can sence and see Silky so she runs up too her and calls ger "Mommy" which makes Silky develop an obsession with haunting her.

[@moderatecanuck]

She’s not Silky’s daughter

[@jessiesargent7212]

Someone can be an important character and still have an annoying personality. That's why the character writing is so good in dandadan. We don't have to like her. I don't care if she's a decent fighter or she's pretty.

[@maoulegna]

"... will always be one of DanDaDan best character." Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down ?!

[@hyteclowlife]

Like we don't have any out and out bad characters. There are some that aren't utilized enough IMO, but we're still in the middle of the story and I have faith that Tatsu will give all of them the attention they deserve.

[@arbitraryify]

Every character has nay-sayers of the readers; in the fandom ofc few would hate Momo and Okarun (as why stay if the thing you loath is in your face) But from the communies I've been in for DDD i see hate/dislike for many of them Kinta Jiji Etc All for different reasons, if you could show that some large survey showed that Aira is especially disliked I'd be interested As at least where I'm at she is often popular and has been since the Space Globalist arc, and is today seen as a big sister within the group

As someone binge reading the series I completely stopped disliking Aira after the whole Acto Silky arc. Honestly I hated Jiji and especially Kinta way more than Aira but I eventually came around to the others too (surprisingly even Kinta) I don’t think there’s any main character that’s truly hateable

[@SttudDioPierrot]

4:55 I gotta disagree with you here. This Gag works as a joke and also establishes Momo's Character Arc Manga Spoilers ahead Besides some teasing, Momo has never been able to openly express how she really feels about Okarun. After the cursed house arc, She teased him in the backseat of the car, holding his hand but stopped After almost getting caught by Jiji. After Okarun beat the Evil Eye, Jiji asked her if she liked anybody. She got flustered and refused to answer him. She wrote Okarun the "I love you" note but besides some subtle hints, she couldn't bring herself to actually talk to him about it afterwards. Meanwhile Aira takes every opportunity she gets to flirt with him, whether they're Alone or in Public. Aira has never been afraid to show him affection, which is why Momo gets so Frustrated when she does it spontaneouly. The last Saga was about Okarun literally getting the balls to confess and now its Momo's turn to literally Grow up and be honest about how she feels.

[@mrnightmare9505]

*MANGA SPOILERS* I feel like aira redeemed her self countless times to be hated, she is just getting hate for stepping in okarun and momo's relationship but i mean jiji does it too, so overall kinta is getting much more hate than her after he proved his helpfulness in the group in the latest chapters so dandadan fans are just crazy to be hating on characters that have importance in the story but make the main relationship a bit more complicated
