[@slippy47]

While the director deserves credit. Shuuto Enomoto mostly is the one that made this episode so good. He was debuting as a storyboarder and fucking made some veteran quality boards, he also was credited as sub-character designer(basically he created character designs just for this episode), he was also an Animation Director so you could say that he basically was already in charge of the episode since he was checking peoples work on his storyboards and he was correcting the animation be it the timing and the actual drawings themselves. He was also in charge of the setting. As a debut work this was fucking phenomenal

Someone else pointed this out in some comment section: -The best thing that could happen to Acro's daughter was her getting killed for organs (very sad and unfrtunate) because every other outcome is just pain and depressing... -Yes in the manga the daughter was confirmed to reunite with the Mum. -Also in that picture perfect ballet scene, she was dancing on the rooftops (you could see the lighting and other buildings) and when she took the last leap, the camera was on a high aperture like look to focus only on her and she was actually just falling down, that splat was her reaching the bottom... - Also the studio put this episode out on 14th November (Children's Day....) This anime is truly something else...

[@dyppityjoop5912]

Also! -It's likely those men were Acro's pimps or some yakuza she borrowed money from -Acro however spent the little money she had to make her daughter happy, buying her that fancy dress. This tiny choice ballooned into tragedy when the kidnappers barged in for her money -Acro's ghost still has glass shards in her and the reason her eyes are so cavernous in her Yokai form is cause one of her eyes were gouged out

[@saiyanobe23g6]

This is without a doubt one of the saddest episodes I’ve ever watched in recent anime. I think what makes this episode tragic is how real it was. Her mom was involved in sex work and she did everything she could for her daughter to be happy and in return her daughter was used as punishment for not paying her debts to what looked liked loan sharks/yakuza members since she used most of the money to buy her daughter the red dress on her birthday. It’s heavily implied her daughter got trafficked but given that the ending shows both of them reunited together, her daughter most likely died shortly after she was kidnapped, probably had her organs harvested for money. I’m glad Aira gave Acrobatic Silky that final closure before her existence faded away. Wasn’t a fan of Aira but now I’m excited to see what she does with Acrobatic Silky’s powers and how her character will develop from here on out.

It's so hard to make me cry over a show in general, but damn, I cried for the first time with this episode. This anime is so well made, the OST, the VA and the animation, that mix of peak made me cry.

[@IB3333]

The last dancing scene of the mom was on a rooftop and she jumps off at the end, this is shown with the lights arcing and followed by the sound of her hitting the ground. The daughters name wasn't Aira, but the mother was just dead for so long she forgot how her own daughter looks. So when Aira mistook her for her own mom, Silky filled in the gap of her own daughter with Aira.

[@dantebartholomew7491]

This is why anime adaptations exist. Manga panels can only display so much through its art, but seeing those panels come to life with the combination of the beautiful music and the use of silence, man…this one really hurt. Even with reading ahead through the manga, nothing could have prepared me for this level of execution. The director did an outstanding job on this. Honestly, I haven’t been impacted and destroyed from anime like this in many years. Still can’t help getting teary eyed every reaction I watch.

She didn't bleed out in the puddle. She went to the top of a building in the rain, danced and jumped off. You can see the city lights below, and you can see her falling, then you hear the thud. The manga does make it clearer that she ended herself. Her daughter's name wasn't Aira, not necessarily, the bond was made because she couldn't remember her daughter's face, she couldn't remember exactly what she lost, and when Aira called her Mother, that's when she made a connection, but, there's nothing indicating her daughter's name was Aira.

Even tho they censored the part where she was in reality dancing on a roof top how they did it was honestly for the better due to how real that situation is for many people sadly. I thing they did this very well, while yes it is a little different from the manga I think they did it well with letting the animation tell the story rather than a explanation that other series do when exploring the antagonists backstories.

[@lycorecokawaiii]

The show hit back so much cause it feels so real to the core. In actuality, this probably just one of millions unfortunate out there depicted. Got me teared up so much realizing again how ridiculous the world are turning to. That kid man, her mother did so much to make her only know happiness, to have a dream and dance beautifully, but in instant tragic just overflowed into her in one night. Even if your job to take money, why must you take a dream from the kid too? Do your job more important than having simple humanity or empathy? I'm so sad and disgusted. The kid's fate unknown just like every missing child. I wish for a better world, a simple world where all kids can smile with their families. I wish I can help them to achieve this regardless of what I'm gonna be in near 5-10 years.

I didn't think of this before watching this but seeing it animated, I think as much as Aira was being the surrogate daughter to Acro Silky so she could pass away, she was using Acro as her surrogate mother. She never got a chance to tell her actual mom that she loved her, so when she told that to Acro Silky, I think she was also saying to her actual mom so Aira herself could finally get closure

[@jasitobaby4888]

I have not read the manga and I watched this show because of the opening. I fell in love from the first episode for the comedy. I fell more in love in the past few episodes because of the relationship Okarun and Momo have. Now I experienced this episode and I am even more in love with the show.

[@juansebastian8027]

i think its interesting turbo grannys actitude,i think more than actually hating on acrosilky is that turbo granny is so acusstoemd to tragedy that she consoles herself saying,well there is nothing to do for th death,so i wont give the death any of my grief,especially since ehr spirit was one that protected vistimcs,girl victims of all types of violence,so acrosilky backstory(whic i dont know if she got to see)is just the same story turbo granny has always saw but rarely had the timing to do anything about,so she is just ressignated

[@tenjezimmerer34]

What I love about your reactions is the fact that you can see exactly where Roshi and Sheera both start tearing up and breaking down. It’s when Acrobatic Silky is running after her child, we’re in her pov and she’s in mama bear mode after her child was stolen. You can see how both Roshi and Sheera can feel for her as parent’s because losing your child is every parent’s worst nightmare. ❤️‍🩹

[@dorothelazyone9922]

Rather than her daughter name being aira, i like another possibility: it doesn't matter, the daughter's name, since she was unable to recall stuff when she was alive, so the only thing she had was the pain of losing something important, the memories with her daughter or the literal loss of her daughter. This not only makes the back story even more tragic, but it also provides some world building: the souls of people who die do not retain any memories of their time alive BUT, those with strong regrets or who died on horrible situations (like the girls that formed the crab) will remain in this world, being tied by those feelings and yet, unable to know why. But, if there's a trigger, they will turn into evil spirits/yokai.

[@zhihaoy7319]

For someone who doesn't know what's going on: The mother was in debt, and the anime subtly hints that she worked part-time jobs and even resorted to prostitution to repay it. She used the money that was supposed to be paid to the Yakuza(japan's mafia) to buy clothes for her daughter instead. So, the Yakuza came and took her child away. Yes, the Yakuza is indeed involved in human trafficking and forcing women into prostitution. They might have taken the child to sell organs or force her into prostitution. In such cases, it's almost impossible to get the child back in Japan, and the mother knew she would never see her daughter again. That's why she ended her life in such despair.

And that my friends, is Dandadan, and what it will be from here on onwards. Hysterical, Scary at times, hype , wholesome and sad. You know what I like about that backstory? Not only was it a backstory, but it felt like a message. That situation is so realistic, someone could be going though what Acro went through at this instant and we wouldn’t even realize it. The manga is already fantastic but Science Saru COOKED this adaptation so well.

[@racerkingbbs04]

So idk how many guys noticed it but in the anime from the the entire flashback of Silky was around 7 minutes from the 10:22 mark in the episode which is almost the exact time a brain stays alive after the heart stops to function... The musical score is by the goat Kensuke Ushio who also worked on a Silent Voice, Devilman Crybaby and also Chainswaw Man, this music was the thing that made the entire sequence along with the pristine camerawork so much more impactful

I've seen this comment already doing the rounds under few other reactions and I'll take my chance to say: I think your guys are reaching here. Not every random detail has to be tied to some GENIUS-TIER DEEPER MEANING.

All kids deserve a loving parent like this Mother.❤

The journey for the golden balls is surprisingly heartfelt

Silky's design in the manga was even more tragic. She danced on top of a roof on the last sequence and jumped off, the top of her head was flat to show how she ultimately passed

They couldn't give me powers bro...me and turbo-granny on the SAME timing...I'd find those loan sharks/kidnappers and lose my Mcfuckin mind.

The author actually started this series as a way to get out of his creative block that he had after a while. So he decided to make Dandadan that creative dump for literally every single topic ever and his editor ended up loving it so much that he told Yukinobu Tatsu to lock the fuck in and make a masterpiece. From chapters 9 - 17 (Ep 5 onwards) the writing takes a very indepth turn. That's why it turned into a show about finding balls to a show with deeper backstories.

The switch up was crazy, from laughing about a kid getting his balls back to crying about a mother not ever seeing her child again. Can’t wait for more

The Animation when they were dancing was just Beautiful.

the most terrifying thing about this, is the fact that sh!t like this happens and the people who do this most of the times dont face the consequences.....(great reaction folks, love your vids)
