Plot
Momo Ayase is a high school girl who believes in ghosts but not aliens, while her classmate Okarun believes in aliens but not ghosts. In a bet to determine who's correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the occult and the supernatural—Ayase visiting the former and the boy visiting the latter. When the two reach their respective places it turns out that they were half-right, both aliens and ghosts do exist.
Characters
- Momo Ayase (綾瀬 桃, Ayase Momo)
- Voiced by: Shion Wakayama[3]
- A high school girl who believes in ghosts and the supernatural. After being abducted by Serpo aliens, she discovers she has psychokinetic powers, allowing her to visualize the "auras" of people and objects, and visualizes her power as giant hands to "grab" and control these auras. She has a crush on actor Ken Takakura and dates any guy who looks like him. Because of that, she refuses to call Okarun by his name because he doesn't look anything like him. She seems to have developed feelings for Okarun.
- Ken Takakura (高倉 健, Takakura Ken)
- Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae[3]
- A shy and friendless high school boy who tries to connect with Ayase over their shared interests in the supernatural. She calls him Okarun (オカルン) from "occult", since he shares a name with the actor Ken Takakura, her celebrity crush. After being possessed by the Turbo-Granny, Ken gains the ability to enter a powerful demonic state, granting him immense speed.
- Seiko Ayase (綾瀬 星子, Ayase Seiko)
- A spirit medium and Momo Ayase's grandmother, whom she lives with, despite appearing to be in her 20s. She helps Ayase and Okarun deal with dangerous spirits and yōkai. Though she has no innate powers, she has an extensive knowledge of supernatural entities and curses, and uses various artifacts and the borrowed power of the god residing in their city to seal and exorcise yōkai, though this power is only limited to the city itself.
- Turbo-Granny (ターボババア, Tābo Babā)
- Voiced by: Mayumi Tanaka[3]
- A yōkai who takes the form of a cruel, foul-mouthed elderly woman, Turbo-Granny used to comfort the spirits of girls who died horrible deaths, but started cursing and stealing the genitals of anyone who entered her territory. After Ayase and Okarun defeat her, Seiko seals her spirit inside a maneki neko doll, and she agrees to aid them for the time being until she can fully regain her powers.
- Aira Shiratori (白鳥 愛羅, Shiratori Aira)
- A student at the same school as Ayase and Okarun. After becoming aware of the existence of the supernatural, Shiratori proclaims herself as the "chosen one" on a mission to protect the world from evil and directs her attention towards Ayase, believing that she is a demon that has to be stopped. Similar to Okarun, she can transform into a demonic form with powers inherited from a yōkai called Acrobatic Silky (アクロバティックさらさら, Akurobatikku Sarasara), giving her immense agility and prehensile hair. She has a crush on Okarun.
- Jin Enjoji (円城寺 仁, Enjōji Jin)
- Ayase's childhood friend and first crush. He goes by the nickname Jiji (ジジ). After his parents were hospitalized as a result of his house being haunted, Enjoji moved in with Ayase and Seiko before transferring over to Ayase's school. Okarun feels jealous over his relationship with Ayase, but Jiji tries to become friends with him. He is possessed by the Evil Eye, who goes on a blind rampage when in control of Jiji's body.
- Evil Eye (邪視, Jashi)
- A powerful and sinister yōkai born as a human sacrifice in the feudal period. He harbors a hatred for all humanity and tricks Jiji into forming a contract so he may eradicate them. The Evil Eye, in addition to its immense physical abilities, uses the grudges of the sacrificial victims to form powerful, nigh-invincible constructs which frequently manifest into something akin to a soccer ball.
- Mr. Mantis Shrimp (シャコさん, Shako-san)
- An alien resembling a mantis shrimp who attacked Momo, Okarun and Aira but later befriends them after they helped him cure his son Chiquitita's disease. He now works at a farm and still assists the gang in every way he can. He has immense endurance, can shift into a more powerful form, and like an actual mantis shrimp, attacks with bullet-speed punches.
- Alien Serpo (セルポ星人, Serupo Seijin)
- Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai[3]
Production
Before the serialization of Dandadan, Yukinobu Tatsu had worked as an assistant for Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man and Yuji Kaku's Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.[4] The serialization was confirmed during a meeting for Shōnen Jump+ in the second quarter of 2020. However, Tatsu started Dandadan after Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku had finished because he wanted to complete his role as an assistant until the end.[5]
