#aira x evil eye

[nocandnc]

I really like the implication that despite her reluctance on the matter,

Aira is the one who can best match Evil Eye in a fight

at least prior to Okarun’s training arc.

While Aira is lacking in raw strength and spiritual energy, she makes up for it with exceptional technique. Close combat fighting is like dancing, and that’s where she excels. She’s already capable of following EE’s 4-beat rhythm from the start.

We can see this demonstrated even before the music room training. During one of his transformations at Momo’s house, Aira's shown to be the most effective in holding EE back ‘till the hot water is ready.

I think that’s partly why she’s so cavalier about letting EE out in later arcs. I don’t think it’s just her being selfish or rash - some part of her must be thinking ‘I can take him!'

But, I also think there’s a level of trust to it as well.

Trust in herself to keep him in check, trust in Jiji’s ability to restrain him, and trust in the Evil Eye himself to be more than a just vengeful embodiment of human rage and suffering. She's gotten comfortable with him by this point in the story after all - enough to scold and kick him just as she would Jiji and the others.

Speaking of matching, there's also thematic connections to consider.

Aira’s abilities come from Acrobatic Silky, a poor ballet dancer turned urban legend after meeting a tragic fate. AcroSilky's fondest memories are of when she would dance and play with her child, whom she yearned to see even after death.

When the Evil Eye was a living child, his greatest wish was to dance and play with someone as well. That got twisted up after centuries of watching other children suffer like he did - but just as AcroSilky sought out Aira in want of her child, Evil Eye's core desire is still there.

So I think it would be very nice if these two shared a one-on-one dance at some point... even if it's under the guise of play-fighting ^^;;

Ways I can think of that “DanDaDan” differs from other shonen series:

* Female MC is as important as male MC

* Canon romance gets consistent development through the series. I think that’s part of the reason why the MC ships with the rivals (Aira, Jiji) aren’t as popular with the fandom for once. The main ship is actually getting good development, so the fanbase doesn’t have to make up headcanons to fill in the space.

* Flips the found family trope on its head by having the main group despise new people whenever they show up and they even actively try to kick them out. The new people only end up staying because they keep lingering around to the point that the main group just gives up and lets them stay.

* The rivals aren’t emo or angst-ridden. Aira is a delusional tryhard popular girl while Jiji is a himbo drama queen. I’d even go as far to say that the MCs are the ones who are emo and angst-ridden.

* Supporting cast is more than just important, they become integral to the story. I’d say that the further you read into DanDaDan, the more it becomes an ensemble cast where everyone is a protagonist in their own right.

* World-building is all over the place, but in a good way. Most other shonen are pretty consistent with what kind of world their characters live in. MHA is superhero-based, Naruto is ninjas and magic, Bleach is spirits, and so on. DanDaDan feels like the author just throws whatever cool shit they can think of into the story. That’s actually the reason why I wrote in a different post that DanDaDan reminds me more of Marvel/DC than any other shonen series, it manages to capture the catch-all insanity of those comics.

* Doesn’t rely on hidden power-ups. The main characters either have to outsmart the villains or they have to train to get better with the powers they already have.

* The pervert comic relief guy is actually endearing for once. Not because of his pervert tendencies, but because he’s so oblivious to how socially inept he is that it’s kind of funny. This is gonna sound strange, but he sorta reminds me of Thor in Thor Ragnarok. Full of himself and oblivious to how dumb he can be. He’s Thor without the good looks lol.

* Flips the “nerdy outcast loser somehow gets a harem” trope. Instead of making Okarun cooler than how he actually is, the story emphasizes that the women who fall for Okarun are as weird as him. Momo is a weird outcast, Aira has main character syndrome, Vamola doesn’t understand how to human because she’s literally not one, Rin thought Okarun was a vampire (and wanted him to be).

* Flips the “elderly figure in charge of the teenagers” trope. I don’t really get motherly figure vibes from Seiko Ayase, I get more “cool wine aunt who is stuck with her niece” vibes. In fact, there was the arc where Okarun showed up to her in spirit mode to get her help with fighting off the alien invasion and Seiko’s response was, “Well, I’m not in the area and I have other shit to do, so you kids figure it out.”

* The series takes the piss out of the trope of mystical/magical items that the group acquired to get their powers. I mean…the main mystical MacGuffin in the series are Okarun’s balls.

* Okarun was about to go into an “I’m weak / I wish I was stronger / I want to get stronger for my friends” breakdown, but Turbo Granny told him to shut up and keep fighting.

* Not afraid to put the “cool girl” in as many funny situations as possible. Off the top of my head, the series built up Momo as this cool, tough girl who doesn’t take shit from anyone…then several chapters later, Okarun found out she got a job at a maid cafe.

(Feel free to add to the list!)

Let's get some juice.

Huh?! Why me?! Ask Momo for that.

But I want you with me!

(c) Vol 15 Extra

[duckiemimi]

question do you like JiJi x aria i think there so cute

Like i think aria would be the one to always to keep check on jiji and always yelling about him stupidity,which he would be dumb and giving her compliments and being goofy.

i think aria would be the caring rude person to jiji. But i just love jiji goofy personality and how silly he is and how silly aria is 😭

YES.

YESSSS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

i love momokarun and i know they're set, but i love aira and jiji as characters, too, and knowing that they'll inevitably be let down when our main pairing becomes official makes me a little sad :') listen—i know romance isn't everything and pairing the spares can seem kinda lazy, but they would be so lovely together!

like you pointed out, THE DYNAMIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. i can definitely see aira grounding jiji, but also jiji being aira's conscience, making her softer, warmer. classic head vs. heart duo. also, headstrong aira being romantically inexperienced and jiji being the emotionally intelligent flirt that he is...there's material here. and they're both incredibly silly! it's a good time, methinks!

ideally, i would love for them to be fleshed out within the series to warm us all up, and considering volume 16 had that omake that focused on aira and evil eye, well...i hope i'm not making something out of nothing!

[sircalamarius]

Today I present Candy's design for my Gravity Falls x Dadadan AU, she would be Aira Shiratori in this version. I also took the opportunity to make a sketch of her yokai form.

Gideon and Mabel are next planned to draw, them being Kinta and Rin respectively.

However I'm having difficulty choosing characters to be Jiji and Vamola, so I'm thinking about keeping them as their canon selfs - perhaps with the difference that instead of Evil Eye Jiji is being possessed by Bill Cipher - But I'm accepting suggestions.

[lovelybee666]

Got bored solo i'm making My opinion about some Dandadan ship!1!1!1

Warning that this is my opinion and I can be a little aggressive sometimes-

Momo x Okarun: Uh neutral, I don't think it's the best of the best but I don't hate it either😼

Momo x Aira: ...uuhh yeah no I can't really see the vision-

Momo x Jiji: I can honestly see the vision although I don't have a high opinion of it either

Momo/Aira/Vamola/Zuma/Rin x Kinta: yeeaahh..no I can't really see it

Momo x Zuma: neutral but I actually kinda like it

Momo x Rin: okay hear me out with this ship- IDK WHY

Momo x Vamola: tee hee my fav Dandadan ship😼😼 they're so silly PLEASE TELL ME YALL SEE THE VISION

---

Okarun x Aira: neutral👍 idk I don't really have an opinion about it

Okarun x Kinta: kinda like it but I see them more like bros

Okarun x Zuma: uuhhh idk neutral ig??? IDK

Okarun x Rin: I used to like this ship but idk the whole vampire kink thing is kinda weird sooo yeah idk ig it's fine ignoring that

Okarun x Vamola: I actually find it kinda cute :3

Okarun x Jiji: at this point I think any Jiji ship is just perfect (except Aira x Jiji, f hate Jiji x Aira)

---

Jiji x Aira: absolutely not. They give off too many sibling vibes😭 yeah no sorry I just don't like it I mean Good for You if You like it but personally I hate it😿

Jiji x Zuma: uh idk I can't see the vision honestly

Jiji x Kinta: I'll be super honest, for me this ship is one sided but I still love them😼

Jiji x Rin: Same, leaving aside the vampire kink thing I actually like the idea of this ship

---

Aira x Rin: wait I can actually see the vision

Aira x Vamola: uuh idk?? Neutral ig

Zuma x Rin: neutral?? IDK AAHH

---

Evil eye x any other character: ...you understand that's a child, right? Absolutely not. Idgaf he has more years since he's dead, if he has the mentality of a kid and acts like one then he's a f kid

[flare-the-freak]

Folds hands together, more Dandadan x Murder Drones be upon ye

Yeva is Turbo Granny. I don't know why she just seems like the best candidate considering she's the like, closest we see close to Nori besides Khan

V is Aira for obvious reasons. Her beef with Uzi exceeds universes yet they'd still kill die for each other

Thad is Jiji, first crush and now just buddy buddy? Hell yeah. They both have the silly energy too.

Evil eye is either Doll or Doll is Bamora. I'm leaning towards Bamora because the whole losing her family. (sorry yeva...)

[animeisforanimation]

Dandadan

getting closer and closer

and oh my god the latest trailer?!

first of all, this Momo? cuteness overload!

if there is a thing the manga doesn't exell at artwise, it's faces. they are very expressive, but also extremely similar, borderline the same. and i this still gives me hope anime can go around that.

Next, there's Okarun. Except he seems to be bit by Ozu from Tatami galaxy. There's even The Curled Smile and The Demonic Laugh! Amazing x D

Jiji has got all the rizz as always.

[Aira is my pretty bitchy princess, but there were no shots of her that caught my eye so far. But that’s probably a good thing not yo show much of her or Evil Eye before they actually enter the story].

And there is HORROR. Oh wow.

On one hand, I'm positive nothing would be able to compete with Dandadan's manga spreads. On the other, the shapes and the colours (and the excellence of all of the Science Saru's previous projects) make me so so excited for all the ways the adaptation will show the same scenes in its own way, use the benefits of the movement and sound.

Like, oh wow, the glasses shot? And the gory broken fingers?

Okarun screaming?

The RUN?

and yeah, the monster form is just spectacular I can’t wait to see my ballerina too

[lowkxytears]

more fanfic ideas have arrived!!

a 5+1 fic where it's five times vamola felt like a member of the group and the one time she realised that no they are actually her family (preferably i would love to have this written with her learning to speak human language in mind, so her dialogue would be broken/limited in contrast with her monologue)

a bit of canon divergence with the evil eye itself becoming an actual member/friend of the group+ fluff/comfort (i'm of the opinion that the child sacrifice deserves the world no matter his crimes)

(this should've been explained with the sad jiji point in above post) HEAVY jiji angst, focusing on the fact that his parents literally hanged themselves, and he had to get them down, and likely waited for the ambulance with them...like is that not angst material??

crack fic where count saint-germain gets his ass beat and thrown in jail for basically blackmailing a CHILD with her NUDES??? preferably I would love if momo and aira double team him (we love girls supporting/defending girls in this house)

I would love if okaruns feelings on his masculinity were explored

seiko x turbo granny. old lady yuri when???

in addition to that, more ships?? and not just momokarun, jiji x aira, and kinta x vamola. (like i know as a fandom we all collectively love momokarun, but people there is a whole cast of characters where tropes and dynamics can be explored!!)

exploration of seiko's grief after losing her child(+ child-in-law)+husband, and raising momo on her own. (it would be really interesting if there were fics that differed in whether momo's parents died or just left, because the exploration of seiko(and momo's) grief would change greatly)

sick fic + slice of life, okarun experiencing the worst joint pain because of his yokai transformation, which he gets a relax day for (pull out the nines. massage chair, green face mask, cucumbers over eyes)

family dinner through the eyes of turbo granny (her opinions on everyone pls)

here’s the list of things i would like to see explored in the upcoming dandadan fics that will surely arise due to the anime and the increase of the animanga’s fans:

okarun’s home life

momo + aira friendship

big sis momo + lil sis vamola

sad jiji + comfort

an in depth exploration of kinta’s insecurities + his eventual rise in confidence (i love him so much he’s my fave)

more seiko and turbo granny friendship!!!

a fic on how mai’s haunting of rin to be an idol represents the continued life of a pushover (rin’s mum got me so mad, like y r u having ur baby cook and clean?! she can barely reach the table!!!)

slice of life through the eyes of masamichi bega (the policeman who’s zuma’s guardian)

momo x okarun first date!! (they are so cuteeeee)

one shot where jiji gets kinta and okarun to come out of their shells more and in turn jiji gets to be more vulnerable with them (group cry sesh meow)

long multi-chapter fic that explores the trauma that each members of the group have. angst/hurt + eventual?comfort (i need codependency + separation anxiety for all of them meow)

that is it for now i will add more if i need to. buh bye!!

[p-taryn-dactyl]

can you do a Wanda x Reader where reader is badly injured and Wanda finds them but its too late.. very angsty

a/n: omg anon you understand my language. i love angst so much. thank you for this request! word count: 1.4k warning(s): depictions of severe injury - blood - graphic wounds - angst - torture- ambiguous ending(?) wanda maximoff taglist: @nyx-aira @astralqche @exclusivitymajor @justyourwritter69 @xxxtwilightaxelxxx @wandsmxmff note: reader has been/was kidnapped and tortured by whatever evil organization you want to envision (i was thinking the same “ten rings” that kidnapped tony in iron man bc i rewatched it today)

You didn’t know how long you had been in the cage. They kept you hidden away in a dark corner, trapped between two sets of metal walls, with one small slit for food and a semi-functioning toilet. You knew it had been days since they last “talked” with you. Your skin bore the memories. Bruises littered your skin, open cuts stung with possible infection, and your fingers aching with blinding pain from the hammer they had brought down on them.

You prayed for it to end.

The door to your cage slid open ominously, revealing the leader of your captors. You scooted as far back as possible, shaking your head over and over as he reached in a pulled you out like a misbehaving dog. He threw you on the concrete floor of the cell, placing a heel on your chest, keeping you down. You continued to sob, begging him to stop.

“Oh, does the little baby want me to stop?” His condescending voice triggered alarms in your head as one of his henchmen came forward, knife in one hand, bowl of salt in another. Your sobbing stopped as panic built in your mind, knowing what was about to happen.

“Ple..please.”

You rasped out, voice hoarse from being kept from water for so long. All the men did was chuckle as they set up. The leader removed his foot from your chest but you knew better than to run. You learned that the first day, the bullet wound in your thigh a painful reminder. He kneeled down next to you, playing with the knife nonchalantly.

“Tell me how to kill the Scarlet Witch.”

You gasped as he trailed the blade on the inside of your forearm, watching it with fear. You kept telling yourself one of these days your pain would end, either by death or rescue you didn’t care.

The Leader didn’t like your silence.

With one swift motion, he sliced into your arm, causing you to hiss at the pain. He made a hand motion at his henchman, who silently gave him a handful of salt. The Leader made direct eye contact with you as he pressed the salt into your wound, causing you to let out a howl as pain and an overwhelming stinging sensation erupted through you. The Leader smiled at you, impatient, now bringing the knife up to your cheek, while one hand continued to press salt into your fresh cut.

“Now, answer my question.”

——————————————————————————————————-

They tried a new tactic everyday, attempting to get you to reveal the way to kill your girlfriend. Every time you kept your mouth shut, they increased the punishment.

Today, you were in a sorry excuse for sleep, when your door kicked in, revealing The Leader and a handful of men. They injected something into your neck, immediately taking away your fight. They hung your wrists up with rope, straining your joints and painting your skin with more blood and bruises. Today, you had a bit of confidence. You glared at The Leader as he opened a box, the contents hidden from your view.

“I’m not telling you anything.”

Your voice was steadily declining, days of being unused taking it’s toll. The Leader chuckled, a dark sound which sent chills down your spine.

“Oh, don’t worry, I’ve gotten everything I need. Today is…” he waved his hands around, “for my benefit, for fun.”

With that, he pulled out a scalpel and a butchers knife, holding them out towards you.

“Pick.”

You merely stared at him, swallowing with a dry throat. The Leader shrugged, putting down the scalpel and lifting up the knife. He walked around you, causing your breath to increase with panic as you could no longer see him. You heard a slashing sound, your clothes being ripped from the back. Before he struck you, he whispered something into your ear.

“Since you defended your witch, you’ll die like one.”

—————————————————————————————————

Wanda tore apart every base they went to, she destroyed entire buildings in her rage.

You had been taken and she couldn’t protect you. Her magic flickered dangerously through the Compound’s walls as Tony searched a grid for any signs of you. Wanda paced back and forth, wearing a hole into the floor of the lab. Natasha watched her worriedly but kept her distance at the pure anger radiating from the brunette. Tony slapped the counter in excitement, making eye contact with the witch. He merely showed her the coordinates of the last know location of your captors and she disappeared in a swirl of red. Tony and Natasha looked at each other before suiting up, a dreadful feeling sinking in their guts.

—————————————————————————————————

Wanda didn’t give your captors any time to react. Once, they had a front door and multiple guards. Now, they had no door and only charred skeletons littering the ground. She stormed through the base, eyes glowing scarlet as she blasted henchmen away from her, sending them into walls with bone cracking sounds. Her magic reached out to you, calling for you, searching. Wanda knew she didn’t have to be so destructive, her magic was powerful enough without having to put on a show.

But she wanted to send a message.

She didn’t know The Leader left one of his own.

Wanda was quickly approaching giant iron doors and with a flick of her wrist, they crumbled to the ground like paper. She stepped into a dimly lit hallway, watching as a man exited one of the rooms. His hands were stained with red and he smiled at the Scarlet Witch. He spread his arms out like Wanda was a long lost friend.

“So, you finally join us. But a bit too little, too late.”

His taunting tone irked Wanda and she wrapped her magic around him, watching as something akin to fear bled into his eyes. The magic seeped into his mouth, his eyes, his nostrils before his neck was snapped to the side by Wanda’s pure anger. As The Leader’s lifeless body drooped to the ground, she noticed something about the ground he had once stood on.

It was stained with blood.

Fresh blood.

Wanda felt her magic react with familiarity and she gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. She raced to the doorway, almost collapsing to the ground at what she saw. It was like all the air had been sucked out of her lungs.

Your body lay in a pool of your own blood, your skin torn and bruised, cut and burnt. A giant gash on your stomach bled onto the floor, creating a river of red around you. Your chest was moving slowly, like every breath was a burden. Wanda collapsed onto her knees next to you, pulling you into her arms and letting out a sob when she saw your back. Slash marks covered your skin, dried blood and fresh blood mixing gruesomely. She maneuvered you gently, using her magic to ease your pain. Your eyes blinked open heavily and Wanda smiled at you, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Hi, beba, I’m here.”

You smiled before attempting to respond, your body rejecting the action, causing you to erupt in a fit of coughs and sobs. Wanda shook her head as tears began to fall, cupping your face in her hands.

“No, no, hey save your strength, I’m going to get you out of here.”

She spoke reassuringly, more for her than you. Wanda watched as you gently nuzzled her with your head, looking deep into her eyes before you closed yours, slumping against her.

“Oh no, oh no nono! probudi se dušo, molim te probudi se! Wake up baby, please wake up!”

She let sobs wrack her body as she hurried her face into the crook of your neck, pulling you as close as possible to her. She rocked back and forth on the ground, trying and failing to heal you with magic. The damage was too great.

Wanda heard the other Avengers attacking the base but she couldn’t move from her spot. She continued to rock you back and forth, not allowing herself to believe the worst. She felt Natasha, Tony, and Clint stand in the doorway of what was your cell, watching in agony as Wanda crumbled to pieces and you slowly faded away. Wanda leaned back, pressing a kiss to your forehead with trembling lips, whispering against your skin.

“Don’t leave me, Y/N, beba, don’t leave me.”

a/n: i hope this wasn’t too terrible! I love writing angst so much so i hope I delivered!! Thank you for reading!!

[nocandnc]

Something interesting I noticed from the Aira + Evil Eye omakes, now that I’ve seen the Japanese text…

In the previous EE omake, he refers to Aira as ‘onushi’ - this is an archaic way of saying ‘you’, as EE speaks in a very old-fashioned way. It’s not rude, but not endearing either - just kind of neutral.

By the next EE + Aira omake, something’s changed. He’s following her around and switched to calling her ‘kisama’ instead of ‘onushi’.

To modern ears, the word ‘kisama’ is very rude. Aira tells him to not say ‘kisama’ - probably because to her, it sounds like he’s using fowl language to address her…

But here’s the interesting thing: ‘kisama’ was originally a very polite form of address!

The ‘ki’ comes from ‘kimi’, a fond way of referring to someone, and ‘sama’ from… well, the highly respectful honorific most are probably familiar with.

As noted above, Evil Eye speaks in a very archaic manner - two centuries have passed since he was alive after all. So given this context, it’s entirely possible that while Aira took it as him being rude, it was actually the opposite—

The Evil Eye could have been trying to act politely instead!

Following her request to not say ‘kisama’, Evil Eye switches his form of address once again, now calling her directly by name. Bluntly calling her ‘Aira’ isn’t exactly polite, but I do think it’s noteworthy that he respected her wishes at all. Rather, I’m a bit surprised he even knows her name lol

He calls Okarun by name as well - his surname Takakura to be exact. That’s another interesting point - the fact that he’ll call Aira by her first name and not Shiratori.

Maybe it’s because Jiji calls her Aira as well…?

Well, just some interesting food for thought in any case ^^;;;

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

My crude summary of the DanDaDan crew:

Momo Ayase = Buffy Summers x Kamala Khan

Okarun = Ghost Rider x The Flash

Aira Shiratori = Bayonetta (literally just Bayonetta)

Jiji/Evil Eye = Goku x The Incredible Hulk

Kinta Sakata = Pierce Hawthorne x Pacific Rim

Vamola = Superman x Mantis x Stargate SG1

"Why don't you talk to Aira? Do you wanna die?! If you wanna talk then talk!"

(c) Vol 16 Extra

[nocandnc]

For Valentine's Day, Aira is the type to hand out obligation chocolates to just about everyone. Or rather, she was the type until she stopped putting on airs and her classmates grew distant.

She can't blithely pass out treats and smiles to all the boys like it's nothing. Not anymore.

This year, she's only buying for three - no, four high-school boys - and her wallet is admittedly much happier for it.

Maybe she is too.

Sakata gets a plain Meiji chocolate bar - the kind of thing she'd give out to nobodies in the past. He's not a nobody, but no need to tell him that.

Her dear Takakura-kun gets a fancy box of TRUE LOVE CHOCOLATES. That's what the store marketed them as after all. She'll tell herself it's real too, even though she's not nearly as elated as she thought she'd be when he thanks her for them. Something feels a bit off - his smile too mild, her heart too steady.

She puts those thoughts away for now and heads to Class B.

Aira struts up to a certain redhead's desk and smacks two boxes down in front of him - dark and milk chocolate respectively. "Happy Valentine's Day, Enjoji."

The young man seems uncharacteristically stunned by the declaration. Was it the force of her delivery that shook him, or was her beauty and charm just too much to take in? Either way, she's thankful for the silence.

But all good things must come to an end.

"Gee, Jiji - how come you get two Valentine's presents?" Ayase Momo snickers from her desk, conveniently ignoring the pile of gifts he'd already received since first period. "Really going hard on confessing, huh Aira?"

"It's obligatory you skank!"

Aira shoots Momo a glare and then Jiji for good measure. He may not have said anything yet, but she just knows there's nonsense brewing in that head of his.

"This one is yours" she tells him while his mouth is still closed, tapping hard on the box of dark chocolates. "And this one," she shifts her finger to the milk chocolate beside it, "is for Evil Eye. Understand?"

A nod of the head would have sufficed. To her annoyance, Enjoji Jin finally decides to start talking.

"Awe, shucks Aira! Separate boxes for the two of us!? That's so kyooOWIE!!"

A swift kick to the shin puts a stop to Jiji's gushing.

"And you better believe I'm expecting two presents on White Day!!"
