Turbo Granny is actually so complex, I’m sorry for hating you Turbo Granny. TW: brief mentions of SA. And a few spoilers from episodes 1-7.

Why did Turbo Granny attack Okarun, hurt an innocent boy by stealing his privates? Turbo Granny is a yokai that resided in a tunnel where boys would discard the defiled, mangled bodies of girls they sa’d. She would comfort the spirits of those girls who couldn’t move on and find peace. The reason she attacked Okarun, and stole his privates was because she 1. Assumed he was scouting out the area to discard yet another poor girl, 2. She’s a yokai, which means she has lost some of her senses due to becoming a ghost with haunted memories. Her regrets became a driving force in all her motivations— death warping her when she was “reborn” as a yokai. So, she attacks all the boys who step foot in the tunnel, regardless of if it’s a misunderstanding or not. 3. Turbo Granny is a prideful old woman. She equates the living as trespassers when they enter her tunnel, and she gets PISSED. That’s also why she kept trying to kill Momo and Okarun (Ken), even after coming to know that they weren’t bad people.

Turbo Granny’s gift of speed and running makes sense with her trauma: she ran faster than all those who couldn’t get away.

Now, Turbo Granny, like all yokai, is morally gray. Death and trauma creates lenses that people/ghosts see the world through, and consequently, act through. She shows no empathy for Acrobatic Silky, saying that her life was worthless when Acrobatic Silky was dying. (And we allllllll know just how tragic and deserving of peace Acrobatic Silky is). She had earlier stolen Okarun’s (Ken’s) private part, despite him being an innocent kid who didn’t realize the rules of the living and dead meant he wasn’t supposed to trespass into their territory. But she is undoubtedly with nuance, and yet another example of “hurt people hurt people.” She acted unfairly, did something horrible to Okarun, and kept trying to kill the kids, and if we only look at that, we can easily hate her. It’s important to see that her trauma and her death made her into somebody deadly, angry, with a deep hatred for guys. Despite her evil actions, she still looked after the lost souls of sa’d and murdered girls. She was trying to do what she believed was good (aren’t we all? or, such is the case for many hurt people), though she was also a prideful cunt.

Episode 5: Yeah this is the obligatory mean girl love rival.

Episode 6: Haha watch her misunderstand things and be a hinderance to our main protagonists. She literally thinks she's chosen by a higher power! #quirky

Episode 7: She died. They've been parkouring her corpse around the whole time. Nothing our heroes did could have saved her. She died and got revived by the spirit of a sex worker who already gave her life for her daughter once.

Dandadan's anime is here and it's glorious

[yujateaandpi]

Gobbled up the Dandadan anime and manga recently and absolutely adored it all. Not only does it feature the most likable and strongly written female characters I’ve ever seen in a shonen, it discusses extremely pertinent themes about consent and bodily autonomy from a lens of female solidarity while also elevating healthy relationships with kind communicative male characters who respect boundaries. It’s wacky, fun, gorgeous, and super refreshing.

Love your dandadan fanart!!! Momo and okarun are so cute in your style please never stop drawing them. I'd like to know if you have any other ships in dandadan? (thoughts on grandma yuri lol)

Thank you so so much!!💕💕 I won't stop drawing them anytime soon. And I'm very passionate about grandma yuri!! They care deeply for each other, I bet Turbo Granny misses her as much as Seiko does. Other than that I like Momo x Aira, Momo x Vamola, Aira x Rin, Aira x Kouki, Jiji x Zuma, Okarun x Jiji and Queen sensei x me ♥️

i always understood it as him without any filter, his own loneliness and self loathing comes to the forefront, but also his more softer thoughts. especially towards momo. it could be the spiritual energy sort of polishing him into his repressed inner self if that makes sense. without a barrier there to say you shouldnt do or say that 🤔

@everythingseasoning said:

Omg… I love this take. It makes so much sense that having spiritual energy coursing through you -> you’re a lot more genuine, unrepressed. Ugh, it’s so sad that he truly and deep down feels like his life is meaningless 😭. And it’s totally understandable, why he feels that way. He’s been alone for so long, unloved, and ultimately has come to believe what the world says about him: he’s not cherished nor meaningful to anybody. (Of course, that’s such a lie! Negative self beliefs go hard though). Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Would love to discuss more if you want to :)!

Still tryna understand why Okarun gets depressed as hell when power floods through his body/he accesses turbo granny’s powers.

Anyone have any thoughts? Would love to hear them!

Big shout out to Momo Ayase’s gyaru friends, Muko & Miko, for being the “yes and?” to Momo’s feral antics (queen) & showing support for her cringe-fail wet cat of a boyfriend.

so like... i read gazing into the abyss and i love the thought of okarun becoming a wolf spirit, i decided to do my own take on his form... which yeah- it is more furry... sorry i needed to creature-ify him. i tried to strike some kind of balance between wolf like but also still with a human like body. also i thought about his face contorting to look more wolf like when the mask is on... i thought it would be cool. maybe in the future ill finish these sketches who knows
