Fans of One Piece are buzzing with excitement after noticing a particular scene in the Dandadan anime that evokes memories of one of their favorite characters.
Dandadan has quickly become one of this year’s standout anime, attracting a significant audience with its premiere episode, which received positive feedback from viewers. Thankfully, there are still 11 more episodes poised to follow.
The narrative follows Momo Ayase and her schoolmate Takakura. Momo is a firm believer in ghosts, while Takakura, a skeptic of the supernatural, insists that aliens are real. To settle their differences, they engage in a wager, leading to a series of comedic situations.
One Piece supporters have an additional incentive to dive into this new anime, as they’ve picked up on a humorous resemblance.

Viewers have highlighted that Momo’s gait in the initial episode bears a striking resemblance to that of Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the most well-known villains from One Piece. In Episode 151, Doflamingo’s unique way of walking alongside Kuma is quite memorable.
Interestingly, Momo mimics this walk, and fans are captivated by the connection.
Despite the noticeable parallel with One Piece, one viewer clarified the inspiration, stating, “That walk is actually a nod to the Japanese delinquent aesthetic. Almost every bully or punk character adopts this style. Notably, Jotaro Kujo and Ryuji Yamazaki are famous examples.”
Another user remarked, “That walk is iconic! It definitely exudes those vibes.”
“Truly one of the greatest walks in anime history,” a third commenter asserted.
