Recap of Dandadan Episode 4

Episode 4 of Dandadan opened with Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura entering Turbo Granny’s tunnel for a confrontation, but they soon found themselves ensnared. The Turbo Granny reversed Okarun’s powers, trapping him, but he managed to persuade her to regain his body. Consequently, Momo was able to harness her abilities to restrain the Turbo Granny, liberating herself in the process.

In the ensuing chaos, Turbo Granny summoned a location-bound spirit, identified as a gigantic crab, which pursued the duo. Utilizing Okarun’s powers, they dashed to a nearby city, employing one of his two ultimate techniques. The crab ultimately trapped them in a bathhouse, but Momo resorted to her powers to burst pipes and scald the crab with hot water, momentarily incapacitating it before it resumed its pursuit.

The young heroes were subsequently surrounded by a throng of possessed individuals, forcing Okarun to unleash his second ultimate technique in a desperate escape. As hope seemed lost, Momo ingeniously utilized her powers to commandeer a moving train, luring the Turbo Granny into a trap laid by herself and her grandmother, leading to their ultimate victory. The episode concluded with insights into Turbo Granny’s character and a deeper exploration of Momo and Okarun’s evolving friendship.

Expectations for Dandadan Episode 5 (Predictions)

In Dandadan episode 5, viewers can likely expect the storyline to kick off with Okarun and Momo at school, the day following the events of the previous episode. The initial awkwardness in their relationship may be palpable, influenced by the context surrounding their newfound bond. This dynamic may be compounded by Okarun’s experiences with bullying and Momo’s group of gyaru friends, who might provide a cynical perspective on their relationship.

The upcoming episode may also introduce a supernatural event at their school, with a new spirit emerging as an antagonist, given that previous conflicts have centered around alien encounters. This could potentially lead to introductions of characters who will become integral to the series’ main storyline. At the very least, viewers should anticipate further development of Okarun and Momo’s friendship and their respective powers.
