Dandadan closes out the season in the only way it knows how: pure, unbridled chaos.

Fighting a giant kaiju? Sure, why not? Just another day in the Dandadan universe.

With Evil Eye mostly handled, it’s time to introduce a new character. Da da da da, it’s Kinta! And boy has he been hyped up by the fanbase.

Like a typical Asian parent, you just gotta smack the kid around a bit.

(In case it needs to be said, I do not actually approve of physically disciplining your kids. Some of us had to live through it, so we cope with jokes.)

I don’t have a lot to say about the musical battle itself, ’cause I mean, musical or not, it’s still a shounen battle, i.e. not not exactly my forte (pun somewhat intended). And like most battles, there’s the familiar ebb and flow: Okarun initially screws up, gets down on himself, Turbo Granny doles out some tough love, so our hero eventually finds his footing and ultimately prevails. Meanwhile, Aira does her thing as a supporting character. As usual, Science Saru still put in the work. The battle choreography is pretty fun to watch even if they did reuse some of the animation. Since I’m not an anime battle fanatic, however, I’m not too chuffed about it.
