Dandadan Cuts Iconic Star Wars Reference from the Manga in Latest Episode

As a longtime fan of both Dandadan and Star Wars, I must admit that I was initially disappointed to see the iconic Millennium Falcon absent from Mr. Mantis Shrimp’s spaceship in this latest episode. The Millennium Falcon has been a staple of my childhood memories, and its presence would have added an extra layer of nostalgia to this already exciting series.

In the latest episode of Dandadan, I found myself immersed in the aftermath of the battle against the Serpo Aliens, where Momo, Okarun, and Aira are left reeling from their recent predicament. While this installment didn’t deliver as many action-packed brawls as previous ones, Science SARU still managed to add some thrilling new moments to an already exciting fall anime season.

Heed this notice: If you haven’t caught up with Dandadan’s Episode 10 yet, be aware that we’re venturing into spoiler territory. A significant twist in this episode involves the reappearance of Mr. Mantis Shrimp. Despite his previous battle against Momo, Okarun, and Aira, the boxing crustacean has resurfaced and revealed his innermost thoughts to them. Being one of the least powerful members of his species, the shrimp has been risking his life for a noble cause – saving his son. In an unexpected turn, the anime characters provided the fighting crab with a cow to aid him in his journey, leading to a significant shift in Mr. Mantis Shrimp’s vessel.

The Millennium Falcon is Absent

In the original Dandadan manga, the author Yukinobu Tatsu designed a unique-structured UFO for Mr. Mantis Shrimp. The design resembles the Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon closely, which is an homage to the Star Wars universe that didn’t translate from comic pages to screen adaptations. By examining the two images below, you can witness how Science SARU brought this captivating anime spaceship to life. The Millennium Falcon, a well-known vehicle from the Star Wars saga, has remained iconic and continues to appear in films and television productions even today.

Dandadan’s Future

With just two more episodes left in the first season of Dandadan, it’s clear there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead for fans who enjoy its supernatural atmosphere. As the grand finale approaches and Mr. Mantis Shrimp exits, a new character seems to be joining the mix. A figure named JiJi has suddenly appeared at Momo’s doorstep, and it turns out this individual shares a long-standing connection with the young psychic. While I won’t reveal too much to avoid spoilers, it’s safe to say that Jin Enjonji will acquire some peculiar abilities of his own in the upcoming episodes.

Although the “Star Wars” reference may not appear in Science SARU’s creation, Disney has been successfully introducing both Jedi and Sith characters into the realm of anime. The series, “Star Wars: Visions,” which spanned two seasons and is set to continue with a third, showcases this integration. Notable anime studios collaborated on this project, with Science SARU also participating to share unique tales set within the Star Wars universe.
