Dandadan Doesn’t Buckle to Censorship With Controversial Anime Scene

Dandadan Doesn’t Buckle to Censorship With Controversial Anime Scene

As a seasoned anime enthusiast with a penchant for the bold and daring, I can wholeheartedly say that Dandadan has truly outdone itself with its latest episode. The creators at Science SARU have once again shown their audacity by not shying away from provocative scenes, this time featuring an unexpectedly uncensored moment between Okarun and Momo. It’s refreshing to see an anime that leans into its source material, knowing full well that the buzz generated would drive engagement.

Anime has always been a progressive and boundary-pushing medium, with Dandadan leading the charge lately. The anime has not shied away from provocative scenes ever since its explosive premiere, in which we go to see Okarun and Momo possessed and abducted, respectively. Despite the especially upsetting moments of the premiere, Dandadan episode 9 has treated fans to an unusual assembly of antagonists. Thanks to the help of their new ally, Aira, the group managed to survive the latest threat for another day, but not before one humiliating faux pas that bypassed censorship.

In chapter 25 of the popular series Dandadan, viewers might have predicted an intriguing scene where Okarun appears nude in a suggestive position atop Momo, who is wearing only her undergarments. This explicit scene, reminiscent of episode 1, demonstrates the creators’ bold decision to stay true to the original content rather than engaging in censorship. This choice, as expected, stirred up quite a buzz, with many fans expressing their anticipation for this moment on social media posts, like that of @ReignofPride on X.

Okarun and Momo Scene in Dandadan Bypasses Censorship in Episode 9

In the weeks leading up to episode 9, fans had already been debating about this scene. This brings us back to the daring nature of the series, whether in its anime or shonen manga form. The show has tackled sensitive subjects such as attempted sexual assault, delved deep into the origins of Turbo Granny, and subtly included a lot of suggestive content. Even the most emotionally charged episode of Dandadan to date took viewers by surprise with a modified scene to intensify the moment, skillfully avoiding a graphic portrayal of Acrobatic Silky’s demise without appearing as censorship.

We can’t wait to delve deeper into the storyline of Dandadan, where we’ll encounter more of its characters like Jiji and the surprising reappearance of an adversary. Additionally, there might be a nod towards classic sci-fi elements in store. The manga version has indeed surpassed expectations by transcending its animated counterpart, becoming the standout anime of Fall 2024. However, an unexpectedly candid scene, though not overtly explicit, triggers discussions about how censorship has impacted Dandadan in other regions.

Dandadan Was Heavily Censored in China

It has been noted by viewers that the anime titled Dandadan encountered censorship in various regions, and this was particularly evident in episode 3 for viewers on BiliBili in China. Given the series’ portrayal of a well-endowed spirit medium grandmother, who has sparked much discussion during its regular broadcast, these edits were quickly spotted. The Chinese-edited version of Dandadan did not stop at altering her outfits; it also resorted to predictable tactics such as substituting cigarettes with lollipops.

As a devoted fan of Dandadan, I can relate to the historical impact of shows like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! when it comes to replacing guns with finger-pointing gestures. However, episode 9 takes a unique turn that stands out among the rest of the season. The scene where Okarun, Momo, and Yukinobu Tatsu share an emotional yet humorous moment is bound to be one of the most talked-about moments in the latter half. Given Dandadan’s penchant for humor and the absurd, it’s no surprise that this moment was kept intact, making it a fitting choice for the show’s charm.
