by The sixth episode of the fall anime Dandadan, “A Crazy Woman Has Come,” will be broadcast on Thursday, November 7, 2024. A commotion broke out over Okarun’s golden ball, which became a hot topic.
This work is an occult battle and youth story based on Ryu Yukinobu’s manga of the same name. It is currently being serialized in Shueisha’s manga magazine app, Shonen Jump +, with 4 million copies published and over 440 million views.
The story depicts Momo Ayase, a high school girl born into a family of spiritualists, and her classmate Okarun, an occult maniac, Ken Takakura, who encounters an overwhelming mystery that transcends understanding and the hidden power and curse power they each acquire as they challenge the approaching mystery.

In the fifth episode, which aired last week, Momo and Okarun’s peaceful daily life and bittersweet relationship were depicted, leading to comments like “Just get together!”. In the sixth episode, Momo and Okarun search for Okarun’s missing “golden ball.” After searching the whole town and not finding it, they extend their search to school the next day.
The person who had the golden ball was Aira (Shiratori Aira), the woman who had been involved with Okarun last time. By obtaining the golden ball, she could see “mysterious things that cannot be seen with the eyes.” By receiving this power, Aira believes Momo’s psychic power is the “power of the devil.”
However, in front of her, a mysterious woman in a red dress, “Acrobatic Sarasa,” appears and attacks her. Momo and Okarun try to fight back, but they are helpless… They are eaten, but Aira ignites the rosary-shaped lighter she held in her stomach and safely escapes from Acrobatic Sarasa.
This time, the commotion was over Okarun’s testicles. On social media, comments such as “High school girls are fighting over his testicles…”, “He’s been holding them so preciously the whole time, lol,” and “Sinful testicles” were posted. In addition, comments such as “I didn’t know who she was” and “The voice actor playing the monster is too amazing” were posted about Inoue Kikuko, who played Acrobatic Sarasa.
