Past scenes involving Momo

In season 1, the anime opens with a scene where the high school character Momo is struck by her older boyfriend after an argument. Later in that same episode she is abducted by aliens and briefly threatened while in her underwear before being rescued by Okarun. Season 2 opens with a separate scene set at a bathhouse that involves Momo and uncomfortable encounters with older men.

Those specific scenes appear in the broadcast episodes of seasons 1 and 2. Clips and short posts showing parts of these scenes circulated online following the episodes’ airings; one Instagram reel that circulated was noted in discussion of these moments.

For reference, an example of that reposted clip appeared on Instagram at this reel.

Fan response and context

Following the episodes, some viewers posted reactions and discussion on social platforms. For example, one post noted that the assault moments in the story had not yet been followed by longer-term consequences for the character in the manga, and that observation was shared publicly.

Those online conversations have been part of how audiences engage with the show after episodes air. However, the production has not announced any planned changes to the source material for season 3.

Series themes and a cast quote

The series blends supernatural elements with coming-of-age moments. Cast and crew have discussed themes such as personal agency and youth in interviews and panels. When asked what Dan Da Dan is really about, AJ Beckles — the English voice of Okarun — explained, “There’s a lot of really deep stuff about agency and what it means in society, but at its heart, it’s just about kids. And that’s why so many people connect with it.”
