Ken Takakura is the name of Momo’s celebrity crush(real actor btw) and the male mc just happens to have the same name which is why momo was surprised, the male mc also says one of the actors lines “coincidentally” specifically the “I’m an awkward guy after all” line And it also explains why she even dated the douchebag in the beginning which was bcuz said douchebag looked like her celeb crush (which tbf most teens tend to have bad first dating experience)
The studio kinda goofed up on not bringing more attention to that line at the beginning (when Momo's talking with her friends). It's just a throwaway line there, with nothing to tie it with the actor, and I doubt anyone (supported by none of the anime-only reactors catching it) would be able to pick up on it without reading the manga. Maybe a copyright issue with not using Ken's likeness (given they didn't use Obama, either)?
@@affable8696 Not really. If Momo's crush was Clint Eastwood and they said the line "Do you feel lucky, Punk?" we wouldn't bat an eye in America. That's how obvious the Ken Takakura reference is in Japan.
@@affable8696 that line is actually really big in japan just because dont know it as well over in the west, there plenty of actors and famous lines we all know this side of the world that most japan wont know about
@@affable8696 It's just a cultural difference, most JP viewers will get it immediately, so no need to realy make a point out of it. If she was taking about Tom Cruise for example most western people already have him registered in our brain, so we would put two and two together realy quick.
@@AlessaParker English is my second language, so I cannot speak to the commonality of the word. But in reactors' defence, I have seen some sophisticated or uncommon words in Anime subtitles. So maybe 'gofer' is a word uncommon to them. 🤗
Turbo grandma is a popular urban myth, and a cryptid that's reported under various different names across Japan. 100km/h hag, Jet baba, Turbo granny, etc, etc. She always appears in haunted tunnels As you are aware, Mob Psycho referenced the same urban myth.
Not just tunnels. There's other variations where she appears on highways and she would be driving a car as well appearing in your rear view mirror. But yeah in general there's a lot of variations of "Fast Grandma comin for dat ass"
@@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 I’ve heard the car one, but it was with a different car. The myth says that if you’re driving on a long dark road, a car with no driver will suddenly pop up in your rear view, and your not supposed to let the car pass you, and it starts to speed up over time
well, there is no indication she called bully's scum. The natural progression of conversation is If you were not thinking about the people, if you call the person scum it's quite clear it's the last person you talked to.
@@sohailsadaqat6684 The bullies turned away from Ayase once she started speaking to Ken. With her eyes on them, she says "How lame." Gets up to leave and says "Do only scum live in this world?" She is still continuing her point about how lame the bullies are. It's very clear.
@@funisanartform I can agree that she called the bullies 'scum' but I don't think it was very clear at all. When an episode moves too fast, it's not easy to keep an ey on even the eyes of characters all the time. As most of the reactors didn't catch that either
"remember the running grandma in mob psycho?" Yea. And they made that into one of the main plot points, a power system, AND a supporting character as well. Dandadan absolutely RUNNING away with that idea.
Carlie is right at the end. Ken takakura is the name of momo’s celebrity crush, that’s why she is surprised he has the same name and last name. What a way to end the episode 👏
Ken Takakura is the name of a famous japanese actor - kind of like the japanese Clint Eastwood. Ken in the anime, has the same name as the actor. During that scene, he says one of the actor's lines unintentionally, "I'm an awkward fellow after all" and happens to have the same name, which checks all of the boxes for Ayase.
the right translation should be that hes old fashioned and not awkward. thats why he reminded momo of the actor and the "giving the girl the jacket" trope. but some Translator seems to make ken seem awkward, instead of a chad.
It's a famous line, so probably not totally accident. His parents were probably a fan of Ken Takakura. He probably grew up hearing the lines from his parents lol
@@borzoiboii-xi6if Eh, Ken Takakura's typecast is old-fashioned, but the line is indeed closer to awkward. 不器用 means someone who's not good at things, in this context social interactions. It's closer to a klutz. 自分、不器用ですから is the line, and note that the first-person "I" is old-fashioned as well. It's also very proper-yet-uncasual. He's basically a square lol.
she didn't "want to meet someone named Ken". she said that her type are men like Ken Takakura (hugely prolific and successful Japanese actor, known for his portrayal of stoic and brooding characters. look him up, dude was a Chad). the joke is that Occult-kun Ken looks nothing like movie star Ken, yet she still seems to catch some feelings.
I like Carlie's theory at the end, about random words being thrown around and it taking genius to piece together all the random madness into a story. WILD FIRST EPISODE!
Momo and Fuuko from Undead Unluck are the gold standard for shonen. I think Momo just edges her out because she feels so realistic in such a wild series
So this Anime is recommended to me by my friend and I check your youtube channel first to see if you react to it before i watch it. And i am so happy that you reacted to it. One of your biggest fan.
Just to put your fears at ease, this anime doesn’t have any sexual violence. There may be some dirty jokes, but at its core, it’s still Shonen and has a touching and heartfelt storytelling, so I want you to relax and enjoy the anime. 🙂
@@vinseiya02 And it's only that specific alien race that does this purely because of reason they explained. Other monsters/aliens have their own goals/reasons and they will do arguably better or worse methods and actions to succeed. This show is pretty dark and the abduction scene is one of the dark scenes, not made for sick fetish purposes.
Right, when re-reading the manga this scene stands out from the rest of it. It feels a bit out-of-place in retrospect. But we've gotten it out of the way, now on to the rest of this great story.
I'm not going to lie, Ange exclaiming "She took his dick?!?" in such an upset voice had me laughing on the verge of tears. I can't WAIT to see yall react to the rest of this show
you two are the goats of anime reaction, you take things in stride so well. It's a weird show, it's going to have weird stuff, and laughing and enjoying the weirdness is the best way to enjoy it! Can't wait to watch the rest together
As a manga reader, I'm amused by everyone's first reaction to the weenie and banana mentions, because of how the series progresses. Looking forward to the reactions for the next episodes! 🤣
I travelled to Japan and Bhuddism with Indian concepts came to Japan through the Zenkoji temple. I have beads from there and made my wishes there. It is a beautiful place in the mountains of Nagano
Ken Takakura is the name of a famous japanese actor - kind of like the japanese Clint Eastwood like, 60s and 70s films star, so for young people it's weird to like these days. that's why they make a good duet of opposites and similars at the same time, just like aliens and ghosts are different but similar in terms of the unknown and strange
Yukinobu Tatsu has indeed studied how Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsawman) creates rather strange stories 😂 (Yukinobu Tatsu was once the assistant creator/author of Chainsawman btw)
carlie is right! his Name is takakura ken, like her celebrity crush. He(OG ken) is an old japanese actor and when ken hands momo the Jacket and clothes, he doesnt say, that he is awkward. He says that, He is old fashioned. exactly like OG Ken in those old movies. so Anime ken was being a Gentleman and not being awkward. which is really important to the story. i dont know how the english translation fumbled this Bad.
You shouldn't believe who is actually correct in translation without knowing the language yourself. You're getting so much upvotes, but I'm sorry to say, you are incorrect. The line is 自分、不器用ですから. This doesn't really mean old-fashioned, it's only partially implied. 不器用 means klutzy, and not good at doing things. In this case, social interactions. Ken Takakura is a old-school typecast, and that's why the manga translator chose to translate that way, but it's not exactly the context nor does it adhere to nuance. "awkward" is an acceptable translation, maintaining the meaning of a social klutz. I am ACTUALLY a native Japanese, and also natively fluent in English (as you can tell) and I'm telling you they did not "fumble" the translation. The translation you "prefer" is simply much more liberal with its localization, not necessary accurate.
@@borzoiboii-xi6if It is, but by no means is "awkward" unacceptable. The context is far closer to the meaning of the original Japanese line than "old-fashioned". Old-fashion extrapolates the archetype of the characters Ken played, which would be far too self-referential for the boy Ken to be using, teetering on narcissism lol. It's a bit too liberal a change for my liking. I'd rather character lines accurately reflect the context of its meaning, rather than "I changed the line because it sounds cooler to me."
The thing with dandadan, and part of what makes it so great is that it’ll have you laughing from the pure absurdity that happens in the plot and then every once in a while out of nowhere it’ll hit you with an absolute gut punch that’ll leave you crying
the alien being interested in bananas is a reference to the Barney and Betty Hill incident where the guy got abducted by aliens and when he's back on earth he had the urge to check his banana even though he felt nothing anormal.
You guys mentioned the running granny from Mob Psycho (called Dash Granny) in the reaction, and funnily enough, Dash Granny and Turbo Granny are based off the exact same real life urban legend! People have genuinely spread stories about running grandmas haunting tunnels in the real world and works of fiction adapt them.
🤣 I knew this was gonna be fun to watch y'all react to. I went into this episode only having seen one trailer and I'm glad I didn't know much, because I found this first episode completely insane. It seems like we're in for a crazy fun ride and I'm looking forward to it. Also, y'all and the chakras. 😂
I absolutely get Carlie in this, as fun and hype as all of this was, the alien scene was incredibly uncomfortable, and I hope this was the first that's to come
4:54 Finally! Simeon remember running grandma form Mob Psycho! That was a great episode and with a hilarious pay off. Just an older lady speeding like crazy in the tunnel😂
Thankfully, people are saying that they tone down on the “sexual activity”, because “lemme gobble that weenie” was hilarious and tame, but the alien abduction part (even if it is somewhat accurate) took this to a whole different level
"even if it was somewhat accurate" is the lamest excuse I've heard for justifying a grown ass man in his 30's drawing/writing 16 year-old girls in underwear and taking closeup shots of all the weird places. This garbage shouldn't be allowed to exist, it's sickening.
ken takakura is a japanese actor equivelant to clint eastwood. she was saying she wanted to meet someone like the actor and then this kid has the exact same name and said one of the actors lines.
The reason chakra and chi are used so often in Japanese, I'd imagine, is that Buddhism originated in India and spread to Japan through China. Also idt he literally lost his weenie, the granny is just possessing it. GUYS IN THE COMMENTS, I'M ANIME ONLY, DON'T CONFIRM WHETHER I'M RIGHT OR NOT.
8:59 - 9:13 Carlie’s face just being like 😧 the whole time is so accurate though 😂 I was just as shocked at what the heck was happening in front of my eyes 🤯
@ 9:30 I don't know if anyone told you about this, but the chi (ki in Dragon Ball / Japanese culture) and chakra originating from the abdomen is the same concept as "tanden" from Hell's Paradise. Also remember how Iroh in ATLA was teaching Zuko how to redirect lighting by letting the lightning travel through the stomach (tanden) and out the other arm.
I'm so happy you are reacting to this! I do want to point out that the weird fan service with the aliens is not a recurring theme in the story so no need to worry about that. There is no real genre it fits in either lol its a romance, comedy, horror, sci fi, battle shonen, slice of life jumble of wholesome chaos lmao you're both in for a wild ride
The woman in mob psycho 100 is supposed to be the same character as turbo granny. It's an urban legend in japan, a yokai known for look8ng like an elderly woman standing on the highway who runs away if you try to catch up with her
Just wanted to say, I'm watching your Dragon Ball Super reactions, and Ange, you look great man, you've lost a lot of weight and have gotten way more fit. Just wanted to say well done & congrats dude. Thanks for this reaction, this show is hilarious! 😁
While watching your reaction, I realized. She said he is keeping her first time for her hero Ken and as you said, the story is about her helping Ken getting his Winer back. So I think over the story, she is going to fall in love with him, they get his Winer back, and at the end of the story, now the he has his Winer back, she can give him her first time xD
What in the anime is this...?
Very fun ride it's gonna be
PEAK!
the most batashit insane anime you'll ever watch!
on serious note, i know "that" scene is quite uncomfortable, but it's only for episode 1
The best ever! Gonna love this reaction!
answer is : YES
"Carli, hold my hand"
That's gotta be the best reaction to that scene I've seen XD
I felt like I was the one being harassed lmao
I'm glad i watched it in my room because otherwise i would have buried myself after that

NIKU!!!
@@catseyereflex6774 What does she say there!? And will they explain what the banana is?!
The word 'gofer' means errand boy. So what they are implying is whoever loses the bet will run errands for the other person.
for some reason so many reactors don't seem to know that word 😅 I didn't think it was an uncommon term
It's an old American term mostly used in corporate America more than anywhere else. So it's not surprising that most people aren't familiar with it.
@@AlessaParker English is my second language, so I cannot speak to the commonality of the word. But in reactors' defence, I have seen some sophisticated or uncommon words in Anime subtitles. So maybe 'gofer' is a word uncommon to them. 🤗

Ken Takakura is the name of a famous japanese actor - kind of like the japanese Clint Eastwood like, 60s and 70s films star, so for young people it's weird to like these days.
that's why they make a good duet of opposites and similars at the same time, just like aliens and ghosts are different but similar in terms of the unknown and strange
hey guys . im early today! i love DanDaDan, this will continue to be wacky and stuff for sure but be ready for heartbreaking moments as well
Yes the backstories are actually good and emotional
Yukinobu Tatsu has indeed studied how Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsawman) creates rather strange stories 😂
(Yukinobu Tatsu was once the assistant creator/author of Chainsawman btw)
Tanjiro and Power (Chainsaw massacre) teaming up. Love it.
carlie is right! his Name is takakura ken, like her celebrity crush. He(OG ken) is an old japanese actor and when ken hands momo the Jacket and clothes, he doesnt say, that he is awkward.
He says that, He is old fashioned.
exactly like OG Ken in those old movies. so Anime ken was being a Gentleman and not being awkward. which is really important to the story.
i dont know how the english translation fumbled this Bad.
so true! ken is awkward too, but a true Gentleman!
you thought of that yourself?
You shouldn't believe who is actually correct in translation without knowing the language yourself. You're getting so much upvotes, but I'm sorry to say, you are incorrect.
The line is 自分、不器用ですから. This doesn't really mean old-fashioned, it's only partially implied. 不器用 means klutzy, and not good at doing things. In this case, social interactions.

Saw the first 3 eps in the theater. It's really good. Can't wait to pick it back up at ep 4.

LOL can't wait to see their reaction to it ... Wait
ken takakura is a japanese actor equivelant to clint eastwood. she was saying she wanted to meet someone like the actor and then this kid has the exact same name and said one of the actors lines.
VA of Momo (Main Girl), also did voice for Nanahoshi from Mushoku Tensei.
Ken Takakura is starred in the American films The Yakuza（1974）, Black Rain（1989）, and Mr. Baseball（1992）, so you should check those out.
5:43 you just gotta love how Ange jumps from the subtitles more than the jumpscare itself lmao
The reason chakra and chi are used so often in Japanese, I'd imagine, is that Buddhism originated in India and spread to Japan through China.
Also idt he literally lost his weenie, the granny is just possessing it.
GUYS IN THE COMMENTS, I'M ANIME ONLY, DON'T CONFIRM WHETHER I'M RIGHT OR NOT.
8:59 - 9:13 Carlie’s face just being like 😧 the whole time is so accurate though 😂 I was just as shocked at what the heck was happening in front of my eyes 🤯
I’m not completely caught up to the manga as I’m only on chapter 85 but y’all prepare this get even crazier than this
As an enjoyer of the manga, I KNEW that episode one was gonna filter some people. Glad you guys are sticking with it.
LEMME GOBBLE THAT WHAT?!?!😱
edit: after watching the rest of the episode... .... yeah that line will still haunt me.
11:24 Angelo with the HARD hitting question.Pretty sure Okarun is smooth down under for now😅
@ 9:30
I don't know if anyone told you about this, but the chi (ki in Dragon Ball / Japanese culture) and chakra originating from the abdomen is the same concept as "tanden" from Hell's Paradise.
Also remember how Iroh in ATLA was teaching Zuko how to redirect lighting by letting the lightning travel through the stomach (tanden) and out the other arm.
So Momo has a crush on a famous Japanese movie actor "Ken Takakura".
It's kinda like the equivalent of a valley girl having a crush on Clint Eastwood.
Ngl, i was crying after knowing the reason why turbo granny stay at that tunnel
I wonder how Ange is gonna play the intro on the guitar lmao
I'm so happy you are reacting to this! I do want to point out that the weird fan service with the aliens is not a recurring theme in the story so no need to worry about that. There is no real genre it fits in either lol its a romance, comedy, horror, sci fi, battle shonen, slice of life jumble of wholesome chaos lmao you're both in for a wild ride
The woman in mob psycho 100 is supposed to be the same character as turbo granny. It's an urban legend in japan, a yokai known for look8ng like an elderly woman standing on the highway who runs away if you try to catch up with her
Omg I didn't realize it. There was also a running grandma in Mob Psycho
Probably the most fun series you can read right now.
gobble gobble gobble! thanksgiving is right around the corner hehehe
Just wanted to say, I'm watching your Dragon Ball Super reactions, and Ange, you look great man, you've lost a lot of weight and have gotten way more fit. Just wanted to say well done & congrats dude. Thanks for this reaction, this show is hilarious! 😁
Video dropped a minute ago! I checked the channel page at the best time haha.
While watching your reaction, I realized. She said he is keeping her first time for her hero Ken and as you said, the story is about her helping Ken getting his Winer back. So I think over the story, she is going to fall in love with him, they get his Winer back, and at the end of the story, now the he has his Winer back, she can give him her first time xD
