While the serpent creature itself isn’t Godzilla (it’s Nessie), that Breath Attack it performed was a reference to the end of the Shin Godzilla movie, the film covering the eyes, the large blast that was shrunk and compressed into a tiny laser that caused massive destruction.

@@javirek3772 I mean she's understandably delusional. Her dad probably spoiled her but not too much to make her THAT literal entitled karen. She's still has a heart.
@@javirek3772I think its cause the show is self aware that she is. Its all over her dialog. "Im a human and..youre a demon..It'll never work between us!" sounds like those melodramatic romance lines. Classic Romeo and Juliet type of thing. The English VA does a good job portraying that.
Serpoians are all male so they don't have females in their species so they wanted humans mainly females reproduction organs but they after Okarun's powers
just adding a little bit more info: the monster's name in this episode is Nessie and the design was influenced by Godzilla, but Nessie itself is an actual legend/lore/or sighting, since the old days, of the Loch Ness monster (aka Nessie). The description of it in photos/illustrations is just like how Godzilla is about to rise from the waters, or something like a camel (w/ the humps and all) submerged in half in a lake
why does no one know who the loch ness monster is anymore 😭 of all the reactions, I havent seen anyone guessing this. They just called it a snake, a dinosaur, an eel, godzilla (well cant blame them with that one), and this time, its Lapras which is actually pretty close 😅😅
Most I’ve seen nail it being Nessie, variety is the spice of life. Besides, Nessie’s size, form, and capability is ultimately vague. Those who think it’s larger than a school hallway would never presume that without the characters saying so. Most don’t think it has a breath beam. As it goes.
They are the *Normies* after all. They seem to have decided on dub and if thats what they themselves prefer, they should stick to it. Personally, I'll sit their reactions out from now on.
@@MinscS2 Damn, I feel old now. When I was much younger, Normies was used by Trekkies and the other hardcore "nerds" that didn't want to share their fandom with others. I thought nobody used it anymore and here we are lol. It's the early 90s all-over again.
@@kagani6202 Yepp, clicked the video because I was baited by their title. Haven't watched the actual reaction and I wont be clicking any future Dandadan reacts from them either. As someone who prefers sub, I also naturally prefers reacts to sub, not dub.
its just proof they dont respect or like other cultures. can only consume shows when they "speak american!" you better believe they watched RRR in sub. almost like they think japanese are lesser than other ethnicities.
14:12 this shin Godzilla reference is cool asf ngl I mean it's literally the exact scene, shin Godzilla looks down and opens its jaw, it's eyelid closes, as it throws up a wide smoke, then it focuses into a beam that slices the buildings in half
Aira is a nut but she brings an extra bit of chaos to a story that is more entertaining the more chaotic it is. Ep 7, 8 and 9 are key to defining her true character.
Didn't we just see them talk about Mantis Shrimps and how it cracked Momo's ruler with a punch? Pretty sure that's a Mantis Shrimp monster at the end there. And the other one's just Nessie with Shin Godzilla powers. Not sure about these being "Pokemon inspired." But I don't know much about the mangaka so idk
In fairness Pokemon are based on similar things (well maybe except for Hitmon Chan/Lee) But I've seen a couple of people work though the snake, boat, etc list and eventually land on Locke Ness Monster.
I think they are eating zarusoba, a type of cold noodle popular in the summer. My mom used to put ice cubes on the noodles so they would be extra cold.
I just assumed Porn in the anime world would be what we conceive as Hentai so her dad’s stash would be hentai which lines up to her beliefs of how romance works hentai can be very cheesy
No hentai is animated porn multiple anime have shown to have animated tv shows and regular tv shows it wouldn't make sense for a anime to only have anime and hentai defiantly if the anime is based in Japan
For whatever reason, if you turn on the subtitles for the dub, subtitles won't appear when Japanese appears on screen. I found that out in the scene when Aira is telegraphing to her friends what she's trying to say.
Fr it doesn't even matter 😭 dubbed is 100 percent better at least you understand what their saying in subbed your just reading it does make sense though people love reading
They're not really flipping tho, they seem to have decided on dub for the rest of the season now, but are to pussy to own up to it and say it because they know they'll get ratio:d and get less views. Instead they try to play both sides of the fanbase with titles like "Dubs and Subs unite..."
They're not flipping anymore, they've settled on dub but won't own up and openly say it it because it will get them ratio:d and less views. They should stick to dub because it's clearly what they themselves prefer, but don't trick people with titles like "Dubs and Subs unite"...
Oh yeah, the Netflix version does transcribe that scene! But the rest of the subtitles are not matching the dub, its just the direct sub used for the japanese audio
I think you missed the part when Aira was looking at the “movie” it was actually last episode, with the colour and sound and all, but still… it’s so funny hahaha
Just want y'all to know that both versions are great and whatever you prefer is great. Don't listen to the haters, enjoy the show how you like. You got my support either way!
If you guys didn’t have the closed captions on, the kanji text at the beginning of the episode would have been translated normally so you could understand it
I don’t see the issue with them switching translations half way through, you’re watching the same show and you can easily find anybody else watching sub
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE US, NO ONE THERE HAVE TTHE BRAIN TO READ AND SEE AN IMAGE AT THE SAME TIME, PLUS THEY DON´T LIKE TO READ, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR THEIR SIMPLE MINDS
Damn they completely switched to dub, I wish they continued with the sub(which they probably should've since Dandadan is a new show and sub generally will have more viewer retention)
Hey, for Saturday, can you share who will be on the couch for The Substance? I’m not asking to giggle at who will have the most explosive reaction, but to judge if you’ll have what I think is an important makeup to understand important aspects of the movie. ?
Surj was mostly right, except "Skinemax" is a GenX term. Because we grew up with cable TV, and Cinemax channel after a certain time of night was guaranteed soft-core porn.
I haven't read the manga, but I'm just guessing, could it be that the aliens are pulling those artificial dimensions from Okarun's mind? The ship in the first episode looks like what you'd imagine a very stereotypical alien ship to look like, the sumo wrestler is something that they would know from Japanese culture, and this one all seemed subtly based off of video games. Just a dumb guess based on nothing.
Hey guys ignore the criticism about watching this in dub. Both are great but most times I catch up on RUclips videos while walking my dog. Having to try to read the tiny subtitles…make me sooo bummed out..
Can't wait for this video to get a bunch of dislikes, drop in viewership, then have them complain about lack of views in a later episode like what happened with Kaijuu no 8. Dub is simply not what the actual majority want not the fake majority you blatantly lied about lol. any ways if its dub from now on i'll be sure to avoid. enjoy
This is just my personal opinion so no one, please take personal offense. But for people complaining that they’re watching the dub instead of the sub come off, really annoying and pigheaded. When anime was first being dubbed and translated there weren’t that many people who were both fluent in speaking, writing and reading Japanese kanji. So the dub dialogue wasn’t very accurate to the actual written works of the manga. But now that the field has expanded and blown up in the West since the 90’s we’re getting more people who are bilingual and are able to translate the finer nuances of certain Japanese cultural references that are only really understood and known to people who have grown up in Japan and or lived there for sometime and are intimately familiar with the culture outside of just common pulp culture knowledge . So certain jokes that we Westerners wouldn’t understand are tweaked so the jokes are something that we can understand so it’s as close to the original meaning as possible, you should be judging the vocal performances of these actors instead of acting like snobby purest. Because you would be the same people that would claim such fantastic vocal work like cowboy bebop, FMAB and such other legendary dubbing crap instead of giving the kudos to the actors and actresses who put in the work. If you prefer one language to the other, that’s fine, but don’t try to bully other people into watching the sub because you view it to be superior.
When it's ghosts it happens in their immediate space, aliens bring them to "empty space" separate from their actual space.
Which is interesting because it's usually the other way around

With the Hajime no Ippo stance. What a instant classic.
Aira is just a chuunibyou deep down, now that she has powers, her true powerful potential of a chuunibyou has been unlocked😂
oh god this is the most correct and hilarious explanation ever, reminds me of a certain knight captain in Overlord

Yes, she is. She keeps on with the Red Ranger persona.
The scene with the Loch Ness felt like another anime. The animation felt so different and 3D like.... Loved it👌🏿
it's a reference from the movie shin godzilla
While the serpent creature itself isn’t Godzilla (it’s Nessie), that Breath Attack it performed was a reference to the end of the Shin Godzilla movie, the film covering the eyes, the large blast that was shrunk and compressed into a tiny laser that caused massive destruction.

Instantly what i thought, first backstory I actually cried hard on
SHHHH!
I personally prefer the voice acting in the sub but goddamn the script for the dub is so much better than the subtitle translations lol.
Pretty sure it's like almost word for word the exact lines from the english translated manga.
@@msj3888 Almost, but there are enough differences to make it fun and worth watching
I don't know about that, Okarun calling everyone "babe" in dub is omegacringe, and doesn't have nearly the same subtelty of familiarity as "-chan".
@@MinscS2 Not really that cringe.. it’s consistent with his “nonchalant” persona after he transforms.
@@MinscS2 I agree, though.
Aira's so dumb and delusional! I love her!!
She's got major Main Character Syndrome.
but some how she is likable at least for me compare to other characters in different anime’s like her, don’t know why😂😂
@@javirek3772 I mean she's understandably delusional. Her dad probably spoiled her but not too much to make her THAT literal entitled karen. She's still has a heart.
She is our delusional queen who gets rewarded for her delusions by suddenly gaining powers. The universe might as well have reaffirmed her fantasies.
@@javirek3772I think its cause the show is self aware that she is. Its all over her dialog. "Im a human and..youre a demon..It'll never work between us!" sounds like those melodramatic romance lines. Classic Romeo and Juliet type of thing. The English VA does a good job portraying that.
Nobody noticed Granny told Okarun to do the "One Punch Man" work out. She added extentions but the rest is the same workout Saitama does.
I think they called it out before in episode 3 when Seiko said they needed to get stronger and it sounded like a training arch was about to start.
I'm loving Aira more and more, might be my favorite character. She's hilarious and I love hair powers. Time to Bayonetta some aliens, girl!
