      I am quite sad as Ultraman you didn't mention that the silhouette visual references classic Ultraman opening visual. But hey, this video just talks about what are on the screen rather than what's in the background like they lyrics and references. So yeah.

    The saturated colors and silhouette section of the OP is direct homage to the original Ultraman opening credits. Momo's kick has her earrings looking like Ultra's eyes for a second. Dandadan in general takes a lot of inspiration from Ultraman monsters for its aliens. Another easy easter egg is Serpo's pose is the same used for Ultraman's signature attack.

    Another fun note is the song it self, they make a lot of Japanese occult culture references like the bar "kuwabara, kuwabara, kuwabara" is spoken to ward of missfortune kind of like "knock on wood" or "touch wood" gesture. They also mention Sadako and Kayako which is ghosts from Japanese horror movies. If you guys want too see more i recommend looking at Creepy nuts english translation of Otonoke here on yt.

    I just love the art style of those print-like images, the ones that look like they were pressed onto a sheet of paper. That mix of slower shots with little movement in contrast with the otherwise frenetic pace sets it apart. Also, this is some of the best color work I've seen since Kyousougiga.

    I LITERALLY just finished the manga to the current chapters yesterday. So I've been seeing this opening in a new light. It's SO good, lol
    Also I sort of noticed that it seems like the MCs are done as normal, most of the occult monsters are done in that sort of sketchy painty style, while the aliens are almost all sort of flat and minimalistic. Even Okarun when he transforms dons the rough painted style over his normal style. It's very nice, tying to occult being very primal while aliens are very scifi.

  • @Bluethymestrategy
    @Bluethymestrategy Месяц назад +68

    9:44 This isn't just the moon and skeletons. These are the two direct forces, Yo-Kais and Aliens. In Ep.1 of the show, the UFO was in place of the moon when Momo and Ken destroyed the alien attempting to "reproduce". On the other hand, these are some of the most popular Yo-Kai in Japanese myth. Kasa-oboke and Gashadokuro are the two primary spirits shown. Yo-Kai are somewhat (basically) ghosts, who have specific powers and abilities. These are the two primary powers at play in the series.

    • @napkins1833
      @napkins1833 Месяц назад +3

      Agreed. So far with a quick search I'm quite sure the shown yokai/evil spirits are from left to right:
      -Gashadokuro (holding another spirit I can't seem to figure out I think????)
      -Kasa-obake
      -Komainu
      -Tābo Babā / ターボババア
      -Acrobatic Silky / アクさら / アクロバティックさらさら (The hair is visible just right below Turbo granny)
      -Onbusuman / オンブスマン / Obariyon or Konaki-jiji
      -Evil Eye / 邪視
      It was actually pretty fun reading about the urban legend of Turbo granny. I recommend reading about her on the en Namu wiki with apparently a movie based of of the legend called "The Crone" / "Kosoku Baba" by Eisuke Naito.

    • @cornyboi932
      @cornyboi932 Месяц назад +2

      Its showing essentially the different sources of powers for the crew:
      Turbo Granny, Acrobatic Silky, Onbusman and the Evil Eye below on the "earth side" and then the planet or moon covered in sigils representing the Kur or just aliens in general

  • @Kokuki39
    @Kokuki39 Месяц назад +4

    Also, in Japanese golden balls are usually referring to the literal sack, which fits well in this short scene of Okarun making this transformation stance 3:51. They usually refer to them as golden balls or family jewels.

    This breakdown of the *Dandadan* opening is fascinating. The way Science Saru manages to blend character-driven storytelling with visual cues in just a minute speaks volumes about their attention to detail. I love how you pointed out the use of color, especially the deliberate choice of red, yellow, and blue to highlight character contrasts and connections-it feels like every frame is packed with meaning. The balance of hip-hop vibes with horror elements, not to mention the nod to reaction faces, makes the opening feel uniquely dynamic. It’s so much more than just an "opener," it’s a mini story in itself!

      Either that, or it's contrasting with the next shot. The trees have eyes likely referencing paranormal spirits, while the next shot shows a distant planet likely related to aliens.

  • @chrisheartman9263
    @chrisheartman9263 Месяц назад +9

    WRONG on the colour scheme. Momo has always been a blue-ish green in the opening, like when she uses her whole power in the anime itself and like her earrings when she's coloured blue in the initial part of the opening, her being coloured blue, I think, is a nod to her being influenced by Okarun.
    The actual colour schemes are: Okarun is royal blue and a bit of yellow, Momo is seafoam green and a bit of pink (like spirit energy), and Turbo Baba is crimson.

I had to listen to the instrumental to catch it but it clearly says it. I wonder if Yukinobu Status was researching this as well for bizarre occult stories or if it could somehow make it into the Dandadan story.

    Also about Okarun's yokai form, some people have pointed out (specifically Ive seen it on reddit) that the less human Okarun looks (teeth-mask-muzzle-thing covering his mouth, being drawn in that looser scribbly form/not in full detail, etc) the less connected to his own humanity is or the more Turbo Granny has control of him. Felt like it was relevant

    I think the yellow color of the character represents his old self (before the events of the anime) and him drawn in blue shows his current state (along with the female character) that's why the balls are painted yellow since only the character from the past has them lol
    and also in the anime it shows the female character trying to control her powers and seeing Grandma Turbo's spirit as a flame, that's why the main character when transformed takes on this kind of fluid form, which is very similar to the visualization of the female character

    Great video. Color-wise, I think both Okarun and Momo are a mix of red and blue. Okarun is naturally blue, but his powers are red, while Momo is naturally red and her powers are blue. So, Turbo Granny is all red, while Seiko is all blue. Just my two cents, could be wrong.

    (Creepy Nuts is made up of R-Shitei, back-to-back national freestyle rap champion, and DJ Matsunaga, world champion of DJing competitions)
    R-Shitei also made plenty of references to japanese traditions and occult stories in the lyrics:
    "kuwabara kuwabara kuwabara" refers to a saying used in warding off misfortune
    "sada-chan" and "kaya-chan" are references to famous ghosts from a japanese horror movie franchise
    "haireta haireta haireta" translates to "i'm inside" and is a phrase a monster from a famous 4chan story would repeatedly say after possessing people
    and plenty more

    The forest is actually from the Mongolian Death Worm Arc, if I'm not mistaken.

    I think Ken'S yellow theme color is when he has his balls and blue when he loses his balls.

    One maybe coincidental thing i noticed was when okkarun is running in turbo granny form its animated VERY similarly to how Akira runs in Devilman Crybaby another science saru anime. I bring it up because these two characters too me have similar demenours and personalities (especially before Akira gets his powers) is it probably just same animation staff working on it? Yeah

      A big part is that it's a very small studio so it's likely the same people, but I like the theory that they're referencing their older works!
