Winning in life has many meanings, I mean when you feel you finally made it or you did something which equates to you achieving your dreams or you made enough money(I mean yeah) or even when you feel you scored a girl way out of your league, so yeah, but hey here, in the context of this series, it’s Okarun finally getting someone he could term as a friend. I agree the tough part this episode was actually proving the “friend” part is a practical reality Okarun’s gonna live from here on, but yeah, gotta give it to this series again. When you’ve people like that around, things rarely ever go the way you want lmaooo.

Still was hilarious, how we “almost” got a KISS this early when both were ghosting each other. Btw, I actually forgot Aira was like THAT initially back when she was introduced lol. Still no worries, as the girl would fix her attitude and she’s here to stay. Again, as I said last time, the discovery of a lifetime will soon fall upon these people, and yeah, it being none other than, OKARUN LIVING WITHOUT HIS BALLS was just this series at its peak creativity lol. You actually do need to find balls here, just to keep so many sayings around the balls alive xD
Again, stating the obvious, but yeah, Science Saru is literally nailing everything about this adaptation.

Well that gives a whole new meaning to having your balls drop.

Speaking of drops, Momo defending Okarun's honor just might be the most satisfying falling basin gag ever

So that's where the maneki neko comes from.

How the hell did Okarun not notice his balls missing earlier lmao, that means he'd been holding his piss since the night before, at least.

Back to school life and a new female character is introduced. And things start to get serious at the end only for Turbo Granny to come back as a neko doll? I'm loving this cast of characters so much. I hope Turbo Granny sticks around for a while in the story. She's hilarious.

In other anime, spirit that possess the protagonist mostly have the same gender as the protagonist (9-tailed fox, Sakuna, Zangetsu, etc.), so Dandadan is really a breath of fresh air.

Momo's switch up when she saw Aira shit talking like a bitch was beautiful. Liked the chill vibes of this episode.

You thought Turbo Granny was gone? Mayumi Tanaka is too much of a legend to have her voice a character that briefly.

It was a healthy episode, despite everything. We had the adaptation of Okarun and Momo's kiss, we also had Grandma Turbo turning into a "cat", it was really funny to see her in agony on the floor lol. It is from the next episode that Dandandan will finally advance in the plot, we will see our boy Okaru fighting for his balls🙏😔

That said... Best episode so far. It was cute, funny and a little dramatic at times...

Okarun attempts to break out of his loner shell and get closer to Momo. We also get to meet some bitchy pink palette swap of Momo. Turbo Granny has somehow managed to survive and steal Okarun's balls, though I'm not sure Okarun ever had balls to begin with. Here comes the next arc, I guess.

This was really unexpected because I thought Turbo Granny had disappeared but it turned out she had entered Okarun's body.

Even so, she is now safe under control and the remaining power that is still inside Okarun can now be useful for Okarun.

Seriously how should one feel about Granny Turbo, I mean she is a vile evil entity and yet now she's spotting a new furry body with Tony Chopper levels of adorableness.

It felt like they were taking it really slow this episode, but now that it ended, I can't believe how much they went through. Was that really 24 minutes?

Awkward friendship, back to school life, fighting and making up, new character, new problem, an old character returns in an adorable new body.

Very charming, weird and entertaining, even when they're not destroying entire cities.

I loved the first half of this episode. It was like a little romcom episode. I almost forgot that Okarun or I should say Ken Takakura is an awkward kid and he has no friends in his class. So, it felt good when Momo stood up for him. I hate that pink-haired bitch already. Also, their accidental "kiss" was cute lmao. I liked the previous episodes but this might be my favorite episode yet just for the interactions. I like wacky moments but I like it when anime put aside the wacky stuff for a while and focus more on emotional stuff for a bit more. I love how Momo's now interested in aliens while Okarun's now interested in ghosts. The two are so cute.

Wait, that lucky cat is freaking Turbo Granny??? Wtf. I thought the Turbo Granny arc was over but I guess not. That is one persistent and petty-as-heck old hag. And Okarun's balls are now gone... That sucks. But at least he still has the stick. But how did he not notice until now? Ig that's cause he got used to not having a dick for a while... How did he piss without a dick anyway? Did he get a pussy while his dick was gone?

Anyway, can't wait to see what happens next.

Fitting Dandadan Thursday falls on Halloween.

Momo and Okarun dying to talk to each other in the first half of the episode is so cute. Could’ve gone with a whole episode of romcom stuff honestly lol. The accidental kiss was also really cute, but I hate how Momo tried to act fake in front of her friends once she got a lil embarrassed. Don’t be ashamed of your man, girl!

So I finally get that manga panel that people been posting on Twitter for years, but looks like they cut out the “my balls are gone” line from it. Still funny as hell that Okarun didn’t think to check his whole genital area and just assumed it was all good lol.

Aira is cute and all, but she deserved that hit to the head for being an asshole to Okarun. Momo do not play about him at all 😂

Turbo granny in cat form is pretty cute, you almost forget that she tried killing Okarun and Momo just last episode lmao. But where tf are Okarun balls if not with her? Need the next episode asap!

Great change of pace and focussing on the meet-again in school after some pretty insane adventures is exactly what was required. We need these slower, character-driven episodes to really appreciate the insanity that came before and will happen after. And in the end we already got the next set-up for what we're getting into.

The way they handled those awkward interactions were pretty refreshing and I loved every second of it. Even the typical chliche of searching for each other and always missing one another by chance was done pretty well.

I loved how Ayase defended Okarun from that girl, just cinema 🚬

Okarun has a free vasectomy xd, however, being a teenager, in full development and without anything that generates the necessary testosterone... I think he does need to get his balls back xd

While I'm loving this anime, I hope this doesn't become one of those clichés where the two female mcs both like the Okarun. it's already obvious that Momo has feelings for him, especially after this episode so there's no reason to have romantic drama in an anime like this.

While I love the interactions between Okarun and Momo in this episode, this better not be one of those series that tease their romantic feelings for each other but doesn't actually put them together by the end. This episode made it obvious that there is something there so I hope the author goes all out because if not, what's the point of all these implied moments?
