New Episode of Dandadan Almost Reaches the Highest Rating on IMDb
What episode is this? Aira, a classmate of Okarun and Momo, was swallowed by a ghost named Acrobatic Silky and died in the process. The ghost had been stalking Aira for a long time because Aira mistakenly confused her with her own mother, which is why Acrobatic Silky saw her as her own daughter.
After the ghost offered to sacrifice its own soul for Aira, Aira’s past was revealed, which was intense. Before her death, she was a mother of a young daughter. To give her daughter a good life, she worked as a prostitute at night.
She also loves ballet, leading to a beautiful scene where she dances for herself. We can see the clip in the video by YouTuber Upscale Studio’s:
But one day, the family life was disrupted by a raid in which the young daughter was kidnapped. The mother’s wrists were slashed by shards of glass, causing her to collapse during the chase on the street and be resurrected as a ghost. This is why she was so happy when Aira mistook her for her own mother. Even at the end, when she revived Aira, she received a comforting hug before dissolving forever.
