WHAT?! ..... SILKY WUT. These transformations are insanely cool. Now I'm craving a Turbo Granny/Silky battle lol That would look SICK!!! Let me know what you think below!! Really curious to see what happens in the next episode 💞
I love how Aira is just writing her own fanfiction about everything that's going on. Girl is out here trying to be the main character of a Twilight novel and it's hilarious.
So a really cool detail I've noticed so far is that all of the yokai are traditionally animated and all the aliens are 3D animated. So Nessie is an alien.
I was going based on the color scheme - I guess it hasn't been consistent, but the aliens were blue (and greyscale), but the spirits have been red/pink (and maybe orange with boxing dude?)
@@drgnicefireit seems like each paranormal incident has its own color. And all of them are in the opening btw. About the CGI thing I was thinking the same but it seems like they go for the less animated ones (sumo and Nessie and crab) with CGI and the more detailed ones (turbo granny. Silky and now Mr shrimp) with 2D animation
That's not true at all, sorry. Nessie and the Flatwoods monsters were 3D, but so was the crab spirit for the most part. And the main aliens, the Serpoians, are 2D both in their disguises and out, and Mr Mantis Shrimp is 2D as well (unless that changes with his true form, but I doubt it), and he's an alien.
@@lucifermagne7458so you are correct, but I've read that they like to use more 3d for aliens because they are inhuman and draw yokais more because they are deeply human. But as you say it isn't an absolute - they also use 3d for a lot of very human moments (like the mother and daughter in EP 7)
I'm definitely conditioned to watch THIS anime every Thursdays (as soon as it's released) and then to search my fave reactors quickly dropping their vids later the same day, only to grind the entire week just to do it all over again!!! Committed.
Only reason I don't despise them is because they're actual aliens who operate on different perspectives literally worlds apart. Don't feel bad when they get their asses whooped tho
@@TheSledgehammer205 its both, its intended to be nessie in the actual show, but its also intended to be a shin godzilla reference on a more meta level.
I really liked the Nessie/godzilla looking creature in this episode it was kinda creepy but also dope. The sound design on its breath attack was dope as hell
People have been shining the manga for a long time and now I know why. The absurdist comedy, the high concept fantasy, the grand adventure and the real emotion (both the mature and immature drama feel equally genuine). This already feels like a classic even though it's just starting. Man I hope the story is able to maintain this level.
I read It and the anime is turning something that was amazing in absolute cinema. The color contrast, the va dinamic in the dialogs and the songs they are using to translate the manga is perfection.
Aira being the wrecking ball flying into the momo and okarun relationship is really fun. Her contrast with momo where, aira has few inhibitions but very little self awareness and momo has great self awareness but a lot of inhibitions is just great writing.
@@unknownbenefactor8029 he's not really competition tbh, despite his first impressions, which is why I love Dandadan because it doesn't go down the whole stupid love triangle thing that it makes you think it's going for
@@lucifermagne7458 true, I still want him(the upcoming character) and Aira together though. Aira deserves someone who loves her in return. Will they be together? Don't answer it. I don't want to be spoiled.
@@unknownbenefactor8029Why specifically with him? It's one thing for to want a happy relationship, and another to want it specifically with him. Honestly, I'm against such plot points. It's already boring and looks terrible
I already know that the more we get the true Aira and not the popular/pretty girl facade, the more im gonna grow to love her as a character. Shes making up all of these crazy narratives in her head because she has no way to control or deal with her feelings and emotions and has struggled to properly cope and deal with the loss of her mother. At a young age like that it is hard to find people who understand how you feel losing something so significant like that and it can definitely make you feel ostracized socially with others within your own head so i feel she doesn't quite understand how to cope with that and desperately needs people in her life who will come to know her, sympathize with her, and understand what shes going through if she can finally open up to them.
It's always great when a reactor can provide a perspective/information that most people without their specific background would not be able to recognize.
After last episode I was excited to see you react to Aira's transformation. She fights with Silky's hair and ballet/acrobatics, which I'm sure you'll appreciate.
Aira is great because she's just a beautiful idiot. She's not ill intentioned, she just literally thinks she's the main character and God's gift to the world. I know people are upset because she's disrupting the MomOkarun ship, but to be fair, they aren't dating and you can't blame Aira for shooting her shot, lol.
It's amazing how this story has many stories within. Like the whole Aira having the misunderstanding is in anime of its own, she as the MC of her own little world. Insanely good writing. Same with Momo. Same with Ken. And so on . . .
I've been reading Dandadan since chapter 10 or something like that and what really gets me excited is not just how well it's animated, but actually how good of an adaptation it is. Everything that happens is like you ripped it straight out the manga and gave it ideal sound design animation and voice acting. The consistency that Science Saru have given these first 8 episodes, if they can keep it up all season I have no doubt it'll become an all-timer. It's a jack of all trades anime where it's never going to have the peak storytelling you'd expect from AoT or the unreal choreography you get in JJK but it does great enough in those and other categories that it's a safe bet for S-Tier. I just can't wait for season 2 and beyond, so much in store so many more characters to meet. There's an umbrella related character who became a fan favourite but you unfortunately won't meet him until season 2. Undead Unluck could really have used the same treatment as that often gets put in the same ballpark as this but unfortunately the early bits of the story, while still interesting, aren't as good as you'd expect of a show that needs to be renewed for several seasons. Not the fault of the studio although they definitely could've put more effort into some areas the story just doesn't pop off until what would be seasons 2 and 3. Given the first season didn't break any records it might not get a second season which is a shame, it took longer to mature than its peers but the result of that is really really enjoyable chapters week in week out.
I just want to say that the monster in this episode is a really cool horror concept. A monster that can only see through ripples in the water and can detect you by sending out its own ripples and waiting if the ripples return. Kinda like a radar.
And Aira's Acro Silky form has ballerina touch in her moves. FYI: Aira wasn't a ballerina, Acro Silky human was. But because of the fusion, whenever Aira transforms, she moves and fights like a ballerina.
I constantly forget that Dan Da Dan is basically an adult anime - just straight up having Aira looking at porn and not understanding it is so hilarious
Just a note The noodle they eat initially is called 'sou-men', with a famous product called 'kinu-no-ito (translated as 'thread of silk').' Recall after beating turbo-granny, they ate crabs. They usually eat something related to what they beat. Probably one of the reasons that Aira could see silky when young is because, in Japan, children under 7 are regarded as belonging to the world of god (it's because the mortality rate under 7 was high historically). Having spiritual powers, Aira could see her but lost her powers because of aging.
FYI, the DDD official X has announced the Kensuke Ushio DDD OST for release on Dec 18. That's an OST that might just be my cruising soundtrack! They also announced Taito Toys release of a "transformed Okarun" figurine. Tamashii Web have Okarun and Momo non-transformed and chibi figures. I'll be in Tokyo for new years and will definitely check these out.
I find it funny that you commented that Aira and Okurun by the end *looks* like a potential great couple, but you're still not shipping them over Momo x Okurun. Because that's literally exactly how I felt at the end of this episode, and I'm so glad to hear I wasn't the only one not afraid to acknowledge it. I watch the show weekly with my boyfriend, and the first thing I said to him at the end of this one was something along the lines of this: I love how Aira and Okurun's transformations (and their now revealed shared awkwardness and inexperience) make it seem like they're kind of a perfect fit together, almost making you wanna ship them just a little bit. Yet clearly the true end goal is Okurun and Momo, showing that love is not about finding the "perfect match", or about an overwhelming crush from a "grand romantic gestures" like Aira attributed to Okurun risking his life to save her. Love is ordinary, and it just happens through shared experience and time spent together with someone who you just vibe with in the right way.
@@no_matter. Exactly, nothing makes sense about Ken and Momo's growing crush for each other, to either of them. But if that isn't just the perfect representation of the experience of falling in love, then I don't know what is
This is why the Dub on this is peak. When she's congratulating Okarun in the Dub she says something like "congratulations Okarun, our one-balled wonder."
Thanks for another great reaction, i can't wait for next weeks episode, also if you're looking for new anime that have a similar vibe you should check out Space Dandy its really good
I really appreciate Okarun realizing that, even though he didn't actually do anything with Aira, the only reason there was even an opportunity for Momo to misunderstand was because he *did* lie to her and it was something he realizes he should have just been honest about from the start. He didn't betray her, but he did give her a reason to be suspicious.
A smart woman once told me "If you go looking for something hard enough, you''re going to find it." it really sucks when you stumble into stuff like that, but momo def went lookin for it. She's got nothing to worry about though.
I find it funny that so many girls cheer for Momo and Ken i get it so do i because they are so similar and they dislike Aria for Ken, but when it comes to how they treat him Aria treats him better to be honest sure she was mean to him during there first meeting, but uh so was Momo and Momo has not stopped being mean sure she does nice things as well, but she is like 50/50 where Aria was mean once and then went straight into puppy love for him, so technically you are all cheering for the mean girl and dissing the one that shows affection and states her true feelings and communicates =.=. Sure, Aria thinks she is the main character, but we are all a little mad down here.
@@ThanesTito she kinda is, if you read the manga she ends up leading the group and protecting them all, so her main character act is just a premonition, and she starts to grow and realize she doesn't really love ken but teases him like she does just to mess with him, you got to recall they are still kids and learning how to cope with social dramas and discovering themselves, but still Aria is so much sweeter and open to discuss things, while mom just get jealous all the time and shuts ken out even when she misunderstands the situation and treats him like crap. Ken and her do vibe for sure, but that's also because she is his first friend and he tries so hard to keep her as a friend, thus why he is always chasing her he even confessed that after he lost his balls when they were walking home. A smart person once told me dont chase the ones you love go for the ones that love you.
Aira has been granted demon powers, in order to vanquish the demon queen herself Momo. She's so delusional, which is part of her character trait I think and we should understanding after all she's "The cutest" being.
Some meta commentary. Aira's VA is BFFs with Okarun's VA's wife to the point where she's an aunt-like figure to Okarun's VA's kids so it's kinda funny to think that in her role she's throwing herself onto Okarun😂
I'm confused by the colour tints here. So far it was the aliens, who had the blue and the yokai, who had the red or orange. But here, while initially everything has a blue tint, it switches to orange, once the boxer/Abba fan alien turns up. oO Is the implication that this boxer is actually a yokai, who either allies with the aliens, or is somehow controlled by them? With the dinosaur, the enviroment is also tinted blue, so is that an alien too, maybe one sent to keep Momo from interfering with their abduction of Ken? With Aira being in the OP with a partial skull mask, I expected her to get a transformation somewhat like Ken's, the moment Silkie told Momo to transfer her aura into Aira, so no surprise there for me. There is a fourth person in the OP, a boy... and we still have one golden ball missing. If I had to make a guess, it's this boy who picked up the ball and will become involved with the current three that way.
Having read the manga (no spoilers, don't worry) I think the color thing entirely depends on the individual character/yokai/alien. It doesn't really matter what "faction" they're a part of. And the boy, I won't say what his involvement is, but he's one of the best characters and his existence leads into one of the best arcs in the series. Which I hope is animated at the end of this season, instead of having to wait till next season, because it's soooooo good
finally love triangle😂 & Aira's ability awaken by Aku-Sara's power (Captain Tsubasa) vs Serpo(3 of Roronoa Zoro) w/ Shako(mantis shrimp)alien(Sanemi Shinazugawa D. Slayer & 🐼Panda Jujutsu K.) coming also Okalun ganna involved more than love triangle later😂😂😂
I'm a fan of the channel Great channel, good job Anime suggestions: Girl Band Cry, Dark Gathering, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, Grimgar...
the aliens thought their spiritual powers got something to do with their reproductive organs bc they don't have them so they really think its gotta be that they are lacking
@@Christopher-m2q the personality are their own still, just the powers. the shift in their tone of speech is more of their fully embraced emotions, since they harbor negative spiritual energy from the yokais so it tend to make them more straight forward and some a bit "negative" in their manner of speech
the whole ordeal with the aliens and spirits and the humans in dandadan, earth living beings including spiritual beings has this insane spiritual energy potential which part of it revolves on their emotional drive. be it a negative or positive one.. which the aliens doesn't have. the aliens wanted to be as "powerful" as the humans and yokais and they think the idea is something biological. so they wanted to be as biologically perfect as humans. while its a matter of rather a whole different thing. heart, mind and soul.. which also is what the aliens are lacking, essentially. the series is ultimately about embracing horrors and trauma then overcoming it with love and compassion
I knew Arai's voice was familiar to me. She was Ochako's voice from Boku no Hero Academia and now she has the power of the mother like Okarun and yes the aliens are back, poor Okarun can’t catch a break and poor Momo thinks she’s being cheated on. 😂
I'm really loving your new set up Flexie 😍, couldn't wait for the shippuden streams I had to know how your set up is looking, can't wait when you return to stream shippuden Flexie 🙌🏽
Please forgive me for slightly revealing the plot of the manga ahead. Her abilities will be the most stable because her mother has given her everything completely. If anything happens later, she can be considered the most reliable member. Thank you, Mom. Additionally, I am an Asian viewer, and I truly admire your sincere emotions. They are incredibly beautiful, and your mother must be very proud of you. 請原諒我稍微透露漫畫後面的內容，她的能力將會是最穩定，因為媽媽已經完整地給予了她一切。未來如果發生什麼事，她可以說是最可靠的成員。感謝媽媽。 另外，我是一位亞洲的觀眾，我非常欣賞妳誠摯的感情，那真是十分美妙，你的母親一定為你感到驕傲自豪。 意思基本保持一致，無重大改變。
Its been a rough one to recover from taking 2 critical hits between the Dan da dan episode and the 3 episode part of naruto shippuuden......but i think we will all be alright.
Look, I'm not going to keep it together if it turns out Nessie there has a tragic backstory where it was the Ugly Duckling and got bullied by all of the other ducks.
If there's one thing I hate in any anime, TV show, movie, it's the trope of walking in on someone at exactly the wrong time. I just can't stomach it as a plot device :(
That's the best thing about Dandadan, is that this doesn't last long, it's not dragged on or anything. After this mini arc it's cleared up and everything goes back to how it normally is. No unnecessary Momo not believing him, no, they just clear it up like normal people
WHAT?! ..... SILKY WUT. These transformations are insanely cool. Now I'm craving a Turbo Granny/Silky battle lol That would look SICK!!! Let me know what you think below!! Really curious to see what happens in the next episode 💞
Turbo granny vs silky won't even be a fight granny would wipe the floor with her. Remember how granny called her a nobody,she meant that.
just wait for Jiji 😤
@@arifarrafi3302yes one of the yokai which can actually battle or beat granny is evil eye.
Nah I want them to fight TOGETHER! hahah
@@FlexiejayAnimeonly one character left ,jiji
Ya'll no way 🤯 - they animated the "dinosaur" alien's special beam straight from Shin Godzilla's atomic blast, literally one to one and its amazing
I know for sure it’s the lochness monster but with shin Godzilla abilities lmao the shape is too much like the lochness
@@SoulCaptain2870 It's definetaly lochness, but the whole animation and texture are definitely shin godzilla reference
@@huyle-ob8rg It's just Shin Godzilla in a lochness monster shape, I can't forgot that ugly face of shin godzilla, that's just him.
I love how Aira is just writing her own fanfiction about everything that's going on. Girl is out here trying to be the main character of a Twilight novel and it's hilarious.
Girl is a perfect candidate to become a swiftie.
@@biffin1123 😂😂
She is nothing compared to another character that gets introduced later on
aira thinks shes sailor moon.
the twilight novel girl is later. but wont be this season.
"How do we transition from an emotional milestone back to the antics of aliens and ghosts?" *AGGRESSIVE SLURPING*

I'm with you! I've got my Okarun figure on pre order, and I'm keeping my eye out for Aira's.
This episode was sick with the water monster and the transformations, glad the funny moments are back too
creative people truly elevated the source. subtle details like okarun running after momo with weights on.

The song the Alien with the boxing gloves is singing (the chi-chi sounds) is "Chiquitita" by ABBA for anyone wondering. "Chiquitita, you and I cry!"
Thanks for another great reaction, i can't wait for next weeks episode, also if you're looking for new anime that have a similar vibe you should check out Space Dandy its really good
Let's goo he got a ball back
Silky still taking care of Aira even after she died
The aliens really went like "Domain Expansion: Banana Stealing Operation"
I really appreciate Okarun realizing that, even though he didn't actually do anything with Aira, the only reason there was even an opportunity for Momo to misunderstand was because he *did* lie to her and it was something he realizes he should have just been honest about from the start. He didn't betray her, but he did give her a reason to be suspicious.
A smart woman once told me "If you go looking for something hard enough, you''re going to find it."
it really sucks when you stumble into stuff like that, but momo def went lookin for it.
She's got nothing to worry about though.
Momo after almost being killed by godzilla:
"Anyway, where's okarun?"
Poor Okarun, I mean at least Momo got to keep her underwear when the Serpos captured her.
7:16 YATTA !! 😂
Can't wait for his another ball 😂
Yo love you're vids the first video I've seen of you was the ep6 dandadan reaction and I got attached love you're video major fan
You should do an Aria/(maybe Silky?) cosplay!
Ah Kaijus in this anime. If only.
Also Aira's eyes in the transformation. Freaking hot.
Kaijus? In this series? Well...
Seiko's bat has wrote " Nessie's power " u can see it when she captured turbo granny ep3😂
I find it funny that so many girls cheer for Momo and Ken i get it so do i because they are so similar and they dislike Aria for Ken, but when it comes to how they treat him Aria treats him better to be honest sure she was mean to him during there first meeting, but uh so was Momo and Momo has not stopped being mean sure she does nice things as well, but she is like 50/50 where Aria was mean once and then went straight into puppy love for him, so technically you are all cheering for the mean girl and dissing the one that shows affection and states her true feelings and communicates =.=. Sure, Aria thinks she is the main character, but we are all a little mad down here.
thing is Momo and Okarun match each other's vibes, while Aria is too wrapped up on her fantasy of being the main character
@@ThanesTito she kinda is, if you read the manga she ends up leading the group and protecting them all, so her main character act is just a premonition, and she starts to grow and realize she doesn't really love ken but teases him like she does just to mess with him, you got to recall they are still kids and learning how to cope with social dramas and discovering themselves, but still Aria is so much sweeter and open to discuss things, while mom just get jealous all the time and shuts ken out even when she misunderstands the situation and treats him like crap. Ken and her do vibe for sure, but that's also because she is his first friend and he tries so hard to keep her as a friend, thus why he is always chasing her he even confessed that after he lost his balls when they were walking home. A smart person once told me dont chase the ones you love go for the ones that love you.
@8:39 that's what we thought too 😂😂😂😂
Aira has been granted demon powers, in order to vanquish the demon queen herself Momo.
She's so delusional, which is part of her character trait I think and we should understanding after all she's "The cutest" being.
I have this feeling that you will love Aira
Some meta commentary. Aira's VA is BFFs with Okarun's VA's wife to the point where she's an aunt-like figure to Okarun's VA's kids so it's kinda funny to think that in her role she's throwing herself onto Okarun😂
I didn't know Aira was going to transform going into the episode but I knew it was coming when I saw the aliens beating down Okarun
12:20 its the loch-ness monster lol
I'm confused by the colour tints here. So far it was the aliens, who had the blue and the yokai, who had the red or orange. But here, while initially everything has a blue tint, it switches to orange, once the boxer/Abba fan alien turns up. oO Is the implication that this boxer is actually a yokai, who either allies with the aliens, or is somehow controlled by them?
With the dinosaur, the enviroment is also tinted blue, so is that an alien too, maybe one sent to keep Momo from interfering with their abduction of Ken?
With Aira being in the OP with a partial skull mask, I expected her to get a transformation somewhat like Ken's, the moment Silkie told Momo to transfer her aura into Aira, so no surprise there for me.
There is a fourth person in the OP, a boy... and we still have one golden ball missing. If I had to make a guess, it's this boy who picked up the ball and will become involved with the current three that way.
Having read the manga (no spoilers, don't worry) I think the color thing entirely depends on the individual character/yokai/alien. It doesn't really matter what "faction" they're a part of.
And the boy, I won't say what his involvement is, but he's one of the best characters and his existence leads into one of the best arcs in the series. Which I hope is animated at the end of this season, instead of having to wait till next season, because it's soooooo good
@lucifermagne7458 Hate to be that guy but that arc won't fit in this season.
@@portalmanHUN are we sure? It depends on how long the season is. If it's 12 episoded then no, it won't. But if it's something like 24, then maybe
finally love triangle😂 & Aira's ability awaken by Aku-Sara's power (Captain Tsubasa) vs Serpo(3 of Roronoa Zoro) w/ Shako(mantis shrimp)alien(Sanemi Shinazugawa D. Slayer & 🐼Panda Jujutsu K.) coming
also Okalun ganna involved more than love triangle later😂😂😂
Aira is definitely on Booktok 😂
I'm a fan of the channel
Great channel, good job
Anime suggestions:
Girl Band Cry,
Dark Gathering,
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai,
Grimgar...
I'm sure in local culture that noodles thing is probably something specific, I found it hilarious.
Man has his junk like 85% rebuilt, LEAVE HIM ALONE 😭
the aliens thought their spiritual powers got something to do with their reproductive organs bc they don't have them so they really think its gotta be that they are lacking
Her spirit body died but i think the same thing that turbo granny and okarun share happened to aria and she fused with her persenality and power
@@Christopher-m2q the personality are their own still, just the powers. the shift in their tone of speech is more of their fully embraced emotions, since they harbor negative spiritual energy from the yokais so it tend to make them more straight forward and some a bit "negative" in their manner of speech
the whole ordeal with the aliens and spirits and the humans in dandadan, earth living beings including spiritual beings has this insane spiritual energy potential which part of it revolves on their emotional drive. be it a negative or positive one.. which the aliens doesn't have. the aliens wanted to be as "powerful" as the humans and yokais and they think the idea is something biological. so they wanted to be as biologically perfect as humans.
while its a matter of rather a whole different thing. heart, mind and soul.. which also is what the aliens are lacking, essentially. the series is ultimately about embracing horrors and trauma then overcoming it with love and compassion
Would you ship Okarun and Aira? They both look similar. And I like how their personalities changed when transformed. 😂
The dinosaur that appeared to Momo looks like Shin Godzilla 2016
Yes, especially with that laser atomic breath
Okarun's slowly becoming a chick magnet. He's got that Okarizz
And to think Aira ain't even the last who gets unintentionally rizzed up 😭
I knew Arai's voice was familiar to me. She was Ochako's voice from Boku no Hero Academia and now she has the power of the mother like Okarun and yes the aliens are back, poor Okarun can’t catch a break and poor Momo thinks she’s being cheated on. 😂
This episode felt like it was 5 minutes
愛羅のキスシーン馬鹿可愛い😊
I'm really loving your new set up Flexie 😍, couldn't wait for the shippuden streams I had to know how your set up is looking, can't wait when you return to stream shippuden Flexie 🙌🏽
If you see a balerina pose, please point it out because i love when people point out certain things about their passion
Aira silky mode cosplay? you would be able to do the moves yes.
Aira's delusion is funny but her henshin is quite badass.
SPOILER
Aira essentially becomes a leader for the group. And yes there will be more than them. Jiji my bro is gonna make his debut soon!
Please forgive me for slightly revealing the plot of the manga ahead. Her abilities will be the most stable because her mother has given her everything completely. If anything happens later, she can be considered the most reliable member. Thank you, Mom.
Additionally, I am an Asian viewer, and I truly admire your sincere emotions. They are incredibly beautiful, and your mother must be very proud of you.
請原諒我稍微透露漫畫後面的內容，她的能力將會是最穩定，因為媽媽已經完整地給予了她一切。未來如果發生什麼事，她可以說是最可靠的成員。感謝媽媽。
另外，我是一位亞洲的觀眾，我非常欣賞妳誠摯的感情，那真是十分美妙，你的母親一定為你感到驕傲自豪。
意思基本保持一致，無重大改變。
Its been a rough one to recover from taking 2 critical hits between the Dan da dan episode and the 3 episode part of naruto shippuuden......but i think we will all be alright.
Ken never had experience with love but thankfully he knows way more than her
I did not expected a shin godzilla from dan da dan
Look, I'm not going to keep it together if it turns out Nessie there has a tragic backstory where it was the Ugly Duckling and got bullied by all of the other ducks.
6 minutes gang here!!!
U can tell an episode is good when it feels like it lasted only 5 minutes.
Hear me out Flexie, Step 1. Cosplay Aira Silky, Step 2. Ballet Poses, Step 3. Profit
If there's one thing I hate in any anime, TV show, movie, it's the trope of walking in on someone at exactly the wrong time.
I just can't stomach it as a plot device :(
That's the best thing about Dandadan, is that this doesn't last long, it's not dragged on or anything. After this mini arc it's cleared up and everything goes back to how it normally is. No unnecessary Momo not believing him, no, they just clear it up like normal people
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Annie Leonhart from Attack on Titan
