Interesting Facts about Dandadan Anime Episode 3
In episode 3, the impact of Okarun being overpowered by Turbo Granny becomes more apparent. The unconscious Ayase becomes Turbo Granny’s target, but her efforts are hampered by the appearance of new characters. Below are some interesting facts that appear in the anime Dandadan Episode 3.
1. The Appearance of Grandma Ayase
Previously, Momo Ayase had revealed that her grandmother was one of the most powerful psychics. Her grandmother has extraordinary psychic abilities and has deep knowledge of the supernatural or ghosts.
Dodoria Santa is the name of Momo Ayase’s grandmother. The presence of this new character in episode 3 gives a fresh feel to the Dandadan anime story. With his strength, he managed to seal Turbo Granny who was about to attack Ayase who fainted.
2. Confusion about Evil Spirits from a Haunted Place
After regaining consciousness, Momo Ayase searches for Okarun whom she last saw as Turbo Granny. Her grandmother in the living room asks if Momo went to a haunted place, even though she knows Momo doesn’t believe in ghosts and considers her a fake spirit medium.
Her grandmother insists that evil spirits do not exist. However, Momo apologizes and realizes her mistake and believes in all the supernatural things that happen to her.
3. Ayase’s Guilt towards Okarun
Momo Ayase looked anxious and wanted to check on Okarun. Upon arriving at the shrine, she explained to her grandmother that she felt guilty towards Okarun, because Granny Turbo had taken Okarun’s dick. As long as his dick was in her hands, the curse would not be lifted.
4. Origin of Turbo Granny
In the past, Turbo Granny was known as the 100 km/h Granny. She is a modern-day ghost that runs amok in various places across the country. It used to appear suddenly, but in recent times, it has chosen to dwell in old tunnels, where its spirit energy is particularly strong.
There is also the term Baureksa, which is a term for ghosts that have a strong interest in a place and are considered the strongest in their area. No spirit medium can fight a baureksa. In this context, Turbo Granny has joined the baureksa in the tunnel.
5. Ayase Asked to Come to the Old Tunnel
Ayase lost control of Okarun who was in the toilet while talking to her grandmother. As a result, Turbo Granny appears in Okarun’s body and stops time, leaving only Ayase and Turbo Granny to speak.
Turbo Granny’s curse can spread through Okarun’s body as an intermediary, and can result in the death of everyone, including Okarun and her grandmother. He asks Momo Ayase to visit the old tunnel alone in the middle of the night where Turbo Granny lives.
Those are some interesting facts about the Dandadan anime episode 3 that has aired. Let’s wait for the excitement of the next episode next week.
