The first season of Danddan has officially ended today with the release of its final episode. The Season 1 finale was everything we expected and more. It included some quirky but entertaining events that had us on the edge of our seats. However, like every episode of Science SARU’s anime series, episode 12 was also full of mysteries. So, if you’re wondering what the Dand-Dan ending means, here’s your answer.
Okarun crosses paths with Aira Shiratori
One day, while looking for Momo Ayase, Okarun encounters cute pink haired girl Named Aira Shiratori. Unlike most of the girls at her school, Aira immediately begins to act kind towards him.
However, soon, we find out that the girl just wanted to show other students how beautiful and polite she is. When she talks dirty about Okarun in front of her friends, Momo overhears everything and immediately uses her powers to teach Aira a lesson. Using her psychokinesis powers, Momo drops a tub on Aira’s head.

Seiko believes that Okarun is still not free from Turbo Grandma’s curse, so she asks Momo to bring a doll and place an amulet on it. Then, she stabs Okarun with a weapon and asks Momo if she saw anything. Momo says that when Seiko hit Okarun, the aura inside her changed. Seiko told him to take it out whenever the aura changed color.
However, when Okarun becomes possessed by Seiko again, and Momo tries to act according to her grandmother’s instructions, the aura disappears. The next moment, Okaran, Momo and Seiko are shocked to see the doll moving. The doll starts running, and when Momo finally catches up to it, she panics, learning that it is none other than Turbo Grandma, whom she and Okarun had chased away earlier.
Turbo Granny tells how eagerly she is waiting to take revenge from them.
After Aira comes acrobatic Silky
One day, Aira explained to her friend that she could see a woman in a red dress standing on the ground. However, his friend is unable to catch a glimpse of the woman. Later, Turbo Granny reveals the mysterious woman’s arrival to Okaru and Momo. Furthermore, she also says that she believes some student may have picked up one of Okarun’s balls, and that is why the yōkai came to the school’s premises. For those unaware, the reproductive organs of humans contain high spiritual energy, and this is why yokai and aliens are obsessed with it.
Aira and her friends try to harm Momo because she hurt Aira earlier by dropping the tub on her head. However, before they can harm Momo, the acrobatic Silky arrives and captures Aira. Acro Silky says that Aira is her daughter, so she wants the girl to come with her. Okarun transforms into his devil form and fights Satan. However, the boy is swallowed by the yōkai while Momo tries to help him.
Later, when Aira misbehaves with Momo, Acro Silky swallows her as well. With no one left to ask for help, Momo asks Turbo Granny to support her. However, the yokai of the elderly woman reject her, saying that she has no powers.
Later, Acro Silky also eats Momo, but the girls use Aira’s lighter to set her on fire from the inside, and since the yokai put some of her hair in her mouth, she cannot prevent the consequences. So, she vomits out Okarun, Momo, and Aira. However, the pink-haired girl remains unconscious and after checking her pulse everyone realizes that she is dead.
Aira comes back to life
Turbo Granny says that Aira can no longer be saved, but Okarun and Momo refuse to give up. Our male hero gives her CPR, but the efforts go in vain. When they are about to remove their guards, Acro Silky arrives, and this time, she is in no mood to harm them.
Instead, she offers help and asks Momo and Okarun to transfer her aura to Aira and bring her back to life. The yokai even tears off its mouth so that it can gain Momo’s trust that it will not try to eat Aira. While transferring Acro Silky’s aura, Momo discovers her painful past Before bringing Aira back to life.

Subsequently, when the classroom was filled with water and no one was visible around, Okarun became suspicious. On the other hand, Aira and Momo also face the same situation, and Aira believes that Aira is responsible for everything.
Momo encounters a snake-like creature coming towards her. Okarun also becomes aware of the creature’s arrival after hearing its sound. He then tells Aira about his and Momo’s experience with the Flatwoods Monster. However, before he heads towards Snake to fight, he encounters a crab-headed alien, so he tells Aira to run away. Soon, Serpo aliens appear, and this time, they have come up with a new technology called ‘Awesome Field,
The aliens capture Okarun and throw Aira away, believing him to be a normal human not worthy of entering the realm. The aliens want to remove Okarun’s reproductive organs, and the boy feels helpless as he is unable to transform into his monster form. However, when the aliens are about to dismember the boy’s reproductive organs, Aira, in a new avatar, saves him. Okarun learns that Acro Silky has transferred his powers to the girl.
Momo, Okarun, and Aira struggle to fight these supernatural creatures, but ultimately, they are victorious against their enemies. However, even though the situation is normal, they have to run away as every student in the school sees the trio naked in the corridor.
