The previous episode of Dandadan ended with the appearance of a new character, Jin Enjouji, who was introduced as Momo’s childhood friend and first crush. Okarun’s faltering face was clear as day when Jin was introduced, so Okarun’s insecurity and jealousy are a major theme of the latest episode.
In this article, we’ll reveal the release date and speculations for episode 12 of Dandadan. Furthermore, we’ll recap episode 11, which was released recently. This article contains spoilers from the latest episode, so readers, do proceed cautiously.
1. Dandadan Episode 12 Release Date
Episode 12 of Dandadan will be released on Thursday, December 19, 2024. It is a weekly anime, and new episodes are released every Thursday. Watch ‘Dandadan’ on Crunchyroll.
I. Is Dandadan On Break?
No, Dandadan isn’t on break. The next episode will air on Thursday, as per schedule without any delay.
2. Dandadan Episode 11 Recap
Episode 11 of Dandadan starts out with Jin Enjouji’s introduction. We also got to see Okarun filled with anxiety on seeing the new man, who was said to be Momo’s old crush, who was also hot. Although Okarun is quite worried, most viewers wouldn’t consider Jin to be much of a threat, considering the fact that Jin is an absolute weirdo, and Momo doesn’t seem to be interested in him at all.
Later, Jin revealed to Momo that both his parents were hospitalized because of an evil spirit that had taken over his house. He expressed how he was regretful of the fact that he made fun of Momo for seeing spirits, as he is now capable of seeing them and understands the pain Momo went through. He then told her that he was staying with Seiko because of her extraordinary skills. Interestingly enough, Seiko said Momo would be doing her work since Seiko’s powers are restricted to their town only.
The next scene featured Jin transferring to Momo’s class, where he introduced himself while expressing himself weirdly enough to give his classmates the “Weird yet hot playboy” impression. Meanwhile, we got to see Okarun losing his mind in the other classroom, considering the possibility that Momo would completely lose interest in him and stop hanging around with him due to the new boy.
Cut to the lunch hour, Okarun went to work out behind the school to distract himself from his insecurities. Momo found him there and chose to eat her lunch there with him. Jin found them there almost immediately, and this made Okarun feel terrible again. Amidst all this, Okarun saw a human model from the science lab running straight at them. On close inspection, Momo found that the model had a golden ball between his legs, so they chased him all the way.
Momo, Okarun, and Jin found themselves at a dump at the end of their chase. The human model was apparently in search of his lover, who was amidst all the trash at the site. Their romantic reunion invoked some profound feelings within Okarun, and the episode concluded as such.
3. What To Expect In Episode 12 of Dandadan?
Since the current episode ended with Momo having possession over the human model’s heart, it’s unlikely that he’d run away from Momo and their gang. After the couple have their emotional reunion, Momo is likely going to confirm whether the balls that the model has are what they’re searching for. We can see what means they have to retrieve it.
The next episode is unlikely to be focused solely on this, as the mystery behind Jin’s home and his sick parents is still left unattended. Episode 12 may also address this, although not as much as the golden balls that are present before Okarun.
