Dandadan Confirms it's Demon Slayer's True Successor With One Powerful Scene

Okarun looks gloomy as Tanjiro is excited in the background

Dandadan is quickly becoming one of this year's standout anime releases, thanks to Science Saru's masterful adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu's original work. The series delivers thrilling action paired with meaningful character development as its narrative unfolds. While its vibrant animation and eccentric humor initially seemed to be its defining strengths, recent episodes have revealed far greater depth.

This pattern is profoundly illustrated in the second yokai villain of Dandadan. The heartbreaking backstory of Acrobatic Silky revealed in episode #7, is deeply moving and sure to bring tears to anyone's eyes. What makes these backstories even more impactful is how they are consistently unveiled after intense action sequences.

The use of 3D CGI elements has always been a controversial topic within the anime community. However, Ufotable has consistently implemented it subtly, ensuring it enhances rather than detracts from the animation’s overall quality. Similarly, Dandadan, despite having only one season, is already incorporating these elements for valid reasons. The series' director recently explained the choice, revealing a thematic connection behind the portrayal of different types of villains.

That said, while the two series share notable similarities, Dandadan is also shaping up to be a culmination of the best elements from shōnen anime released over decades.
