What Happened In Dan Da Dan Episode #4?

Okarun Is Finally Freed

Momo and Okarun enter the tunnel to exorcise Turbo Granny, but they quickly find she is way too powerful. Momo decides to taunt Granny into a race, and she gladly obliges due to her confidence in her speed. Unfortunately, Momo is quickly captured and as Okarun is about to be attacked next, he cleverly manages to force her back into his body, and Momo suppresses her from taking over Okarun. Unfortunately for the two, the real danger emerges as the spirit of the tunnel, a huge crab, comes out and attacks them.

The two sprint out of the tunnel with the crab following closely behind, but they manage to stay ahead thanks to Okarun transforming into his Turbo mode. They run all around the city barely managing to outrun the curse, and tricks like boiling the crab to stiffen its muscles and slow it down are only temporary measures. The situation becomes worse when graveyard curses possess people to chase the two down at the request of Turbo Granny, and the two are cornered.

Dan Da Dan Hit With The Kind Of Overseas Censorship Not Seen Since 4Kids' Infamous One Piece Dub

Fans have taken to social media criticizing the intense and unecessary censorship made to Dan Da Dan in certain regions.

Due to quick thinking by Momo, they grab onto a train and Turbo Granny swiftly chases after them and jumps onto the train as well. However, this was a trap and the train was heading outside of the town, where the spirit's powers are weaker and Seiko, Momo's grandma, was waiting at the exit with exorcising charms. The trap worked brilliantly, and Turbo Granny was finally exorcised and Okarun was freed from her grasp. The episode ended with Seiko explaining the origins of Turbo Granny and how she provided comfort to the spirits of girls brutally assaulted and murdered.

Episode #4's Main Highlight Wasn't The Action

While the episode was fantastically animated with explosive and dynamic action sequences, the best bits are at the end. Seiko, in a few lines, made Turbo Granny much more than just an evil curse, and her empathy with victims of sexual assault victims made her much more likable and honorable. Furthermore, Momo saying that she'll see Okarun the next day was a sweet moment, especially when Okarun's face lit up as he realized he and Momo would continue being friends even after Turbo Granny was exorcised.

Another interesting highlight of this episode was the staff's extension of the scene where Okarun and Momo escape from the possessed humans. The studio has shown a great willingness to enhance the source material and keep faithful to it, even the controversial scenes.
