Anime

Dandadan fans imagine each protagonist’s favorite video games, and the choices couldn’t be better

What titles would characters like Okarun or Momo spend hundreds of hours playing?

Momo y Five Nights at Freddy's

This year saw the release of many anime that went on to become hugely popular worldwide, but none managed to hit as hard as Dandadan. The adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga stood out from the rest thanks to its vibrant combination of action, humor and supernatural elements, as well as the great charisma of its main characters. Okarun, Momo and company quickly won a special place in the hearts of fans.

This led one Reddit user to wonder what video games Dandadan’s protagonists would play in their spare time, and his answer couldn’t have been more interesting. According to this user, good old Okarun would satisfy his obsession with aliens and the unknown with the likes of Prey and No Man’s Sky, although he would also occasionally defend Earth alongside his newfound friends in Helldivers 2.

Momo, for her part, would prefer to play horror games like Phasmophobia or Five Nights at Freddy’s, though she wouldn’t say no to trying It Takes Two at Okarun’s request, although the comments mention that she canonically plays Halo in the manga. Aira would love to play titles as diverse as Genshin Impact, Dark Souls III, or Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. As for Jiji, nothing would suit him better than being a freak who only plays ranked games on Valorant. How about Turbo Granny and Seiko? You can only imagine them playing Candy Crush.

Dandadan is one of the best adaptations of the decade

Science SARU is another reason for Dandadan’s great success. The creators of Devilman Crybaby were responsible for an excellent adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga.
