8 – Turbo Granny

A prime example of just how Dandadan can make something utterly absurd into pure entertainment is Turbo Granny. She is an old yokai who swears a lot and has a cat-like face and natural speed; she is creepy and funny in equal parts. The fact that her actions are very unpredictable, she will switch from threatening to strangely supportive, adds an edge to every scene she appears in. Technically, Turbo Granny is the narrative wild card; her weird advice and weird alliances keep the story dynamic. This is mainly because of her presence, both in assisting the main cast and creating all sorts of trouble, which is her comedic timing and awkward antics that make her impossible to forget.

7 – Aira Shiratori

Aira is a kind of dramatic functionality combined with witty mercilessness. She is confident and competitive, being in a rush to dive into the battlefield at times without thinking things through. Her interactions with the other characters, especially when she is engaged in tense moments or when there are comedic moments, depict her as a person who can balance action with levity. Aira is someone we can all relate to because of her confidence and her sometimes vulnerable nature, as well as her witty retorts and emotional expressions, so we never forget that she is present. Her presence can learn a simple fight into a personality-filled scene.

6 – Jiji

Jiji is an interesting mixture of handsome and awkward, so he is an outstanding character in Dandadan. He, as a character, is the frequent provider of unintentional humor with his misunderstandings or overdramatic responses. His backstory adds emotional heft to him, but his comedic rapport with the other members of the ensemble is what truly makes him one of the most enjoyable characters of the show. The fact that he finds himself in ludicrous circumstances or attempts and fails at being serious enough endears Jiji to the readers as a comic relief and an emotionally relatable person.

5 – Seiko Ayase

Another extremely surprising and potentially entertaining character in Dandadan is Seiko Ayase, the grandmother of Momo. She is a spiritual medium who possesses a lot of knowledge about the supernatural, and as such, she is an authority figure, but not without levity and self-assurance. Her joking around with younger characters and the fact that she remains unperturbed by the occurrence of absurd situations are memorable moments. Seiko is an anchor in many scenes and, similar to the other characters, adds her humor to it through her deadpan delivery and her teasing at times. She demonstrates how even a mentor character could take centre-stage when she is made to show personality and charisma.

---

4 – Alien Serpo

Alien Serpo is also one of the weirdest and at the same time likeable characters of Dandadan. Being an alien of an eccentric nature, Serpo lives on dramatic overtures, bizarre mannerisms, and sudden outbursts of exuberance. It is never-ending to see him overreact to human culture and the relationships of the main cast. On a writing standpoint, Serpo introduces a dimension to the comedy by injecting some sci-fi ridiculousness with everyday embarrassment. His randomness guarantees that no scene could ever feel like something repetitive, and he has become the favorite of the fans who adore chaos.

3 – Momo Ayase

Momo Ayase, one of the main protagonists of Dandadan, is a good example of the effective combination of heartwarming emotion and laughter. Her dominating nature, short temper, and sardonic wit make her churn up many comic situations, mostly when she has to deal with Okarun. Momo makes use of different emotional beats that alternate between serious and almost laugh-out-loud situations, proving the skill of her well-rounded characterization. She is the type of character that can speak and lead a battle one minute and deliver a perfectly timed joke the next one, keeping the mood engrossing and unpredictable.

---

2 – Okarun (Ken Takakura)

Okarun is one of the best representatives of why Dandadan is so fun. As a personality, he relates to that same reluctant hero archetype, but with a slight difference - he is the shy, sometimes overly emotional hero you grow up with and learn to love, becoming comically golden with these traits. His interaction with Momo is a continuous source of comic relief, particularly when they argue, get lost in translation, or work together to go on mindless rampages. The fact that Okarun develops as a fighter and a human being continues to keep readers engaged, but it is his naivete and sweet dumb nature that makes him a first-rate source of amusement.

1 – Turbo Granny’s Possessed Form (Okarun’s Spirit Takeover)

When Turbo Granny has possession of Okarun, it turns into one of the most chaotic and rip-roaring dynamics in Dandadan. This mishmash of a character then deals with the awkwardness that is innate to Okarun and covers it with the overconfident and condescending tendencies, so characteristic of Turbo Granny, which is a combination that forms a perfect hurricane of humor and unpredictability. The conflict between their personalities in a single body is what causes some of the most hilarious moments of the series, not only in the dialogue but also in the physical comedy. But in addition to laughs, this form also introduces a special fighting scene when supernatural capabilities are intermingled with absurd acts. It is the idea that covers all the things that fans enjoy about Dandadan: absurd, fast-paced, and never-ending entertainment.
