One Moment in Dandadan Season 1 Changed Okarun

Ken Became Aware of His Feelings After Seeing Taro Propose Hana

Ever since Okarun and Momo crossed paths with one another, it seemed that they were meant to be together. Although their personalities were different, they somehow complemented each other perfectly. Over time, Okarun and Momo have become really close friends. But it is obvious that they do not see themselves as just friends anymore, since they keep feeling pangs of insecurity and jealousy whenever the other gets attention from the opposite sex.

Everything changed after I met you. My world used to be grey, but thanks to you, it became so colorful. You're the one I fell in love with. I won't let you go no matter what! ~ Taro to Hana

Such moments have revealed that the deuteragonists are not meant to be friends forever, and their romance might just be inevitable. However, having a crush is one thing, but dating is another. Although Momo has had relationships in the past, Okarun is completely inexperienced when it comes to romance. It is not out of the ordinary for a teenager to be clueless about love or relationships, but the difficult part is first coming to terms with the feelings that one has never experienced before.

Interestingly, Okarun was lucky enough to see someone else put his emotions into words, which helped him realize what he was truly feeling. When Taro proposed to Hana, he was dumbfounded as it finally dawned on him that he might be in love with Momo. Once he had clarity, Okarun became far more protective of Momo and was extremely jealous whenever she got any closer to Jiji. It was evident that he had decided that he wanted to fight for her attention and hopefully love, but does this mean that he would mature enough to propose soon?

Will Okarun Confess His Feelings?

Dandadan Fans Will Have to Wait for the Proposal

Like the first season, Momo and Okarun are all set to embark on new adventures in the upcoming episodes. Their first challenge will be fighting the mysterious spirit haunting Jiji's home, following which they will run into a mysterious alien from another planet. Some of these adventures are going to make them more aware of their feelings, while others will force them to deal with their insecurities.

Dandadan has finally revealed the number of episodes in Season 2.

Despite having realized what he now feels for Momo, Okarun will find it difficult to propose. There will be moments when he will put his life on the line to protect Ayase. Meanwhile, Momo will frantically search for him first whenever the duo finds themselves in a life-threatening situation. Their natural instincts, more than their words, will reveal what they truly feel for each other.

In one of the scenes, Okarun comes close to confessing their feelings, but like always, they will pull back at the last moment. While their bond is expected to grow stronger in the upcoming season, the deuteragonists are unlikely to start dating anytime soon. But fans who are looking forward to more heartwarming Momo and Okarun moments will not be disa ppointed, as the upcoming arcs will be filled with instances where the duo will take a stand for one another.

Dandadan Season 2 is set to premiere starting July 4, 2025.
