Dala in the Reiwa Era #5 Reactions: Glowed up and selling stuff, punk Dara-san looks so cool too!

Commenter

Wait, is Reiwa Dara-san just getting treated like an errand girl despite being an actual yokai? Lol. The villagers thought they tricked and killed her, only for the older shrine maiden sister to murder them even more w. Now Dara-san's doing house visits, getting a short haircut, and forced to sell stuff at a flea market—she's legit being used as a handyman rn 😂

Commenter

So the origin of Yamadaki Madara-san is Kankandara. In lore, Kankandara shows zero mercy to anyone who steps into its territory, but this version is super rational, serious, caring, and a total sweetheart… just don't piss her off 🐍

Commenter

Oohhh, so that's why they said using it with a clear purpose turns it into something—she got stuffed into a plushie so now mini Dara-san is moving around in the OP and ED lol

Commenter

Dara-san actually remembering being called "Yamada" came in clutch, that was hype 🔥 Also that body pillow stuffed with Dara-san's actual hair is wild high-tier cursed merch ngl.

Commenter

Just caught the new Reiwa Dara-san ep. She's so cute living her best modern life, but the whiplash from the flashback scenes is gonna give me a cold fr…

Commenter

Bruh, the gap between Dara-san's tragic past and this chill modern era in ep 5… Even though she's known the family since the mom's generation, I'm just glad she fits in so well now 😭

Commenter

Ahhh so the younger sister's corpse and the subjugated giant snake fused with some mindless split-off souls just trying to survive, and that's how DARA-san was born… makes total sense.

Commenter

These absolute trash villagers tried to pull more sh*t even after hacking off Dara-san's limbs, I honestly hope they burn in hell for eternity.

Commenter

Watching Dara-san makes time fly so fast I deadass feel like King Crimson skipped a few minutes wtf

Commenter

The curse meant for the mom (which wasn't even triggered) was way too merciful compared to the psycho treatment she gave her own sister! The contrast is insane.

Commenter

Going from such a bloody cold open straight into the usual pop opening is peak anime mood whiplash lmao

Commenter

The older shrine maiden is the only one pulling these unhinged, wide-eyed "I belong in a Kazuhito Fujita manga" faces every so often 💀

Commenter

At first I thought the mini ED Dara-san was just a standard shikigami w, never would've guessed that's how she actually came to be lol

Commenter

Every time we get a serious lore drop I realize it's an absolute miracle the west district didn't just turn into a permanent barren wasteland.

Commenter

She actually sold out every single one lmaooooo 💀💀💀

Commenter

If a punk rock undercut girl was selling old-school lucky charms at a flea market, you'd totally stop and stare too ngl !!!

Commenter

The tonal whiplash between the past and present arcs in this show is gonna hospitalize me istg…

Commenter

And the younger sibling (or brother?) made a stuffed doll/body pillow stuffed with Dara-san's hair? Bro wtf w

Commenter

At Dara-san's level, low-tier evil spirits are literally just a one-punch or a single kick away from getting folded.

Commenter

They actually did the "Ichiro's getting hyped" meme in an anime bro stop 😭😭

Commenter

Chiyo-san and Dara-san were having such a wholesome moment too… and then *that* happened smh lol.

Commenter

Who the hell would guess the ED doll came from *that* kind of backstory smh

Commenter

This episode was juggling serious drama, comedy, and pure horror all at once ✨ Loved it tho !!!

Commenter

Going straight into this upbeat bouncy track right after watching someone get their limbs chopped off a few seconds ago is wild af.

Commenter

Dara-san really will forgive pretty much anything just out of sheer regard for Chiyo-san…

Commenter

This is way too fucking cruel… The older sister is definitely booked a VIP ticket straight to hell.

Commenter

A N D T H E N W E H A V E T H I S O P

Commenter

The sheer concentration of deeply unhinged women in Dara-san is unreal tbh…

Commenter

Basically *everything* is the older shrine maiden's fault, what the hell even happened to her?!

Commenter

The mom still has no idea w Is this some kind of Abbott and Costello sketch? w

Commenter

Hey hey, Dara-san went punk and honestly? Not bad at all, she rocks it.

Commenter

With a backstory this ridiculously messed up, you can't even blame her for hating humans lol.

Commenter

Wait, did they mess up the timeline—oh nvm, the flashback actually filled it in properly.

Commenter

So glad we finally got the lore drop on the origins of tiny Dara-san lol

Commenter

First it was the Kujima plushie, now we're getting Dara-Dara Dara-san merch apparently.

Commenter

DARA-san's out here doing random cosplay again with zero explanation… classic.

Commenter

Young Mom-san! Back when Dara-san was actually terrifying!!

Commenter

The mom actually treated her with absolute fear and respect, but the kids tho www

Commenter

Giving the little sister that tiny sliver of fake pity makes it so much more messed up tbh.

Commenter

That is definitely not the face a trap/crossdressing boy is supposed to be making lmaoooo 💀

Commenter

Oh god, a shikigami right here? This woman is genuinely beyond saving fr.

Commenter

Is this really how the long-awaited reunion with mom goes down lmaooooo

Commenter

They somehow crafted yet another piece of bedding with way too much "stat buff" packed into it w

Commenter

The whole "can't enter unless invited" rule is giving major vampire vibes ngl…

Commenter

Asking a yokai her actual age? And she replies with 26 (deceased) 💀

Commenter

Bro you are definitely not supposed to invite that thing inside your house!!

Commenter

A yokai just straight-up handing out cold hard cash feels super cursed somehow…

Commenter

Dara-san has officially evolved into an intimidating undercut-punk big sis.

Commenter

Forget "hanging around the entrance," she's already sitting right inside the house wwww

Commenter

They're really pushing the envelope for the Reiwa era with this one ngl…

Commenter

She's literally borrowing their clothes lmaooooo 💀

Commenter

She turned into such a ridiculously cool big sis w

Commenter

So *this* is where tiny Dara-san came from !!!!!!!

Commenter

The stuffed Dara-san was totally foreshadowed right here wasn't it.

Commenter

A plushie stuffed with actual hair is just a straight-up cursed item bro wtf?

Commenter

The villagers are absolute scum, but the older shrine maiden is even lower than that.

Commenter

The tonal whiplash between the cold open and the OP is peak Reiwa anime energy…

Commenter

Nah fr tho, can we please skip the overly graphic gore scenes I'm begging 💀

Commenter

Back in the day before LED lights, they had to rely on good old flashlights!

Commenter

Dara-san brought that on herself w Glad it worked out tho 👍

Commenter

Having 6 arms means she can flex the yen sign all by herself!!

Commenter

If she hadn't completely revamped her whole vibe she would've been busted instantly w

Commenter

The show really started off looking like a hardcore horror anime…

Commenter

Honestly, those villagers fully deserve to be cursed down to their last descendant.
