i have a question that bugs me a bunch, and i saw another ask about dandadan theories so like, i would love to have your input.
where in the nine hells are okarun's parents, and why does he feel like he's a latchkey kid(kid that basically spends the whole day alone at home because parents are away and working and such, probably worse than in rin's situation)
he never once mentioned them, or ever referenced he gotta call them to let them know he's away in a way that feels deliverate by the author. he also doesnt have a lot of money to spend for necesities like his school uniform or getting something small for momo.
there was a theory that he's secretly an alien and that even he doesnt know it himself, but it was mostly referencing his protagonist traits which doesnt make sense when compared to the other people in the cast anyway.
apologies if its kinda incoherent and rambly, its 2 am here and he's living rent free in my mind
Yess more dandadan theories!!
I think okarun’s parents are probably working all the time and not home which is why he can get away with not being home for a few days and always being out on wacky adventures and coming home all dirty lol. This makes sense because if his family is on the poorer side than of course his parents would be working all the time.
That or perhaps he just doesn’t have a good relationship with his parents. He was lonely when he was a kid and was teased just like momo, but at least momo had her grandma to come back to even if she did push her away. Maybe okarun’s home life isn’t the best and his parents don’t care about what he’s up to so that’s another reason he can get away with being away.
Everybody else’s parents have been mentioned at least once, so it’s definitely weird that we don’t know anything about okarun’s. I’ve never heard of the alien theory, but I can see how it fits! It could help explain why his body was so compatible with turbo granny’s power (even though that’s only cuz turbo granny was holding on real tight to his soul when she got forced out but whatever let’s spice up canon a bit).
Thank you, I love chatting about dandadan so if anyone else has any theories or just rambles about the series I’d love to hear them!
