Previous Episode Recap
Episode 10 of Dandadan picks up after the dramatic events of episode 9. The focus shifts back to the high school setting and the interpersonal dynamics between the main characters. After being attacked by Nessie and rescued by Ayase and Takakura, Shiratori is shaken but tries to play down the incident.
However, rumors quickly begin to spread about what happened. Some students believe that Ayase is responsible for attacking Shiratori, fueling animosity towards her. Takakura and Ayase try to figure out what really happened and search for clues.
Meanwhile, Shiratori struggles with the attention and gossip surrounding her. She confesses to her friends that she started the false rumor about Ayase sleeping with anyone, taking the blame upon herself.
Suddenly, the Dover Demon reappears, spewing white fluid (still trying to fight despite being heavily injured) and we get to know his sad backstory. He is doing this hired muscle work because of his son who has some rare disease and needs blood transfusion daily to be alive.
Dover Demon gets rescued and treated to his wounds by Momo. The Dover Demon expresses remorse for injuring the others and the hardship its son is facing. Takakura offers his “weenie” to save the son, but Ayase scolds him. Ayase criticizes Shiratori for not supporting Takakura’s efforts to help, even though she claims to be his partner. The Dover Demon acknowledges Ayase’s words and decides to leave, promising not to harm Takakura
The episode ends with Ayase and Takakura reflecting on the encounter, and Ayase wondering if what they saw was actually a kappa. The preview for episode 11 hints at a potential “first love” storyline.
