Dan Da Dan is quickly becoming a hot topic in the anime community as the dark horse entry for 2024s anime of the year. While many of the shows colorful characters have become the latest obsession for plushie and figurine fanatics the world over, one Japanese toy maker has decided to think outside of the box by instead making a replica of protagonist Okaruns MacGuffins: his golden balls. Earlier today, Japanese entertainment company Furyu Corporation announced a replica would be coming to its storefront next year. In the post on its official X/Twitter account, the Shibuya-based business laid on the charm for the three-dimensional orbs to prospective buyers, saying, Okaruns gold ball is reproduced in actual size. So, at this point, non-Dan Da Dan fans are probably wondering why a company would sell an anime protagonists balls. In the lore of Dan Da Dan, Okaruns balls are filled with magical energy that can grant its wielder a bunch of power. In short, Okaruns golden balls are to Dan Da Dan what Dragon Ball Zs seven wish-granting species are to the Z-fighters. Dont just take our word for it. Heres how Dan Da Dans Turbo Granny explains the spiritual significance of Okaruns lads. However, youll have to do your best to imagine one of Turbo Grannys voice actors (in English, Barbara Goodsonaka Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers; in Japanese, Mayumi Tanakaaka Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece) is reciting the monologue:His balls are covered in a layer of my spiritual energy. Theyre five centimeters across and gold and shiny. Youll know them when you see them. Theyre hard to miss. Them balls are chocked full of a powerful life force now. The kind of energy spirits and yokai are attracted to the most. They believe theyll come back to life if they gather enough items with high life force. Thats why evil spirits attack people, and try to steal life force from them. Dan Da Dans outro does not depict Okaruns balls to scale. Science Saru / Crunchyroll The announcement has already become the accounts most popular post, garnering over 16,000 likes. Its safe to say that many people want a hand on Okaruns balls just as severely as baddies do in the anime. Here are some of our favorite comments from Japanese X/Twitter users on the post.Is it a Christmas tree ornament? one confused commenter asked. This is the first time the main character sells his balls, one person wrote.Its funny to think that Okaruns gold ball has an carved on it, wrote another. At the moment, Okaruns golden orbs dont have a price tag on them, so folks will have to keep tabs on Furyus posting next year to see what it deems a worthy value point for a young mans balls. Whatever the case, it would make a helluva late Christmas gift for any of your anime-loving friends.
