Most Iconic Dandadan Quotes From Our Beloved Characters
Dora NaletilićShare
Dandadan reached a massive success all over the world, especially with the release of the anime series on Netflix. An interesting story with cool characters is what drives this series and attracts more and more fans with every new update, but what makes it even better are the iconic quotes these characters bestowed on us over the course of 180 chapters. This is the ranking of the most iconic quotes of the Dandadan series.
8. Ken Takakura: "My balls are gone!"
People outside of the Dandadan fandom would probably look at these quotes and seriously question our sanity watching this. However, this specific one from Okarun is extremely iconic and emphasizes the whole first story saga—his "balls" are stolen, and he needs to find them. This specific quote has been part of the series from the beginning, and fans are still quoting it today, despite Okarun finally finding his 'family jewels.'
7. Turbo Granny and Seiko: "PLAY BALL"
We had an opportunity to see this particular scene where this quote was said, and it is probably one of the funniest parts of the series ever. After Momo, Ken, Seiko, and Turbo Granny find Okarun's 'ball,' the women of the group decide to use the game of baseball as the way to get boys's 'family jewels' in the right place. And boy, is it hilarious. Turbo Granny pitches, Seiko misses the bat, and Momo calls a strike on her grandmother as Okarun keels in pain after that 'ball' hit his rightful place. This scene is funny in both anime and manga and definitely worth checking out.

6. Ken Takakura: "Why is everyone after my junk!?"
At this moment in the series, Okarun and Momo encountered many enemies that simply want Okarun's privates, and this quote was uttered during the fight against the weird alien race Serpo and other aliens in Kami High School. There have been few instances where Serpo wanted Okarun's privates, especially after finding out that he has Turbo Granny powers. Again, for an outsider, these quotes about Ken's privates would probably put Dandadan fans in an awkward situation, but it doesn't erase the fact that this quote is absolutely iconic.
5. Momo Ayase: "Welcome to the establishment, you piece of shit!"
Okay, if there is one funny quote that truly showcases the entertainment of the Dandadan, it's this one. After Ayase's home gets destroyed, Momo decides to find a part-time job to earn money and help fix the house. She finds work at a tea house as a 'maid,' but what she doesn't expect is her friends dragging Okarun with them. Both teenagers are quite flustered, as they usually are in these situations, but when Momo's boss and her friends encourage her to greet them politely, she utters one of the funniest quotes of all Dandadan series—of course, to Okarun, who is once again flustered and charmed by his crush. This happens in chapter 54 of the manga series, and we recommend you check it out.
4. Jiji: "Such a shweety!"
Jiji as a character is iconic on his own, and his catchphrases are one of the best parts of the show. When Tatsu introduced him to Dandadan fans, everyone thought he would be serious and cool, but he immediately showcased his 'extra' behavior, making him one of the most beloved characters of the series. This quote is usually pointed at Momo, who is his crush, and it simply never gets old.
3. (Old) Turbo Granny: "Let me gobble your schlong!"
Okay, this one is simply filthy, but fans love it because it introduced them to one of the coolest yokai, if not the coolest in the series, Turbo Granny. Now, this one is before she was sealed in the 'cat plushie,' so her look combined with her filthy talk was shocking. This is the moment when poor Okarun realized that his 'family jewels' are in danger and where the series kickstarts its insane journey.

2. Serpo: "Give us your banana organs."
Serpo are just creepy aliens that are looking for reproductive organs of the humans for their own reproduction. They spot Momo and Ken in the wrong spot, and it is an extremely awkward situation, especially for Momo, who almost becomes their victim. This particular quote is iconic due to Momo awakening her powers and showcasing her incredible potential as a spirit medium and psychic.
1. Ken Takakura: "I'm an awkward fellow after all."
Finally, the fan-favorite quote should be by far this one. When Ken utters these words to Momo for the first time ever, she is flabbergasted because this is what she saw in her future—a boy named Ken Takakura will utter those words to her, who will be revealed as her soulmate. Whenever Ken says this quote, Momo swoons and cannot control her feelings. Moreover, this quote is definitely a foundation of the OkaMomo romantic ship and the whole series.
