\u201cThis isn\u2019t forever. We haven\u2019t seen our last peaceful day.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The above prediction, delivered by the invader Yuriko shortly before her death, seems unlikely to come true. In these four episodes alone, we see a military operation on a college campus, the continued activities of a young adult vigilante group, AI-powered bipedal robots equipped with automatic weapons, and the proliferation of hostile businesses and smartphone apps, all of which result in the mass death of invaders. A resistance group aimed at stopping this violence has begun distributing plastic guns to its members, promising human-on-human conflict. The mothership hovering over Tokyo is now emitting white smoke, signaling the imminent explosion of its internal reactor, which will blanket the earth with an endless rain of contaminants. Hell, the show itself is throwing messages such as \u201c5 DAYS UNTIL THE END OF HUMANITY\u201d on screen to highlight this seemingly inevitable disaster (that one constitutes the final shot of episode 13).<\/p>\n

Being an adaptation of an Inio Asano manga, Dead Dead Demon was always going to have a bleak outlook on humanity\u2019s future, no matter how high-concept it got. That it puts the lie to an alien\u2019s hopes for peace is a logical extension of that pessimism. But there\u2019s a tiny undercurrent of hope to these episodes in the character of Ooba, which I find strongly appealing. As an invader in the body of a human being, he bridges the gap between the two species, and his evolving ties with his human friends compel him to \u201cprotect everyone\u201d \u2013 a declaration he makes after Ontan expresses her fear that something terrible is going to happen. Ooba\u2019s relationship to Ontan is particularly complex, as it\u2019s recently taken a turn for the romantic, but he can\u2019t be completely honest with her, since he wants to shield her from the truth of humanity\u2019s impending extinction. Toward the end of episode 12, she pleads with him, \u201cDon\u2019t go anywhere,\u201d but Ooba doesn\u2019t answer, knowing that the hope he represents will require him to leave her before long.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The upcoming cataclysm, as well as his plans to stop it, aren\u2019t the only things that Ooba keeps secret from his new girlfriend. In episode 10, his memory viewing device (dubbed \u201cmecha mandarin\u201d by Kadode for its round, orange appearance) gives him a glimpse into Ontan\u2019s mind, where he sees the alternate reality in which the two girls came into contact with the alien scout, and all the tragedy that followed. When I saw this scene for the first time, I slotted it into my theory that Ontan was also an invader in a human body, and that she had lost her memories upon arriving in the present timeline. After Dead Dead Demon entered its beach arc, however, the truth was revealed: Ontan was always human, and her other set of memories originated from the timeline where Kadode committed suicide. After the alien scout gave Ontan the option to travel to the present timeline, she took it, and her consciousness sublimated itself into the mind of the present Ontan, resulting in the loquacious personality we know and love. Pretty wild stuff.<\/p>\n

Episode 13 was where these reveals occurred, as the show once again used the mecha mandarin to grant Makoto a look into Ooba\u2019s brain, thus granting us the same learning opportunity. Its balance of new information with a recap of the other timeline was quite well-managed, I thought, but I do have two points of criticism. One lies with the involvement of Ontan\u2019s brother, Hiroshi, in her decision to abandon her Kadode-less timeline and travel to the present one. Why would he go along with the idea, despite being so attached to his sister? His parting speech to her as the doors of the alien\u2019s Shift Machine closed was nice, declaring that he would \u201calways be on her side\u201d (which she would later echo to Kadode in the present), but a siscon allowing their sibling to vanish from reality doesn\u2019t compute for me. Additionally, the depiction of Ontan, Hiroshi, and the alien scout approaching the Shift Machine, while excellent in concept, was ultimately visually lacking. Presenting them as giants and arranging them at odd angles in relation to the smaller landscape were great ideas, but the storyboarding here was too zoomed in most of the time, so the show couldn\u2019t make the most of the contrast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Putting those issues aside, it\u2019s fascinating to consider the differences between the two timelines, as outlined in episode 13. In the \u201coriginal\u201d timeline, where Kadode and Ontan were the ones to stumble upon the alien scout, Kadode\u2019s horrifying use of his futuristic tech convinced the alien that humanity was \u201carrogant and violent\u201d and \u201cnot capable of coexistence,\u201d and he relayed that message back to his homeworld. That means the show\u2019s present violence against the invaders, as well as the potential annihilation of the human race, wouldn\u2019t have occurred in the original timeline, had Ontan opted to stay there. At least, that\u2019s what the scout claims \u2013 but there\u2019s a counter to this theory present in episode 12, courtesy of an invader that Ooba attempts to save from Kenichi (the vigilante leader of the Unified Youth Front). As he lies dying after the attack, the invader speculates that \u201cwe were never supposed to make it back\u201d \u2013 that their leadership had sold them a false promise of easily \u201cretaking their ancestral lands,\u201d but that in reality, they had used them as the first wave of bodies in a deliberately engineered conflict with humanity.<\/p>\n

Is the invader correct about his government\u2019s malicious intentions, or did Ontan truly usher in an avoidable future by hopping timelines, prioritizing Kadode\u2019s survival over all else? Did the invaders truly live on Earth before humanity, or is that propaganda designed to motivate them to serve as soldiers in an eventual war? At this point in Dead Dead Demon\u2019s run, we don\u2019t have the answers to these questions. I\u2019ve seen the whole series at this point, and honestly, I don\u2019t remember whether those issues are ever cleared up, or whether they\u2019re ultimately important enough to raise in the first place. The complexity of the show\u2019s multiple plots and timelines makes it hard for my fuzzy old brain to analyze, but I do want to mention some of its other story threads here, because there\u2019s more to address than just what\u2019s happening within our primary trio\u2019s sphere of influence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Episode 11 in particular devotes most of its time to secondary characters, with Kadode and Ontan not appearing until nearly 15 minutes into its run. To aid the audience in processing this change of focus, its three stories are all built around a similar theme: tension between aggressors and pacifists. The most important of the three occurs in a nearby prefecture contaminated with black fog, where a colony of invaders has taken up residence. One of them, Tsutomu, is a pacifist, who carries with him the hopeful spirit of his deceased lover Yuriko (whose quote opened up this post). He\u2019s outnumbered, however, by those who want revenge against humanity, especially after a pair of autonomous Fujin units slaughter the majority of the colony. Despite the horrific nature of that attack, there\u2019s more than a little irony to it, as the Fujin are decked out in cutesy polka dot and floral armor, designed by idol-slash-artist Dorii Rattatta. The episode establishes this connection during the cold open\u2019s Cool Japan Paradise expo, which exemplifies Inio Asano\u2019s sense of humor \u2013 using otaku bullshit as a futile mask for the horrors of modern life (in this case, AI-driven mass murder bots).<\/p>\n

Aside from the pacifist-aggressor dynamic between Tsutomu and the invaders\u2019 leadership, there\u2019s also a confrontation between Futaba and Kenichi at a SHIP demonstration, where the latter espouses his views on the futility of peaceful protest. Of course, Kenichi doesn\u2019t propose a viable alternative to SHIP\u2019s ineffectual calls for peace, and there\u2019s the obvious issue of his psychopathy at play, as we see him killing invaders at multiple points across these four episodes. But there\u2019s a kernel of truth in his twisted logic, which is that violence is necessary to enact truly meaningful change \u2013 he just has the wrong group in his crosshairs. On the flip side, we have Ikeda, the JSDF officer who\u2019s been involved in several anti-invader operations thus far (including the one on the girls\u2019 college campus), taking leave to visit his family. It\u2019s possible that he\u2019s killed as many or more invaders as Kenichi, despite having come to recognize their intelligence, but he sides with neither his aggressive parents, whose nationalist leanings are abundantly clear, nor his pacifist sister, whose online slacktivism is ineffectual (much like SHIP\u2019s virtually inaudible protests) in a world that favors hate over tolerance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s so much more to write, not only about these four episodes but about this show as a whole. With our Anime of the Year post coming up, however, most of my anime-related attention is going to other (mostly lesser) series from 2024, so I\u2019m not sure when the final Dead Dead Demon post will appear. Honestly, there\u2019s a possibility that it never will \u2013 the combination of my real life obligations and our declining activity on the site may lead to a timeline where the last batch of episodes never receives coverage. Regardless of my personal failings as a blogger, though, I hope some of you out there watched and enjoyed this show, as it\u2019s certainly one of the most ambitious that the previous year had to offer. Expect it to rank highly on my list (though not necessarily our joint list) of 2024\u2019s best anime, which ought to appear within a couple weeks. Until then!<\/p>\n
