Very great how quickly everyone calls each other turds in this series.

They're all turds in my heart :allears:

The bit with Okarun trying to make right to Grandma behind the scenes is very good.


It really is great. This comic is good when it's action packed, and it's good when it's just teens messing with each other.

I was not ready for the combination Gundam/Nu Gundam/Zaku/Zeong?/Giant Buddha

I expected a giant robot, but Great Buddha Zeta Gundam is the best possible implementation of that idea.

I like the little moments of our side cast chatting with eachother. Jiji asking if Shiratori is even capable of working as a waitress tickled me. Lil sassy guy.
I hope our party stays around this size though and we start getting more into group dynamics now.

It does kinda look like they're going to bring in the class prez soon, but if they do I hope she's the last main crew character they add. Sakata already feels a little superfluous.

Definitely agree on the strength of the characterization of the core crew. Hell, even the side characters that don't show up super frequently are great.

I assume the globalists thing is just going all the way down the rabbit hole. They're not Jews, they're the lizard people that secretly control the government.

Considering we know it's Globalists in katakana, what are the chances that Tatsu knows enough about the conspiracy theory for this to be true?

I love all of these gag images, but I think my favorite one was Aira's weird mishmash, just because it ALSO had Okarun dangling from the thing's mouth. Incredible chapter, as always

is it the "Evil Gun" or maybe one of Piccolo's moves, which are all like "Demon Flash," I wonder

Considering the Kamehameha reference earlier in the chapter, I'm thinking this one is a Galick Gun.

I can't believe it's already chapter 99, time really flies when you're reading a rad manga.

Apparently Dandadan isn't on the Shonen Jump app. Weird!

As per usual, the chapter was great. Huge downer chapter, though. Vamola doesn't deserve this. :(

It’s too highly rated because of its content (re: the first chapter) to be on the app because of mobile store guidelines or something, but as long as you have a Jump subscription you can still read the whole thing there.

Yeah, I usually read the chapter on the Viz website when it goes up, so it was pretty surprising that the app didn't have it. I guess I can see the logic though, that first chapter is...that first chapter.

This chapter sure went to some dark places.

Dandadan's been lowkey pretty dark for a while now. There's a lot of levity, but ever since the current arc villains first showed up it's just been a lot of really bad poo poo happening to the protagonists.

This arc of DanDaDan is manga at its best. LETS GOOOOOOO

It really is incredible. It ties into the present day arc so well and helps really establish the stakes, the characters are all really well realized so it's tragic when they necessarily fall, and it does a lot of work to characterize Vamola that for language barrier reasons hasn't really been possible up until now. It's just a really goddamn good arc.

I really like how much Momo tore up the background in the final few panels of this chapter. It really does a good job of showing how pissed she is, and how much she's gonna beat the poo poo out of that alien.

I'm so glad they're letting everyone use the power of the spirals so far. The drill hair and Evil Eye Gun were so goddamn cool. This manga is so goddamn cool.

I wanna see him flatten that xenomorph-Guyver looking dude he fought last time.

I don't recall, have we seen that guy doing anything in this fight? I think he's still around, ready to get his rear end beat by Okarun's spirals.

What I just noticed is that the alien crew mirrors(ed) the Dandadang in terms of abilities. Which means we doubly need Okarun to show up so he can take down the suited speedster.

That was true even before the end of chapter stinger. Now, they really need all the help they can get.

Supremezero posted:

I think that's mostly down to the big armor's power set. Which... I think is literally The Hand?

Yeah, it seemed like the big armor was erasing things in front of it following the trajectory of its arm swipe. It's at least very similar to The Hand, if not exactly the same.

Holy poo poo, there were so many good panels this week. This chapter is such a good example of how hard Dandadan goes artistically.

Between this and CSM, what an incredible time for ongoing manga.

aira almost always looks particularly cool

It goes back to the creature design in this manga being consistently incredible, and Okarun/Aira's combat forms (which applies to the Evil Eye as well) are basically part creature. It all rules.

I'm even slowly becoming a Kinta fan. I wish Vamola wasn't used as a damsel-in-distress device so much though. Granted, she did get thrown into a world of unimaginable badasses.

Thankfully, Dandadan is very willing to let its female characters be cool as hell, so she'll have her moment eventually.
