One thing I've noticed in recent (non Vamola-exclusive chapters) is that we're not seeing a lot of Okarun. At the end of the most recent chapter, on the page where we see everyone's reaction to Vamola's story, his face is turned away, even as he's in the center. Like at this point he's Goku running along Snake Way and I'm expecting him to do something absolutely ludicrous with the whole "the key is in the spirals" thing he got from the Grannies.

Oh absolutely. Last time we saw him in full he put his game face on while eating in an epic panel. He’s going to show up and kick a lot off butt. He already did so in the first fight and now he’s motivated.

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

Should be easy, Okarun had him on the ropes last time until the Momo copy cat started interfering.

Mr. Shrimp isn't actually lying about being stronger underwater. Real Life Mantis Shrimp punch so hard that they cause the water around the point of impact to boil and create bubbles. Then water rushes back in to fill that space creating a 2nd impact which has been calculated to sometimes exceed the force of the initial punch. So when he's transformed he has full access to the unique biology of the Mantis Shrimp which lets their fists accelerate equivalent to the speed of a small calibur bullet being fired, and he's a big boy not a simple shrimp. The end result is a punch that's not only stupid fast, but would basically have the equivalent of Big O's pilebunker followup whenever he strikes something underwater. His namesake punches the poo poo out of hard shelled creatures to eat, and that Ayylmao fits the category.

Mr. Shrimp also gave probably the coldest last lines of the Dandadagang after no-selling being injected with venom and pummeled to near death. He's simply the perfect character; a great father, a strong fighter, and a total bro fighting for his friends. It is no surprise that whenever a Mantis Shrimp themed character shows up in a story, he's my favorite. Thinking about Keiji from Terra Formars.

It also pulls its punches if it’s not in the water.

I love Evil Eye waving and then threatening Okarun in the next panel.

It was a really good example of showing and not telling. A lesser manga would have had the yokai go, "Ah, these feelings...why, at a time like this? I see...as expected, Momo Ayase, your bonds with your nakama are strong. It can't be helped."

Anyway, really looking forward to more zany relationship antics and good Jiji faces.

Yeah, her not saying anything and just going away reminiscing is fantastic. She doesn’t feel a bond or respect, she just doesn’t want to be responsible for what she herself became and that’s not something you talk about.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned here yet, but interesting potential reference: people are pointing out in the Japanese comments for this chapter that Zuma’s name (Zuma Unji) is remarkably similar to Jumanji

That’s so close it hard to imagine it a coincidence. Better be on the look out for other potential references.

Mr Jumanji had better stick around.

I wonder why he still has powers, either the ball or maybe because it’s transformation based.

I don’t know. It never felt anti climactic to me. Main reason being they beat the boss (barely) in an all out brawl that was filled with cool moments. but the enemy had spares we knew that. It was always going to be some deus ex machina, but tying that back to Reiko who was hanging around like a gigantic sword of Damocles above momo this entire arc, shows up at the worst time as expected but then responds to love and adds 2 amazing spreads to solve it via her pre established power set just sells it as epic to me.

Honestly, it’s perfect.
