I have never wanted a 10 page end-of-volume art/design spread as much as I want one for this right here:


I love Momo's Alien-Busters shirt+hi-tops, Okarun's coat, Aira's "dress", Jiji's earrings, Shrimp's stance, every goddamn thing about that spread is perfect.

Also I don't know if it was intentional with that chapter or not, but Dandadan chapters release on Tuesdays.

Everyone in this comic is a "rotten tangerine cat turd poo poo for brains moron" as Aira would say. It's why we love it.

Jesus, this art is incredible and I love each and every single one of these characters.

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.

Yeah, they deserve a break after the marathon of the last year's arc. 1 year ago today was the issue with Kinta using the house mecha to powerbomb Vamola's suit.

Centzon Totochtin posted:

Is the vamola calling herself a fellow supposed to be a formal/polite thing or using masculine pronouns thing

Probably the difference between ore, boku, and watashi for saying the masculine "I". Someone with the raws could probably translate which one exactly Okarun is using and passed onto Vamola.

E: probably watashi?

not even sure this chapter necessarily confirms that, seems more like the combo of class rep's vampire fantasy and running into him on the stairs just finally led to someone asking about it

i may be taking this position because i'll be really disappointed if the rest of the school isn't seeing vamola running around in her suit


Remember, the only reason Aira started to see Okarun and Momo's powers was her picking up the first golden ball, leading to her and the Acro-Silkie arc. It stands to reason that prolonged contact with the balls allow the supernatural awakening.

I just want to point out that I really like Dandadan's volume cover style. each prominent character in a cover is then behind the next person in the following volume's cover. It's a good effect and gives characters who otherwise probably wouldn't get a cover focus a chance.
https://mangadex.org/title/68112dc1-2b80-4f20-beb8-2f2a8716a430/dandadan?tab=art

The Kinta/Momo cover is solid gold art, same with the transformed Okarun/Jiji cover.

Chapter 119 (the Reiko flashing back to WW2/heel-face-turn) actually made me tear-up a little bit, which VERY few pieces of any media have ever done. And the next chapter is immediately Jiji turning into a muppet and teaching Vamola the YUMBO and Turbo-Granny cussing everyone out. This series is too drat good.

Doesn't Okarun have one of his balls right now? I thought that would have let him use his powers inside the game


Ever since TurboGranny originally stole them, he's only ever had one of his balls back at once, and I think the total he could transform was two possibly three times a day at the outside (I think he transformed 3 times in a day in the finale of the invasion arc). He transformed at least 2 times in the last day, possibly 3: once when they confronted the delinquents while tracking down Zuma, then once to run to go find Rin and TurboGranny, and then once to run back with Rin pedaling and TG on his back.

I think he's just outta juice with his tank half-full so to speak.

It's gonna be a Seiko+TurboGranny+Rin-and-Bobblyhead+SuperCop shamefest that just makes fun of Momo. And Jiji+Aira(+Vamola in the BG and Kinta in the distance) acting like muppets (YUMBO!) around Okarun for like a year.

Only then will they get together.

With how most of the "introduce another character" arcs have gone so far, this is about the point in the fight where we get a 2-5 issue arc about Zuma's past and how he got the yokai power. It'll probably be brutal, the Aira/Acro-Silky Jiji/Evil Eye Vamola/Battle-Grannies Rin/Mai arcs were all pretty drat emotional, and even the Kinta/Self-Loathing backstory was pretty good and explained a lot about him even if it wasn't as emotional as the others. I assume it'll somehow involve Count St. Germaine, a Kasa-Obake, and how Zuma got hurt enough to say gently caress the world and take over Delinquent Barter-Town. I don't mean by any of this to say the series has gotten overly predictable or stale, just that that's what feels right for this point in the battle considering how the previous arcs have played out.

I hope Zuma survives and then meets Aira. I feel like they’ll either immediately start dating or hate eachother. Both outcomes will be excellent.

I really hope he survives as well, but I think Jiji proves proves she's not into airheads, despite being a pretty big airhead herself. But that might mean she's just not into flirty goofballs, and Zuma is more of the subdued kind of dumdum.

that chapter explains both cop and zuma’s personalities well

I don't think the cop is in that issue at all, the older of the two boys with half-moon eyes is Unji. I assume the cop is an uncle or other relative, considering he calls him by his first name and has similar eyes.

e: I still posit naked-helmet-ojisan is part of this backstory as well, and I'm sticking to that.

little guy's spirit is his yokai/powers source, just like Mai was Rin's, and he's had the powers even before the gold ball, he just needed the gold ball to use his powers in the diorama
