Somehow the Kinta & Okarun teamwork was not worse than who they were facing. They were literally fighting each other.

I actually really like Kinta & Okarun's dynamic together. Since Kinta is actually a full on mecha nerd.

That merged robot reveal legitimately made me laugh out loud...Kinta is hilarious. I'm already looking forward to the day Kinta and Zuma have to work together.

Kinta is a really Mecha that understands looking cool is part of the process. Taking the problem of their merging making the heavier and weaker and using it to beat the bully :ehh:

Well the alien girl is still left tho.

Alright, big Chapter here. Love best Dad and Cop coming in clutch :wow:

It isn't too much of a surprise that CSG was the root behind everything. As the one that Adachi is talking to has the Fairy Tale Card. So, while we don't know who that person is, he must have received that power from CSG. So the power dynamic was CSG → Fairy Tale Card Holder → Adachi & Murakami. Now it seems for those two they get assignments & they have to follow for those assignments. More than likely CSG wants things done very particularly. Sadly for Adachi she is getting involved just to help her mother.

The other big part is Momo. The curse is now taking root. Which we now see that Vamola can't see her. That is a terrifying thing. It does feel like we are going to get into a situation where Okarun will be the last person to be able to see Momo, but that is when he will fix the curse. It would amplify the romance between the two, which is the core foundation of the series.

Yeah, it definitely feels like Okarun ought to be the last person that can see Momo...Granny being so beaten up, and having us reminded about it is an interesting bit too (she's the one other character I couldn't picture losing sight of Momo).

It's starting to feel like we'll get an Adachi backstory before the end of the arc. I like Top Cop pulling up on Adachi as a legit good guy after the creeper kidnapped her. Top Cop is pretty OP for someone with no powers.

Chapter 192

Granny potentially forgetting about Momo is making the situation sadder. :mjcry: Although you can really tell Zuma is a great guy. Even with everything that happened to him, he learned from the best dad and learned to push forward. He definitely saved many people doing that and, of course, they will be here for him in his time of need.

The Kito Family & Subterraneans are back. Well, things are about to get a bit more hectic. :whew:

The full page spreads that we get when all these disparate factions end up fighting in one place will be Sistine Chapel worthy.

Honestly, Dandadan might be our first proper weekly long-running shounen in a good while. There were 40 volumes of MHA and honestly, how everything is set up and looking it could run as long, if not longer, than that. The fact we are adding even more characters after Rin & Zuma with Kouki & potentially the former Antagonist Alien really leaves a lot of room. Though unlike MHA Dandadan is doing a solid job of giving equal development. For MHA despite the bloated cast, only Deku, Shoto & Bakugo got notable development. The rest felt like jokers tbh.

We still got the storyline of Youkai defending the earth from aliens plotline that hasn't gotten much focus in a while since for Tatsu this arc is more so focusing on Okarun & Momo's relationship. We also got the Sumerians who could eventually come back.

Tatsu has done a lot of build up. Honestly, the first act was basically that, since the only story beat was looking for Okarun's balls. Honestly, the series needs at least 400–500 chapters to execute that build up properly.

Of course, the issue is health for Tatsu will determine how that goes. He does plan ahead because you don't have the art quality he has without doing that.

This arc is fukked up brehs :mjcry:
Always has been :lolbron: Evil Eye, Space Globalists & Danmara Arc were examples of the story can be fukked up.

Jiji in this chapter is so on guard against Zuma it caught me off guard a bit. I mean I can understand his point, but Zuma is a good dude and hopefully the trip helps relieve the tension between these two.

Vamola summoning empty space is such a dope additional power for the crew. It makes so much sense too.

Zuma being to Jiji, what Jiji was to Okarun is kinda fun. You just know they'll get along as soon as they really hang out.

Honestly, I get why the Evil Eye was trying to come out. Given what we know what happened during that arc and what he went through. Him trying to come out is a reminder that we haven't seen him for awhile.

Meanwhile, with all the Shark outside. I def feel like there is a 3rd party involved here. Just wondering who it could be.

With cursed house and Evil arc airing in July. Feels like we are going to get a big arc for Jiji. Though I wonder if this will be a lengthy one.
