The mind-bending universe of Dandadan is about to move forward with the release of Chapter 191. After the thrilling conclusion of the fight between Okarun, Kinta, and the fearsome Hase, fans eagerly await the next step in the story. Officially published by Shueisha on the MANGA Plus , the manga has won over a legion of readers by combining supernatural action, eccentric humor, and intense characters.
Now, with the battle over and Hase apparently defeated, the expectation revolves around the protagonists' reunion and arrival at the Grand Izumo Shrine — one of the central points of the current mission.
Summary of the previous chapter: Okarun and Kinta against Hase
Chapter 190 delivered one of the most tense battles of the current season. The plot began with Okarun and Kinta arguing while Hase advanced fiercely. In the midst of the fight, Hase managed to break the arm of Kinta and Okarun's combat suits. During the reconstruction attempt, Okarun managed to counterattack with powerful pile bunkers , but the situation remained critical.
The dialogue between the two protagonists highlighted the contrast between Okarun's impulsiveness and Kinta's caution. When Okarun suggested stronger weapons, Kinta refused, prioritizing safety. Even so, they ended up being thrown into the sky by Hase. The villain then launched a series of attacks that culminated in the complete destruction of the mechanical armor.
At the climax of the battle, Hase, about to strike Okarun, reminded the hero of an old episode of school bullying: "You're so pathetic you shouldn't even exist ," Hase mocked, taking Okarun's conspiracy magazine. In the present, this memory sparked the protagonist's fury. He shouted: "You think I'm lying? And the theories that turned out to be true? It's all there, you idiot!"
In a last-ditch effort, Kinta transforms the nanoskin into a new weapon, and Okarun orders, "Kinta, now! Combine it with my attack!" The combined weapon grips Hase's legs, lifts the trio into the sky, and brutally slams them to the ground, ending the confrontation. The armor retreats, leaving Okarun and Kinta as the victors.
What to expect from Dandadan Chapter 191
With Hase defeated, chapter 191 will likely begin with Okarun and Kinta collapsing from exhaustion, paving the way for their allies to arrive. Aira Shiratori, Rin Sawaki, and Kouki Yukishiro should find them quickly, reassuring readers about the group's safety. This relief, however, may be fleeting.
The narrative should also refocus on Kur, the pilot of the Jet Booster Exosuit. She will likely contact Count Saint-Germain to report Hase's defeat. However, instead of punishing her, the count may assign her a new mission, revealing his strategic patience and coolness: "Relax, Kur... I have another job for you."
The chapter's conclusion will likely follow the movements of Momo Ayase's group, who finally reach their destination: the Grand Izumo Shrine, where the uchide no kozuchi —the mysterious magic hammer—is hidden. The final scenes will likely show Momo and company beginning their exploration of the temple, under the gaze of unknown people who indicate they are being watched. The silhouette in the shadows could be Saint-Germain, spying on the heroes from afar.
