Dandadan's chapter 192 delivered an intense sequel to the arch that accompanies Momo Ayase and Seiko Ayase on his journey towards Izumo Grand Shrine. Although the expectation was for arriving at the sanctuary and the advance of the search for Uchide-No-Kozuchi, the focus of the chapter surprised by further deepening the drama involving Momo. To complete the tension, ancient enemies came back to the scene, further increasing the expectation for the next episodes.
The narrative continues the deviation started in the previous chapter, consolidating the end of Ken's fights “Okarun” Takakura and his allies. In addition, also ending the involvement of Mika Adachi with the Orchestrator, after the mistake made by attacking Takeshi Murakami. However, the real impact was due to the revelation that only Jin "jiji" sick still remembers Momo, marking a dark turn to the story.
Jiji is the only one who still remembers Momo in Dandadan
The chapter begins exactly where the previous one stopped, with Momo worried about ending like the Pygmies, small spiritual creatures. Jiji, aware of the severity of the situation, asks Vamola if she can see Momo, who was on her shoulder. The answer is desolate: Vamola not only see no moment, but also have no idea who Jiji is talking.
Desperate, Jiji tries to explain to Seiko that the state of Momo is getting worse. However, his grandmother, for readers' horror, has no memory of Momo either. In an effort to rescue Seiko's memory, Jiji still comments that the group should remember why they are traveling. However, bad news does not stop: Unji Zuma can barely see and Daiki Hakono is unable to walk, forcing Vamola to guide Zuma by the hand.
Jiji concludes that his strong spiritual sensitivity is what still allows him to perceive Momo, and promises her that, regardless of what happens, he won't forget her. The relationship between the two gains even more importance in the face of the collective forgetfulness that settles in the group.
Zuma's past and the importance of friendship
While Momo and Jiji fight against time, the chapter turns their attention to Daiki Hakono and the past of the characters. When helped by Raiya, Zuma's friend, Daiki asks the reason for his kindness, remembering that at first they were hostile with each other. Raiya reveals that in the past, after being a victim of bullying, he was saved by Zuma, who always protected his friends and never left anyone behind.
The story goes to moving flashback involving a young man about to take his own life with medicines. Zuma and Raiya find her and, even without knowing exactly how to help her, welcome her. Zuma acknowledges that it was not good with words, but she praises her ability to make everyone around her laugh - something he himself couldn't do.
This memory explains why so many problematic young people gathered around Zuma: it became a safe haven amid difficulties. Raiya, in the present, reinforces that everyone just wanted someone who said they were fine, and that Zuma represented that hope to many.
The return of the Kito family changes the course of history in Dandadan
When the chapter already seemed to carry enough emotion, a new threat is announced. In the other part of the airport, members of the infamous Kito family attack a bus that was carrying prisoners, finding Jiji, with whom they have a troubled past.
During the escape, one of the Kito identifies Jiji among the people present. Although they can't see Momo, they are sure she's around. Matriarch Naki Kito expresses her anxiety for reunion, making it clear that a great confrontation approaches.
The chapter ends with tension in the air: The Kito now chase Momo and his allies toward Izumo Grand Shrine, while time runs against them due to the damage that intensifies rapidly.
