Chapter 195 of Dandadan, released this Monday (19), deepens the crisis faced by Momo Ayase and her group. The story picks up immediately after the previous edition, with the air attack taking on even more surreal contours. At the center of the plot, a new threat emerges: a living being that manifests itself as a typhoon and puts all the characters in imminent danger.
While the fight against the Kito family is momentarily interrupted, the plot focuses on the chaos aboard the plane. Momo questions the presence of sharks in the sky before being surprised by one of them bursting through the fuselage. The tension rises when Seiko orders everyone to hold on and put on their oxygen masks in a desperate attempt to contain the panic.
Seiko regains her memory and reveals the nature of the enemy
During the chaos, Vamola manages to seal part of the plane by increasing in size, but the situation remains critical. The frozen sharks blocking the holes threaten to break free, and Seiko, weakened, has difficulty even recognizing Momo. Her memory, however, partially returns, and she recognizes her granddaughter. This recognition, though brief, marks a turning point in the plot.
Momo suspects that the god of Shimane is rejecting the group because of the curses they carry, but Seiko disagrees. She claims that the god of Izumo wouldn't reject devotees in this way. The conversation leads to a frightening discovery: the typhoon possesses human features, indicating that it is a living being. In a flashback, Okarun explains to Momo that these creatures are called cryptids.
This new enemy, identified as a "human typhoon," reveals itself to be a living weapon, possibly used by the Serpoians in the same way they did with Nessie. The creature disassembles and flies through the air, causing real damage and threatening everyone on board. The gravity of the situation demands an immediate reaction, as the plane initiates a forced landing.
Plan involving frozen sharks could save the group
Seiko realizes that this is the group's only chance before the opportunity disappears for a year. She argues that, with her perception of Momo increasingly weak, there is no time to lose. Faced with this, she proposes a daring strategy: to directly confront the creature that has formed in the sky.
Momo's grandmother's scientific explanation helps to understand the logic behind the plan. She states that typhoons form from the combination of warm ocean water and the vapor generated by that water. The warm water would be the typhoon's engine; the vapor, its fuel. Disrupting this cycle is the only way to neutralize the threat.
Seiko's proposal is to use the very frozen sharks that invaded the plane as a weapon. The idea is to lower the temperature and interfere with the enemy's power source. Although risky, the strategy is the group's only immediate hope.
Expectations for the next chapter of Dandadan are for a counter-attack
With the new threat exposed and the plan drawn up, the plot of Dandadan indicates that the next chapter should show the execution of this offensive. It is likely that the Kito family will join Momo's group, motivated by the instinct for self-preservation. Even with the tension between the characters, the common goal may force a temporary alliance.
The attack on the cryptid seems promising, but there's an expectation that the creature will react unexpectedly. If it's truly sentient, it might perceive the strategy and counterattack. The unpredictable dynamics of chapter 195 heighten the suspense surrounding the outcome of the confrontation.
The plot of Dandadan advances by transforming a natural phenomenon into a physical villain. The introduction of the "human typhoon" expands the universe of the work and suggests that the protagonists will face increasingly complex dangers. The struggle is now also against forces that transcend common logic.
