In chapter 197 of Dandadan, Yukinobu Tatsu's manga delivers another explosive sequence of surreal action, with an aerial confrontation brimming with creativity, humor, and tension. With the threat of the "Human-Typhoon" looming, the protagonists must resort to absurd yet incredibly effective solutions to face a shark storm and save their plane.
A scene of pure chaos (and visual creativity)
The setting of chapter 197 of Dandadan blends elements of an air disaster with nonsensical science fiction. A colossal typhoon teeming with flying sharks swirls around a crashing plane, and the key to countering it lies in the hands (or rather, the body) of the "Minhocona," a giant, alien-like worm that serves as the group's transportation and defense.
With everyone aboard the Earthworm, the group decides to counter the typhoon's force. Ayase Momo takes center stage: she guides the creature to point its body toward the vortex, shooting wind from its mouth and creating a kind of reverse propulsion, a trick described by the characters themselves as "a living kite." The result: the Earthworm begins to fly.
“We are flying!! The Great Serpent is flying!!”
Even though the proposal seems absurd, the tactic proves to be effective. As a character pierces the Earthworm's body with their power to create the wind channel, the creature begins to ascend toward the stratosphere, taking everyone with it.
A new objective: destroy the eye of the typhoon
After successfully propelling the Earthworm and keeping the team safe, albeit precariously, the group finally approaches the center of the storm. The chapter ends with a colossal image: a giant eye, with a texture similar to a cracked, living retina, hovers in the middle of the hurricane.
This moment serves as a turning point in the narrative. The group's objective is now clear: to destroy the core of the phenomenon . The mission shifts from mere survival to offensive, marking a significant shift in the team's approach.
The mission is now clear, and it puts at stake not only their lives, but the survival of all the passengers and the aircraft itself amidst the storm. Amidst screams of despair, gusts of wind, flying sharks, and the emergence of a colossal "eye" in the center of the hurricane, the chapter ends with a promise of an even greater confrontation in the coming events.
