Chapter 197 of Dandadan is shaping up to be one of the most important chapters in the series so far. After several issues of intense conflict, the main characters are about to end their battle against the Human Typhoon. However, signs indicate that the outcome will not be simple. There are hints of an unexpected twist, with internal risks and new dangers threatening everything. The tension reaches its peak, and readers can expect not only action but also impactful revelations.

Previous events make it clear that the next chapter will bring a drastic change in the narrative's direction. The participation of the Kito family and creatures like the Tsuchinoko has proven decisive, but complications arise at the worst possible moment. Jiji's emotional instability and the imminent return of the Evil Eye indicate that the danger may come from within the group itself. Everything points to an unpredictable and explosive chapter.

The collective effort against the Human Typhoon is at its limit

The battle against the Human Typhoon has mobilized all the relevant characters in the plot. From Momo Ayase to the members of the Kito family, each has given their all to try and contain the threat. In chapter 197 of Dandadan, the initial focus is likely to be precisely on these combined efforts. The Tsuchinoko and the Kito, despite being affected by the extreme environment, continue advancing out of sheer necessity for survival and a sense of duty.

Meanwhile, inside the plane, Seiko Ayase finally takes control of the cockpit. Her attempt to steer the aircraft toward the center of the typhoon seems rash, but her persistence should lead to success. The tension mounts as each decision has immediate consequences for everyone involved.

Jiji begins to crumble and the Evil Eye resurfaces

Jiji and Momo remain on the front lines of the battle, but the effects of the curse and exhaustion begin to manifest more intensely. Momo, determined to continue, ignores Jiji's warnings about the need for rest. This clash between physical exhaustion and willpower intensifies the emotional narrative of the chapter, highlighting human fragility in the face of the supernatural.

However, the major turning point should come from Jiji himself. Unji Zuma's words suggest that the boy is already at his limit, which opens the door for the return of the Evil Eye, an entity that has previously tried to dominate him. The internal dialogue between Jiji and the spirit should be the psychological climax of the issue, leading to a breaking point that will change everything.

The greatest danger in this chapter may not be the external enemy, but rather Jiji's emotional and spiritual instability. By doubting his own ability to continue fighting, he allows the Evil Eye to regain control. The demonic spirit, even without promising genuine help, manages to win the internal battle. This outcome marks the beginning of a new conflict, this time against a corrupted ally.
