Chapter 199 of Dandadan begins with the revelation that the group survived the storm, and the plane is still flying despite severe damage. The initial sense of relief soon gives way to tension when the group realizes that Zuma has disappeared during the chaos.
Daiki takes control
As the crew tries to regroup, Daiki surprises everyone by requesting access to the cockpit. Despite being visibly injured and emotionally shaken, he insists he can help, revealing that his father was a pilot and that he grew up using flight simulators.
Skeptical at first, the group eventually trusts him. With the pilot weakened, Daiki takes control of the aircraft. In a flashback, he recalls the criticism and humiliation he suffered as a child, when people told him he would never amount to anything. But Daiki himself affirms: being a garbage collector, for example, is also a worthy job. This statement marks a turning point in his self-esteem and role in the plot.
Meanwhile, Toru experiences a moment of intense vulnerability. He admits he always looked down on Daiki, but that it was precisely Daiki who made him realize his worth. In one of the chapter's most moving monologues, Toru says he's considered dying, feeling like he didn't make a difference in the world. He acknowledges his mistakes, apologizes to Daiki, and promises to be a better man—someone kind, strong, and willing to help others.
A new enemy and the leap into the void in Dandadan
While all this is happening, the group that was being taken by the flying worm faces a new problem: they are captured by grotesque villains who intend to use them as human sacrifices.
The situation gets even worse when a giant flying shark appears in the sky and attacks the worm, forcing all the characters to jump into the air, a fall from high altitude, without a parachute.
During the fall, the characters try to improvise ways to survive. Zuma uses his powers to act as a human "parachute," but the combined weight prevents him from forming wings. The situation seems hopeless, until... The plane piloted by Daiki reappears, visually tracking the friends in the sky. The crew in the cockpit recognizes their falling allies and begins the rescue maneuver. With precision and joint effort, the characters manage to approach the aircraft, paving the way for their reunion.
Closing: Towards the Climax of Dandadan
The final page shows the heroes being rescued mid-air, with Vamola and Momo leading the operation amidst screams and chaos. The scene concludes with a dramatic panel, in which the characters cling to the plane while a grotesque threat still looms on the outside of the fuselage.
“To be continued” appears with the plane still surrounded by danger, promising an intense continuation.
