So...What’s Been Happening in Dandadan? (Spoiler Alert for Previous Chapters)
Now, if you’re caught up with the story, you’ll know that things have been absolutely bonkers lately. I mean, seriously, who comes up with this stuff? Yukinobu Tatsu, that’s who. The man’s a genius. But let’s quickly recap what went down in Chapter 169 to give us some context heading into Chapter 170.
Chapter 169 Recap:
So, in Chapter 169, we saw some serious tension building. Okarun, after that insane fight in the library, was trying to figure out what on earth (or should I say, out of this world?) is going on. And speaking of worlds colliding, Momo and Aira were dealing with a creepy knife-wielding girl who seemed to have some pretty sinister intentions.

This girl—let’s call her Knife Girl for now (because why not?)—was trying to force Momo to “yield.” Like, who does that? It’s clear that there's some deeper alien-yokai conspiracy afoot, and we’re all just trying to keep up with the madness.
Oh, and don’t even get me started on that weird voice guiding Knife Girl. It’s like we’re getting layers upon layers of mystery here. This is classic Dandadan, though—throwing us in the deep end without a life vest and hoping we figure it out along the way. I love it. 😆
What to Expect in Chapter 170 (Spoilers Ahead!)
Okay, I know some of you are just itching for spoilers, so let’s dish out what we know so far about Chapter 170.
Potential Plot Points:
- Okarun’s Next Move: Okarun has been super cautious lately, but I think it’s time he steps up and takes charge. This whole alien-yokai situation is getting out of control, and I’m ready to see him go full throttle. Will he finally get some answers about Knife Girl and the mysterious voice? Maybe. Will he end up getting his butt kicked again? Also maybe. But hey, that’s what makes this series so unpredictable.

- Momo’s Power Struggle: Momo’s been in a bit of a tight spot lately, especially with Knife Girl coming after her. I have a feeling that Chapter 170 will dive deeper into what Knife Girl really wants and why she’s so hell-bent on making Momo “yield.” Does she want her powers? Is she working for someone higher up? So many questions, and I’m dying to know!
Momo character
- The Mysterious Voice: We need to talk about the creepy voice that’s been whispering in Knife Girl’s ear. Is it a new villain? Another yokai? Or maybe even an alien? I’m getting serious Turbo Granny flashbacks here, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this voice has something to do with the bigger picture. I just hope we get more clues about who or what this voice actually is.
Personal Thoughts – Why I’m Hyped for Chapter 170
Let me just get this off my chest: I freaking love Dandadan. It’s one of those manga that doesn’t care about playing by the rules or sticking to a formula. One minute you’re laughing at a fart joke, and the next you’re on the edge of your seat as yokai and aliens duke it out in the most batsh*t crazy ways possible.

And Chapter 170? Oh man, I’ve got a feeling this one’s gonna be a banger. There’s so much going on right now—so many loose threads that need tying up. I’m curious about how the story will progress now that we’ve got this new villain (or should I say, villains?) in the mix.
Also, can we talk about the dynamic between Momo and Okarun? They’ve come such a long way since the beginning of the series, and I’m really invested in their relationship. I mean, they’ve been through hell together! It’s not your typical romance, but there’s definitely something there. And I’m here for it. 💖
Community Theories (Because We All Love to Speculate)
Now, I’m not the only one who’s been theorizing about what might happen next. I’ve been lurking around a few Dandadan fan forums, and let me tell you—people have some wild ideas about what’s coming in Chapter 170 and beyond.
Here are a few popular theories:
- The Voice is Turbo Granny’s Rival: Some fans think that the mysterious voice guiding Knife Girl could be a rival yokai to Turbo Granny. Honestly, this would make a lot of sense. Turbo Granny’s influence has been felt throughout the series, so it wouldn’t be surprising if one of her old enemies came back to stir up trouble.

Knife Girl is a Puppet for a Bigger Villain: Another theory floating around is that Knife Girl isn’t the real threat. Instead, she’s being controlled by someone—or something—else. This could explain why she seems so unhinged and why she’s so focused on making Momo “yield.”
-
Okarun Will Unlock a New Power: I’ve seen a few people suggest that Okarun is due for a power-up, and I agree. He’s been through so much character growth, and it feels like the perfect time for him to level up. Whether it’s a new ability or a deeper connection to his yokai/alien powers, I’m excited to see what’s next for our boy.
Why You Should Be Reading Dandadan

- Unique Storytelling: Dandadan is unlike anything else out there. The way it blends genres is insane, and it keeps you guessing with every chapter.

- Epic Fights: If you love a good fight scene (and who doesn’t?), then Dandadan delivers in spades. The battles are intense, creative, and sometimes absolutely hilarious.
- The Mystery: From day one, Dandadan has been shrouded in mystery. There’s always something new to uncover, and that’s what keeps me coming back week after week.
