A brief recap of Dandadan chapter 207
Dandadan chapter 207, titled What Even Is a Ninja?, opens with Vamola, invisible inside her Kaiju suit, striking down the Phantom Thieves with Momo’s assistance. The chameleon alien, who proudly calls itself the Great Reptilian Space Ninja, hides in confusion, baffled that its foes are somehow even better at concealing themselves. But its stealth is useless.
Momo can sense its aura, and with her guidance, Vamola strikes it down. Surprisingly, Vamola can now see Momo with her suit’s projection, though she doesn’t recognize her and mistakes her for a pixie. Vamola and Momo slip out of the castle and hurry to the taxi. They need to rush to the shrine as time is running out to perform the curse-breaking ritual.
They reunite with Jiji, but find Seiko severely roughed up. Her ribs are badly broken. Though Jiji uses his chi to ease her pain, her internal condition remains uncertain. Even in this state, Seiko asks them to prioritize the ritual. Just then, tremors shake the area. The chameleon alien returns, unwilling to let its pride be trampled by “wannabe ninjas” like Momo and Vamola.
With the castle itself as its host, it transforms into a massive, fortress-like form and readies for combat with countless Phantom Thieves, determined to prove itself the “ultimate ninja.” Jiji and Vamola brace for the fight, but Momo chooses to prioritize Seiko’s well-being. She asks Jiji to take Seiko to the hospital immediately.
Her granny’s life outweighs the curse for her, even if it means being forgotten by everyone. She blames herself for the situation and promises to talk with Seiko after all this is over, if she still remembers her. The chapter closes on a tense note as Momo and Vamola prepare to engage the castle-fused alien, while Jiji leaves with Seiko for the hospital.
What to expect in Dandadan chapter 208?
With the stage set for Momo and Vamola’s fight round 2 with the chameleon alien and its army of Phantom Thieves, Dandadan chapter 208 is expected to focus on their rematch. The tension is at its peak since time is slipping away to complete the curse-lifting ritual. Momo braces herself for the possibility of living permanently as a “pixie,” having already chosen to prioritize Seiko’s survival above her own fate.
Thus, the upcoming chapter may reveal whether the duo can overcome their foes and still make it to the shrine in time, or if Momo’s sacrifice will leave her trapped in this minuscule form forever. Dandadan chapter 208may also offer insight into the severity of Seiko’s injuries and whether she can pull through after her fatal encounter with the smoke yokai Enenra.
