I. Is there a break this week for the Dandadan manga?

There is no break, and Chapter 172 will be released according to the schedule on the above date.

2. Recap of Chapter 171 of Dandadan

Dandadan Chapter 171 starts with Okarun and Aira trapped in a mysterious classroom as the doors suddenly shut behind them.

Kinta notices the door is closed and assumes Okarun is excluding him. With his powers, Kinta can still feel Okarun and Aira in there. However, when he opens it, he sees a normal class in session, adding to the mystery of their situation.

Momo quickly informs Okarun that they’ve entered Empty Space, which confuses him since he no longer has Turbo Granny’s power.

Okarun finds part of himself fused to a prep table, and Aira activates her Acrobatic Silky form and prepares for battle.

Meanwhile, Momo notices pygmies stitching their garments together. Okarun and Aira can’t see them. Momo uses her psychic abilities to stop the pygmies by severing the fused clothes.

Aira still can’t see the pygmies and blindly attacks them and the pygmies tie Aira’s hair and set it on fire using a prep table burner.

The chapter ends with the trio facing increasing danger, with no clear way out of the alien dimension.

3. Speculation for Chapter 172 of Dandadan

In the next chapter of Dandadan, we can expect Momo to take more decisive action and use her powers as she attempts to save Okarun and Aira from the assault of the naughty pygmies.

With Aira’s hair set on fire and Okarun still partially fused to the table, Momo will have to push her psychic powers to new limits to set them straight,

With Okarun able to reach Empty Space even with the Turbo Granny, some supernatural powers within him may be able to help the gang. We might see the embryo of those powers in the next chapter.
