Dandadan is one of those Shounen manga that is getting increasingly popular as the days pass. After the release of chapter 172 on the 28th of October, fans have been getting increasingly impatient.
With the backstory of Yuki, who attacked Momo, revealed, Okarun, Momo and Aira have been attacked by the sneaky pygmies while chasing after the running Yuko. Here’s the latest updates.
1. Release Date of Chapter 173 of Dandadan
Dandadan Chapter 173 will be released on Nov.4, 2024, at 8 am PT. As usual, just seven days after the last. You can read it for free via the Viz Media website and the Shonen Jump app.
I. Is there a break this week for the Dandadan manga?
There is no break, and Chapter 173 will be released according to the schedule on the above date.
2. Recap of Chapter 171 of Dandadan
The chapter picks up from the chaos that the pygmies have caused. Aira’s hair is set on fire by the angry pygmies. Momo urges Aira to unravel her hair before the fire setting it ablaze reaches her.
Okarun uses a knife to cut off the burning locks of hair. Cautious about the gas in the room potentially causing an explosion, Momo handles putting out the fire.
Momo informs Okarun that there are a million pygmies in the room, with a few climbing at his feet. Okarun tells Momo to get away, and he removes his shirt to get rid of the pygmies clinging to him. The pygmies knit Okarun’s shirt, pants, and Aira’s blazer on the floor, leaving them immobile.
Momo realizes that her pursuer must control them from the shadows and that attacking her is the key. She tells the duo to distract all the pygmies while she takes action.
While not knowing how her plan will work, Okarun swiftly dodges a barrage of oncoming knives that Momo warns him about, leaving Momo and Aira astonished about his physical prowess.
Suddenly, Momo declares she has found the culprit, evident by the pygmies’ hesitation to attack, and uses her powers to throw a desk at Kouki Yuki, who is revealed to be hiding with a camouflage cloak.
3. Speculations for Chapter 173
In the upcoming chapter, Yuki may attempt to escape using her camouflage powers, but Momo won’t let her slip away again so easily.
She could use new techniques to find her location and possibly see her, letting them chase after her with ease.
Okarun and Aira might be overwhelmed as more pygmies rally to Kouki’s defense while Momo tries to capture her. This might force them to confront the sheer numbers head-on. Aira, who has been unable to help, might unlock a new ability from the Acrobatic Silky to counteract the pygmies’ attack.
