Chapter 180 of Dandadan ended with a few reveals on Momo and Okarun’s new enemies, Hase and Mrs. Adachi. With chapter 181 out, we expected to see Hase targeting Okarun according to the instructions he received. However, it would seem the latest chapter had other plans for Okarun, as we got to see Zuma’s return. Chapter 181 doesn’t provide Momo any solutions for her transformation, but we get to see the interesting turn that the manga takes.
In this article, we’ll recap chapter 181 of Dandadan and also reveal the release date of chapter 182, along with the speculations we have for it. It goes without saying that this article has spoilers from the latest chapter of Dandadan, so do proceed cautiously.
1. Release Date for Chapter 182 of Dandadan
Dandadan Chapter 182 will be released on Monday, the 20th of January, 2025. The manga can be read from official sources like 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 182 of Dandadan will be released according to the schedule on the above date.
2. Recap of Chapter 181 of Dandadan
Chapter 181 of Dandadan starts out with Okarun, Momo, and Vamola preparing to go home after school. However, they were stopped by the commotion outside. There were many delinquents outside the school gates, which made many students anxious and reluctant to leave. Okarun immediately recognized them to be from Zuma’s high school, and Momo expressed how annoying they were to deal with.
When Okarun approached them and asked them to stop loitering, they recognized him and told him that they were waiting for him. Right after this, Zuma showed up, and he had longer hair than before. One could also say he had a glow-up, and that could be debatable, however, as things stand, he changed so much that Okarun didn’t recognize him initially. Zuma explained that his long stay in the hospital caused his hair to grow out, and after leaving the cursed trunk, his sight had gone bad, so he started wearing glasses.
After this he found out that Momo had shrunk as a part of the curse. Zuma then revealed the man from the cursed trunk, Daiki Hakono, who was aging at an unnatural rate due to the cursed trunk. His own parents didn’t accept him as they didn’t recognize their own son who had gone missing only for a few years only to return as an old man.
Momo grasped the situation well enough and asked him to go tag along to her house where they could discuss their next course of action, however, Jiji and Aira, who only saw them from a distance, assumed that Momo was being attacked by the delinquents, and rushed to rescue them, only to cause an unnecessary ruckus. Things were starting to get serious as Zuma and Aira were transforming. At this point, Momo got ticked off and used her powers to stop everyone, told them that they were all on the same side, and had them apologize to each other.
3. What To Expect In Chapter 182?
Since Chapter 181 of Dandadan ended with Zuma revealing his issues with the curse that he got, they now have common ground, and they’ll be working toward the same goal. As Momo had suggested, we can expect them to head to her place to discuss the next steps.
If Seiko hasn’t already headed to the shrine of the great god Okuninushi, we can expect Momo and her group to meet up with Seiko at their place. Seiko’s plan to get her hands on the magical hammer could be of use to everyone who was affected by the curse, and we’d likely get more information on it in chapter 182.
