Who is Nurse Joo in Dandadan? All You Need to Know

Nurse Joo is a memorable and authoritative figure at Kami High. Fans had seen Joo previously when she reprimanded students, warned harshly against bullying, and even controlled teachers with an iron hand.

Nurse Joo is the school nurse at Kami High, where Momo, Okarun, and the others are enrolled. Many readers remember her strict stance against bullying and her very serious personality.

Nurse Joo was first seen during the Serpo Arc, and when she turned up in the Empty Space and stopped Kinta, Okarun, and the others from chasing after the fleeing Kouki, fans were surprised to see this character who had barely any appearances.

The new chapter explains why she was able to enter the Empty Space-her unique ability to see spirits. This makes the situation more complicated as the supernatural human count of Kami High increases yet again.

2. First Appearance of Nurse Joo

Joo appears for the first time in the Kintama Hunt Saga’s Serpo Arc. The nurse confronts Momo, Okarun, and Aira after they’re seen in an embarrassing situation in the school halls. She investigates whether this incident was a case of bullying.

Although the scene is brief, it establishes Joo’s attentiveness and authority and captures the readers’ interest as the strict and beautiful nurse in Dandadan.

In the Pygmy Princess Arc, Joo appears again in the Empty Space, and her role takes a dramatic turn. She turns up and stops Kinta and the others from chasing Jouki. After Kouki Yukishiro accuses them of bullying her, Joo intervenes and examines the situation carefully.

Her innate ability to see spirits, developed from her students’ spiritual consultations, allows her to uncover Kouki’s deception.

Her confrontation with Kouki demonstrates her strength, resolve, and fairness (she slaps Kouki). She demands honesty and refuses to judge until she hears the truth. This scene captures Joo’s impact on the students as a mentor.

4. Joo’s Appearance and Personality

Nurse Joo has a distinctive look- she appears with shoulder-length hair a nurse’s cap, in a medical personnel uniform. She has been seen calling people “baldie” (even teachers) and bringing discipline to her students at Kami High.

Joo’s no-nonsense approach makes her one of the most respected, albeit intimidating, figures in Kami High. She has zero tolerance for bullying and often steps in to reprimand students, both verbally and physically, when necessary.

Nurse Joo seems to have a fair and balanced outlook, listening to each side of a story and empathizing with her students’ anxieties and spiritual concerns.

5. The Significance of Joo’s Spiritual Awareness

Joo’s spiritual awareness enables her to see spirits and enter supernatural realms like Empty Space. This ability, combined with her willingness to join students on spiritual adventures, positions her as a potential ally or protector at Kami High.

Joo can likely fight supernatural entities as well. This may lead to assistance from Joo and a possible way of explaining things to the school if something happens.
