Will Okarun’s Supernatural Powers Return in Dandadan?

From the very beginning of Dandadan, Okarun has been thrown into wild challenges, most recently stripping him of the supernatural powers he once wielded through Turbo Granny’s possession, which was also one of the coolest transformations ever.

While losing those abilities initially seemed like a permanent setback, recent chapters hint that Okarun’s powers may not be entirely gone. So, the question is: Will Okarun get his powers back? And how?

1. Will Okarun’s Supernatural Powers Return in Dandadan?

Okarun’s supernatural powers will most likely return in Dandadan. After losing Turbo Granny’s possession, Okarun has become even stronger on his own, physically able to do many feats.

Recent chapters show that Okarun can enter the Spirit space without Turbo Granny’s powers. All this indicates that Okarun will be back in action. Very soon.

Not including the fact that the Turbo Granny may reappear, which could restore Okarun’s spirit-based powers and unlock new abilities. Fans believe his bond with Turbo Granny and his enhanced physical state will lead to an epic comeback.

2. Turbo Granny’s Departure: The Start of New Abilities?

In the latest arc, Okarun’s pact with Turbo Granny officially ended following the intense showdown with the Fairy-Tale Card. Turbo Granny withdrew her powers from Okarun after their contract, seemingly leaving Okarun without supernatural abilities.

However, as recent chapters reveal, Okarun’s body has changed in subtle but powerful ways due to his prolonged possession by Turbo Granny.

His speed, strength, and stamina have reached unprecedented levels. Even without her influence, he demonstrates that his body may have permanently adapted to the powers he once wielded. Many speculate that his ‘kintama’ is now magical.

3. Okarun’s Physical Growth

Okarun’s newfound physical abilities have been seen in the recent school fitness exams, where he easily outperformed his classmates in sprinting, jumping, and endurance.

Without breaking a sweat, he completed feats like running a 5.8-second 50-meter dash, throwing a shot put thirty-five meters, and doing a hundred and twenty shuttle runs easily.

Fans believe this physical leap signifies that Turbo Granny’s powers have had a lasting effect on his body and have changed his normal human body to be somewhat more optimized for combat. This suggests he could still tap into some combat abilities without her direct possession.

4. Opening Spirit Space Independently

Another major revelation is Okarun’s ability to access “Spirit Space” by himself—a feat he previously could only achieve with Turbo Granny’s help. When Okarun gets caught in the classroom with Momo and Aira, he can use the ability to his surprise.

This development hints that his connection to the supernatural has been cemented and isn’t entirely severed like a thread and may be transforming. Reddit sleuths have drawn parallels to other manga where characters gain powers through possession, which later evolve into inherent abilities. (Looking at you, Ichigo Kurosaki).

Okarun may now have a latent spiritual sensitivity, allowing him to connect to supernatural forces without Turbo Granny’s assistance. This could be the key to developing his powers independently and awakening like Jiji and Momo.

Many fans and amateur sleuths speculate that, with both of his “family jewels” restored, Okarun’s body might now act as a unique spiritual conduit, tapping into energies he hasn’t fully explored yet.

This path toward self-reliance also aligns with Okarun’s character development, as he learns to rely on his inner strength rather than borrowed power. Of course, when Granny returns, he will be exponentially more powerful.

5. Final Thoughts

Okarun’s powers in Dandadan are far from lost—they’re evolving. With Turbo Granny’s departure, he now faces the character development arc. This is his opportunity to unlock his potential on his own, transforming into a powerful independent force. As the new arc unfolds, fans can look forward to seeing Okarun’s journey continue with him regaining spiritual powers and being able to fight with or without Turbo Granny’s influence.
