Dandadan Chapter 128

Rin and Mai finally speak plainly across life and death. The Onbusuman reverts to Mai’s spirit, who apologizes and asks to be friends again; a duet seals the cleansing of the Shining School Building as they reach the venue where everything once went wrong.

Mai’s farewell reframes her as a guardian spirit—blunt, protective, and determined to see Rin’s talents shine, even if Rin’s dream has shifted. The scene closes with Seiko’s gentle grounding hand and Rin’s bittersweet memories of singing together.

This dandadan chapter is a lyrical resolution to the arc’s central wound, elevating the series’ theme that love and regret can recompose themselves into protection—and that performance can be an exorcism of the heart.
