Dandadan Chapter 159

Rin’s song turns the cursed trunk into a slow-motion evacuation as instruments join her and the figurines rise. Inside Danmara, Okarun clutches Momo’s hand as he, Turbo Granny, Rokuro, and Vega ascend—until Turbo Granny realizes why Momo is the anchor: she ate the inner world’s food. The fix isn’t a talisman; it’s time and a showdown.

Okarun tries the one thing that always set him apart—handing over his kintama. It doesn’t work. The curse belongs to the Fairy-Tale Card, and only beating him will stop the collapse. Turbo Granny stays with Momo; Okarun, torn but resolute, promises to return and rockets skyward. The paneling slows enough for him to say it plainly: he loves her. Momo blushes, orders him to go, and tells him to confess properly later.

The escape punctures the barrier. Delinquents and the Fairy-Tale Card spill into reality near Rin as Unji’s broken body lands beside them. The yokai thanks Unji for the service and announces his next target: someone who could end the world. The chapter names her in the final beat—Rin—reframing the rescue as a prelude to possession.

Escape from the Cursed Trunk! captures dandadan’s blend of romance, gallows humor, and escalation. It’s a goodbye without being a goodbye, and a promise that the next fight will be fought in the open air.
