Dandadan Chapter 161

The Fairy‑Tale Card tries to erase Count Saint‑Germain’s advantages—starting with his sight. Even blinded, the Count deflects budding projectiles by feel and timing, swapping kogai to change footing and reach. A Jumping Crone kogai turns the battlefield into stepping stones; a Black Haircutter slash severs the yokai’s mouth card and briefly restores Rin’s voice before the buds regenerate a new card.

What follows is a duel of systems: the yokai leans on endless regeneration and body‑part control, while Saint‑Germain studies the karuta logic underneath. If pairs define the Fairy‑Tale Card’s deck, then simultaneous destruction can end the loop. A Water Tiger landing absorbs shock as the Count resets spacing and calls out the plan with clinical calm.

As Okarun, Rokuro, and Vega are released from the cursed trunk, the Count proposes a coalition on the fly. The dandadan pace tightens around a clear win condition: synchronize strikes on paired cards, hold the line for Rin to sing again, and turn the yokai’s story against him.
