Dandadan Chapter 174

Queen exists inside Empty Space too—and she sees pygmies. Koki accuses the club of bullying; Jiji counters, stuck between defending friends and proving what adults can’t see. Momo steadies him: tell the truth, you’re a good person. Bamora chimes in; Queen listens.

Then the nurse pivots from kindness to steel. She notes contradictions in Koki’s story, reveals her ability to perceive spirits thanks to years of hearing students’ confessions, and asks for the truth. Koki breaks and apologizes—only for Queen to slap her, a jolt that says “confession isn’t absolution.”

As motives surface—coercion by a “teacher,” power‑stealing knives, a target to extract rather than kill—the arc’s pattern clarifies. Queen Sensei’s Infirmary anchors dandadan’s empathy with consequence: understanding why is not the same as letting harm pass.
