Dandadan Chapter 25

Chapter 25 resolves the immediate physical danger and then leans into the social fallout: after defeating the fused Serpo Dover Demon Nessie, Momo, Okarun, and Aira emerge back into school corridors—literally exposed and humiliated in their underwear before classmates. The comic embarrassment contrasts with the high-octane combat that preceded it, emphasizing the series’ tonal dexterity.

The chapter also clarifies stakes: Aira’s awakening of Acrobatic Silky’s powers marks her as both an ally and a new target, and Okarun’s speculation that aliens seek humans with yokai-linked abilities reframes their victories as invitations for further predation. The narrative balances embarrassment with urgent strategy: fledgling powers now have geopolitical implications in the manga’s cosmology.

On a character note, the closing scene focuses on adolescent vulnerability—teasing, awkward confessions, and the gentle unwinding of tension between Momo and Okarun. The chapter’s quieter beats serve as a breather and a pivot, allowing the ripped-apart enemy to have consequences beyond the battlefield while setting up the next narrative arc.
