Dandadan Chapter 72

Momo’s initial hostility toward the kaiju’s pilot is complicated when Okarun and company learn the girl’s name—Bamora—and discover she cannot speak human language. The chapter prioritizes communication: Okarun enlists Mr. Mantis Shrimp to tinker with a translator so they can learn Bamora’s motives.

Bamora’s explanation (partially translated) is surprisingly personal—she came to Earth searching for a partner through combat, a cultural motive that reframes her earlier aggression as ritualized courtship rather than pure malice. This twist softens the conflict while raising cross-cultural misunderstandings.

Chapter 72 shifts the arc toward empathy and diplomacy: by seeking to understand Bamora instead of simply defeating her, the protagonists open a path for alliance and reveal how language and culture shape conflict resolution in the series.
