A brief recap of Dandadan chapter 116
Using the Tokyo tower as an improvised weapon, Kinta dispatched the alien-infested Kaiju mecha with a single powerful swing. However, the creature returned by gripping a weapon of its own, which was the Sky Tower. Proclaiming his weapon to be a “mystic sword,” Kinta managed to destroy Kaiju’s Sky Tower, but in doing so, he inadvertently sacrificed his own weapon as well.
Like always, Kinta took a brief moment to admire his capabilities. He eventually got distracted when Vamola admired his strength, leading to a moment of fluster. Eventually, the pair witnessed the Kaiju walking toward them. Kinta ran towards the creature to end things in a whiplash, only to get the Great Kinta obliterated completely.
The Kaiju gripped the encapsulated cockpit, which held Kinta and Vamola within its grasp. Declaring Earth’s inhabitants to be just as inferior as the Sumerians, the alien proclaimed their ownership of the planet, warning that additional battleships were poised to arrive imminently.
Despite being cornered yet refusing to yield, Kinta’s determination prompted the alien to question why he still fighting back. Kinta responded that he had spent his entire life as a timid pretender.
However, now that he had the opportunity to pilot a colossal mecha alongside a remarkable girl, two of the significant aspects of his existence, he couldn’t simply surrender without a fight. After squashing the capsule, the Kaiju discovered that the cockpit was just a distraction, using which Kinta and Vamola traveled to its back.
Announcing that no Kaiju had ever managed to breach its rear, Kinta activated the mecha’s rocket boosters, propelling it skyward with the intention of bringing it down with such force, like a powerbomb move. Kinta and Vamola aimed to get rid of the alien hiding inside the Kaiju, even if it meant risking their lives.
What to expect from Dandadan chapter 117 (speculative)
Following the gripping cliffhanger in the previous chapter, readers eagerly anticipate the revelation of Kinta and Vamola’s fate in the upcoming Dandadan chapter 117. Given the profound impact their demise would have on devoted fans, it remains to be seen how the series will navigate this crucial juncture and whether a surprising twist or heroic intervention will shape the outcome.
