Dandadan chapter 179: What to expect

With Seiko Ayase, Payase, and Kashimoto having successfully defeated their current enemies, Dandadan chapter 179 should see the trio begin searching for the uchide-no-kozuchi. This should also lead to their reunion with Momo Ayase, Ken “Okarun” Takakura, and their allies, who are also being targeted by Count Saint-Germain as Seiko and co apparently are.

However, as of this article's writing, no verifiable spoilers are available for Dandadan chapter 179, which is to be expected given the series’ digital publication nature. Moreover, such a distribution approach inherently limits the likelihood of spoilers to the point where their absence is all but a foregone conclusion.

That said, the manga’s path forward is clear enough to know that there are a few likely routes that Dandadan chapter 179 could take, accomplishing the same goal in different ways. In any scenario, fans can expect progress toward Momo Ayase’s return to full size, beginning with retrieving the uchide-no-kozuchi. This will likely lead to the long-awaited and heavily theorized Seiko and Turbo Granny reunion.

Dandadan chapter 179 will likely keep focus on Seiko and co as they search for the uchide-no-kozuchi

Dandadan chapter 179 should begin with Seiko, Payase, and Kashimoto licking their wounds and explaining their involvement and liability for the restaurant’s damages. Most of this should take place offscreen, with the issue essentially opening up in the final moments before seeing the trio discuss their next move. The chapter should also have a short flashback showing what information, if any, they learned from the Iron Bull.

In this flashback, it should be confirmed that the Iron Bull was sent here on Count Saint-Germain's orders. This is already all but confirmed based on what fans currently know, but it still needs to be made official, thus making now seem like the right time to do it. This seems especially likely when considering that it may also reveal to Seiko that Momo, Okarun, and their friends are already targeted.

From here, Dandadan chapter 179 will likely see a conflicted Seiko choose to separate herself and the search for the uchide-no-kozuchi from Payase and Kashimoto. She’ll likely instruct them to find and prepare Momo and Okarun for threats equivalent to the Iron Bull, confirming the fan theory of the pair mentoring the young protagonists. Seiko, meanwhile, will head directly to Daikokuten’s shrine, as seen in recent chapters.

Upon arrival, Seiko will likely begin her search as it’s revealed someone is watching her. This will almost certainly be revealed as Turbo Granny, who should offer explanatory prose on what she’s been up to since splitting off from the Ayase collective. While it is difficult to nail down this specific aspect, it should at least communicate that she is happy and fine on her own, likewise deciding not to reunite with Seiko.

However, Dandadan chapter 179 will likely see Turbo Granny detect Saint-Germain’s presence at this point, seeing him watching Seiko enter Daikokuten’s shrine from afar. Whether or not the two make eye contact, Turbo Granny will likely become enraged at seeing him.

The issue should end with him disappearing and chasing after Seiko. In turn, this should prompt Turbo Granny to chase after him and reunite with Seiko, either in the final panels of chapter 179 or the next issue.
