What to expect from Dandadan chapter 98

Although the situation is not favorable, the Dragon Ball reference in the previous chapter has been appreciated by readers. However, Jiji's new ability also requires Chi and is performed in the same stance as Son Goku; he won't be screaming Kamehameha anymore. For now, Jiji has resorted to calling his new technique The Evil Gun!

As variations in this technique and the cooldown time are yet to be revealed, the first half of the chapter will see Jiji taking over the battlefield to showcase his newfound ability. Fans can also expect Jiji to turn into Evil Eye, as it is about time. Okarun's return is highly anticipated, as the team won't be able to defeat the aliens without him.

Recap of the Dandadan chapter 97: What To Do About the Name?

Aira, Jiji, and Mr. Shrimp used their abilities to give the aliens a tough time. However, despite their efforts, the aliens didn't give up, as if the damage was futile. Aira quickly formulated a new plan and told Mr. Shrimp and Jiji they had no option but to endure the attacks and wait for the opening.

After successfully fending the attacks, Aira signaled to the team, asking Jiji to change the Honorable Missiles and The Sniper's line of fire and Mr. Shrimp to keep Honorable Mantis busy. Meanwhile, Aira, using her Acrobatic Silk Skills, constrained the boss of Aliens, shrouding it in her long hair.

However, the Alien boss escaped Aira's grasp after a strange machine with six limbs trapped her out of nowhere. Jiji tried to free Aira, but his shockwave ability was ineffective against the machine. Suddenly, after recalling a conversation with Momo about naming his abilities, Jiji pulled out his secret move, his trump card, that he hadn't given a name.

Jiji took the Kamehameha stance and started screaming the move's name out loud. However, suddenly, he changed his mind to come up with something original. He released his Chi by aiming his adjoining palms at the aliens, destroying the four of them in one go, shouting, "The Evil Gun!"
