Okarun's victory in Dandadan chapter 190 all but confirms how this fan-favorite will reappear

Dandadan chapter 190 concluded with a hilariously epic showdown between Okarun and Kinta against Hase in his Yokai form. Hase sought revenge on Okarun for "ridiculing" him at school. Alongside the Jet Booster Exosuit Kur, he agreed to the Orchestrator's offer and set out to fulfill his selfish desire. But even with the Jumping Crone's power, he wasn't able to take down the boy.

Before Dandadan chapter 190, Aira and company also won their battle, beating the headless dribblers and exposing Murakami. With these victories, the series has effectively set the stage for the return of a fan-favorite character — Turbo Granny. The story has advanced significantly since her departure, and fans are eagerly hoping for her comeback. The latest chapter may just be Yukinobu Tatsu responding to their request.

Dandadan chapter 190: The stage looks set for a beloved character's resurgence

Expand Tweet

Dandadan chapter 190 has all but confirmed the return of a beloved character. The character in question is Turbo Granny, the Yokai whose power Okarun wielded. She was last seen in chapter 165, when the group finally managed to retrieve both of Okarun's family jewels. According to their agreement, the boy returned Turbo Granny's powers to her, and she was bid an emotional farewell.

Since then, the community has looked for every possible opportunity for her return. So far, between chapters 166 and 189, there haven't been any suitable ones. However, with the latest chapter and its developments, a Turbo Granny comeback may just be on the horizon. What's more intriguing is that current circumstances strongly support this idea.

To begin with, Okarun and Kinta managed to subdue Hase. Their defeat of Hase also caused the Jet Booster Exosuit Kur to retreat. The girls have also won their battle and found out Murakami. It is only a matter of time before the two groups reunite and investigate what happened. Whether they learn more about the Orchestrator is something only time will tell.

Next, it wouldn't be plausible for Turbo Granny to appear before Okarun after the events of Dandadan chapter 190. The battles are over on both sides, and her reappearance at this point wouldn't mean much. She could have appeared during one of the battles, but it seems Tatsu may have other plans. All in all, these pair of fights were something each group needed to overcome themselves.

Thirdly, it seems more likely that Turbo Granny will show up where Granny Seiko and Momo are headed. Her chemistry with Seiko is undeniable, as is her care and concern for Momo. Given the nature of the Yokai she is, her protectiveness over Momo is more than justified. Therefore, the probability of her prioritizing Seiko and Momo due to their unique bond is very understandable.

Additionally, Seiko and company have been the only group to have not been shown so far. The narrative has mainly focused on the happenings at school. Now, the spotlight can shift toward bringing Momo back to her original self. There's also an incentive to develop characters like Jiji and Zuma, the newest additions to the group. This is the perfect moment for an emphatic Turbo Granny return.

Lastly, volume 7's bonus chapter showcases a heart-touching moment where Turbo Granny takes in an abandoned kitten. Seiko stumbles upon her sheltering the kitten but chooses to permit it. This highlights Turbo Granny's true warmth and suggests that her character arc hasn't yet reached its conclusion.

In conclusion

To conclude, Dandadan chapter 190 wraps up an intense yet comedic action sequence while also opening the possibility of a Turbo Granny return. Her absence has been greatly felt, and with both groups now victorious, the narrative is ready to welcome her back. This may occur through a focus on Momo, Seiko, and their journey.

Her relationship with Seiko and her protectiveness over Momo suggest a likely and meaningful return. Additionally, the touching scene in Volume 7’s bonus chapter hints that her story still holds unfinished emotional depth. Yukinobu Tatsu appears to be laying the groundwork for a powerful comeback. If this turns out to be true, the community is in for a treat.

As the dust settles and the threat of the Orchestrator continues to loom large, everything seems to point to a long-awaited Turbo Granny rally.
