Six Curses Arc

This is the thirteenth story arc of Dandadan and the fourth within the Ultimate Yokai Saga, beginning at chapter two hundred twelve and ongoing in the manga. It blends quieter relationship beats with a sharp escalation of Vlad's scheme as he closes in on his world-conquering evolution.

The curse that was lifted in Shimane took Momo's memories with it, erasing everything back to before she met Okarun, along with her spiritual awareness and psychokinesis. Refusing to lose what they built, Okarun commits to making new memories with her, awkwardly attempting dates and a staring-contest confession that gets rejected, which spurs Bamora to suggest a club group date at the Super Amusement Park. There the pairings tangle, with Aira moving on Okarun while Momo spends time with Jiji, leaving both leads unsettled.

Beneath the romance, the hunt intensifies. Momo subconsciously rediscovers her ki and psychic powers in moments of danger, while new alien foes like the mummy-bodied Mr. Dris appear. Red Baron, Jack Wisp, and Vakappa corner Rin and Koki and force them to surrender their abilities, with Mai's fate left uncertain after Rin's extraction. The Shimane priests inform Seiko that the Black Paladins are thirteen noble families, and that the Delacroix prince Vlad has hired Saint-Germain to make him the Ultimate Yokai by gathering six specific curses bound to the Fairy-Tale Card.

With Rin and Koki's powers added to Momo's and Unji's, Vlad undergoes a transformation, and Red Baron is unexpectedly demoted to the fifth curse, Little Red Riding Hood, ordered to concede. Unji and Daiki return to Kamigoe City freed of their curses, Vega reunites Daiki with his parents, and the Dragon Knights move to claim Okarun's Turbo Granny power before Saint-Germain can. As an ongoing arc, its resolution remains open.
