Ultimate Yokai Saga
CharacterUltimate Yokai Saga is the second major arc cluster of the Dandadan manga, beginning once Okarun's body has been made whole again. Fresh dangers gather around Momo as a powerful schemer from the Black Paladins moves to strip the group of their abilities for his own evolution.
Overview
Following the Kintama Hunt Saga, this second saga of Dandadan launches with Volume 20 and Chapter 166 and remains ongoing in the manga from 2024 onward. It shifts the conflict from scattered occult encounters toward a single coordinated enemy with global ambitions.
Summary
With Okarun's kintama finally recovered, the Family barely gets a moment of calm before new problems converge on Momo. The threat this time is not a stray yokai or a passing alien crew but an influential figure named Vlad, tied to the Black Paladins. He intends to harvest the group's powers as fuel for reaching a heightened evolutionary state.
That goal slots into a larger campaign of conquest, turning Momo and her friends into prized targets rather than accidental witnesses. The saga's individual arcs trace their fight to keep their abilities, and their lives, out of Vlad's grasp.
Aftermath
Because the saga is still unfolding in the manga, its full resolution remains open. What is established is a clear escalation, with the casual paranormal mishaps of the first saga replaced by a deliberate, organized hunt aimed squarely at the Family.
