Eatin' Too Many Treats

Unji's group settles on entering the game together as their best shot, but Okarun objects, urging them to wait until he can brief Seiko on what is happening. Finding the others already willing to risk their lives for Unji, Okarun transforms into his Turbo Granny form and hurries to reach her. Inside the diorama, Momo and Unji climb a tower to escape a creature resembling Rock-Hard Costinus that is pursuing them. With their powers not fully restored and neither the treats nor the knight's sword affecting the monster, Unji proposes eating marshmallows to soften their landing if they jump.

Momo doubts the plan after she throws a piece of candy and watches the monster, drawn to it, change color from eating it. The pair try breathing fire by chewing spicy potato chips she had brought, but the flames do nothing. Near the tower's top, Momo flings candy at the creature and sees its body turn to candy, confirming her theory that the Nom Nom Bongo effect applies to foes too. She has Unji breathe fire to melt it, then drops down and kills it with Carmine's sword before it can flee.

This nineteen-page Volume 17 chapter ran February 20, 2024, within the Danmara Arc and Kintama Hunt Saga. It stages the fight billed as Momo Ayase and Unji Zuma versus Rock-Hard Costinus and establishes that items carried in from the outside world, like the spicy chips, function inside the game.
