Chapter 226 of Dandadan moves to the Gates of Hell, where Vlad receives Rin and Koki's stolen powers. Shinobi's role in the theft surfaces, and Vlad transforms as four abilities take hold of him.
Inside the Gates of Hell, Saint-Germain checks how Vlad is coping with the chair fused to his body. Vlad insists he has adapted and feels ready to fight, eager to unleash the powers taken from Momo and Unji. Saint-Germain disagrees, explaining that six curses are needed to fully unlock the Fairy-Tale Card. Vlad credits his hired consultant's work, admitting past doubts, and wonders why Saint-Germain handed humans powers only to reclaim them. Before any answer comes, Shinobi announces Red Baron's return.
Saint-Germain greets the arriving Red Baron with mock innocence while Vlad eagerly anticipates flaunting his new abilities. Red Baron presents the kozuka knives carrying Rin and Koki's powers, and a delighted Vlad demands an immediate transfer. Saint-Germain's stare unsettles Red Baron and earns him a backhanded compliment, then a reminder that he had been ordered to avoid force given the danger. Red Baron points to his warrior's pride, but Shinobi interjects, insisting she take the knives, and Red Baron realizes she was the one who actually secured the stolen powers. Shinobi confirms she disguised herself as a priestess at Momo's curse-release ritual and coaxed the power from her subconscious. When Red Baron asks why she did not help him outright, she cites the limits of her abilities. Vlad silences his griping, praises them both, and orders the transfer. Shinobi slots the knives into the chair, and Vlad describes the merging sensation as he transforms with all four powers settling in.
Vlad reports adjusting to Momo and Unji's stolen powers, but Saint-Germain judges it premature since four more are required for the Fairy-Tale Card's full strength. Red Baron delivers the Onbusuman and Lord of the Flies knives, pleasing Vlad yet angering Saint-Germain for defying orders. The two powers are transferred into Vlad, reshaping his body.
Set in the Gates of Hell during the Six Curses Arc of the Ultimate Yokai Saga, the chapter clarifies Shinobi's deception during Momo's ritual. Unji, Momo, Seiko and Mai appear only through mention or power manifestation.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....
