Dandadan Chapter 221 is highly anticipated by fans because of how Okarun ended up asking Momo out on a date. For now, the story has taken a moment to focus on romantic development, and readers feel like they are finally getting to see the main duo trying to openly acknowledge their feelings. Although Momo has shown no sign of her memories being recovered, there is a part of her that feels pulled towards Okarun.

As the series follows a weekly release schedule, Dandadan Chapter 221 is going to be released on December 22, 2025. Readers can get access to this series on digital platforms like Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media. For a story that is known to be chaotic, readers have actually enjoyed the latest installment, but if they do indeed go on a date, maybe they will face another threat, as this story does not let moments of peace linger for a long time.


Recap of Chapter 220

Chapter 220 started with Okarun dropping Momo off. He had offered her a piggyback ride after their fight with Mr. Dris, and she had lost all of her strength. Both of them reached her place, and like a gentleman, he started to say her goodbyes. But she was not ready to let him go yet. Momo invited him inside as she was worried about his injury.

Funny enough, she was more hesitant about applying a bandage. Meanwhile, Okarun was calm, and after that event came one of the most interesting additions. Vamola invited him to dinner, and what comes next is a awaked dinner. Both the duo are trying to steal glances at each other, and there is a clear romantic tension. This is misinterpreted as them getting along by Vamola.

Readers have noted that her addition in this chapter helped cut the tension and also made her act like the best wingman. Later that same evening, Okarun patiently makes Momo understand the events that are taking place around them and advises her to constantly be around someone until she gets her powers back.

This leads to her making a snarky remark, which clearly proves that she is testing the waters around him. Okarun then ends up using her logic against her and then asks her out on a date. Chapter 220 ended with her being flustered but having no choice but to agree.


What to expect from Dandadan Chapter 221? (Speculative)

Dandadan Chapter 221 will most likely pick up from the point where both of them are getting ready for a date. Although the fandom has been actively coming up with interesting theories:

  • One major point of speculation is Okarun’s second “request.” Since he technically won twice, many fans believe this could be foreshadowing something more intimate down the line, such as a deeper confession, hand-holding, or even the reveal of his full name, which Momo still doesn’t remember. He could finally say it out loud in Dandadan Chapter 221.
  • Beyond romance, Dandadan Chapter 221 may also begin transitioning back into larger plot threads. Turbo Granny’s return to Seiko also feels like a ticking time bomb that could pull the story back into supernatural chaos at any moment.

Whether the next chapter delivers romance, lore, or the start of a new crisis, one thing is clear that Okarun and Momo are getting closer than ever, and it is something that everyone was rooting for.
