Is Turbo Granny back in Dandadan? 

The events that took place in Dandadan Chapter 219 delivered exactly what fans were waiting for: Turbo Granny has made her appearance for the first time since she had said her goodbyes. This officially ends her long absence from the story. Those who read this chapter have noted that her return is quiet, emotional, and strangely wholesome, showing up not during a battle or comedic chase, but at the hospital bedside, Seiko, who is recovering from recent events.

In the story of Dandadan, she is a character known for chaos, crude humor, and violent misunderstandings, and now this soft re-entry feels deliberate move by the creator. And it signals that Turbo Granny may once again play a major role in the arcs ahead and might also lend her powers to Okarun. In this article, we will take a deeper dive into her character to understand the importance of her role and why fans are celebrating her comeback.

Why Turbo Granny was always so important

To fully understand why her reappearance is making fans happy, let us look at her history in the story of Dandadan. She was the first supernatural threat that ended up becoming a crucial ally for the main cast. Given that Okarun lost his precious body part in exchange but he gained power beyond what a normal human being could ever achieve.

Also, she does come across as someone selfish and indifferent about her surroundings, but her true nature is completely different. Time and again, Tubro Granny would selflessly save Momo whenever she was in danger and never ask for anything in return. Especially the day when she heard Momo's voice on the call asking for help, she just heard a girl who needed saving and jumped right into action.

Although later on she took control over Okarun's genitals, which resulted in a showdown that showcases everything readers love (and fear) about her: cruel humor, unpredictable behavior, and genuine menace. Yet it also reveals her limitations, as Momo in Dandadan eventually traps her inside Okarun’s body and forces the yokai into a strange, unwilling partnership.

After her disappearance, why did fans want her back?

From that point onward, Turbo Granny becomes one of Dandadan’s strangest and most entertaining recurring characters. Whether she’s taunting Okarun, bargaining with Momo, or being stuffed into a cat doll after Seiko exorcises her, she always brings chaos wherever she goes. She participates in major arcs, but one thing remained consistent: Turbo Granny was always near the main cast, and always tied to Okarun through the powers he inherited from her. And that is why when she disappeared from recent arcs, it felt so noticeable.

Why her return in Dandadan Chapter 219 matters for the future

Those who are wondering how her character would influence the story ahead, Dandadan Chapter 219 finally answers that question. Turbo Granny returns not as a villain, not as a deus ex machina, and not as comedic relief, but as someone who voluntarily visits Seiko in the hospital. Her presence here is surprisingly emotional. In the final panels of the chapter, both Turbo Granny and Seiko share a strange bond rooted in familiarity, and they are talking like they are old friends. This suggests that maybe her connection to the Ayase family runs deeper than that time she had to share her powers with Okarun.

Final thoughts

So yes, Turbo Granny is back in Dandadan, and her return feels both nostalgic and meaningful. Whether she becomes an ally, a threat, or something more complex, one thing is certain: the story is always better (and far more unhinged) when Turbo Granny is involved.
