2. Summary of Chapter 171 of Dandadan

The story in Chapter 171 kicks off with Okarun and Aira trapped in a seemingly enchanted classroom as the doors ominously slam shut behind them.

Kinta, noticing the locked door, speculates that Okarun is purposely leaving him out. Yet, with his abilities, he can still sense Okarun and Aira’s presence within. Upon opening the door, he is met with an ordinary classroom, deepening the intrigue surrounding their predicament.

Momo rapidly alerts Okarun that they’ve entered an Empty Space, which leaves him puzzled since he no longer possesses Turbo Granny’s abilities.

As Okarun finds part of himself merged with a prep table, Aira morphs into her Acrobatic Silky form, gearing up for battle.

Meanwhile, Momo spots pygmies sewing their outfits together, though Okarun and Aira remain oblivious to their presence. Momo uses her psychic talents to thwart the pygmies by cutting their fused clothing. Aira, still unable to perceive the pygmies, recklessly attacks, leading to the pygmies managing to tie her hair and ignite it using a prep table burner.

The chapter concludes with the trio facing escalating peril, with no apparent escape from this bizarre realm.

As Chapter 172 unfolds, fans can anticipate Momo taking more assertive steps, harnessing her abilities to rescue Okarun and Aira from the mischievous pygmies’ onslaught.

With Aira’s hair ablaze and Okarun partially melded to the table, Momo will need to tap into her psychic powers more intensely than ever before.

Given that Okarun can access Empty Space despite lacking Turbo Granny’s powers, he may possess some latent supernatural abilities that could assist the group, potentially hinted at in the upcoming chapter.
