What to expect from Dandadan chapter 102? (speculative)

Dandadan chapter 102 will possibly see the grand return of Okarun, who, with his newly discovered abilities, won’t be holding off in the battle against the aliens. Kinta will also be joining others eventually, as he took off from Momo’s residence on a makeshift hyperbike.

Given the situation has worsened lately with Momo and Serpo being unable to close the portal, Seiko and Turbo Granny will also make their return. As the previous chapter ended things midway through exploring Vamola’s past, Dandadan chapter 102 is expected to reveal how she received the Kaiju suit and the truth behind the deity her people worshiped.

A brief recap of Dandadan chapter 101

Retrieving Vamola’s body from the hands of the aliens, Momo tried to save her despite Serpo telling her she was an enemy too. Using his energy shield, Serpo protected Momo while she treated her wounds. However, after an intense battle, Momo was exhausted and was only left with a small reserve of her spiritual powers, which she used to save Vamola and got blasted away.

Aira, Jiji, Okarun, and others were subsequently alerted through their receivers subsequently after Momo transferred her life force to Vamola. The scene traversed the past, centering on infant Vamola left abandoned in the middle of nowhere amidst an intense battle. Witnessing a lone child on the battlefield, a woman named Banga saved Vamola and started raising her as her own.

Being a person with a pragmatic approach to life, Banga taught Vamola everything so she would be prepared for the worst. Eventually, the former introduced the paintings of the god of the Sumerian race, the Great Kaiju. Banga prayed in the harshest way possible, despising God for the misery that fell upon the Sumerians and professing she would do anything for survival, even if she had to sacrifice others.
