A brief synopsis of Dandadan chapter 197
Dandadan chapter 197, titled Earthworm! Go!, picks up from the previous chapter’s end, with the Tsuchinoko/the Great Serpent launching frozen sharks at the Typhoon Human. Momo and Jiji are amazed by its attacks, and Momo wonders how the worm isn’t freezing despite being exposed to high-altitude conditions.
Naki Kito reminds her not to underestimate something that’s spent its life underground. Just as the group gets ready to support the Tsuchinoko, one of the frozen sharks slams into the plane, creating a hole and throwing Momo out. Jiji leaps to grab her but barely misses.
As Momo is about to drift away, Zuma catches her using one of his umbrellas to shield her and the other to maintain ground. However, another shark hits, causing him to slip. Jiji manages to grab Zuma’s hand just in time, while Zuma holds onto Momo.
Meanwhile, Naki Kito questions how many sharks they’ll need to defeat the Typhoon Human, which still seems unfazed despite the barrage. Things escalate as the Typhoon Human begins absorbing sharks through its nose and launching them back. The attack tears through the Tsuchinoko.

With the Serpent torn apart and beginning to drift, Momo uses her aura arms to catch it mid-air. Jiji worries how they’ll continue the assault without the Serpent’s help, but Momo comes up with a creative solution.
By threading her aura arm through the Tsuchinoko like a windsock, Momo flies it like a kite, keeping it airborne. She asks Naki Kito to lift the creature’s head to help gain altitude. Jiji becomes concerned that the plane is leaving them behind, but Momo insists that pushing toward the stratosphere is the only way forward.
Despite Jiji telling her to retreat, Momo stands firm, as they need to defeat the Typhoon Human to get to Shimane.
The chapter ends on a dramatic cliffhanger, as Momo reveals her plan to strike directly at the Eye of the Typhoon to defeat it. The final panel shows the enormous eye, the core of the typhoon, as Momo and co fly to it.
What to expect in Dandadan chapter 198? (speculative)

As the battle continues to escalate with each chapter, Dandadan chapter 198 is expected to dive deeper into Momo’s strategy to take down the massive eye of the Typhoon Human. Since she revealed that striking the eye is key to defeating it, the upcoming chapter will likely show how she plans to pull it off.
With the narrative only growing crazier and intense, readers can look forward to seeing how this wild fight unfolds in even more unpredictable ways. The Evil Eye may play a crucial role in their success.
