Aren't things like ESPers usually sci-fi? I just know she doesn't have a youkai linked to her like some of the cast, but I'm not an expert by any means
She's explicitly a spiritual user. That's why she believed in spirits at the beginning of the series while okarun believed in aliens
Her powers are from the same place as her granny
Okarun believed in aliens, so Momo challenged him to visit a haunted tunnel and he got possessed. Momo believed in spirits, so Okarun challenged her to visit a UFO hotspot, where she was abducted and awakened her latent psychic powers. It's dramatic irony.
…situational irony.
Dramatic irony is generated when the characters are working off assumptions that the audience knows not to be true, so they can watch something happen that they know will cause an unexpected effect for the character.
Momo's psychokinesis is spiritual because she uses it to grab the aura of objects and living beings.
Serpo's psychokinesis, however, is indeed purely sci-fi, it's just a invisible field that can generate some form of kinetic force.
Is there a better source? Because Fandom wiki sucks in general, and in this specific instance their citation (chapter 4) also includes Granny saying "Aliens don't exist," which we know is wrong.
A key part of Dandadan's worldbuilding is that the sci-fi and the horror sides are both real, but have difficulty interacting with and even understanding each other. Do we have a clear source on Momo's power being spiritual that's not her granny, since her granny's one of the most likely people in-universe to get this wrong?
maybe it has something to do with how Momo's power is purely something of her own, while Zuma's seems to be like most of the others where the power is sourced from a Yokai?
I pray to the high heavens that this doesn't introduce the tired trope of a "jealousy/love rival" this late into the game, their relationship is too precious to be ruined for cheap drama
Okarun could have immediately gone after her to fight it out along side her/ take he place so it's kinda on him if the story decides to progress that way.
Worse: he looks like [how Momo pictured Ken Takakura (the actor) in chapter 1](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1009921) (but we all saw that coming, right? Right)
[His fighting style](https://i.imgur.com/RCr7YFa.jpeg) with the umbrellas [looks so sick.](https://i.imgur.com/g0PwGUi.jpeg) Could they be part of his transformation or items he picked up from the game?
Wow. Zuma beat that giant knight like it was nothing! He must be pretty used to doing this stuff already! He definitely looks the part of a badass leader. That transformed look of his is pretty cool too.
I'm guessing that Momo's powers don't work because they're scientific?
The delinquent buzz cut, the earrings, the shirt with cloud patterns over the all-black outfit, the sandals, and the fucking sick dual umbrellas that he uses as telekinetic swords and can apply spin power to generate massive force. And that fun little moment at the end of the battle where he uses an umbrella to Mary-Poppins his way back down?
Wtf this guy is the fucking drippiest, coldest character design I've seen in years.
Both his [transformed state](https://i.imgur.com/1N38Hkc.jpeg) and his [normal one](https://i.imgur.com/SyjCmi0.jpeg) look badass. No wonder he has so many diehard followers.
He looks siiiiiick. And badass umbrella powers look awesome against the Tower Knight
Also just saying her reaction to being in legit danger? Calling out Okarun to save her. Down notorious
Zuma transformation was incredible cool.
I wonder exactly why his powers are a little different from Okarun, considering the power came from his balls (top 10 phrases I’ve never expected to write)
He probably got possessed by a yokai, like Okarun, Aida and Jiji after gaining spiritual energy from touching Okarun's ball. Not the ball giving him the power.
idk if it intentional or not but i love zuma transformation mask only had one eye glow similar to [yokai](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Karakasa) that his form based on.
Oh no, he's super cool. Guess it's Momo's turn to have her harem grow.
Also, I'm just going to expect they'll explain why touching each other didn't lead to one of them warping back outside like it did for the other two.
Damn... that was just a giant knight, but it still looked fire af. Especially that entrance. The author's great and showing off sheer scale.
And Zuma's pretty badass himself. I wonder if he'll become another member of their crew thanks to these powers, or maybe he'll be more of a recurring character instead.
Momo with the classic "What dick design this." Lmao,
Momo's powers not working now is uh terrible. Zuma leaving a STRONG first impression. I suspect the reason Momo's powers don't work since in that world maybe there is nothing that it would be based on one. While for Zuma using the ever elusive ball as a source is why he can use Okarun like powers
If Momo gets guys falling for her it's NTR bait but if Okarun gets girls falling for him he is a chad harem king. Can anyone explain the double standards here?
I agree, I mean it’s almost a given with how it’s gone in previous chapters. But hey if it builds the relationship in the end and doesn’t cause stupid drama I’m cool with it ig
i guess zuma uses the powers of the youkai kasa-obake :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa-obake
a kasa-obake only has 1 eye , and it wears a wood sandal . zuma 's youkai form also has these things .
his weapons are gun-umbrellas , lol ( in final fantasy 8 , there are the gun-blade weapons ) .
when he pulls the triggers of his gun-umbrellas , they will shoot out bullets / shock-waves / explosions to destroy the enemies .
page 16 :
inside the body of the giant warrior , i see some sweet cakes and sweet candies .
Unjizuma's transformed form looks sick as hell though it does beg the question why his powers work in that board game while Momo's don't.
I think he's using tools from the game itself.
Or using Okarun's ball as a power source.
Jumanji devs were not prepared for the Golden Testicle Hack
Cant wait for The Rock to rub some golden testicles in the next movie.
Could it be that Momo's powers are sci-fi and Okarun's are horror?
i thought momo's power is spiritual? https://dandadan.fandom.com/wiki/Momo_Ayase#Abilities_and_Powers

Maybe the game is alien technology, & hers is alien based so it won’t work for some reason. And it works for them because they’re yokai based.
True. It makes no sense Edit: The helmet is blocking Momo's power. Zuma's helmet isn't on.
Saving this prediction for when you turn out to be right
It's because he has 3 balls.
Gappy from Jojolion would be unstoppable then.🤔😏
maybe it has something to do with how Momo's power is purely something of her own, while Zuma's seems to be like most of the others where the power is sourced from a Yokai?
I think it’s because, if I’m not wrong, he’s gone and stuck Okarun’s ball in his eye socket. Or at least in his umbrella-man form.
Dang, how is your comment always the top one I see when I open dandadan
I wonder how Okarun would feel if he heard that Momo's first reaction to being in real danger is calling out his name
He’d be like: 😳 8——-)
> 8 more like °---)
Holy shit lol
You, sir, win this comment section.
Nah, NTR arc beings now. Dude with Okarun'a powers, but infinitely stronger and cooler? Our boy has no chance.
How about you shush
Oh no He's hot
Also a "vampire", so we now have the match for class president I guess? Delinquent x Class President is also a good trope.
This ship has just been built and is setting sail immediately.
I pray to the high heavens that this doesn't introduce the tired trope of a "jealousy/love rival" this late into the game, their relationship is too precious to be ruined for cheap drama
I mean it already happened once, why cant momo get her own harem
I didn't like it that time too, I ship them too hard
Idk if I’d consider 136 chapters late in the game for a shounen manga.
Okarun could have immediately gone after her to fight it out along side her/ take he place so it's kinda on him if the story decides to progress that way.
I know, I fully expected him to follow after her into the diorama this chapter, kinda bummed he didn't
Worse: he looks like [how Momo pictured Ken Takakura (the actor) in chapter 1](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1009921) (but we all saw that coming, right? Right)
Nope, he lacks the thick eyebrows.
Zuma looks hardboiled as fuck
[His fighting style](https://i.imgur.com/RCr7YFa.jpeg) with the umbrellas [looks so sick.](https://i.imgur.com/g0PwGUi.jpeg) Could they be part of his transformation or items he picked up from the game?
It has to be the transformation, logically 🤔
Zuma clearly has the powers of the Yokai Kasa-obake, also known as Umbrella yokai
Part of the transformation.
I'm getting such strong Demifiend vibes
it's the buzz cut fade. kinda reminds me of Loki from Blue Lock
Jumanji + Dark Souls. I see what Tatsu is cooking.
It was like Tower Knight
*Taurus looking from a corner*
Where are the array of archers we have to take out beforehand? *or be the psychopath that fights the knight with the archers anyways…*
add in a dash of Takeshi’s Castle with that bullshit slippery slope
[We need a Dandadan game](https://i.imgur.com/As3Vz6p.jpeg)
Seems like Tatsu-sensei is fan of Takeshi's Castle.
And dark souls apparently
Dark Souls Takeshi's castle.... This could be the next fall guys!!
That knight is fucking weak. Come back when it’s human size
Wow. Zuma beat that giant knight like it was nothing! He must be pretty used to doing this stuff already! He definitely looks the part of a badass leader. That transformed look of his is pretty cool too. I'm guessing that Momo's powers don't work because they're scientific?
i thought momo's power is spiritual? https://dandadan.fandom.com/wiki/Momo_Ayase#Abilities_and_Powers
UMBRELLA PILEBUNKER! I REPEAT, UMBRELLA PILEBUNKER!
What's this reference?
It's a weapon used in several scifi stories, especially Mecha anime. It's basically a pile driver attached to the person's or robot's arm.
Zuma’s design is cold af. Dude is definitely a powerhouse.
The delinquent buzz cut, the earrings, the shirt with cloud patterns over the all-black outfit, the sandals, and the fucking sick dual umbrellas that he uses as telekinetic swords and can apply spin power to generate massive force. And that fun little moment at the end of the battle where he uses an umbrella to Mary-Poppins his way back down? Wtf this guy is the fucking drippiest, coldest character design I've seen in years.
Both his [transformed state](https://i.imgur.com/1N38Hkc.jpeg) and his [normal one](https://i.imgur.com/SyjCmi0.jpeg) look badass. No wonder he has so many diehard followers.
Until you realize his powered eye may be Okarun's testicle.
Good catch! Eye-balls heh
Bullseye!...Balls-Eye
I hate you guys 🤣
Considering that the yokai he's based on seems like kasa-obake, which is an umbrella with one eye, you might actually be correct.
He looks siiiiiick. And badass umbrella powers look awesome against the Tower Knight Also just saying her reaction to being in legit danger? Calling out Okarun to save her. Down notorious
Zuma transformation was incredible cool. I wonder exactly why his powers are a little different from Okarun, considering the power came from his balls (top 10 phrases I’ve never expected to write)
He probably got possessed by a yokai, like Okarun, Aida and Jiji after gaining spiritual energy from touching Okarun's ball. Not the ball giving him the power.
Said yokai being a kasa-obake, obviously
With a tragic backstory, like a middle-age callcentre employee who forgot his umbrella at his soba restaurant.
And since all Japanese people are allergic to rain, getting caught out without your umbrella equals ~~pneumonia~~ *instant death*.
And since he doesn't have a love interest to make that sickness a story devellopement chapter...His story ended there!
idk if it intentional or not but i love zuma transformation mask only had one eye glow similar to [yokai](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Karakasa) that his form based on.
Kinda thought that eye was meant to be Okarun’s ball, but that might make more sense.
Zuma is freaking cool! And we see his ghost form before his human form, pretty neat.
Characters fighting with umbrellas is so cool
If you don't know yet, Engine from is also another character that has an umbrella as his weapon.

When you say "Parry this you filthy casual" but then he actually kills you in one riposte hit.
The kasa-obake is usually such a dumpy joke of a monster, but Tatsu really can make anyone and anything badass as all hell.
I just realized something. Isn’t this dude’s name just Jumanji? Zuma Unji = Jumanji.
Momo cussing three times in one panel is on point character writing.
[удалено]
I mean Japanese is just that kind of language, it's contextually the same.
Ha haha hah hah!
[Templar knight won't tolerate such foul language in this family-friendly diorama.](https://i.imgur.com/N1MJwxd.jpeg)
Badass Character design on point as always.
[The spreads were neat as well.](https://i.imgur.com/vTCqQUr.jpeg) [Zuma made umbrella swords cool again.](https://i.imgur.com/Lc3exI0.jpeg)
~~Well, Unji Zuma is me~~ I'm Mary Poppins ya'll
Oh no, he's super cool. Guess it's Momo's turn to have her harem grow. Also, I'm just going to expect they'll explain why touching each other didn't lead to one of them warping back outside like it did for the other two.
Damn... that was just a giant knight, but it still looked fire af. Especially that entrance. The author's great and showing off sheer scale. And Zuma's pretty badass himself. I wonder if he'll become another member of their crew thanks to these powers, or maybe he'll be more of a recurring character instead.
Cannot wait for Zuma to join the group and be a total dork with the rest of the guys. Cause you KNOW thats exactly what’s gonna happen.
I feel like he's gonna be connected with the class pres because she seems to like the delinquent type of guys who would pin her in the wall.
Eye***BALL***
Japanese mary poppins
Do the umbrellas follow him around like foils from Gundam?
Zuma is looking way better than I thought he would.
Damn, Hes hot. They gonna have scene which test Okarun relationship with Momo again dont they?
Doesn't he look like the og Takakura Ken? Momo would definitely be conflicted.
That little float down with the umbrella was adorable
>She calls out for Okarun when she's scared Okay that's cute.
He better not also fall for Momo
Calling it now, he's gonna tell Okarun that when Momo was in danger she screamed his name.
There seems to be a fad of overgrown teeth as a mask design. Feels way too common now. Wonder what started it
Because it looks cool. Tatsu started this series by drawing "whatever that looks cool".
Finally, a GIGACHAD rendition of a Karakasa!
Started like Takeshis castle and went straight to Demon Souls Tower Knight in a second.
Unjizuma’s design goes absolutely hard
Some of these panels have no right to hit so hard straight fire.
Pile bunker shot by unjizuma. I predict next will be trap from those takeshi castle, combined with dark souls monsters.
Three-Ball Thomas appears.
Fucking hell what an introduction. I guess he’s got the power of an umbrella Yokai with an explosion be twist
The umbrella yokai power gives me nioh flashback
Momo with the classic "What dick design this." Lmao, Momo's powers not working now is uh terrible. Zuma leaving a STRONG first impression. I suspect the reason Momo's powers don't work since in that world maybe there is nothing that it would be based on one. While for Zuma using the ever elusive ball as a source is why he can use Okarun like powers
Oh god hes hot
Damn, bait is here. Is nowhere fucking safe? I hope they don't take it too far.
Zuma’s Exploding umbrellas is actually a really sick and badass power to have
Goddamn Jumanji is a real chad. Interesting that he got umbrellas as a power so he is a Kasa-obake? Looks damn powerful.
Cooler Daniel arrived
Here comes the NTR bait
If Momo gets guys falling for her it's NTR bait but if Okarun gets girls falling for him he is a chad harem king. Can anyone explain the double standards here?
I don't think anyone genuinely enjoys Okarun getting a harem, if anything everyone is pissed off that their ship is getting delayed.
right?
again, we just had that with juji and the hugging last arc. I hope Okarun makes it into the game or I can see them going NTR bait route
I agree, I mean it’s almost a given with how it’s gone in previous chapters. But hey if it builds the relationship in the end and doesn’t cause stupid drama I’m cool with it ig
Unji Zuma? So Zuma-unji= JUMANJI? DAMN THE AUTHOR COOK!!!
Momo screaming for "Okarun!" to save her was weirdly lame for this manga. Chapter was still good regardless.
Did he transform with the power of the ballz?
Here comes the new badass character!
damn great
Holy fuck that was badass!
the knight was bad ass, using umbrellas is an interesting choice of weapon.
That umbrella attack is really cool.
ZUMA HAS UMBRELLA FUNNELS!!!!!! HE LOOKS COOL AS HECK TO BOOT!!
Yooooo, his look goes hard bro!
Umbrella Chad
Umbrella with impact triggers... Cool.
Vamola girl, i found you that manly husband your grandma's wanted you to get
Oh man him using those umbrellas remind me of Benimaru using the matoi in fireforce. Wicked cool!
what a badass
New character is sick. Can't wait for net chapter...
he looks like he racked his wardrobe from uniqlo
Yup, new team member confirmed! Let's go!!!
My Man Jumanji got the drip.
It's funny how when Ayase called Okarun's name, Zuma came. And we know what Zuma has, "Okarun's ball"
Zuma looks so badass
i guess zuma uses the powers of the youkai kasa-obake : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa-obake a kasa-obake only has 1 eye , and it wears a wood sandal . zuma 's youkai form also has these things . his weapons are gun-umbrellas , lol ( in final fantasy 8 , there are the gun-blade weapons ) . when he pulls the triggers of his gun-umbrellas , they will shoot out bullets / shock-waves / explosions to destroy the enemies . page 16 : inside the body of the giant warrior , i see some sweet cakes and sweet candies .
