A brief recap of Dandadan chapter 203

Dandadan chapter 203, titled The Mysterious Man, kicks off with the Saint-Germain lookalike bowing to Seiko after he separated her from the rest of the group. But the bow gesture doesn’t last long; it soon shifts to an attack. Seiko narrowly avoids the first strike, but the next one lands. It quickly turns into a relentless barrage of attacks.

Each blow is packed with serious power. Seiko can tell that he’s aiming straight for her vital points. But because he’s going straight for the vitals, she can also predict his moves easier. Even so, when she counterattacks, her hit doesn’t land. Her fist just goes right through him, as if he’s made of smoke.

Taking advantage of her confusion, his next punch lands directly on her face. He follows up with a flurry of blows that end in a devastating final punch, sending Seiko flying. She crashes into the wall, clearly hurt. He pauses, impressed by her strength, as she’s managed to surprise him.

Seiko, on the other hand, finally figures out what he is. She identifies him as Enenra, a smoke yokai. He pins her down, telling her to accept defeat. But Seiko isn’t the type to give up without a fight. So Enenra goes in for another attack.

Meanwhile, Momo hears the noise from somewhere and wonders what it could be. She worries for her granny’s safety, and rightfully so, since Seiko is shown in a bad state, bruised and bleeding while Enenra stands over her. He’s curious now, ready to experiment with what would happen if he just keeps breaking her down physically to see whether that would eventually shatter her spirit.

Just as the situation gets worse for Seiko, the chapter closes on a dramatic, well-timed shift. The Evil Eye barges in, fed up with waiting for Momo’s group in the cab.

With Enenra overpowering Seiko and the Evil Eye showing up right on time, Dandadan chapter 204 will likely see the yokai inside Jiji step in to face off against the newly introduced smoke yokai. If the two yokai clash, things are bound to get even more intense.

The next entry might also check in on Momo and Vamola’s battle with the chameleon-faced alien and the phantom thieves. With time running out to save Momo and the others affected by the curse, the stakes are only going to intensify and the action is set to ramp up.
