With the iron bull having ambushed and taken down Seiko, fans are now looking forward Dandadan Chapter 178 to learn more about Kashimoto and Payase. Here's what we predict will happen next.
Seiko Ayase's allies, Kashimoto and Payase, are expected to appear and show off their abilities in the upcoming Chapter 178 of Dandadan. Although the official reveal is limited, the direction of Chapter 177 suggests that the plot will focus on introducing Kashimoto and Payase's powers.
These abilities could be similar to Momo Ayase and Ken 'Okarun' Takakura, positioning them as mentors to the main duo and advancing the plot accordingly. Continue reading for more predictions and possible spoilers Dandadan Chapter 178.
Dandadan Chapter 178: Seiko steps back and recovers
Seiko, after suffering significant damage from the iron bull and jiangshi, will likely step back to recover in Dandadan Chapter 178. Her weakened condition caused her to focus on regrouping instead of continuing to participate.
She is able to share important observations with Kashimoto and Payase, including her suspicion that the bull's knife and its request for surrender are related to a larger plan. This information could convince the pair to take the lead in battle.
Dandadan Chapter 178: Kashimoto's abilities and the battle with the jiangshi
Kashimoto will probably fight the jiangshi first, with Dandadan Chapter 178 reveals more about his abilities. His powers may center on crowd control, possibly related to the bird-like creature he uses as a manifestation of his spiritual aura.
This creature was able to help him effectively neutralize the jiangshi while impressing even Seiko with his abilities. Observing Kashimoto's performance could allow Seiko to draw parallels between his and Momo's powers, cementing their potential roles as mentors to the younger group.
Dandadan Chapter 178: Payase fights the iron bull
The iron bull, having stepped back a bit to recover, was able to return to the battle, targeting Kashimoto and Payase. Payase can face the bull head-on, using his strength to counter its brute strength. His abilities, which may include increased speed and attack power, may be revealed to be similar to Okarun's Turbo Granny form.
This confrontation in Dandadan Chapter 178 will likely include Payase revealing the yokai or cursed object that gives him his abilities, suggesting a potential path for Okarun to regain similar powers with Payase acting as a mentor his.
Dandadan Chapter 178: The battle ends with Iron Bull's defeat
As the fight progresses, Kashimoto and Payase are able to team up against the bull. Their cooperation could see the duo temporarily tame the iron bull, even setting up its defeat. If this chapter ended here, it would likely only briefly focus on Seiko seeking their help for an unspecified favor.
Alternatively, the story could switch to Seiko leading the group to Daikokuten shrine, continuing her search for uchide-no-kozuchi in Dandadan Chapter 178.
