Dandadan Drops Big Jump Scare With Jarring Creepypasta Cameo

As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast who’s seen it all, I must say that the latest twist in Dandadan has me both intrigued and slightly unnerved. The introduction of a character resembling the infamous Momo creepypasta has added an eerie layer to the storyline, making the reading experience even more thrilling.


It’s possible that Dandadan is gearing up for its anime premiere in Fall 2024, but the manga has sent shivers down fans’ spines by incorporating a real-life creepypasta into the latest installment of the series! The storyline of Dandadan has progressed to a new chapter with Momo Ayase being trapped in a small form after their battle against the Fairy-Tale Card, while Okarun is proceeding without any abilities from Turbo Granny. However, as the narrative begins to unfold in this new arc, eerie new elements are surfacing amidst the mounting mysteries revealed in each subsequent chapter.

In a recent turn of events, Dandadan parted ways with Okarun and Momo, as they both needed to revert back to their routine lives. However, Momo remains incredibly small. Believing she saw a fairy in the library, Okarun allowed Momo to stay behind and pursue the elusive creature. As Momo searches for this mysterious fairy, the latest chapter hints that she’s now being pursued herself by someone who seems aware of her diminutive size. This new character shares an uncanny resemblance with the well-known internet icon, “Momo,” a terrifying figure from creepypasta lore.

What Happens in Dandadan Chapter 168?

In Chapter 168 of Dandadan, Momo ventures into the library, finding that her diminutive size hasn’t affected her abilities. However, while scouring the library, a peculiar girl peeks in, giving off a spooky vibe reminiscent of Momo herself. In her hand, the girl seems to wield either a tiny knife or comb. As she digs deeper into the library, even getting on all fours to look closely at the floor, it’s evident that she not only suspects Momo is hiding in the library but also knows she’s shrunken down.

Momo makes a dash for it by pushing over books and furniture, prompting the girl to shout “Step aside!” as she pursues the small creature. Luckily, Momo manages to get away from her, but this incident leaves many wondering about the girl’s identity. Not only does she seem to know that Momo has been transformed, but it’s clear she wants to catch Momo for some suspicious purpose. This encounter adds yet another layer of mystery to the ongoing storyline.

Who Is Momo?

Interestingly enough, the creepypasta in Dandadan Chapter 168 shares the same name, “Momo,” as its origin. This name is associated with a sculpture by Keisuke Aso Aisawa, which over time has become an internet meme and urban legend known as creepypasta. The sculpture depicts a woman with bird legs and oversized eyes, sparking tales among netizens about a creature named “Momo” that allegedly contacted children to perform harmful acts. As these stories spread, “Momo” gained notoriety as an internet myth, even inspiring a viral challenge.

This story, much like how a chilling tale might spread rapidly online, is often referred to as “creepypasta.” It has gained such recognition that its associated visuals are now iconic. Interestingly, it appears that the creator of Dandadan, Yukinobu Tatsu, incorporated this very image into his manga. Given the influence this series has had on many of its monster and alien designs, it wouldn’t be shocking if this image was one of the elements that sparked the creator’s inspiration as well.
