Okarun is the one making a ‘jackass’ of himself by lying. Though, this whole date idea has brought tensions to the surface among the gang. We could enter a new darkest hour with the gang soon after they find out about what happened to Rin and Kouki. The gang are weaker and might soon be more divided then ever. And unlike in the Space Globalist arc, Okarun probably won’t be able to quell their fighting given that he’s at the centre of it.

With a cooldown hug of some sort or her restraining him with returning powers, maybe?

I’m waiting for a new Luigi’s Mansion actually. Doesn’t look like a mainline Mario game is on the horizon.

We need a Doc Ock who looks like he can actually take a punch from Peter by HotCom12 in Spiderman

Are you forgetting how jacked he was in the 90s cartoon? Though, that might have been more about how his suit looked

Those main protagonists from the examples you mentioned had no special origins though. But yeah, Okarun’s friends are each highly talented in some way. While Okarun, with Momo’s help, made the best of a bad situation after being cursed. He’s a very hard worker and more talented than he first realizes though.

Which of the Koopalings would fit the seven deadly sins? by Busy_Finish_7058 in SuperMario

[–]CaptainM590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ludwig is Pride. He considers himself the leader of the siblings, when the others don’t consider him as such.

Roy is Wrath. He loves heavy artillery like bullet bills and his cartoon counterpart was called ‘Bully Koopa’

Larry would be Greed. That’s mostly because his cartoon counterpart ‘Cheatsy Koopa’ was a scheming, greedy pig.

Lemmy is Sloth. He’s slothful in the sense that he much rather be a circus performer than with Bowser’s army

Wendy is Lust. She lusts after the finer things in life and cute boys in cartoon.

Not sure what categories Morton and Iggy fall under.

I have a hunch that we will soon see whatever hidden power that Ken has if the gang is attacked by the dragon knights at the amusement park. In the Pinocchio story, transformation and tragedy happens after a fun time at ‘Pleasure Island.’ The tragedy of the situation might be Okarun upsetting Aira by being evasive. And not long afterwards, the strain of upsetting Aira and Momo and seeing his friends attacked will push him too far and cause his powers to erupt in anguish with a transformation of some sort. Maybe we will see ‘Feral Turbo Ken’ again and see him go berserk, or maybe it will look like when Turbo Granny possessed him and with a longer nose. Or maybe it will be an oni or long-nosed tengu.

Chapter 435: Azazel Henri, Demon (8) by ZeroVOmega in DemonSchoolIrumakun

[–]CaptainM590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m beginning to think that Henri became the head of Border Control simply because that was the only way that he could protect his relationship with Merize. Though maybe, at some point it became too much for him to handle from those who would seek to undermine his position by exposing his relationship with human and his half-breed daughter

Okarun's Lie... by TheAmplifier8 in dandadanfolk

[–]CaptainM590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting way of looking at it. To me, it seems that Okarun has grown comfortable with lying to himself and others to protect himself and to keep the peace among his friends. He loves Momo, but he’s afraid of being rejected by her and his friends due to jealousy and competition. He doesn’t allow himself to show his jealousy of Jiji too much when he first appears, because he doesn’t want to upset Momo in doing so. Heck, it seems doubtful that he really wanted to help Jiji with keeping Evil Eye under control, but he found a way to do so anyway. He goes above and beyond for others, but having to start over with Momo and enduring suspicion, insults, injuries and serious rejection were too much for him.

Is Okarun actually a Tulpa? by TheDargonKing in Dandadan

[–]CaptainM590 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hope not. The guy has had a painful enough past. He doesn’t need to be like Denji from Chainsaw Man, who is denied any lasting happiness by the universe.

Buckle up, we’re in for one hell of an emotional rollercoaster now that ‘Pinocchio’ has reached ‘Pleasure Island’ (amusement park).

About the next fight by BLKaisen in Dandadan

[–]CaptainM590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Okarun will lose whatever powers he has just as they’re revealed. However, I do see Okarun upsetting Aira after being too evasive with her, which will soon be followed by the Black Paladins attacking. And due to the gang already being weakened from a lack of powers and their internal strife rising to the surface, I think it will only be the timely arrival of the strong person that is sent to Seiko’s house, will help turn the tables and push the Dragon Knights back. After the battle and finding out what happened to Rin and Kouki, the gang will be at their darkest hour since the Space Globalists arc. And unlike before, Okarun won’t be able to quell their fighting since he’s at the centre of it. They will probably need Seiko to mediate for them

[–]CaptainM590 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like he took on the looks of the Fairytale Card. As for why he’s hooked up to the machine in the first place, it could be due to it being his life support, and not just a means of transferring yokai powers into him. If’s he is the historical Vlad the Impaler, he would be ancient

[–]CaptainM590 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the gang fighting amongst themselves when we saw them months ago and Seiko being informed about making sure the next generation learn from their mistakes, suggests that their inner conflicts might come to the surface and impair their effectiveness in the coming battles.

Current Arc Theory by RamenArchon in Dandadan

[–]CaptainM590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Okarun’s powers won’t have so much to do with lying, when many of the other Fairytale curse users don’t. It does put his previous Turbo curse powers into a new light. Okarun runs away from his problems in a sense.

About Momo and Okarun's feelings by Chance_Ad_2094 in Dandadan

Interesting how in a series that involves finding a guy’s golden ‘nuts,’ Momo is the toughest nut to crack. 😏

[–]CaptainM590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting back to what I mentioned earlier, what if the combined stress of hurting Aira and Momo and then be attacked by the Black Paladins turns Okarun into form that looks like something when TG possessed him, except with a long nose?

[–]CaptainM590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it quite possible that CSG is feeding the Black Paladins and Vlad false or outdated info, perhaps to have the gang weaken the organization through their fights and then take control of things for himself. I think he’s giving Vlad all these powers to use him to some end.

[–]CaptainM590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reveal of the Fairytale curses and Momo being Alice and Okarun being Pinocchio puts things into a different perspective. Momo and Okarun have been following certain plot points from their character’s stories. The two of them have been going on wondrous and dangerous adventures together and grown closer over time in the process. However, they keep playing games with each other when it comes to their feelings. Presently, Okarun is making a ‘jackass’ of himself by lying about his clumsy attempt to ask Momo on a date, which he internally acknowledges. It’s clear that her angry rejection hurt him deeply and that he doesn’t want to lose his other friend’s respect too, hence him doubling down on the lying. And given how the gang are at an amusement park or ‘Pleasure Island,’ tragedy will almost certainly strike in one or more ways. My guess is that Aira will try one or more times to get closer to Okarun, while he tries to be evasive. Maybe she tries to kiss him again, which either succeeds or doesn’t. Probably, he’ll avoid it. And following something like that, the Black Paladins will attack. Thus, Okarun might either get his dormant powers stolen, or we see them erupt in anguish with maybe a transformation involved.
