Recap for Chapter 247

In this chapter, we saw how Bamora joined Aira and the Evil Eye as they fought against the powerful chimera dinosaur. After Mantisian had repaired her kaiju suit, Bamora tried to transform, but her suit ended up malfunctioning, and it made her giant instead.

This was definitely an unexpected change, but Bamora ended up adapting quickly and also found that if she ended up injuring herself, it would be fatal. That is when Aira jumped right in to protect her and also try to help identify its weakness. In the end, it was Aira who theorized that its joints could be vulnerable. Bamora then prepared to target those joints, setting up the next stage of the battle.


What to expect from Dandadan Chapter 248? (Speculative)

Looking at the ending of the previous installment, here is what fans could expect from Dandadan Chapter 248:

  • Bamora targets the chimera dinosaur's joints: The recent installment showed us the group's strategy for dealing with William Marshall. Dandadan Chapter 248 will likely see Bamora repeatedly attack the creature's joints, searching for the point where its unnatural construction begins to break down.
  • Aira continues to be the MVP: Aira has arguably become one of the most reliable fighters during this arc. Dandadan Chapter 248 could push Aira even further into the role of Bamora's defensive partner. Her ability to use her hair creatively could allow her to restrain the dinosaur's tail or create openings for Bamora to attack its weak points.
  • Bamora's giant form may have another advantage: There may be more to Bamora's malfunctioning transformation than simply making her bigger. It is possible that Dandadan Chapter 248 will reveal that Bamora's transformation, despite being an accident, has created a form that is actually better suited to fighting this particular enemy.

In the end, with Bamora providing the brute force and Aira handling defense, the Evil Eye might end up joining this fight, and it's just what might be needed to turn everything around in favor of the good guys.
