Dandadan Chapter 226 Release date, Quick Recap
As a long-time manga reader who lives for chaotic supernatural battles and ridiculous power scaling, I honestly think Dandadan is in one of its most exciting stretches right now. Chapter 225 felt like pure flex energy from start to finish, and if Chapter 226 delivers on the setup, we might be heading into a major turning point arc.
Release Date
Chapter 226 drops February 24, 2026 on official platforms like Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app. Definitely read it legally if you can because the art absolutely deserves it.
Quick Recap — Chapter 225 Was Absolute Chaos
The chapter titled “The Ultimate Yokai” basically existed to prove one thing: Hanako-san is terrifyingly broken.
- Vakappa and Jack Wisp got destroyed and not even dramatically because she treated them like toys.
- Bathroom fixtures became weapons which is peak absurd Dandadan logic.
- She literally flushed one enemy down a toilet and crushed another with a lid.
- Red Baron escaped once he realized he stood zero chance.
- Final twist revealed Turbo Granny was the one who called Hanako for backup.
Honestly this chapter felt like a full victory lap for the yokai side of the power scale.
Fan Theories & My Take for Chapter 226
The fandom is buzzing right now and I’m completely on board with several of the most popular predictions floating around.
1. Red Baron Is in Trouble
If he reports back to Count Saint Germain after running away he is absolutely cooked. I would not be surprised if he tries to prove his worth by aggressively using the stolen abilities next chapter.
2. Momo’s Memory Comeback Incoming?
The amnesia plot with Momo Ayase has been simmering for a while and it feels like we are close to payoff. A shock trigger such as a major threat to Okarun could snap her back instantly and that would make for a perfect cliffhanger ending.
3. Training Arc Payoff
Okarun’s Ogre Club training clearly has narrative purpose because classic shonen logic says training shown equals power reveal soon so I expect at least a teaser of his upgraded abilities.
Why This Arc Feels Different
- The stakes feel layered with space plots yokai politics and stolen powers.
- Power scaling is becoming unpredictable.
- Multiple storylines are converging at once.
That combination usually signals a major arc shift or even a location change and I would not rule out a sudden setting jump or mini timeskip soon.

Final Fan Verdict
If Chapter 225 was the flex then Chapter 226 will probably be the setup explosion. Either we get emotional payoff with Momo power payoff with Okarun or villain escalation with Count Saint Germain and if we are lucky we might actually get all three.
