I have to admit that this whole invasion arc was getting a little bit tiring for me but this conclusion was AWESOME. Man I really love going back to this manga

One of the very best volumes of this spectacular manga.

Dandadan volume 14, traz a conclusão da saga da invasão alienígena na terra e mostra a evolução dos personagens, tanto no quesito de seus poderes quanto no que tange o trabalho em equipe e amizade entre eles.

Na trama, após a chegada de Okarun e reunião da equipe, os protagonistas encaram de frente os aliens e conseguem uma virada na batalha.

Okarun utiliza o que aprendeu com Seiko, enquanto o Olho Demoníaco, que antes não queria lutar - se junta a batalha, e a equipe consegue subjugar os invasores.

Eles se dividem, ocasionando embates pontuais contra cada tipo de alien, resultando em cenas incríveis de luta do Okarun e uma tática arriscada de Momo para vencer o inimigo.

No decorrer da luta, após alguns empecilhos, eles ganham um reforço na batalha e o megazord entra em cena, gerando cenas de ação muito boas.

Entretanto, mesmo que haja bastante ação nessa edição, o que mais gostei foi a interação entre os personagens, destacando a amizade entre eles e a confiança que eles possuem. Tudo isso com aquela pitada de humor que Dandadan consegue trabalhar muito bem.

Mas backstory de Bamora.

Y pues continua la pelea con los aliens, la cual es genial. Escenas y momentos tops epicos. Y ese "finale".

Their little friend group/family is so sweet🥲🫶

[Dubzor · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm suddenly very worried that this is going to keep chugging along far past my interest. Hope I'm wrong. Love the series, but they just keep adding more and more and it feels like the intimacy between characters was lost.

Fue increíble ver cómo terminó este arco que si duro bastante Pero también lo justo y necesario además de tener a todos los personajes reunidos luchando, exceptuando a la abuela de Ayase y la turbovieja. Aquí podemos ver todos los personajes a su máximo potencial como Jiji haciendo uso del Qui, la lucha de Aira contra varios enemigos etc. Es fascinante ver qué incluso Sakata no se comporta como toda una molestia como en su primera aparición aún que sea un poco pervertido por momentos ese es su arquetipo pero aquí es mejor su esfuerzo y lo bueno que a pesar de todo llega a ser de gran ayuda. Fue increíble arco ver toda esta guerra loca de Aliens contra adolescentes con poderes Yokai y ojalá se mantenga este nivel de narrativa a lo largo de la obra

Kinta is so questionable yet so funny? Like I know that his motives with Vamola are anything, and I mean ANYTHING, but pure, but at the same time when he rescues her he's actually pretty awesome lol. And showing up on a sci-fi motorcycle like that was also really cool. Imagine the power Kinta would have if he had Jiji's body.
And once again I absolutely love the subversion of expectations by having a yokai save all of them. Rather than making out them out to be evil the author continues to show the human origins of yokai and how they aren't necessarily malevolent creatures.
Plus as soon as they stop fighting, normal teenage problems come back to the forefront of their brains and it's so cute

[Eliot_vibes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a powerful ark. I knew that power creep was an issue with this series, from what I read online, but this entire ark really balances the moments of power versus the moments close to defeat well. I really believe that only the most powerful yo-kai could take out the alien fleet. Even with minimal information about the slit mouthed woman those flash backs floored me. Emotions and this series are handled so well! And then the bit at the end with the friendship and found family vibes. UGH, it's so good! That is what I love about this series. The action can be as cool as it wants, but the characters genuinely feel like a friend group. So good.

[Des Fox · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an extremely satisfying conclusion and a great setup for what's next. I love that "empty space" functions like the lower astral realm, really drawing in the parallels between aliens and yokai. Reiko's involvement also heavily returned us to form with Okarun's alien v yokai hypothesis. It's great to see the vision come to life, while we get meaningful shonen style power creep that never escapes the rules and flavor of the story. It's just such a blast and I can't wait to read more.

Mucho por hoy.
Acabó la batalla, los paneles saturados de imágenes y partes de elementos mecánicos.

Lo mejor: el final, esos cuadros con los seis caminando y divirtiéndose; la entrada en juego de la gran yokai y el aviso de una gran guerra que se aproxima.

[Momo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the battles in this one, it was a great end to this arc and it looks like another interesting character is going to appear.

[Anna Quilter · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Alien Invasion arc concludes.
A testicle is found.
social awkwardness between Momo and Okarun.

[MargReadsManga · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art in this series is just top notch! Love the moments when the whole group is together. 🥰

[Mersi · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG! the best splash pages! new character!!

[MIL · Rating 3 out of 5]

太過標準的熱血少年王道漫畫
越看越沒勁

不過經書友提醒才發現
就算這種傳統王道劇情
格局也比古代小很多
不再關心拯救世界了

[DonutKnow · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think I’m more interested in the yokai than the aliens 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[Chris Gernon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredible story twists in this one, the characters keep being wonderful, and the whole thing wraps up with what is basically a deus ex machina conclusion, but it was so much fun I’m not even mad about it.

[Mohammad Anas · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐

[Alejandro Casanova vázquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cuando digo que este volumen tuvo de todo, es que tuvo de TODO.
