Dandadan features several powerful yokais, so what makes Turbo Granny so special?
Dandadan Episode 3 is going to be incredibly exciting, as the turbo granny has now fully manifested, and, as seen in the preview, Momo's grandmother is most likely to make her proper appearance as well.
Turbo Granny Vs Momo's Grandma Could Happen In Dandadan Episode 3
- Turbo Granny Has Taken Over Okarun
- Momo Is Knocked Out
In the previous episode of Dandadan, fans got to see Momo and Okarun’s incredible teamwork as they managed to defeat a giant calamity capable of squashing them to bits. It was largely down to Momo that this battle was won, and even though Okarun managed to awaken his latent powers, thanks to Momo, it wasn't anywhere near enough to actually make a massive difference in the battle. Still, fans now know that Okarun has a lot of potential and that if he continues to train and gain control over the powers that he has, he will be very strong. That said, Momo's involvement at the moment is incredibly important. Without her, he cannot maintain a grip over Turbo Granny and she ends up taking over his body as a whole. After Momo passed out following exhaustion, the Turbo Granny was seen fully manifesting in the previous episode.
Ayase-san…wake up! – Okarun
Dandadan Episode 3 is going to focus on that and much more. In front of the Turbo Granny is Momo right now, which means that the target is most likely going to be her. For Okarun, this is the worst nightmare as he wouldn't want to hurt his savior at any cost. However, now, she's unconscious and it's essentially an open prey for the Turbo Granny. As such, there is nothing that Okarun can do right now to save her. However, fans who watched the preview of Dandadan episode 3 know that an intriguing character is going to come to the rescue of Momo Ayase.
This character is going to be none other than her own grandmother. Momo’s grandmother was first mentioned in the story in the very first episode. Momo mentioned that her grandmother has incredible psychic powers and she knows all about ghosts. Fans knew that she was going to be some sort of a legendary character, and this is going to be her opportunity to showcase what she is truly capable of doing. The fact that the previous episode kept building her up means that it is definitely time for her introduction and the woman that fans saw in the preview is most likely her.
Given that she is incredibly skilled and, at the same time, one of the most powerful psychics around, fans can expect Momo's grandmother to somehow contain Turbo Granny. Whether or not she can defeat the Turbo Granny for good remains to be seen. However, what fans can say for sure is that she's going to save her granddaughter without much trouble and most likely bring Okarun back as well. Things are definitely not going to be easy for her when dealing with the Turbo Granny, given that she is a legendary ghost, but, at the same time, fans know that her expert control over her psychic abilities is going to be great enough to see her hold her own.
A New Training Could Begin For Both Momo And Okarun In Dandadan Episode 3
Okarun Needs To Get Stronger
Dandadan episode 3 is most likely also going to focus on a training Arc for Momo and Okarun. This is simply because as things are, they are way too weak to actually fight any of the ghosts and aliens, let alone focus on beating the Turbo Granny.
In the previous episode, the shortcomings of these characters were clear. While Momo is somewhat capable of handling things on her own, Okarun is absolutely pathetic as things are. He cannot maintain his powers even when Momo has a grip on them, because he lacks stamina. At the same time, he also lacks strength, and just about everything else that he needs to fight these enemies properly.

Dandadan: Okarun's Turbo Granny Form, Explained
Okarun's Turbo Granny form is a manifestation of the series' core themes, illustrating the series' capacity to merge different genres into a whole.
Meanwhile, Momo has recently awakened her psychic powers, but she isn't as good at controlling them either. Thankfully for her, the best person she could have asked for is a member of her family who will train her to improve her control over these arts. As such, Okarun could be looking at some physical training so that he can maintain his powers for longer than what fans saw in episode 2, while Momo trains her mental fortitude. Things are going to be incredibly exciting in the upcoming Dandadan episode 3, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see how the anime elevates the manga this week.
The Battle To Beat The Turbo Granny Is Hard
The Turbo Granny Will Continue To Persist In Dandadan Episode 3
So far, Dandadan has made it quite clear that the Turbo Granny is going to be a very important driver of the plot. Okarun's entire struggle right now is to get his thingy back from the Turbo Granny. This is not going to be an easy quest and will most likely not be solved in just the next few episodes. In order for him to actually pull this off, Okarun will have to endure for a long time. Even if the Turbo Granny is defeated in episode 3 by Momo's grandma, fans do not expect Okarun to get his thingy back. At the same time, fans know that Okarun will need to train incredibly hard if he is ever hoping to fulfill his goal, and that means a long and grueling battle is on the way. The Turbo Granny seems like an enemy that could be taken out at the end of a major arc, and right now, there is no indication that she's going to fall.
That said, the quest that Okarun has in front of him to retrieve his thingy is going to be incredibly exciting, and will see him fight many powerful ghosts and aliens, and at the same time, grow in terms of strength, and as a character as well. Fans absolutely cannot wait to see what direction this character takes, with Dandadan Episode 3 likely being a great contributor in this department. At the same time, fans also expect Momo to be the shining star of the episode yet again, and right now, she is quite easily the best character in the show. Hopefully, more of that be delivered in episode 3.
