Decoding the Diverse Abilities of Momo Ayase: The Essence of a Powerful Spiritual Conduit
Dora NaletilićShare
Dandadan introduced us to remarkable and intricate characters that pleasantly surprise us with every new chapter of the popular manga series. Momo Ayase is the main character of the series, and besides her complex characterization, her abilities are also an important asset to the group. What are the abilities Momo handles so well?
Exceptional Durability and Strength
Besides her 'sunny' personality, Momo Ayase is also very durable and skillful in every fight, especially for a human. For example, in the beginning of the series, Momo showcases incredible durability. After the Flatwoods Monster threw a barrage of punches that were potentially devastating for most people, Momo was able to recover and move quite quickly during the fight. Acrobatic Silky is another yokai that has beaten Momo to a pulp, but even that wasn't enough for enemies to threaten the psychic.
Momo's durability is what carries the 'family' throughout the Dandadan manga series, where she constantly showcases her skills and incredible durability that comes in more forms than one—her mental state is unmatched, maybe only by Okarun. Strength, in this case, includes stamina and endurance, and Momo has plenty of it. After taking the beating from the enemy, Momo still manages to use her power and overcome her opponent, making her, bar Okarun, one of the strongest members of the group.

Great Spirituality
Spirituality is something that is instilled in the Ayase family, but it feels like Momo really took and learned a lot from her grandmother, Seiko. The older Ayase is known as a very skillful spirit medium, but it feels like Momo is the one who could pass her mother figure. Of course, to use her spiritual power, Momo needs to tap into her ki, which activates her abilities. Momo becomes a 'sensor type' with which she detects the auras of living and non-living creatures around her.
Of course, her spirituality automatically connects her psychokinesis power, which, on Momo's best day, is unmatched in the great scheme of things.
Incredible Psychic Abilities
Momo's psychic powers activated during the Serpo Arc, when she was abducted and almost tortured by the alien monsters. Seiko thought her grandmother well, if we look at the way her granddaughter defeated the disgusting monsters. Nevertheless, Momo uses her psychic powers to exert her influence over them to control the movement of living and non-living beings. Her power manifests as two large hands that are expendable and can latch onto anything—material or non-material. She uses that power to manipulate auras, or rather, stifle them, like we saw it in the very beginning of Dandadan and the most recent chapter of the manga series.
This power is what truly separates Momo from the rest of her friends—she can manipulate everything on the site and lift incredibly heavy objects to move or throw at her enemies. Combining that with previously mentioned powers, Momo Ayase is truly a powerhouse that only very few can follow and even match in the Dandadan universe.
Conclusion: A Great Asset to Any Battle
This might be a Momo Ayase appreciation blog post, but she certainly deserves it, especially for what she's currently experiencing in the manga series. She's reduced to being fairy-sized and it seems that everything's going against her. But in spite of that, Momo is still showcasing her incredible power that is barely matched by anyone and her important part of the 'family' group. Momo is the glue that keeps the group alive but also an incredible asset to every great battle against aliens and evil spirits.
