Key Takeaways

• Rokuro Serpo, with psychokinesis and nanoskin, is a powerful ally against Kur.
• Jet Booster Exosuit Kur is a formidable adversary with agile combat skills.
• Mr. Mantis Shrimp, a strong UMA, befriends Momo and Okarun, aiding their cause.

Yukinobu Tatsu’s Dandadan recounts the story of Momo and Okarun as they embark on supernatural misadventures that change the way they view the world. In their enlightening journey, they encounter many bizarre creatures including aliens. While some of these extraterrestrial beings are friendly, others are ruthless, intent on invading and subjugating every lifeform they encounter.

Just like their radically different worldviews and values, these beings also possess unique powers that make them stand out. Some of them use exosuits to subjugate, others use their psychokinesis to fight alongside human beings for the greater good. In this article, we look at aliens in the Dandadan manga and rank them based on their strength.

In his ambitious mission, he allied with Momo, Okarun, and their friends who were also victims of the Kur onslaught. Rokuro always possessed psychokinesis, but he eventually got Ludris’ nanoskin which transformed him into an effective fighter. The nanoskin could be restructured into weapons or shields depending on Rokuro’s requirements, allowing him to adapt to any combat situation.

The tragic circumstances forced him to work for the Serpos, who left no stone unturned to exploit him. Luckily, working for them helped him eventually become friends with Okarun and Momo, as his life took a turn for the better.

Mr. Mantis Shrimp is extremely strong and he single-handedly defeated the Mantis Exosuit Kur in the Space Globalists arc. He is also capable of taking a beating, withstanding dangerous attacks that would otherwise incapacitate most other beings.
