Aliens (宇宙人, Uchūjin^?) is a term that refers to the various extraterrestrial beings existing in outer space (excluding humans inhabiting the planet Earth). It is also a classification for beings who have entered a foreign planet. According to Rokuro Serpo, there are approximately 666 known alien species within the galactic system.

They act as one of the central antagonists in Dandadan, along with yokai.

Overview

While the various races of aliens within the galactic system have made themselves known amongst each other, humanity remains the only known species who are foreign to their existence, with only a few humans who believe that they are real based off a series of conspiracy theories. Three reasons for this are the occurrences of Empty Space, a dimension casted by aliens that conceals their activity to humans, with the exception of those who are spiritually aware, aliens choosing to keep extra-terrestrial life a secret by blending in with their kind using disguises and huge cover-ups mandated by the government, as seen for the Daija Town Incident for example.

Aliens are technologically more advanced than what humans are capable of achieving, such as possessing spaceships, teleportation devices, and nanoskin.

Sumerians

The Sumerians.

The Sumerians (シュメール人, Shumēru Hito^?) are a race native to Planet Sumer who heavily resemble the human race on Earth, with their sole unique feature being antennas adorning their heads. After Sumer was invaded by the Kur, the Sumerians ended up being on the verge of extinction, with Bamora being the sole surviving child of the race.

Jet Booster Exosuit Kur's Species

Main article: Jet Booster Exosuit Kur

The Jet Booster Exosuit Kur and her husband on their planet.

They heavily resemble the human race on Earth, with their sole unique feature being their pointy ears. Her species was presumably wiped out when the Kur invaded the planet, forcing her to join their army for survival and she sought to climb the ranks and reach the Emperor, assassinating him and thus avenging her husband and species.

Theories

Because the Flatwoods monster activated the chime for evil spirits, Okarun stated that studies revealed a likelihood of spiritually sensitive people also seeing UFOs, meaning spirits and aliens have some points in common. Since the Flatwoods monster got lit on fire, it might mean it appeared as a curse similar to Okarun's Turbo Granny curse.

Knowing that they possess highly advanced science and technology, humans have questioned as to why aliens haven't taken the opportunity to invade Earth. Upon his confrontation with the Serpo, who targeted him for his yokai powers, Okarun theorized that aliens are unable to commence an invasion due to the existence of the yokai all over the world who have powers that surpass their science and technology. Since this is supposedly the case, Okarun also believes that aliens seek to capture humans who somehow came in possession of yokai powers and study them to develop the science needed to combat against the yokai themselves.

It is unknown if aliens possess auras other than species being genetically related to humans, such as Sumerians and more specifically, Bamora.
