Acro-Silky (アクさら Akusara?) is the sixteenth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
After checking her pulse, Okarun confirms that the Turbo Granny was right in that Aira is dead as a result of being an ordinary human who was eaten by a yokai. Despite the Turbo Granny telling them that it was too late to save her, Momo and Okarun try desperately to revive her by massaging her heart, giving her CPR, and calling the ambulance. The two then put up their guard after seeing Acrobatic Silky back on her feet but suddenly hears the yokai wanting to help save Aira by transferring her aura into the girl. Momo tells Acrobatic Silky that she has her doubts about her wanting to help, which leads to Acrobatic Silky ripping out her mouth as proof that she will not try to eat Aira again. While still not convinced, Momo tells Okarun to be on guard in his Turbo Granny form as she goes along with Acrobatic Silky's plan to transfer her aura into Aira using her psychic powers. After beginning the procedure, Momo suddenly peers into Acrobatic Silky's past life to when the yokai was a struggling mother trying to take care of her daughter and ending up committing suicide after having her child taken away from her.
