All Alone (ひとりぼっち Hitoribocchi?) is the two hundred and ninth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
After Reptilian is defeated, Momo lands on a patch of grass and realizes that the castle area and surrounding town were not real, but part of the alien's ability as it begins to dissolve. Separated from Bamora, Momo calls out for her, only to remember that Bamora can no longer detect her presence without her kaiju suit functioning. This causes her to worry that Bamora may have run off without her. Standing alone in the road, Momo wonders whether Seiko made it to the hospital and what time it might be. With the full moon present, she realizes that her time has run out. Overcome with emotion, Momo sheds tears, reflecting on her loneliness and expressing her desire to return home with her friends in mind. Her curse then shrinks her further until she disappears from sight. Shortly after, a religious group appears walking the streets to where Momo is currently at. The masked priest states his awareness of Momo's presence, bends down to ask her to climb into a pouch, and reassures her that matters have already been concluded for her two friends. The group then takes her to a shrine, with the masked priest intending to have Momo fulfill her part. Inside, the masked priest places the pouch containing Momo onto a pool of water, receives the Uchide-no-Kozuchi, and gently taps the water with it. This results in Momo returning to her normal size, leading the group members to pull her out of the water and dress her while she is unconscious.
