Feeling Kinda Fuzzy (なんかモヤモヤするじゃんよ Nanka Moyamoya Suru Jan yo?) is the two hundred and fourteenth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
While sitting together, Momo asks Okarun for his name. He insists on using his nickname, refusing to reveal his real name, explaining that she disliked it in the past and would probably dislike it again. When she asks about the origin of "Okarun", he explains it reflects his interest in the occult. During a brief silence, Okarun reflects on how distant he feels from Momo despite sitting beside her, feeling disheartened that she has forgotten everything they have been through together. Momo then asks Okarun what kind of occult interests him, to which he replies that it pertains to aliens. He detects a hint of skepticism in her response and tells her that he understands that she does not believe in them. Momo responds that belief is a personal choice, a notion Okarun contests. In light of this, Momo challenges Okarun to provide evidence of aliens. Okarun claims that she has already encountered them, alluding to Bamora. Momo accepts Bamora's pretense of being an exchange student from India, while Okarun remarks on her surprising confidence for someone lacking memories. As Momo presses for proof, Okarun decides to take her to meet Bamora, hoping she will unveil her kaiju suit. However, Bamora informs them that her kaiju suit is currently under repair by Mr. Mantis Shrimp. After failing to convince her, Okarun suggests Momo join him after school to meet Mr. Mantis Shrimp at his home. Momo finds his sudden offer to walk her home unusual, but Okarun insists he means no harm and is only seeking proof. Momo misinterprets his intentions, believing he is trying to take advantage of her amnesia by using the occult to seduce her. Okarun denies this and proposes introducing her to Kinta, who can show her his nanoskin as evidence of alien existence. When they meet, Kinta tries to claim he and Momo are romantically involved, but Aira and Jiji interrupt, preventing him from spreading falsehoods. As Kinta apologizes for his actions, Aira criticizes him and scolds Momo for doubting Okarun, prompting Momo to comment on Aira's lack of manners. Aira retorts by calling Momo her slave, while Kinta and Jiji argue over who is the best in Super Smash Bros, all which Okarun dismisses. After Momo concludes the History and Culture Research Club is full of untrustworthy individuals, Aira asks Jiji about Seiko, and learns from him that she is still in the hospital in Shimane, facing another surgery and likely staying for another two to three months. He assumes Momo must be very worried and admits they have not been keeping her well informed. Aira then interrupts Momo's reprimand of Okarun and Kinta to showcase her Acrobatic Silky form as evidence. However, Momo fails to perceive her transformation, revealing to her and Jiji that she has lost her spiritual awareness. Momo then inquires if they are finished, and Jiji genuinely apologizes and expresses gratitude for her time. After Momo prepares to have Okarun accompany her, Aira seizes his arm and declares her refusal to let him go. Momo is then taken aback when she hears Aira mention his surname. Aira insists to Okarun that they should have lunch together after preparing bento boxes for each other and is eager to hear his thoughts on them. Having learned his name, Momo reminds him that he previously refused to share it, claiming she wouldn't like it, but finds it to be just an ordinary name, leading her to question whether they are truly friends. Jiji affirms their friendship while Aira asserts that she and Okarun share a much closer bond. Okarun states that they are friends but doesn't have the opportunity to complete his thought as Momo walks away, believing she understands the situation. As she walks away, Momo realizes she is troubled by something, a sensation of being completely excluded, and becomes frustrated, questioning why. Later, Momo encounters Sanjome, who insists on hearing about her concerns.
