He's a Mummy, Isn't He? (あいつミイラじゃね？ Aitsu Miira Jane??) is the two hundred and eighteenth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
Shocked to see Okarun stabbed by Mr. Dris, Momo hurls a traffic cone at the mummy and leaps toward Okarun, which helps him to duck from the next strike. Okarun tells her to leave him behind, but when she refuses, he instructs her to lower herself and hold onto him to avoid falling. Realizing that Momo has practiced ki since childhood, Okarun asks her to reenact her ritual, believing she may be more capable of wielding the Oni Club than he is. After blocking Mr. Dris' next sword strike, Okarun hands the Oni Club to Momo. Though she fails to activate its batting form, Okarun is stunned when the weapon grows in size once back in his hands, allowing him to slice Mr. Dris in half as he charges. When the club shrinks again, Okarun asks Momo to repeat her ki spell. As the Oni Club expands once more, he realizes her ki is flowing into him and into the weapon through their contact. While this gives them a fighting chance, Okarun worries about how they can overcome the mummy's regeneration. The battlefield then plunges into darkness, making it difficult for Okarun to track Mr. Dris. After they then hear the sound of his bicycle, Okarun reacts just in time to block another strike from Mr. Dris with the Oni Club. Momo advises him to turn off the weapon's glowing release form, noting it acts like a beacon. After successfully blocking the next attack, Okarun realizes Mr. Dris is using echolocation—relying on the sound of his bicycle to gauge distance, since his mask prevents him from seeing. With this knowledge, Momo devises a plan to counter Mr. Dris' regeneration, intending to use his mummy nature against him. As Mr. Dris lunges again, he falls for Momo's trap: a dummy she created to distract him, giving her the chance to seize one of his bandages. Okarun catches Momo to keep her steady, and together they unravel Mr. Dris' wrappings while singing. Exposed without his bandages, Mr. Dris' mummified skin rapidly decomposes—just as Momo had planned.
