The Power of Nessie (ネッシーの力 Nesshī no Chikara?) is the eighty-fifth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
As instructed by the Serpo, Momo targets the mind-control alien to pull it off the ceiling with her psychic powers. However, her attempt fails as the alien overpowers her grasp on its body. The Serpo informs Momo that it is impossible to drag the alien into their dimension and that she must use her powers to attack it directly. Despite this instruction, Momo points out that she has no way of using her psychic powers to perform an offensive attack and ends up being flung around the room by the mind-control alien's tentacle. As this is happening, more of the Serpo become mind-controlled to reduce the numbers of the Serpo that have been unaltered. Momo, in her mind, becomes conflicted on how she is unable to fight back without Okarun and finds herself starting to blackout as she takes on more damage. After receiving a memory of Miko criticizing her on her poor performance while pouring tea, Momo remembers all the way back to her childhood to when Seiko instructed her to use the power of words to alter reality by practicing on kicking a sandbag. After failing to do so, Seiko asks Momo as to what she believes to be the most powerful creature in the world. After Momo answers Nessie, Seiko decides to give this name to her bat and uses it to demonstrate on the sandbag on how to properly use the power of words, resulting in it being sent bouncing off of the house. Along with this memory, Momo recalls having to do the Moe Moe Tri-Beam with her friends, which results in her awakening. With all the Serpos defeated and mind-controlled, Momo becomes the only target for them to attack as she is hanging by the mind-controlled alien's tentacles. However, after forming a heart-shape with her hands, Momo fires off a psychic blast that pushes back the mind-controlled Serpos. Momo is then called out by the last remaining Serpo to target the mind-control alien and fires off another blast while shouting "Moe Moe Tri-Beam", resulting in the alien's body being shattered.
