Just Can't Sleep (寝てられないじゃんよ Neterarenai jan yo?) is the ninety-second chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
After performing poorly in the training simulation, Aira berates Momo, Jiji and Mr. Mantis Shrimp as they try to put on innocent faces in front of her. Starting with Momo, Aira critiques her on her Moe Moe Tri-Beam, telling her that the range is too short and how it causes her to no longer use her power from being drained of energy. Momo attempts to redeem herself being performing the technique again but ends up failing, much to her disappointment. Aira then critiques Jiji, telling him that his Ha Wave causes no damage to the enemy, much to his shock to hear. Lastly, Aira tells Mr. Mantis Shrimp that his punches mean nothing if he won't allow himself to get close to his opponent, which he agrees. With the poor results, Aira tells them that they are nowhere near ready to face the enemy and must use the time they have wisely. The three then comply with Aira.
Momo uses the home telephone to call the place Seiko is staying at to try and get in contact with her but learns that she hasn't returned, causing her to wonder where she went off to. She then becomes shocked to learn that it is almost ten, the time Reiko Kashima is supposed to show up, and walks out of the house where she meets with Mr. Mantis Shrimp who prepares to leave for home using the mobile Ayase house.
During the night, Momo shifts locations after finding herself unable to sleep with the sound of the walls banging. Jiji finds Momo and hears her situation. Momo tells Jiji that he should get back to sleep so that he could heal. Using his ki gathered in his hands, Jiji covers Momo's ears to help her block off the sound so that she would be able to fall asleep. Momo becomes impressed by this but embarrassingly tells Jiji that she can't fall asleep with him seeing her sleeping face. Jiji decides to solve this problem by moving behind her and tells her to sleep while he stays awake until morning. He then interprets his action as a kind of training. Momo compliments Jiji on how even though he kids around he is able to accomplish anything. Hearing this, Jiji tells her that he can't talk to her normally if he doesn't act this way and tries to focus on what he is doing after becoming flustered from peeking at her sleeping.
By morning, Okarun wakes up wondering where he is and reacts in shocked to see his body resting, causing him to believe that he is dead. He then tries to find Momo to see if she can help him. Upon finding her, Okarun looks to see her sleeping with Jiji.
