Motivation (やる気 Yaruki?) is the ninety-sixth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
After coming under attack by the suited aliens who anticipated their arrival, Aira and Mr. Mantis Shrimp confront them directly. While carrying the Serpo, Momo is told by Aira to go on ahead to prevent more spaceships from coming through the gate but finds this to be a challenge since they are outnumbered and can only defeat at least one of them in a three-man team. The Serpo agrees with Aira in that she should continue moving forward or else they will be more at a disadvantage if the enemy's main force arrives. Momo is then warned by Aira that she is about to be targeted by the sniper suit alien but is saved by Jiji who used his ki to attack him. As he and Mr. Mantis Shrimp request for Momo to proceed to the gate, Aira becomes irritated that she as the leader is not taking charge and tells them that they will have to initiate "Plan B", though Momo knows that there is no such plan after Jiji asks. Meanwhile, Okarun becomes confused as to where the Ayase house is after finally arriving at its previous location and moves on to returning back into his body. Though he manages to wake up, Okarun finds himself still in pain, preventing him from wanting to catch up to Momo and the others. However, after he notices a plate of curry set aside for him and a note written by Momo that reads "love ya!", Okarun enters his Turbo Granny form as he eats his food, having become motivated to continue on despite being aware of his bodily injuries.
