Strongest aliens in manga

Important takeaways

• Rokuro Serpo, with psychokinesis and nanoskin, is a powerful ally against Kur.
• Jet Booster Exosuit Kur is a formidable opponent with agile combat skills.
• Mr. Mantis Shrimp, a strong UMA, befriends Momo and Okarun and helps their cause.

Yukinobu Tatsu's Dandadan tells the story of Momo and Okarun as they embark on supernatural mishaps that change the way they see the world. On their enlightening journey they encounter many bizarre creatures including aliens. While some of these aliens are friendly, others are ruthless, bent on invading and subjugating every life form they encounter.

Just like their radically different worldviews and values, these creatures also have unique powers that make them stand out. Some of them use exosuits to subdue themselves, others use their psychokinesis to fight alongside humans for the greater good. In this article, we look at aliens in the Dandadan manga and rank them based on their strength.

8 Rokuro Serpo

The Serpoian who fought back against Kuren

• Manga Debut: Chapter 83, titled “At Work”
• Fighting Style: Nanoskin manipulation and psychokinesis

Rokuro Serpo is a Serpoian who became an independent clone after the Kuren began their preliminary attack on Earth. When the militaristic alien race defeated his brothers and stole sensitive data, Rokuro took it upon himself to destroy it. In his ambitious mission, he allied himself with Momo, Okarun and their friends who were also victims of the Kur attack. Rokuro always had psychokinesis, but he eventually gained Ludri's nanoskin which turned him into an effective fighter. The nanoskin can be restructured into weapons or shields depending on Rokuro's requirements, allowing him to adapt to any battle situation.

7 Jet Booster Exosuit Cure

Course most mobile combatant

• Manga Debut: Chapter 79, titled “Who the Hell Is This Person?”
• Fighting Style: Exosuit

One of the main antagonists during the Space Globalists Arc, Jet Booster Exosuit Kur is one of the strongest combatants of his species. As a member of Kurs' advanced unit, he is tasked with joining the preliminary attacks on a planet before the full invasion begins. He uses a bipedal humanoid-type exosuit that is agile and strong. Unlike most of his peers, Jet Booster Exosuit Kur is capable of hand-to-hand combat and has shown incredible reflexes.

6 Mr. Mantis Shrimp

UMA who befriended Momo and Okarun

• Manga Debut: Chapter 20, titled “They're, Like, Back Again”
• Fighting style: Hand-to-Hand combat

Mr. Mantis Shrimp, aka Peeny-Weeny, is a family-oriented UMA who once lived a happily married life until things took a dark turn. When his wife died suddenly and his only son contracted the same disease, he found himself struggling with an unexpected financial crisis. The tragic circumstances forced him to work for Serpos, who left no stone unturned to exploit him. Fortunately, working for them helped him befriend Okarun and Momo, as his life took a turn for the better.

Mr. Mantis Shrimp is extremely strong and he singlehandedly defeated Mantis Exosuit Kur in the Space Globalists arc. He is also capable of taking a beating, resisting dangerous attacks that would otherwise incapacitate most other creatures.

5 Takonoka Ru Patcho Cure

An octopus-like militaristic alien

• Manga Debut: Chapter Chapter 73, titled “Let's Eat Some Takoyaki”
• Fighting Style: Exosuit

Takonoka Ru Patcho Kur is a ruthless alien from the Kur species. An extremely dangerous combatant to fight on the battlefield, he uses a nearly impregnable defensive exosuit. Takonoka Ru Patcho Kur is also capable of firing multiple guided missiles simultaneously. If he misses, he can use his four electricity-emitting floating discs to attack his opponent who tries to engage in melee. However, their main purpose is to create a defensive shield around Takonoka Ru Patcho Kur and protect him from any incoming attacks.

4 Take Koshin Jo Kur

A battle-hardened alien

• Manga Debut: Chapter 73, titled “Let's Eat Some Takoyaki”
• Fighting Style: Exosuit

Ta Koshin Jo Kur, a member of Kur's Advance Unit, is an extraterrestrial alien who plays a crucial role in the preliminary attack on Earth. Although he has never been seen outside of his suit, he presumably shares the same octopus-like physiology as other members of his species. His Ta Koshi Jo exosuit looks like a giant mech and is super heavyweight.

Equipped with large rocket launchers, it allows the Ta Koshin Jo Kur to fight long-range battles without getting in the way. On the battlefield, the member of Kur's Advance Unit boasts a well-balanced offensive strategy with solid defense, making him extremely difficult to take down.

3 Bamora

The Last Sumerian Child

• Manga Debut: Chapter 63, titled “School Life”
• Fighting Style: Exosuit

Bamora is a Sumerian whose planet was invaded by the Kuren and subjugated to further the invading race. From a young age, she was caught up in a ruthless war and survived only because she was saved and then adopted by Banga. She was sent to Earth as her bloodline's last hope equipped with the powerful battle suit, which gave her powers beyond her wildest imagination. Bamora eventually befriended Momo and Okarun, as Earth became her new home.

2 Hastur Kur

A ruthless barbarian hungry for power

• Manga Debut: Chapter 72, titled “Somebody, Please Translate”
• Fighting Style: Exosuit

Hastur Kur is a sadistic and greedy alien from the militaristic alien race called the Kur. As the leader of the Advanced Unit, he often leads some of the most powerful members of the Kur race to launch an invasion of a planet or to subjugate the native population. He downplays his genocidal missions as hunting and feels that his people are superior, further claiming that all other species are lower life forms that deserve to be subjugated. He uses the Hastur exosuit, which has deadly defensive and offensive abilities.

1 Count Saint-Germain

The mysterious alien with dark secrets

• Manga Debut: Chapter 120, titled “Reiko Kashima's Maiden Heart”
• Fighting Style: Swordsmanship

Count Saint-Germain, an alien from the dangerous Kur race, is a power-hungry collector of paranormal artifacts and forbidden knowledge, presumably driven by a desire to amass power. Although he is from another world, his outward appearance is strikingly human and he knows how to fit in without arousing suspicion. His mannerisms are always on point and his stoic demeanor makes him seem like a trustworthy figure.

Count Saint-Germain's greatest ambition in life is to acquire the mysterious Dandadan. In pursuit of his goal, he adopts various strategies and even allies himself with humans if the situation calls for it, showing intelligent but parasitic tendencies. Saint-Germain is an extremely strong combatant who possesses a sixth sense, a mastery of swordsmanship and incredible reflexes. His weapons of choice include katana, yokai power bottles, and power extraction knife.
