How old is Dandadan Seiko?

Dandadan Seiko’s age has not been officially revealed.

However, it is thought that she is at least in her 50s.

The reason for this can be inferred by working backwards from the setting that Momo is a high school student.

Assume that Seiko and Momo’s mothers were both 18 years old when they gave birth.

Grandchild Momo is a high school student, 15-17 years old → Absent Mother is 33-35 years old → Grandmother Hoshiko is 51-53 years old

Also, Seiko’s favorite Japanese variety show, “Shimura Ken’s Bakatonosama,” and the drama in which Okarun exorcises spirits, “Kinpachi Sensei’s Rotten Tangerines,” are shows from the 1980s.

Those who were in their 50s would be in that real-time generation.

So, although Dandadan Seiko’s age has not been officially revealed, it is thought that he is around 50 years old.

Why does Dandadan Hoshiko look so young?

The reason why Dandadan’s Seiko looks so young is currently unknown.

There are three possible reasons for this:

  • Seiko from Dandadan has psychic powers. As the full extent of her powers has not been revealed, it is believed that she is somehow using them to stay young.
  • As for Seiko’s physical appearance, as a medium she trains every day to maintain her stamina.
  • To emphasize the individuality of Seiko from Dandadan. The contrast between her foul-mouthed and carefree personality, yet her strength in battle and her compassion, and her youthful appearance despite being an old woman, has made her popular with fans.

It will be interesting to see whether the reason for Dandadan’s youth will become clear in the future.

Is Dandadan’s Seiko strong?

Seiko from Dandadan is thought to be the strongest of the Dandadan.

And the basis of Seiko’s strength is her abilities as a medium and her knowledge and experience regarding yokai.

Let’s take a closer look at Seiko from Dandadan’s abilities.

What are Dandadan Hoshiko’s abilities?

Dandadan Seiko’s abilities are mainly psychic powers, barrier techniques, and exorcism.

Psychic powers

His first appearance scene is in episode 3 of Dandadan, “An old woman clashes with another old woman.”

He appears on TV programs as a psychic under the name Dodoria Santa.

He can read what others are thinking with his psychic powers.

The conditions for activating this power remain a mystery, so it will be interesting to see if Dodoria Santa appears in the future.

Barrier Technique

This is explained in Dandadan episode 3, “An old woman clashes with another old woman.”

Seiko’s barrier techniques are powered by the god who lives in Jinkoshi city, so she can only be used within the city.

A talisman nail is used to create the barrier.

The scene where Turbo Granny is trapped in the barrier was truly a clash between old ladies.

Exorcism

An exorcism scene is depicted in episode 11 of Dandadan, “Those aren’t rotten mandarins.”

The Turbo Granny who has possessed Okarun is exorcised using a paper fan.

The paper fan is used to expel evil spirits from the body.

Even though Seiko has superhuman abilities, she still uses a lot of physical attacks with bats and paper fans, which adds to the fun of Dandadan’s illustrations.

Dandadan Seiko’s main abilities are psychic powers, barrier techniques, and exorcism.

What is the significance of Dandadan Seiko’s bat’s Nessie power?

The significance of Dandadan Seiko’s bat’s Nessie powers is unclear.

One possibility is that these words are used to give Seiko’s ability to give an ordinary bat the power to physically hit youkai.

And Nessie makes an appearance in Dandadan, episode 20, “Here We Go Again.”

Here she has no interaction with Seiko, but the Nessie depicted here is a character with extremely high offensive power.

So, there may be some connection between that offensive power and Nessie’s power in the future.

By the way, Nessie is an unidentified animal that lives in Scotland, UK, and is treated as an UMA.

Hoshiko believes in monsters and ghosts, but not UFOs, so we’re curious as to why she has the power of Nessie and whether it has something to do with the connection between paranormal phenomena and ghosts.
