Momo's Psychic Power

Her powers were unlocked during an alien abduction.

Momo Ayase is a psychic who manifested her powers while being abducted by an alien race known as the Serpoian. Momo's grandmother, Seiko Ayase, secretly taught her how to unlock her powers since Young age But the training was cut short because she felt embarrassed when her classmates and crushes teased her for the funny moves she had to do. Luckily, the lessons Seiko taught Momo got back to her in time during the kidnapping. Break her free, help Okarun and escape the falling UFO.

Serpoian, on the other hand, suspected her brainwaves were overstimulated. This caused her chakra to open. No matter what really stimulated her power. They've arrived. And she'll need it when confronting aliens. evil spirits and everything in between

Momo describes how her powers work in Dandadan episode 3, “The Battle Between Grandma and Grandma!” According to her, she can see or sense auras within living and non-living things. Then used her hands to “grab” those auras even from a distance. After that, she can squeeze, lift, push, and pull them as if she were interacting with them with her hands.

Defeat Turbo Granny with little effort.

It seems that Momo was able to prevent Turbo Granny from taking over Okarun's mind and body indefinitely. It seemed that all the suppression required was to keep the open hand facing Okarun and there was a continuous line of sight between them. The suppression only limits Momo in the sense that she cannot use her hands for anything else. In episode 2, “Those Are Space Aliens, Right!”, she is still able to fight off the giant Flatwoods monster with one hand. This means that controlling Turbo Granny doesn't drain her much of her stamina or energy.

Gwen Tennyson/Ms. Marvel Light Hand

Momo's telekinesis is mostly seen as a giant green glowing hand. which is similar to Gwen Tenyon's magic in ben 10 or Ms. Marvel's powers in MCU– With her psychic powers Momo can move heavy objects such as fire trucks and Turbo Granny fused with Earthbound Spirit Crab.

Power has its drawbacks, though. This is because Momo must use her hands directly to show what the psychic hands do. The actions she can take are limited to what her hands can do. Additionally, as seen later in the manga, Momo's mental hand control is weakened when her hands are restricted, such as when they are tied together.

increased durability

Although not flashy But this power was probably what kept her most alive during the fierce battles. Whether her body became stronger after unlocking her powers or her psychic abilities were protecting her, Momo was able to tank a powerful attack that would instantly knock out a normal person.

Her durability comes into play in episode 2 during her fight with the Flatwoods monster, who punches her into a wall multiple times. The attack was strong enough to create a crater in the wall large enough for both Momo and Ogarun to enter. But Momo remains conscious and is able to use her powers throughout.

looking into memories

This power has not yet been shown in the anime in episode 4, “Kicking Turbo Granny's Ass,” but in the manga, Momo is able to dive into her target's memories from time to time. Although in every case Momo could only do this by accident. Therefore, it is unknown if she can consciously view the memories of anyone she wants.

Momo's hidden potential

Episode 1 teases how strong Momo is.

Having the power to suppress evil spirits indefinitely and create giant glowing hands is very cool. But Momo's true power has yet to be revealed. She had been in this state for quite some time. Dandadan Episode 1 “That's Where Love Begins, You Know!” While fighting the Serpoians and eliminating Turbo Granny from Okarun.

Momo creates a green aura. And her hair looked longer in this awakened state. It seems like she is destroying reality. It's similar to the effect during the fight between Broly and Gogeta in it. Dragon Ball Super: Broly movies.

It was much more amazing when the power awakened within me. That's when everything I had imagined became reality. It's as if I'm invincible!

While in this form She can float and is strong enough to send Serpoian flying with a kick. causing it to crash inside the UFO and cause severe damage to the UFO, said Little is known about this form as it is rarely seen. But you can be sure that it gives Momo even more power than it should be considered. Seiko hints that Momo can eventually reach that state naturally through training.
