The Enigmatic Youth of Seiko Ayase: Unraveling the Secrets Behind Dandadan's Timeless Beauty

The world of Dandadan is filled with various supernatural enigmas, with the most intriguing being the remarkable youthfulness of Seiko Ayase, who is the grandmother of Momo Ayase. This has left many fans questioning the mysterious nature of her appearance amidst the extraordinary events within the series. When Momo first introduced her shaman grandmother, audience expectations likely leaned toward the typical image of a spooky, old lady adorned in peculiar clothing with an unsettling grin.

Yukinobu Tatsu even playfully misled viewers during Seiko's initial reveal, but the moment her true appearance was unveiled, it captivated everyone in disbelief. Could Seiko Ayase’s youthful look bear resemblance to the legendary Tsunade from Naruto? The Transformation Jutsu, a well-known technique in Naruto, allows characters to alter their appearance, sometimes opting for a more suggestive version of themselves. Tsunade has shown a particular knack for this technique, but she applies it uniquely compared to others.

Have you ever pondered how Tsunade maintains her youthful visage in Boruto despite the general aging of her peers? While being in her 60s during Naruto and in her late 60s or early 70s in Boruto, she continues to radiate vigor. The revelation is her consistent use of Transformation Jutsu, enabling her to present a façade many decades younger than her chronological age. Tsunade remains under the effects of Transformation Jutsu throughout her day-to-day activities.

The only instance she reverts to her actual age is when her chakra is nearly depleted, as witnessed in chapter 171 of Naruto. This has led Dandadan enthusiasts to speculate whether Seiko Ayase possesses a comparable secret for her youthful looks. If Seiko Ayase truly is Momo's grandmother, it seems implausible for her to maintain such a youthful appearance without some unusual circumstances, like having had children at a very young age.

While she employs various beauty aids, such as waist and limb compressions, along with skincare routines, one must wonder if these efforts are genuinely sufficient. Fans theorize that Seiko Ayase's enduring beauty may stem from either a method of preserving her powers or drawing strength from a local deity. Alternatively, it could indicate that she is under some form of curse similar to Okarun's, influencing her outward appearance.

Should that curse lift, Seiko Ayase may revert to a more age-appropriate look like Tsunade. Many wonder why Seiko Ayase prioritizes maintaining her youth even when at home. Yet, it is worth noting that she is seldom portrayed alone; she typically has Momo and her growing family of semi-adopted youths, including Okarun, Aira, Mr. Crabs, Bamora, and others, by her side. Dandadan can be explored on Viz Media, and its anime adaptation is currently available to stream on Hulu.
