Dandadanis the home to several supernatural mysteries. But the biggest one of them all is how Seiko Ayase manages to look so young despite being Momo Ayase’s grandmother.

When Momo Ayase first talked about her shaman grandmother, probably every reader/watcher thought about a creepy grandma with stereotypical clothes and a creepy smile. Even Yukinobu Tatsu trolled fans with the first scene of Seiko, but when her face reveal finally happened, it left everyone with a gaping jaw.

Is Seiko Ayase’s Youthful Appearance Similar to that ofNaruto‘s Tsunade?

Transformation Jutsu is one of the primary jutsu shown inNarutoas the protagonist transforms himself into an ecchi version of himself. It can be used to disguise oneself as another person or animate or inanimate object. However, Tsunade uses it for a different purpose altogether.

Have you never wondered how Tsunade always looks so young, even inBoruto, despite all the other characters who seem to have aged?InNaruto, Tsunade is in her 60s, and inBoruto, she is in her late 60s to early 70s, yet she looks as vivacious as ever. The secret is Transformation Jutsu, which she constantly uses to appear decades younger than she actually is.

Tsunade keeps the Transformation Jutsu active no matter what she is doing. The only time she reverts to her original form is when she has completely exhausted her chakra reserve, as she did in chapter 171 ofNaruto. Thus, Dandadan fans have started to wonder if Seiko Ayase has some similar trick up her sleeves.

Is Seiko Ayase’s Young Appearance inDandadana Trick?

If Seiko Ayase is reallyMomo‘s grandmother, then it shouldn’t be physically possible to look so young unless both she and her offspring bore children at a tender age. Of course, she uses a lot of tools like waist compression, arm and thigh compressors, sleeping masks, and a lot of other products for her skin and body, but are they enough?

Fans suspect thatSeiko Ayase’s evergreen beautyis a result of her maintaining her powers or borrowing powers from the God of the land in which she resides. It is also possible that Seiko Ayase hosts a curse inside her, just like Okarun, which contributes to her appearance. Once the curse leaves her body, Seiko Ayase could also end up reverting, just like Tsunade.

Fans have questioned why Seiko Ayase would want to look young even at her home. But seldom has she been shown alone in her home as she is always accompanied by Momo and her growing number of semi-adopted teens like Okarun, Aira, Mr. Crabs, Bamora, etc.

Dandadanis available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Hulu.
