I'ma be that guy, but I wouldn't really care if these two died.
The whole stealing powers thing kinda sucks. Doesn't feel like it's going anywhere, then you got the amnesia arc at the same time.
There's this old ass webcomic I used to read called Goblins.
Basically the author would go on 3-12 month story breaks between key plots, with multiple story lines, so when you actually get back to the original plot it's been so long you don't really care anymore. That's what I feel like is going on right now in Dandadan. To many cooks in the kitchen, to many sluts on the shelf.

I don't really feel anything at this, considering we know they're not just gonna be powerless forever

Subverting expectations is not always a good thing. It just made the previous chapters feel like a waste of time. As has a lot of this arc, to be honest.
I'm not arguing with that, I've lost a lot of interest in this manga lately. But laying the tropes on thick isn't gonna make it any better.

Cool to see hanako I guess. But it really annoys me that they got a big power up and then just lost instantly anyways. What was the point?
Because up until now the “stealing powers” threat has only been theoretical. It’s to show even the main group can lose. Would you have preferred Jiji lose Evil Eye, or Aira lose Acrobatic Silky? And with Rin losing her powers, Mai has disappeared: a sentient external ally unlike Eye or Silky. It’s like the enemy has kidnapped her essentially.

It would probably be more impactful if it was Jiji because he's a character that people actually care about.
Nobody especially cares if these girls lose their powers because they've barely done anything, and they were beaten in a really lame way by what I feel is a dreadfully uninteresting side villain and his c-tier goon squad.

So actually its very trite, The C-team losing to a nobody villain is about as dull and predictable as it gets.

Yeah, but they are just about to be killed. They are negotiating for their own lives.
nothing changed though. they still would have died or worst if not for hanako.
by giving up their powers. they lost all reasons for keeping them alive.

if the girls lose consciousness for example. they are forced to delay and kidnap them to have a second attempt.

page 8 :

- red baron / bacon / moron : lets go , we are in a hurry , ... but you 2 boys can waste 69 minutes , to have some "funs" with the girls .

i must be a psychic , i predicted this event , in the previous chapter 's comments :

"

  • piano girl : after i surrender , will you spare our life-s ? please .
  • red moron : well , after you surrender , we will take your powers , then we will have some "funs" with your bodies , then we will kill you anyway , lol , because we are the bad guys .

"

in this chapter , 2 under-age minor girls are coughing , and their faces and mouths are covered with "the bodily juices" of a male r@per , the kappa .

kappa guy is sitting on the head of an under-age girl , while praying to his god .
the mangaka is insulting priests with tonsure hair-styles , and insulting religions ?

kappa guy thinks he is captain mizuki from onepunchman ?
you guys can search google-images with " captain mizuki thigh crush " , and you will understand .

btw , onepunchman manga is very bad and boring , so i dont recommend it .

actually , in myths , a kappa likes to shove his hand up the butt of a girl , to pull out her shirikodama , lol .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_(folklore)

" ... They are often accused of assaulting humans in water , and removing a mythical organ called the shirikodama , from their victim's butt ... "

i guess the line " i bet this one here has long guts " is the 1st speaking line of pumpkin-diaper guy . i thought he was mute and couldnt speak .

- diaper guy : my name is jack wisp , but you can call me : jack the ripper / jack the $tripper . i like to $trip the clothes of under-age girls , and then rip their guts out , lol .

- readers : who will save the 2 girls ? a main character will save them ?

- mangaka : nah , ANOTHER RANDOM BULL-SH!T will save them . i will introduce ANOTHER brand new character , with no build-up before her appearance : hanako-san / hanako-chan . btw , the manga " Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun " is total trash .

- diaper guy : i want to take a dump .

- me , yeah , no sh!t , sherlock . you have kept farting since you appeared .

- me : hey , is it okay to make this joke ? :

my name is hanako-chan . im a 69-years-old ghost . im haunting this toilet . my nick-name is " nikubenki " . i want to shove my " thingie " up the butts of you 3 male r@pers , so i will use my power to make you empty your butts , to make some rooms for my big fat " thingie " .
