Warning! Spoilers ahead for Dandadan chapter 42!
The hero Momo Ayase in Dandadan hasn't been able to wield the full extent of her supernatural powers ever since they awakened in the first chapter - and mangaka Yukinobu Tatsu has been taking full advantage of this weakness so effectively that other shonen manga should take notes.
Despite not having reached 50 chapters, Dandadan is already doing laps around more well-established series by how well mangaka Tatsu utilizes the best aspects of comedy and incorporates them into action sequences, which is ubiquitous to shonen. And he just used Momo's limitations in chapter 42 to augment this particular facet of shonen in a tastefully humorous way that simultaneously showcases the mangaka's genius.
As a spirit medium, Momo possesses amazing potential as made clear in the first chapter when her powers awakened before she lost them almost completely. Now, Momo can only manage to conjure hands. Currently, their most important function is to help control the influence and power of the Turbo Granny yokai inside of the hero Ken Takakura aka Okarun. As of chapter 42, Momo, Okarun (and the Evil Eye-possessed Jin "Jiji" Enjoji) are trapped inside the lair of a Harry Potter-esque Basilisk that just released poisonous spores. The only exit lies high above them, and Momo's "hands" can't reach it to escape, so Okarun - in his transformed state - goes on his back with his knees up against his chest, positions a sitting chair with Momo on top of his feet and then kicks her up towards their escape route. Luckily, her "arms" are long enough to grab hold of the surface but are too short to pull her friends up. In desperation, she ties curtains together into a rope to fish them out but that's also not long enough.
Most shonen manga throw away their weaker characters to focus on the powerful main protagonists. This both limits the number of heroes who can fight and the overall possibilities that can result from each battle, causing these series to fall into a slump of repeated fighting sequences and expected outcomes. Dragon Ball is undoubtedly the main culprit leading the charge in this particular regard with Saiyans (especially Goku) always saving the day. Though Dragon Ball Super has attempted to remedy this broken formula, the manga rarely follows through. In My Hero Academia, Deku is so pumped up with all of the quirks that his classmates can't catch up, and Jujutsu Kaisen's Megumi and Yuji are always leading the charge, leaving the sorcerers from both jujutsu schools in the dust. Even Hunter x Hunter falls into this category with Leorio and Kurapika cast aside. Only Black Clover seems to be shattering this trope with Magna Swing and his battle against Dante.
The difference between Black Clover and Dandadan, however, is the comedy in both of these instances that the latter series didn't employ. In Dandadan's case, Momo might be beautiful, but mangaka Tatsu contorts her features to accentuate her over-the-top emotions. The contrast to how she's normally depicted is what helps propel this critical moment forward. This pattern continues later on as she thrusts her curtain-linked rope into the pit where her friends are trapped, further adding to the hilarity. These goofy moments can be aggravating to some, especially during serious altercations like the one transpiring in Dandadan, but the overall execution and tone of the series supports these instances, especially since Momo is already such a likable character. These emotional outbursts would have surely been lost if Momo could leverage the full extent of her powers - but, luckily, she can't. Other mangaka need to learn how to use this formula to their benefit without going overboard just like mangaka Yukinobu Tatsu who has found the perfect balance.
