Discussion Post about Chapter 219's Mystery Shield
Honestly I've been meaning to make this post for a while, especially after chapter 226. Back in chapter 219 we see a mystery shield protect both Momo and Okarun here, but no one in the manga itself acknowledged it. Even back then I felt skeptical about whether this was Momo's doing considering she has to specifically concentrate to use her psychokinetic powers, and we later get confirmation that her powers were stolen by a Kozuka knife.
I want this post to hopefully act as a place for people to gather their thoughts on this incident and discuss the various theories.
Personally >!this seems like it's Momo accidently influencing the oni club's shape to become a protective shield since she was connected to it via Okarun. The only arguments I have for why it isn't any other possibilies are tenuous though: If it was Okarun, it would've made sense for him to use it again, and if it was purely Momo without the ogre club, then Tatsu would have to explain the complicated reasons why Momo could get her powers stolen and still possess them. !<
