Quick Recap of Episode 4: The Climax of the Cursed House Arc
Episode 4 was a turning point in the season:
- The Evil Eye launched a relentless assault, overpowering Momo, the priest, and even the Kito family matriarch.
- Seiko arrived aboard Mantis Shrimp’s spaceship with backup and initiated a joint counterattack.
- Using a clever trap involving talismans and Taro’s body, they managed to seal the Evil Eye into a husk.
- Meanwhile, Momo fought through lava and collapsed terrain to rescue Okarun and Turbo Granny, resulting in a powerful reunion scene that gave fans an emotional payoff after the chaos.
What to Expect in Episode 5: Spoilers and Speculation
Episode 5, titled “We Can All Stay There Together!”, offers a welcome breather after the non-stop action:
- Seiko and the priest will attempt to exorcise the Evil Eye from Jiji’s body—but their efforts will likely fail, as the Evil Eye is a powerful mountain yokai. Fortunately, it is still young and not yet at full strength.
Who Is the Evil Eye?
The Evil Eye is revealed to be a mountain-born yokai with incredible spiritual strength. While it is currently immature, it poses an escalating danger. Its connection to Jiji complicates the moral challenge, as Jiji voluntarily bonded with it to keep it from being lonely.
- The group will share a meal together in a rare moment of calm, filled with light-hearted banter and food-related bickering—a trademark of Dandadan’s character-driven comedy.
A quirky but important mechanic is revealed: splashing Jiji with hot water or broth brings him back to normal, while cold triggers the Evil Eye to reemerge. This comedic moment could have serious implications for future exorcism attempts.
- Jiji’s high spiritual energy and athletic build make him the “perfect host” for the Evil Eye—further heightening the difficulty in separating the two without harming Jiji.
Manga vs Anime Pacing: Why Dandadan Feels So Cohesive
Unlike many older anime that relied on filler arcs due to tight manga-airing schedules, Dandadan benefits from being adapted after several manga arcs had already been completed. This gave the team at Science SARU the ability to introduce foreshadowing and nuanced background detail right from the start.
This tight pacing makes Dandadan feel smooth and consistent—there’s no wasted time, and every episode contributes to forward story movement.
Will Dandadan Be Canceled?
Fans have no reason to worry. Despite the competitive anime landscape this season, Dandadan remains one of the top-performing shows across platforms, especially Netflix. The story still has multiple arcs left to explore, and there’s no indication that the series is being rushed toward a conclusion.
If it ends, it will be on the creator’s terms—not because of poor performance.
