Dandadan Season 2 Episode 1 Recap: The Evil Eye
Episode 2, titled The Evil Eye, was one of the most emotionally charged to this point. It picked up directly from the shocking appearance of the Tsuchinoko. He is a psychic deathworm with telepathic abilities that nearly drove Okarun and Momo to take their own lives. As Jiji is immune to its influence, he attempted desperately to rescue his friends.
When all hope seemed lost, a new yokai emerged: the Evil Eye. Turbo Granny warned them not to look into its eyes, as doing so would drive them insane and potentially lead to suicide. The Evil Eye possessed a power similar to the worm’s psychic waves. While they were running for their lives, Jiji accidentally made eye contact with the creature.
Initially, it was presenting itself as a friend, even telling Jiji of its tragic past. Once a young boy who was used as a human sacrifice by the Kito Family, the Evil Eye’s spirit was consumed by anger and sorrow and transformed into a terrifying force.
Jiji, moved by the boy’s misery, promised to play with him, a small act that granted the yokai’s long-lost wish. But peace did not last for long. The Evil Eye took over Jiji’s body and became hostile within moments. Episode 2 ended on a cliffhanger when the possessed Jiji attacked Momo, only to be rescued in time by Okarun in a fierce battle.

Episode 3 will explore the high-stakes battle between Okarun and the Evil Eye-possessed Jiji. As Turbo Granny’s powers face off against the wrath of a vengeful yokai, Momo will need to regroup fast and find a way to separate Jiji from the spirit controlling him.
This episode is expected to wrap up the Dandadan: Evil Eye film adaptation events, so the following will all be new content for anime-only viewers. Momo may also try to lure the Tsuchinoko out into the daylight, where it is most vulnerable, as the emotional conflict between Jiji and the Evil Eye reaches the breaking point.
