“Thanks for sealing the half-naked jackass!”
There’s a lot of weird shit and even weirder twists in ‘Dan Da Dan’ Season 2 Episode 4, and Momo hauling around the corpse of a dead Mongolian worm around town is the least surprising of them. So many things just didn’t make any sense, but all of it was entertaining as hell!
Quick Recap of Dan Da Dan Season 2 Episode 3
Okarun manages to help Momo escape the Mongolian Death Worm’s lair and reach the surface so that she can find a way to get Okarun and Jiji out. Unfortunately, Jiji is still in the grips of the ‘evil eye’ yokai, so he is intent on murdering his friends. While Okarun gets busy defeating the evil, muscular version of Jiji, Momo figures out a way to lure the creepy worm outside into the sunlight, which causes its death. The episode ends with the worm throwing up the members of the Kito family in its dying moments, you know, the creepy family that tried to sacrifice Momo, Okarun, and Jiji to their ‘snake’ deity, but ended up becoming its food. The cultist family had been performing human sacrifices for generations due to a mythical belief that it will keep their town is safe from a volcanic eruption. But the episode ends with the volcano erupting!
Dan Da Dan Season 2 Episode 4
Titled “That’s Like, Way, Deadly,” episode 4 of the anime focuses on Momo’s efforts to stop the volcano’s magma from destroying the entire town. However, the creepy Kito family, regurgitated from the worm’s body, try to stop her, convinced that sacrificing Momo will save their hometown. Yes, everybody is insane, but this is Dan Da Dan, where teens can stop volcanic magma if they really put their mind to it.
Listen, this episode was downright bizarre, hilarious, and wildly entertaining, packed with surprise appearances that’ll make any fan’s day. Even the “boo-tuber” priest from the town temple joins the chaos. And somehow, that’s one the more sensible parts of the volcanic-level mayhem erupting in this chapter of ‘Dan Da Dan‘. Actually strike that. Expect some ‘out of the world’ level zaniness from this chapter!
I almost died laughing when the old lady of the Kita family exclaimed ‘Jennifer Lopez! Anaconda!’ while going into attack mode. Seems like that’s her catchphrase, because she says it in the first episode of Season 2 too, which was funny AF. So while the creepy weirdos chase Momo, she is joined by unexpected allies to control the massive mess they’re all in.
Saying anything more would dive straight into spoiler territory, so just go watch it for the crazy moments, killer background music, and over-the-top fights.
