Momo Ayase’s close friends, Miko and Kei, rarely appear in ‘Dan Da Dan‘, but they take their BFF duties seriously, which includes embarrassing their friend in front of her crush!
Quick recap of Dan Da Dan Season 2 Episode 6: The Hayashi musicians launch into an electrifying performance to aid Granny Seiko in her exorcism ritual, meant to purge the “Evil Eye” yokai from Jiji’s body. But Jiji tearfully begs them not to banish it, insisting it only needs a friend. Surprisingly, Seiko agrees, and Momo, Okarun, and Aira promise to keep an eye on Jiji to ensure the “Evil Eye” doesn’t spiral out of control again. The episode closes on a hilarious note as Okarun, dragged by Miko and Kei to a café, is stunned to find Momo working there, in a maid’s uniform, no less! It’s her new part-time job.
Titled ‘Feeling Kinda Gloomy‘, episode 7 of ‘Dan Da Dan‘ season 2 opens with the hilarious scene of Okarun realizing he’s been tricked by the girls into visiting Momo’s new workplace, resulting in one heck of an embarrassing encounter. Which of-course generates a lot of laughs for both us viewers and the mischievous girls.
While the opening minutes deliver plenty of maid café comedy, the main focus of the episode is Granny Seiko’s attempt to train Jiji to control the Evil Eye, while Aira lazily watches them. The communal atmosphere at Seiko’s house adds a lot of warmth to the story, since all major characters in the show are camping at her place. Manjiro, the “Bootuber” priest, may have been absent during the Hayashi performance, but he’s still around too, and he doesn’t believe it’s wise to let such a powerful spirit remain within Jiji, no matter how talented, dedicated, kind, or strong he may seem.
The second half of this ‘Dan Da Dan’ chapter delivers some tense supernatural moments, as the Evil Eye is unleashed once again. Everyone scrambles to fight the possessed Jiji with their hot water bottles (remember, hot water deactivates the Evil Eye), though this time, it proves a bit trickier than before.
Funnily awkward interactions, mildly romantic moments, teenage bickering, supernatural mayhem, this chapter has a little bit of everything ‘Dan Da Dan‘ is known for. It closes on a spooky cliffhanger, with Okarun heading out late at night with Turbo Granny to train, determined to become strong enough to fight the Evil Eye yokai.
