| Evil Eye is another yokai with a tragic backstory. Years of suffering and witnessing another kid becoming a sacrice as well made him snap. Comparing this episode side by side with the manga, it's a great adaptation. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| My favorite episode in the first 3 (saw it in cinema) |
| Holy shit, that got DARK af right quick... still absolutely brilliant. Beautiful. With perfect BGM that enhances every scene. Now give us scenes where all that is actually enjoyable fanservice too. |

| It's crazy what Evil Eye can do. It also looked hideous even compared to other supernatural entities in this franchise. Loved the soundtrack used for this episode. They made the first few minutes of this episode look as intense as it can be and rest followed. Evil Eyes' powers being able to force people to commit suicide is no joke. All those emotions and ominous feelings just spilled right in the open. Crazy. I imagine this looked even better in theaters than it's on TV. I'm impressed by how much emotions they managed to adapt into this episode from the manga. |

| Great episode. Music went hard as hell on Jiji's transformation. |
| Okarun's mind freak gone out of control only has Jiji to save him, though Turbo Granny's is also in trouble with Momo due to the Mongolian Earthworm's psychic waves forcing people to commit suicide. Realistically, he's the only one who can fight for Okarun, Momo and Turbo Granny getting away in one piece before it succumbs to the Earthworm, and it's a lot of work. Of all the people to save them, it's Evil Eye with its suicide-staring eyes peeking into anyone who has their eyes open, and Jiji is its first victim to see through its lens of a kid that's suffering on his own environment, and young Jiji being led the same way to seeing his own parents be killed by suicide and taken in by the Hito family. But all along, it's Evii Eye who has been helping Jiji remain strong despite its tendency to send people to kill themselves, as much as it is suffering its own share of issues being the kid always housed and not being able to interact with kids of his age. And this is where the genius REALLY steps up to be accounted for to merge with the yokai, though targeting Momo is quite the bad sight since it detects an awful presence around her, it makes quite a soccer match fighting against the Mongolian Earthworm is quite the action alright. Okarun with the defense kick against Evil Eye, this is what Blue Lock in an alternate universe would look alright. |

| Love this episode. When I read the manga I was hoping Evil Eyes' backstory would get a good adaptation, and it did. Saru did so good with the adaptation, even better infact. I knew the backstory was going to be really emotional when this episode was coming but not that emotional, the OST helped so much with it. The part where Evil Eye possessed the kid that was tied up in the chair looked so cool and also really sad at the same time. Jiji in Evil Eye form is really powerful and is definitely someone you should not mess with, stupidly powerful kicks and really powerful punches. No one knows how intense that fight is going to be. I wish Okarun goodluck next episode, hes going to need it. 5/5 |

| While powerful physicially the most insidious of the worms moves was its telepathic waves. So the origin of the demon was a child that was prosecuted by JiJi's clan. That ended up being the one that saves it. Building successive layers over the previous one huh. Jiji the vessels fighting style sure was unique. The transition from that final scene to the ending theme sure was perfect. Looks like the vessels on its own side here. |

| Good episode, this story continues to be great to watch and this arc is very good |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| The callback to all those times Seiko glazed Jiji for being a genius to reinforce why he's the ideal vessel cracked me up. Welcome to the yokai transformation club, Jiji! |
| What a crazy episode. I felt sorry for Evil Eye at first but it was just a dickhead with an ulterior motive all along. I wonder how much of the backstory was true. Probably all of it. But instead of harboring hatred towards just the Kitos, he just hates all humans. Understandable tbh. Seeing your own parents kill themselves is gutwrenching. It's hard knowing that an upbeat guy like Jiji saw something like that. Glad he was able to save his parents before it was too late. Jiji had potential all along? Did making fun of Momo by copying her when he was a kid have an effect?! Bruh. |
| Evil Eye's got one hell of a story, carrying out all sorts of vengeance after being sacrificed by the cult. The ghost soccer ball power is also cool as fuck. With someone as strong as Jiji as host, he just might be unstoppable. Another kickass episode. |

Now that's more like it. Last episode was kinda lackluster but this is what all good about Dandadan.. Jiji looking cool af.. Aura of PSG fans are way too high rn. They can beat everything. This is probably be Ak Sara all over again. They evil eye backstory was too messed up. The absolute low of humanity on full display. I don't blame if he tries to kill everyone. Also maybe he isn't even responsible. He maybe just protecting them from the real culprit the worm. Maybe. Expecting it to bee coperative was too much wishful thinking. Momo getting beat up again. Okarun hopefully be more useful next time. If what I heard is true next one probably be more heartbreaking. |
| Evil Eye have a tragic backstory, and in a moment of freedom of choice, between ALL kids with basic haircuts, he seen the parents die, chooses the kid of the most yee yee ass haircut. If you put that just in that moment he met the descendants of the family that sacrificed him, how would Turbo Granny say "The luck gone somewhere else.", to get that haircut. You would think Momo would had somekind of psychic resistance. But we need to lower the plot armor so Jiji can transform/possessed. Last minutes of the episode, Inazuma Eleven. |

| Jiji, son, do not trust a murderous mind controlling yokai named Evil Eye. Not going to turn out well. |

| To be honest, Evil Eye's backstory is actually more tragic than Acrobatic Silky's, but to me, the show couldn't portray it as tragically as Acrobatic Silky's one. |
| damn jiji is that guy huh! bro be playing football with spirit ball and crushing the sand worm with it. Lmao momo is a tank on other hand that's not fkn human |
 |
| Pretty good episode. The Evil Eye's backstory was pretty damn good. I felt it didn't hit as hard as Silky's, but it's fine. The Evil Eye has the power of impact frames. |

| I still don't fw this anime but I will admit this episode was much better compared to previous ones. |
| Evil Eye's rainbow earrings are pretty sick. |
| Man this episode had more plot holes in it than a Michigan highway has potholes in March. So much that didn't make any sense at all. I hope the writing gets back to the level of season 1, and this doesn't end up going the flashy trash route. We don't need another Demon Slayer. |

| Another great episode, and they did a great job adapting the Evil Eye backstory. That last shot with Okarun coming back to intercept Evil Eye's attack was hype! |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
