Finally done with this arc! I will say that though Jiji/Evil-Eye is the most annoying character and arc of the series, I did appreciate how much the anime elevated the story and specifically the romance.

Amazing ep

Fight was bit weaker than I remember, didn’t really expect anything too insane but the finisher was serviceable.

Lmao, this fight reminded me of the gohan and buu staredown.

Nice weenie !

Cute lil momokarun moment again.

Ik Mr. Ludris mad asl and Mr. Shrimp stay lying 🤣

I just knew his parents were goofy asl.

Evil eye funny asl as well. Daily 5-10 year old activity.

Ep got better as time passed, tho I was as abt to rate it a 9.5 in the beginning.

This ep adapted ch 61-63, and half of the first page of ch 64. Ep was rough, but it works.

I liked this ep just I wonder why anyone in school didn't question about jiji's new look like full emo(?) make up and a third eye maybe. Like can someone find it wierd and scary. Other than that i really enjoy so far.
Ah also... We're going back to main plot "the golden balls" which is probably even okarun had forgotten.

This was a reallyyy fun episode. That opening fight scene was sick with a really dope new form from Okarun, Evil Eye actually cooperating was hilarious, 'nice cheem' also great, and just overall a really good blend of action, character development and many sweet fun moments like Evil Eye going to school or Minecraft Guy Ludris was great. Really excited to finally meet that new guy cus he looks dope

Kinda forgot that fight was less than two minutes long, but yeah, it really was lol. I expected better animation wise, but the AD did pretty well. Considering how messed up this show’s schedule is, that’s impressive, so I’ll give them a pass. In true Dandadan style though, big fight one moment, then laid-back slice-of-life the next.

Granny really acted like an elder this time. She’s always felt a bit underappreciated, so it was nice seeing everyone step in to help. Evil Eye was hilarious, just tossing his chopsticks and eating with his hands. And now out of nowhere, the golden ball is back. Took long enough, but we’re returning to the origins, this is gonna be a ride.

And holy shit... he’s here. KINTA IS HERE.

I was curious how the fight with Jiji would end since it didn't seem likely that Okarun would have gotten so powerful in such a short amount of time, but managing to trick(?) evil eye wasn't what I expected.
Always nice seeing the mantis shrimp again, and with the help at least Seiko and Ayase won't have to sleep in a broken building any more.
Honestly expected evil eye to be a bit more chaotic at school, but it looks like Okarun has really been able to contain his behaviour.

Great episode but if I'm being honestly, there's literally no way Okarun should've been beating Evil Eye. Dude has barely trained since his last fight with him and it was specifically stated that Evil Eye was getting stronger. I know Okarun would've eventually lost if he didn't talk to him but the fight felt way too one-sided. Secondly, when did Evil Eye ever imply that killing humans was the same thing as playing? He has a hatred for them and wanted revenge, so the story twisting it to make his cooperation make sense is weird to me. Also, I did enjoy the ending scenes with Momo and Jiji and hope we get more because I feel like they know how to match each other's energy within their friendship. I hope Jiji learns to fully control Evil Eye so he doesn't have to rely on hot water all the time. Lasty, Seiko saying "nice weenie" when Jiji was naked was comedy

Nobody:
Seiko for absolutely no reason:


The fight between Okarun and Evil Eye was brief but incredibly intense. Although he managed to neutralize him psychologically and they now agreed to fight occasionally instead of him wanting to destroy humanity, Okarun wasn't lying when he said he was stronger. It was difficult before, but they defeated him in the haunted house, and this time, after training, they left Evil Eye bloodied, while Okarun didn't have a single scratch.

I guess Ludris is a reference to Steve from Minecraft: his outfit and nanotechnology definitely give that impression. Anyway, they manage to rebuild the house, and this was also a script excuse to destroy the house over and over again without worrying about rebuilding it.

I'm not sure if they explained it, but I remember hearing that when Jiji transforms into Evil Eye, or when Okarun did, people who don't perceive spiritual energy or who have already been possessed still see them as normal humans. So... how do demons see Turbo Granny? As a normal cat? Or as a cat statue?

Problem is that Okarun rarely trained so him getting this big of a power boost doesn't make sense imo.

This episode remind me why Okarun might be one of the best male lead characters in modern anime and manga. Our guy, in a pretty Clark Kent manner, just saw a kid who needed to be treated as such and went for it, saving everyone's lives in the process. Thats why i love him.

Final chapter of Jiji exorcism arc. Right off the bat episode goes full throttle action: explosive animation, style switches and a raving breakbeat ost. Okarun takes advantage of Evil Eye's childish nature to tame its wild nature. All seems good if we don't count the fact that their duel turned Grandma's house into rubble. Good news - shrimp brought Roblox shaped alien to rebuild it from scratch. Memory- absorbing nanoblocks is one of the coolest ideas integrated in the show. The rest of the runtime plot pulls out of those classic "fish out of water" gimmicks by throwing demonic Evil Eye in the school. Episode ends with rumours about Okarun's golden ball, reminding us about primary goal for the next adventure.

Man, so many episodes have happened in this arc that I had completely forgotten about the golden balls. Evil Eye is probably funnier than normal Jiji, more so now that his murdering intent has calmed down. We need to see him playing actual football now. Also, the fight was pretty good and the Minecraft parody character was a bit whatever I guess.

this episode was very good but there are some minus, the animation is definitely lacking this episode, the episode start with a fight which is amazing especially the part where okarun goes cold that was sick and better than the manga it feels intimidating, but after the fight the animation start to show that it's lacking a lot of slide show moment and in the background we see the other character and they're face are not moving, all we see is okarun moving his mouth and the other thing that annoys me is the fact that they hide the transformation of the character, they hide aira's transformation with sliding from normal aira to okarun slide again to aira, already transform and slide back to okarun, and slide again to aira already back to normal, you could've at least show it like in the manga where they show aira was trying to transform and the next panel was aira turning back to normal, and the most obvius is of course jiji's transformation they're not even trying to hide it with jiji, it was just a woosh effect transition too, and the most annoying thing in this episode and the episode lately is the inconsistency in character design, why was momo eye color become red in some scene i know momo's eye is a bit reddish but not fully red either man, and jiji too why does in some scene jiji's eye color is orange jiji's eye color is also only partly orange not fully, the character also feels so stiff, and if i have to complain more probably where they were fixing the house and we see everyone working on the house they just color the manga panel and do a little slideshow to show the whole thing that was lazy even though that was a beautiful panel in the manga i expected more from the anime other than slideshow, overall this episode is really a downgrade in quality compared to the first 3 episode of the season and season 1, but I'm still exited for the next episode because the goat kingta is here man the goat can't wat for him to make THE GREAT KINTA

@Special77 Normal people don't see the yokai form, just like when Okarun piggybacks Momo in season 1 on the street, all people saw was a teenager carrying another teenager and runs very fast

The comment that defines all the series:



Aira: HELL NO!!! HE'S MINE!!! (like Hori in Horimiya)



Seiko's appreciation pic:



I was wondering: "Hey, what happened to that 2nd ball?". It will be odd to be around with just one, right? Well, answered:

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Surprised the fight was as short as it was but they went all out for it regardless. Okarun displayed the ultimate big brain move, making it so Evil Eye was no longer a threat without needing to exorcise him or defeat him completely.

BR aqui.
Esperava muito mais, o gancho do último episódio me iludiu muito. Não sou leitor do mangá, então não tinha ideia de que a luta seria tão curta. Achei que a animação ficou devendo também, era pra esse episódio ser o ápice da temporada, certo?
Achei bem ok esse episódio, um pouco decepcionante.

Loved the episode! The fight between Ken and Jin was great, and the promise Ken made Evil Eye keep was honestly a really smart move. I’m also glad to see that Evil Eye has been sticking to it so far without hurting a single human, I love that! He was also hilariously adorable, like a newborn baby, haha.

Evil Eye aside, I’m glad we finally found Ken’s missing ball, apparently in front of a housing complex, whatever that means. I’m not too sure, but if Momo recognizes the place, she should tell Ken right away so they can go retrieve his ball as quickly as possible! Super excited!

Ken’s ball aside, I loved the post-credit scene with the guy who’s been super hyped up by the fandom. He was talking to Ken while being completely ignored, which was hilarious. Is he finally going to make his actual debut in the upcoming episode? If so, I’m really excited, I just hope he doesn’t disappoint.

The battle with Evil Eye didn’t last quite as long as I expected, but it definitely packed a lot of punch despite the shortness. And uh… wow Ken really did just bait Evil Eye into behaving lol, I thought it was a little underwhelming at first but when you look at the fact Evil Eye is the spirit of a little kid and is essentially a “newborn baby”, it makes sense that this would work, they basically showed him something so fun that he won’t get fulfillment from anything else. But if this was already kinda goofy, the pure shenanigans that occurred at the school near the end of this episode was supreme goofiness, to think the Evil Eye that Ken faced back in the worm arc would eventually do stuff like this lol, but I kinda love it at the same time, it’s very Dandadan if that makes sense, also weirdly enough seeing Evil Eye wearing clothes feels cursed lol.

Evil Eye stuff aside, there were some other good bits in this episode, like the blatant Minecraft reference part, I recognized the Steve colors on that weird alien guy immediately, the running gag of him being constantly pissed off was good too. It was also just nice seeing Seiko get paid back after all she’s done for everyone, she kept denying it but eventually had to give in, that was a deserved nap on her part. Also another nice Momo and Ken moment in this one, Aira blew it wide open when she realized what was going on but Momo being all cute was a delight.

The battle between Okarun and Evil Eye was amazing, with an intense clash of attacks and stunning visual effects.
The remainder of the fight felt calmer, yet carried a subtle sense of sadness among everyone because Grandma Seiko’s house was destroyed. But in the end, it was repaired with the nano skin from that mantis shrimp alien.
In the finale, when Evil Eye took over Jiji’s body at school, it was the funniest and most entertaining part.
I could hardly find any flaws in this episode.
