A brief recap of Dandadan season 1 episode 1
Dandadan season 2 episode 1, titled "Like, This Is the Legend of the Giant Snake," picks up right where season 1 ended. At the hot spring, Momo is ambushed by creepy Kito family men. She struggles to fight back until a nearby snake statue collapses and knocks out her attacker. Fences crash down on the others, stopping their pursuit.
As Momo catches her breath, she discovers it’s Turbo Granny’s doing, who had sneaked inside her backpack to visit the springs. The Chamber of Commerce members arrive and blame the Kitos for the destruction, deciding to involve the police. On the way back, Momo asks Turbo Granny about Jiji’s house. Although Momo sensed nothing odd, Turbo Granny ominously declares it "soaked in human blood."
Meanwhile, Okarun and Jiji are confused to find the secret room filled with talismans. When the doorbell rings, Jiji assumes it’s Momo but instead is greeted by his landlords, the women of the Kito family. They question his sudden disappearance and accuse him of bringing spirit mediums into the house.
The Kito family matriarch draws a gun, but a police officer shows up, only to reveal he’s aligned with the Kitos and has helped the men evade charges. Tensions rise as Okarun is interrogated, but his quick thinking proves he’s truly Jiji’s friend. When Momo’s name comes up, Jiji tries to lie, but the sharp-eyed matriarch sees through him.
The story shifts as Momo discovers a shrine dedicated to the Tsuchinoko. A priest tells her of a local legend involving a serpent whose wrath causes volcanic eruptions, prevented by child sacrifices. Though he admits the tale may have been a tourist trap, he mentions how fear can drive people to do horrific things.
Back at Jiji’s house, Momo spots the Kito men beating Okarun and Jiji. The matriarch declares that the "festival" can begin, now that all three offerings are present. Momo fights back but is overpowered and thrown into the talisman room. The matriarch reveals that for 200 years, the Kito family has offered human sacrifices to the Great Serpent to protect the village. Jiji’s home, she says, is the altar.
Suddenly, the ground turns to quicksand beneath Momo. She tries to escape, but the Kitos shove her back in. Okarun and Jiji attempt to save her and attack the Kitos, but they’re all pulled into a vast underground cavern filled with old houses. Jiji falls onto the body of the actual Great Serpent. Okarun identifies it as a Mongolian Deathworm, a man-eating cryptid, but is shocked by its sheer size.
Momo tries to warn the family it’s not a god but a deadly cryptid. The worm begins attacking indiscriminately. Jiji, Momo, and Okarun take shelter inside a house, but the former finds the other two incapacitated. Suddenly, Okarun’s powers go berserk, and he attacks Jiji, ending the episode on a tense cliffhanger.
What to expect in Dandadan season 2 episode 2? (speculative)
With the battle against the Tsuchinoko and the Kito family starting in the premiere, Dandadan season 2 episode 2 is expected to dive deeper into the clash with the Great Serpent. As the clash intensifies, the mysterious Evil Eye yokai is also set to make its appearance.
The upcoming episode will likely explore the origins and motives of the Evil Eye, its connection to the strange happenings at Jiji’s house, and whether it's aligned with the Kito family or an entirely separate threat. Viewers can anticipate key revelations as the group faces escalating danger, possibly having to take on multiple enemies at once.
