Confused with the sudden change in Okarun, reminiscent of what happened with his parents, Jiji tries desperately to bring him back to his senses, but the Tsuchinoko attacks. Jiji soon realizes it uses sound vibrations to strike.
At the same time, Momo also attempts suicide, but ends up stabbing Turbo Granny instead. Jiji, acting quickly, restrains both Momo and Okarun. Turbo Granny explains that the Tsuchinoko emits psychic waves that drive people to suicidal impulses. As Jiji questions why he's unaffected, Momo attacks him, while the Tsuchinoko also strikes them.
In a desperate moment, Jiji shields Momo, taking the hit himself and moves her, Okarun, and Turbo Granny out of the worm's strike zone. While trying to outrun it with the two still under psychic influence, the Tsuchinoko closes in. Just as the situation seems hopeless, the Evil Eye arrives and stops the deathworm.
With the Evil Eye’s appearance, Momo and Okarun regain their senses. However, as the being turns its gaze toward them, Turbo Granny warns them not to meet its eyes, revealing it as a yokai whose stare induces madness and suicidal behavior.
Momo points out that its effect is similar to the Tsuchinoko's psychic attack, but Turbo Granny clarifies that the two are now canceling each other out. Noticing the worm is immobilized, Momo signals Okarun, who goes full force with his powers.
Dandadan season 2 episode 2: Jiji learns Evil Eye’s backstory as it takes over his body
Dandadan season 2 episode 2 sees Okarun decapitate the Tsuchinoko with his full throttle attack. However, the force of the blow sends him flying a great distance. Meanwhile, the cryptid regenerates its head and resumes the assault.
As the group flees, Jiji asks Evil Eye if his parents were victims of its influence. Instead of answering, the Evil Eye peers directly into Jiji’s eyes, triggering a deep dive into its tragic past.
The narrative transitions to the Evil Eye’s past. As a frail boy, he was kept locked away by the Kito family, intended as a human offering to the Tsuchinoko. Longing to play with other children, he watched from his window. His life was cut short as the Kito family offered him up to the cryptid during a volcanic eruption, tying him to a post and leaving him to be consumed alive by magma.
Even after death, his soul remained bound to that cursed altar. Over the years, the Kito family built homes above the ground, luring in families of three to be sacrificed in similar ways.
The boy's spirit continued to witness tragedy as the parents took their own lives, leaving their children alone and crying. As a ghost, he was powerless to help. Eventually, when the Kito matriarch planned to sacrifice yet another child by burying him alive along with the house, the boy's spirit, enraged, recognized her as the same one who sacrificed him.
Unable to bear the injustice, his fury erupted, vowing vengeance on the Kito family. In that moment, he fused with the child being sacrificed, transforming into the vengeful yokai, the Evil Eye.
Dandadan season 2 episode 2 returns to the present. Momo tries to draw the Evil Eye’s attention away from Jiji and bring him back to his senses. Meanwhile, Okarun is being pursued by the regenerated Tsuchinoko. Jiji explains to Momo that the Evil Eye isn’t a villain; he’s been fighting the Kito family’s cruelty alone all along.
Determined to help, Jiji races to the depths of the house, hoping to release the boy by finding his original body. Along with Momo and Turbo Granny, he arrives at a hidden room and discovers the boy’s corpse still bound to the altar post.
Realizing that the Evil Eye protected him from the Tsuchinoko's psy-waves, Jiji defends the yokai's actions despite Turbo Granny's warning not to show it sympathy. Just as Jiji reaches the remains, the Tsuchinoko strikes again, using an electric shock to incapacitate everyone and then secreting a glue-like substance to trap them.
Meanwhile, Okarun reverts to his human form and lies immobilized after expending all his energy in the earlier attack.
In the closing moments of Dandadan season 2 episode 2, Momo tries to escape with her powers, but Jiji is lost in conversation with the Evil Eye. After learning of its tragic past, Jiji apologizes for misunderstanding it before and promises to play with it.
The Evil Eye, satisfied, possesses Jiji’s body just as the Tsuchinoko attacks. The Evil Eye possessed Jiji, decapitates it, but then the yokai declares that, having taken Jiji's body, it will kill all humans.
Momo tries to snap Jiji out of it, but the Evil Eye attacks her. Meanwhile, the Tsuchinoko regenerates and attacks, but Jiji fends it off while restraining Momo. Turbo Granny warns Momo to brace herself as Jiji is no longer on their side. Just as he’s about to strike Momo with a powerful attack, Okarun arrives and blocks it.
