Dandadan season 2 episode 5, titled We Can All Stay There Together!, starts with Seiko, Momo, and Manjiro attempting to exorcise Jiji, still encased inside Taro’s body. But they fail to get rid of the Evil Eye. Later, at Momo’s house, the group gathers for a meal. The mantis shrimp alien, Penny Weeny, explains he returned to Earth because his cow stopped producing milk.

As his son Chiquitita needs it to survive and his home planet makes things difficult, he decided to stay on Earth. Meanwhile, Manjiro mentions it will take time to gather the hayashi performers needed for the exorcism. He suspects even then, it might not succeed. Jiji’s spiritual power makes it hard to separate him from the yokai, and even if they can remove it from his body, he worries it may leave lasting impacts on Jiji.

Things take a turn when Taro eats something hot and suddenly says everything’s gone dark. It’s actually Jiji speaking. Taro opens his face, confirming that Jiji has turned back to normal.

Seiko splashes cold water, and the Evil Eye takes over. Then, with hot water again, Jiji comes back. Now knowing how to reverse the possession temporarily, Seiko apologizes for sending the kids off on their own, unaware of how serious the situation would become.

Turbo Granny warns that the Evil Eye is no ordinary yokai, it was originally a mountain yokai, so powerful that it used to be revered as a god. Typically, it drives its hosts to madness and death, but Jiji’s strong spiritual energy makes him an ideal vessel. She believes this Evil Eye is still young, which is why they've managed to hold it off so far. But Turbo Granny fears it won’t last long.

Until the exorcism can be performed, the group must monitor Jiji closely. Taro’s barrier is weakening against its power, so Seiko tells everyone to carry hot water to suppress the Evil Eye if it emerges. The next day, Jiji visits his parents at the hospital. Momo and Okarun enjoy a romantic moment during the ride there.

Meanwhile, it’s revealed that the Kito men have been arrested for their crimes, but the matriarch, Naki Kito, is still at large. Hiding in the woods, Naki, injured and furious over the death of her Tsuchinoko, vows revenge on Momo. She then sheds off her skin, revealing her true form- an alien subterranean.

Back at school, Momo invites Aira and Okarun to move into her house until Jiji’s exorcism is done. Meanwhile, Taro’s barrier is broken. At dinner that night, a drop of soy sauce falls on Jiji’s hand, triggering the Evil Eye’s return. Episode 5 ends with the yokai breaking loose and starting another rampage.

With the Evil Eye breaking loose at Momo’s house, Dandadan season 2 episode 6 is likely to kick off another intense showdown. With no barrier now holding it back, the focus will probably be on how Seiko, Momo, and the others try to stop the yokai, most likely involving another exorcism attempt with the hayashi performers.

It remains to be seen whether hot water will still bring Jiji back or if a full-blown fight is unavoidable. As Jiji’s fate remains uncertain, the tension is bound to rise. The next episode may also shed light on Naki Kito, now revealed as a subterranean alien, and her plans for revenge against Momo and the group.
