Dandadan Chapter 41

With Jiji possessed and wielded by the Evil Eye, Chapter 41 crystallizes the emotional cost of possession: Momo realizes her friend’s body is now a vessel for a grudging, vengeful spirit and must brace for violence rather than rescue. The Evil Eye’s theatrical cruelty—kicking Momo and taunting the Turbo Granny—sets a cold tone, while his creation of a house-shaped dome made of grudges reveals how memory and collective trauma become literal weapons.

The chapter reframes the battlefield: the Evil Eye uses Jiji not merely as a puppet but as a moral instrument, shaping manifestations from suffering to repel the Tsuchinoko. Okarun’s furious defense of Momo shows his fierce attachment and establishes physical, immediate stakes that balance the chapter’s metaphysical horror.

Narratively, Chapter 41 deepens the cursed house arc’s thematic core: the series positions memory, empathy, and sacrifice against possession and revenge. The protagonists are forced into hard choices—fight a friend’s body or find another path—which propels the story into its next, morally complex confrontation.
