Dandadan Chapter 61

Okarun finally seizes a tactical edge against the Evil Eye by harnessing the Turbo Granny’s breakthrough speed training, landing a decisive all-out headbutt that knocks the spirit down. Rather than finishing the fight, Okarun proposes a surprising pact: he will face the Evil Eye regularly, letting Jiji live more freely while keeping the yokai’s bloodlust focused solely on him.

This strange agreement reframes the antagonist as a complication to be managed rather than immediately destroyed, and it exposes Okarun’s growing sense of responsibility toward Jiji. The scene blends absurd humor—culminating in the Evil Eye gifting his briefs—with sincere stakes as the group grapples with an unconventional solution.

Narratively, Chapter 61 tightens character bonds and raises the emotional cost of future fights: Okarun’s gamble to be the Evil Eye’s weekly opponent signals both bravery and the precarious balance the team must maintain to keep their friend safe.
