Dan Da Dan season 2 episode 5 recap: Will hot water keep Jiji from turning evil again?

Dan Da Dan season 2 episode 5 recap: Dan Da Dan season 2 episode 5 aired on July 31, 2025, and this time, the story steps back from intense battles and enters a more grounded but still tense space. After the chaos with Jiji’s transformation in the previous episode, things seemed to calm down, for now. But even as the gang tries to return to some kind of normal, the curse still lingers in the background.

As bonds deepen, the looming question remains: can they relax and laugh tonight without invoking the Evil Eye's return? Here's how this episode blends horror with heartfelt friendship in perfect synergy.


The episode opens with Momo planning a sleepover at her house for safety, a rule born from the Evil Eye’s weakness to temperature. Seiko’s instructions are clear: keep Jiji away from cold liquids at all times. Cold = Evil Eye emerges. Hot water restores Jiji to normal.


While snacks arrive and chat lightens the mood, every drop of soy sauce or sneeze sends brief waves of panic. The trio tries to keep the night fun but Aira’s playful teasing and Okarun’s teasing tension build awkward warmth. The cursed house rules still hang over them: one slip and the night takes a much darker turn.


Even in the safe circle, the curse rules play an ominous role. At dinner, Jiji almost spills something cold. Momo and Aira scramble with the hot water thermos and comic timing helps, but tension stays tight. This fragility reminds everyone the Evil Eye could return any time Jiji’s body cools.


Despite that shadow, Jiji stays himself throughout, revealing how much control he’s built over the curse. But even a brief gulp of cold water or accidental spill could undo everything. It’s a tense reminder that friendship and protection go hand-in-hand tonight.


This episode shines brightest in the quiet scenes: Momo and Okarun’s shy glances, Aira awkwardly bonding through shared snacks, and all three leaning in against fear. Their chemistry makes the supernatural stakes feel personal because it's your friends you protect.

Turbo Granny gets some comic relief lines over voice chat. Jiji’s restraints tighten but his safety in numbers gives a sense of progress. Togetherness becomes their greatest defense.
