Dandadan episode 11 recap
Episode 11 began where the previous episode ended. Okarun initially believed that Jiji was an upstanding person for whom Momo had feelings. However, Jiji quickly revealed himself to be an odd and obnoxious individual.
Seiko, Momo’s aunt, announced that Jiji would be living with them starting that day, as both of his parents had been hospitalized. Out of kindness, Seiko decided to take him in.
Jiji shared that after he and Momo ended up at different schools, he began seeing ghosts.
Having grown up near the mountains with a love for nature, Jiji had been excited when his family moved to a new house, but soon after, he started sensing something was wrong. At first, he told himself it was just his imagination, but the ghost in the house made its presence undeniably clear.
In desperation, Jiji reached out to some of the most renowned spirit mediums in the country. Tragically, many of them committed suicide a few days after meeting him. The last person they referred him to was Seiko.
However, Seiko refused to exorcise the ghost, explaining that her powers only worked within Kamigoe City. Instead, she passed the responsibility to Momo, offering to buy Momo the school uniforms she had wanted in the previous episode as compensation.
On Jiji’s first day of school, he caused a major commotion and created problems for Momo. Meanwhile, Okarun became increasingly anxious over the possibility of Momo and Jiji developing feelings for each other.
During lunch break, Okarun continued his workout routine, and Momo joined him to prevent any more strange incidents from happening to him. Jiji joined as well, but their activities were interrupted when one of the school’s life-size anatomical models suddenly came to life.
The figure charged through the group, and Momo quickly noticed it had the second golden ball they had been searching for. This discovery sparked a chaotic chase around the city.
Using her powers, Momo managed to grab the anatomy figure, but it dragged her and Jiji along as it ran at full speed. To catch up, Okarun transformed into his Turbo Granny form and tried to stop the anatomy man as well.
The group eventually tracked the anatomy man to a dump. There, they learned his name was Taro. He explained that he had been running at full speed to save Hana, the school’s female anatomical model. Taro confessed his love for Hana and declared that he would do anything to protect her.
