What is DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE about?
The DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE theatrical event will screen the beginning of the EVIL EYE arc, which began in the final episode of Season 1, along with the first three episodes of Season 2. In addition, the theatrical special will also include an exclusive interview with series co-directors Fuga Yamashiro and Abel Gongora.
The EVIL EYE arc is based on the fifth story arc of the same title of Yukinobu Tatsu's DAN DA DAN manga's Kintama Hunt Saga, which began serialization on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service in 2021. Without giving away major spoilers, the EVIL EYE arc sees Okarun, Momo, and their colleagues monitoring Jiji until the Evil Eye within him is somehow put under control.
The official story description of DAN DA DAN series reads:
DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. In this new arc, Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot springs town home rented by Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, with the goal to solve the mystery surrounding his family. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there’s more lurking under the surface of the town than they could possibly have imagined.
