Science Saru literally laid the lore-building blocks for its big kaiju mecha anime showdown.
The ninth episode of Dan Da Dan hit the ground running with an explosive rematch between Okarun and Evil Eye. But in an episode that otherwise was pretty chill and low-key, Science Saru set up the building blocks for the show’s big showdown that manga readers have been waiting for with bated breath to see adapted in all its glory.
As noted up top, Okarun and Evil Eye fought in a cold open that we won’t even attempt to give the play-by-play for. The only thing that matters is that it nailed manga creator Yukinobu Tatsu‘s ink-splotch-esque outline of an enraged Okarun putting the Evil Eye on the back foot, adding to the show’s already stellar adaptation of the manga.
The end of their battle saw Okarun rage-bait Evil Eye into promising to only fight him every week instead of putting humanity on notice for his purple-tinted onslaught. With Evil Eye surrendering control of Jiji Enjoji’s body, the gang calls it quits for their impromptu sleepover at Momo Ayase’s house, which was left in rubble after Okarun and Evil Eye’s battle.
Setting aside their problems for later, Momo, Seiko, Turbo Granny, and Hana decided to use the remainder of their funds for a much-needed spa day. Although Momo suggested asking Jiji, Aira, and Okarun to contribute towards the repairs, they ultimately chose to ignore that idea.
