So we get both of those cliffhangers addressed from the end of last episode in S1:

  • The Kito family (that was assaulting Momo in the bath last episode) are driven off.
  • Then, that talisman room Okarun and Jiji saw from busting a hole in the wall was actually a quicksand room for offers to the Serpent Lord.

The dang serpent ends up eating the family members instead of the three protagonists. But we get another cliffhanger with Okarun transforming. Next episode is named "The Evil Eye" probably referencing the serpent.

I guess the lesson of the episode is that grannies kick ass and that you should never expect to be safe around a Great Serpent Lord I mean a Mongolian Death Worm.

Man, you forget just how quickly Dandadan moves on with its plot. Any other anime the talisman room at least would have been a mystery left to be solved in another episode. At most they would have started falling in the quicksand in the ending of this one.

My theory: based off what shrine guy said about human sin, this creature that Jiji has been dealing with is actually the creation of the Kitos and the villagers belief in a destructive god. The mogolian death worm isn't the evil eye, but the evil eye is a seperate entity (who might be able to control it like they are doing to Momo and Okarun).
