Jiji is literally just his mom.

Like his parents seemed kind of normal and then his mom is making him run while she's doing finger guns and popping out of the car window WHILE SHE IS LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING.

On the one hand, she's got MAD skills to drive like that. On the other hand, she's INSANE to drive like that.

It's never a good sign when the child has to be the voice of reason to the parents.

And its bad when its Jiji being the voice of reason.

u/JzanderN Aug 28 '25

I feel like Jiji's a lot more reasonable than he comes off. He acts silly a lot of the time, but it is always an act. Not him just being devoid of reason.

I know, I was just kind of making a dumb joke that didn't really pan out.

You can see his dad calmly holding the steering wheel like this isn't the first time she's done this lmao

and here we all thought he was athletic because of all those steps to climb to get to his house

Also driving backwards, in the city
And then casually doing a perfect 180° drift with a fully loaded kei truck

She should be in Rallye driving

Also driving backwards, in the city

Seems like not fully the city, considering where Seiko lives.

Ah I thought they passed the train station so I counted it as "city"
But yeah small town fits better

u/BonerPorn Aug 29 '25

I think the cast lives on the very edge of the Tokyo metro complex. Where the population is less dense, and Momo is flat out in the country. 

So yeah, suburbanish density. Still nuts to be really driving with a full truck

Jiji's dad has the patience of a saint. (I say this even though Jiji is my favorite character, but I understand that he would probably be exhausting for some people to take in large doses.)

u/Anzereke Aug 28 '25

He was actually immune to the death worm's suicide rays. But his wife and son had just spent three straight days singing the song that'll get on your nerves and he couldn't go on any more.

u/ClubMeSoftly Aug 30 '25

He just enjoyed some quiet time in the hospital

u/luminous_connoisseur Aug 28 '25

His dad cant be normal either, dude was driving backwards.

33

u/KeyboardMunkeh Aug 28 '25

Check again, that's his mom behind the wheel.

But it's not like Jiji didn't inherent anything from his dad. Did you see how much lumber dude was carrying? He has to be jacked.

17

u/WeebTheAnimeGod Aug 28 '25

The dad reaches over to take the wheel when mom leans out the window.

22

u/KeyboardMunkeh Aug 28 '25

I mean... someone has to keep Jiji and his mom alive.

u/luminous_connoisseur Aug 29 '25

Idk, to calmly join in and drive backwards is still not normal xD

18

u/Zemahem Aug 29 '25

Jiji is actual tempered by his dad's side of the family. His mom is the pure unfiltered chaos.

u/Tregavin Aug 28 '25

I was really confused about how/why the mom changed so wildly from picking Jiji to configure back to help construction. It seemed like a totally different person.

38

u/Anzereke Aug 28 '25

Same reason Jiji shifts massively between when he apologises and when he is feeling fine and starts doing all his bits.

11

u/Tregavin Aug 28 '25

That's a honestly valid point. Recognizing the vibe of the situation

u/Nerellos Aug 28 '25

with a nice cock

Jiji's mother is what happens when you marry the manic pixie dream girl.

u/ThrowCarp Aug 31 '25

I lol'd way too hard at that.
