Jiji is awesome. He's a class clown who just wants to make everyone laugh. But deep down is in a lot of emotional pain. He is the kind of person who hides their pain behind comedic behavior. He's basically a Robin Williams type of character. He's really a total sweetheart and gentleman. He is not a threat to Okarun at all. He certainly does care about Momo, but he never even attempts to come between Okarun and Momo's romantic relationship.

@mohammedfady305 Bro Jiji literally likes Momo. Tf you mean he doesn't get in the way. He literally said, "Someone I care deeply about is in need of help." Like bro he consistently cockblocks Okarun. I'm not saying I hate Jiji, I love Jiji. He just has feelings with Momo, which in turn accidentally makes Okarun jealous. Like in the panel where Okarun is thinking about Momo's message on the curry AKA "Love ya ❤️ " he is wondering if she truly ment it like when she calls Jiji and says, "Oh Jiji your so funny Love ya" I am also fully caught up with the manga.

1. Saying that Jiji is two faced is an exaggeration, for him realistically having lingering feelings about Momo. 2. Even the scene with him covering Momo's ears to help her sleep was to block out Reiko Kashima's voice. 3. Jiji isn't even actively trying to sabotage the relationship between Okarun and Momo in anyway. Jiji announcing that Momo was precious to him had no ulterior motives of trying to "backstab" Okarun.

He’s not problematic in the slightest, and he’s just a childhood friend trying to make up for lost time. Characters are allowed to have flaws, and every character in dandadan has been very likable, and feel like real people.

We're living in the western world full of people who have basically given themselves munchausen-autism and any social interaction that doesn't adhere their very strict script is labeled as "problematic" and "harassment."

[@koronatime2696]

Jiji was honest from the beginning. He let okarun know that he likes momo and has tried his best to be a friend to momo without his affection being in the way. Furthermore, he doesn’t try to persuade okarun to stop going after momo and sees him as a great friend in spite of their love rivalry. Jiji isn’t my favorite, but I feel like a lot of people misconstrue him as someone to hate on because we all want Ken and Momo to come together

[@metroskyes5974]

It's realistic. In high school this is how it would play out. The other one isn't realistic in most high schools. Kids don't have the emotional maturity to step back and talk things out. Its selfishness- but at that age, that's typical

[@SttudDioPierrot]

I think it's unfair to say "it's obvious that Momo and Okarun like each other, so Jiji and Aira should back off" In Episode 11, Okarun was thinking "What if she actually likes him? If they start dating, is she gonna stop hanging out with me?" Who's to say Jiji isn't having these Exact same thoughts? He likes her but telling her how he feels might ruin their friendship..But if he doesn't confess, he might lose her anyway. He has insecurities just like Okarun, that's why he acts so goofy whenever he flirts with her. It's a defense mechanism to Avoid Rejection. He was genuine with her before the Kur invasion, but his hands were covering her ears, and she had already fallen asleep so she never even heard him. He later gets the resolve to be more honest though, so I wouldn't say he's 2-faced either. He literally told Momo that she was precious to him, at the restaurant, in front of Okarun.

[@tric5122]

it's almost like these characters are young teens and don't know how to do things in a mature manner. Also, there is nothing in how Momo and Okarun treat eachother that says they are in a relationship, like eachother sure, but friendship and relationships are different. Only Momo's closest friends realize what is going on, the rest of the world is oblivious.

[@MrThundaro]

@@tric5122 Seiko isn't. She knows and so does TG.

[@pyrebird]

Personally, I don’t think Jiji’s being two-faced about his feelings, or really being held back in his character development in any way… I interpret his way of doing things as him trying to stamp down on his feelings for Momo because he does realise she likes Okarun instead of him… except in the times when he is being urged to be honest or when they can’t be so easily contained and basically burst out of him. I don’t think he’s “doing things behind Okarun’s back”, as a lot of those instances are very situational. That’s the in-universe take, at least. As far as an out-of-universe take on the handling of the subplot, I think there are probably plans to have hem discuss it openly, it simply hasn’t occurred yet due to the in-universe events being almost non-stop hecticness for quite a while. It’s worth fans remembering that all of the teen characters *are teenagers*, and so there’ll be a lot of poor handling of complex emotions.

[@MeganSin]

The thing I love about the anime (I have yet to get my hands on the manga but I’m working on it) is that a lot of the characters have such a satirical undertone. Like aira is a great example. Her intro, while infuriating, is just one side of her personality and it’s not even real personality. It’s just her persona. The scene where she confesses her feelings for okarun and particularly the cutaway scenes of her in her dad’s study watching his “movies” and reading his “books” you realize she’s actually a really sheltered person probably because her mother passed when she was young and because she’s so beautiful that people have probably only valued her on her looks. I like how they show the characters at their peak personalities before letting know the real character because makes us easier to understand them and their circumstances. Like jiji has that ott bro-like personality because he’s so naturally charming and that really works for when evil eye comes in. In a way (because I have been rewatching dbz recently) his storyline with evil eye reminds me of mr. Satan and majin buu.

[@ShonenOuji]

That’s a refreshing perspective for Jiji and it makes perfect sense. Evil Eye is basically just an R-rated Majin Buu. And Jiji balances out his crazy.

Nah, this kinda seems projection-y to me. I feel more like jiji was pushing okarun to be up front about his feelings. He’s just a heart on his sleeve guy. And even if he says momo is precious to him, you can feel that way without it being romantic, and the idea that momo has feelings for jiji instead of just being comfortable with him because theyve known each other for so long is wild to me personally.

[@tariqjohnson2154]

Both Okarun *and* the audience are in a one sided beef with Jiji lol. Some people genuinely think he popped up with the yogurt just to cockblock Okarun. Even if he did still have feelings for Momo as her old friend he’s allowed to catch up and bond with her.

[@oreotaku4017]

It’s quite clear to me reading that he has feelings for Momo but he has his own insecurities just like Okarun. He mentions how he feels he needs to act like a goof around her otherwise he’d be unable to and the way it’s portrayed when he says she’s precious to him is treated as a serious indirect confession. Still these feelings aren’t something that’s malicious. He is friends with Momo and Okarun, if they announced to the group that they were officially together then I’m like 85% sure Jiji would maturely step back and support them as a friend even if he’s hurt by their relationship.

[@triggerfairy4070]

[@self.construction.day1]

IDK this feels more like someone trying to make a situation problematic. It's better for him to be ambiguous. He is the friend that she tells you not to worry about. He also doesn't necessarily know how he feels. They are teens after all. Acting like he is so controversial or underhanded is dumb to me. This is all besides the fact that a messy dynamic of two guys liking the same girl but also not knowing how to deal with it is as close to authentic story telling as it gets. I don't think it would serve any character's arc if Jiji suddenly explained his entire world view and told us all what role he is supposed to be playing.

[@triggerfairy4070]

[@anita-rw3mx]

this video was funny. Ive just recently read the whole manga and havent interacted with the fandom alot. Hearing that theres controversy abt Jiji is hilarious since teenagers will repeatedly be SA'd or used for fanservice. Jiji is a teen too also a very friendly one. He isnt "making moves" on Momo, he's just being the friend he should be. He might be thinking abt his feelings for Momo, but the way he is very open abt having held her in her sleep, shows that he doesnt see it as a big deal. He says alot of bs all day but when he's fr, the he stops making faces. When he does make faces, its not close to his heart. Dude is in the process of loosing his crush while trying to be a good friend. Its Momo's or Okarun's job to tell him to hush it, not his to not *think" the wrong thing when holding a girls head while she sleeps. Idk abt y'all, but since Vamola was introduced Im certain that noone, besides Momo and Okarun can decide how their relationship will go, neither of them will loose interest unless the other agressively fumbles. No ditsy pretty girl or Ken Takakura himself will shake em. The story fully revolves around Momo growing as a person and learning to be honest and upfront. Thats the only danger to them.

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

I really don't understand people hating Jiji, when I read him in the manga I thought everyone was gonna love him, but it seems I vastly underestimated the tribalism of the OkaMomo shippers. I can only imagine how people will try to rip on Zuma, honestly disappointed with some of these fans who can't appreciate characters with tons of personality.

Jiji does not deserve the hate, he’s awesome

[@Lokitsu1]

What I'm loving so far about Dandadan is the layers and contradictions to each character. Jiji is a great example. In many ways, he's a good counterpart to Aira. She chases after love because her mom was taken away and it reflects in her need to be "perfect" and "the main character". What she really wants is to restore the mother-child dynamic she lost. Notice in the manga how she dotes on Chiquitita whenever he's around. Compare that with Jiji who is physically mature but acts childishly, always clowning around and flirting, but in a shallow, casual way. I think he's still clinging to childhood. He's not really interested in romance, he just wants to be bros and hang out, but the girls swoon and the guys are jealous. He doesn't really know how to talk to girls- his flirting techniques are straight out of bad japanese comedy routines. I imagine whenever a girl does confess to him, Jiji's like the dog with a car, he has no idea what to do next. I won't spoil anything about the Evil Eye, but if you've read that arc, compare it to what little we see of Jiji's life. (I realize I'm making assumptions here, but we don't know a lot of what Jiji's life is like when he's not with the Scooby Gang.) Jiji's 'romantic feelings' for Momo seem to be based on her not buying into his bull$&%t and treating him like a person (an annoying person, but still). He doesn't seem to know what he really wants her to be, friend or girlfriend which contributes to the tension.

[@Sean-b5q8t]

I'm sorry but I'm against Jiji. He needs to grow up and admit that the girl he liked was lost to him after he made fun of her. One of the biggest reasons I really don't like him is the fact that, not only does he befriend Okarun, but then he continues to pursue Momo even though he is well aware of her feelings for Okarun. So, he gives off the vibe of someone who befriends the love-interest of the girl he likes and then proceeds to betray him by continually trying to get into a romantic relationship with her and hurting Okarun. I've known a guy just like Jiji and after 'stealing' away someone else's love interest, that someone was destroyed. It caused his opinion towards friends of either gender to not be worth the pain. He later committed suicide. At his funeral, the girl confesses to his dead body that she was just trying to get him to 'be a man and ask her out'. The guy tried comforting her but she refused to even talk to the guy anymore. That was a mess-load of high school drama that shook the school to the core. Don't get me wrong, if Jiji were to stop relentlessly pursuing Momo, then I could like him. But to me, he seems more like someone who wants what he can't have and is trying to push Okarun out of her heart.

[@thelinstel]

[@phistoltv5196]

My problem with your analysis is that you assume Jiji knows they are a thing when in actual fact no one knows they are a think. A lot of Momo and Okarun physical interactions happen when no one is looking. Only the audience is aware. Plus it's unfair to assume that Jiji is emotionally intelligent while giving Momo and Okarun a pass for being naive about their feelings . Jiji only noticed Okarun is in love with Momo because Okarun is jittery by nature and it's easy to spot that.

[@tylermullgrav9834]

You just said that we shouldn’t assume that Jiji knows Okarun loves Momo, but then in the next paragraph you said that Jiji noticed Okarun loves Momo, so which is it?

[@lugoilustrations2306]

I think you are misunderstanding Jiji's current character. He cannot be honest with Momo because of his lack of self-confidence. And I think Tatsu can take advantage of that in a growth arc for him by drawing parallels with okarun. I totally disagree that he has the potential to be the best character, that's my dear Okarun's position.

[@arthurpprado]

[SPOILERS FOR THE DANDADAN MANGA] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I disagree completely. First of all, Jiji has been fake flirting with Momo since the very beginning, even before actually having the chance to be alone with her or make any actual romantic advances, even when she literally asks Okarun to help her murder him and hide his body. He may have romantic feelings for her but he isn't being two-faced about it, he is simply staying out of her and Okarun's way. Also, having feelings for someone doesn't mean you should immediately confess and either try to win them over or stepping away from them. There can be more things involved in the circumstances between you and them, which is clearly the case for Jiji. Not only are Momo and Okarun clearly a thing, but Jiji himself already has to care for the Evil Eye, as well as all the major events in the plot, like getting Okarun's balls back or helping Momo get back to her normal size after Danmanra

[@KexerHD]

[@rosstislav-sz8ux]

"Jiji is controversial" wait until Kinata shows up🙏

[@UltimateHalG]

Unpopular opinion, but I kinda just don’t like Jiji. It doesn’t even have to do with his relationship with Momo. Sure Momo is obviously into Okarun and Okarun clearly reciprocates, but they aren’t together yet, so there’s no reason for him to give up on her. My problem is that there’s just no thoughts in this man’s head. Don’t get me wrong, I love head-empty characters, but Jiji is a moron in the worst way. He’s the naive, “spare them all” type of moron. When they spared Silky, it made sense. She was a grief stricken mother who only wanted to protect Aira, but it twisted her psychologically and when it ended up killing Aira, she literally ripped herself apart to make it right. Evil Eye, on the other hand, literally just wanted to use Jiji to kill all humans. Yes, Evil Eye also had a tragic backstory, but the past doesn’t excuse the present, and in the present, he just wants to murder people because it’s fun. Evil eye continuously poses a problem to the team and is only controlled by Okarun agreeing to fight with him to keep him satisfied. Ok? So does Okarun have to do this forever? Does he have to live with Jiji for the rest of his life, babysitting this idiot and making sure he doesn’t wash his hands in cold water when he was told not to AGAIN? Jiji clearly isn’t capable of handling Evil Eye. Problem is, when they all wanted to exorcise this obvious threat to humanity who has already killed many people to the point of being a well known yokai and has already almost killed Jiji’s own parents, it’s Jiji alone who wants to save him and even after that proves to have been a horrible, horrible idea, he continues to protect this literal murderer while making everyone deal the issues that come with that decision for him. Yes, he got awesome powers from it…except NO, he didn’t. He got an evil spirit who has awesome powers to possess him with no control of his own over that power. And in situations where Evil Eye is needed, he only helps if Okarun gets involved too. Jiji does eventually get his own powers…except apparently he likely would have been able to learn how to do that without Evil Eye, and yes, needing an exorcist was what led him back to Momo SOONER, but if his own power was that strong and he actually cared about Momo as much as he claims, then with his personality he would have sought her out to reconcile eventually. So no, he didn’t get awesome powers. What he got was a liability. It may seem like I only have an issue with this one thing, but this one thing is the entire reason for his introduction and is his consistent issue from that moment onwards. His naivety, this one horrible mistake that sets the course for the rest of the series, and the fact that he DOESN’T. LEARN. FROM IT. made him irredeemable in my eyes. Also, I hate the stupid faces he makes. That’s just a personal thing. If I saw someone doing that in real life, I’d be super creeped out.

[@justinn8541akaDrPokemon]

Since you are bringing up the Komi-San parrell, Spoilers for Komi-San: If Jiji were to get a romantic interest, it should be a new character who can interact with him when he's not with his friends. Since he knows that Momo loves Okarun, he would feel guilty confessing for her. Introducing a new character who likes him for who he is would make an interinging arc for him. This new character is a side character, like Momo's gyaru friends, who is separate from the main plot but is still in the main story.

[@oreotaku4017]

I know that there are some people who are shipping him with Aira in a desperate “Pair the Spares” trope. I think because of a bonus comic that was released with the physical version of the manga. Unfortunately I have yet to see that comic because the official version I read online didn’t have any of the bonus material available. There are also some small parties on Reddit that ship him with Rin(the class president) or the more recently introduced Kouki. While those are smaller and more crack like ships at the moment I myself like pairs like the shy introverts with goofy extroverts.

[@ARMYALEX1869]

imagine thinking you know everything about a character after meeting him for only ONE EPISODE

[@briochelover]

I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think that Jiji is as malicious as you’re making him out to be. It’s true Jiji knows Okarun has a thing for momo, but like, Okarun also thinks Jiji does and suspects it several times, and still goes ahead and confesses, so this argument that it’s betrayal doesn’t really hold up imo. Like yeah it’s obvious momo and Okarun have a thing to us, but within the story there’s not really any indication Jiji or anyone else has caught on. The whole infamous cuddling with momo thing was even just Jiji helping momo out at its core rather than him making moves on her, it just kind of happens that we get him acknowledging his feelings for momo at the same time. It might just be wishful thinking on my part but I think Jiji’s recent professions of momo being precious to him is the author setting up Jiji actually trying to do something about his feelings and getting the whole Okarun jealous of Jiji thing sorted out before momo and Okarun start dating formally. I definitely think momo shrinking thing is not just for dragging out them dating but to sort out some of the unfinished business, maybe a confrontation with Jiji could finally make her come out and say that she loves okarun directly and be a resolution to reiko kashima wishing she could be more direct. I ended up writing a whole paragraph lol mb

[@milenaavila1603]

Well, all romantic rivals that were introduced so far had a pretty good impact in Momo's and Okarun's relationship. They're both so dumb and naive that if they didn't have any competition maybe they would never get together in the first place. Jiji's introduction made Okarun realize that he is in fact in love with Momo. I think that Jiji being all "you're so important to me, Momo" in the latest chapters is going to end up with Momo rejecting him, just like Okarun rejected Vamola. She never showed any romantic interest on Jiji after all, and she finally got Okarun's confession (which she was dreaming about ever since Reiko Kashima fooled her with a false confession). What truly "scares me" is that we never had shonen protagonists getting together before the story ends... so I don't know how well Tatsu is going to handle this. If they start dating, all this romantic pressure is going to fade and I feel that the romcom element of the story heavily depends on it. I can only wonder what he is going to do... will Momo reject Okarun's confession? Since she is so insecure about her feelings (And maybe Kashima will in fact take Okarun from her, just like she promised). Will one of them be, idk, abducted? Delaying her answer for another entire arc? I have a bad feeling about it, since shonen writers are not known for writting good romance.

[@milenaavila1603]

If Tatsu is as smart as he is showing to be so far, he is going to portray their clumsy romance and it's going to be cutest thing ever. After all it's going to be their first actual relationship, there is a lot to explore there instead of creating drama to delay Momo's confession.

[@AWSOM817]

Dandadan romance plot as far as i know, is misunderstanding feelings that characters had with each others and themselves, after all it is coming age story. It looks like depend on Momo and Okarun will-be-or-not situation coz they are the MC and a story need focus to be enjoyable, if Tatsu sensei really done his homework than he would know that no matter status of relationship there will be misunderstanding, especially in this teenagers years setting. I just worries that knowing now that Tatsu sensei really could cooking on tragedy, it would be heartbreaking situation involving Dandagang in the future, it would be real upset for sure. He has this uncanny skill to luls readers into insecure places. Those bittersweet moments that invoke my fear for the characters that we all known and came to love.

[@xzjayz7925]

Jiji isn’t two faced… don’t know how you managed to get to that conclusion. Jiji is quite literally ridiculously honest as a person. Momo herself said that… even when he told the nurse momo was an important person. Jiji has no ill intentions, he’s carrying himself in an honest way. Regardless of if he knows Okarun likes Momo, as he said, he likes her too. One thing everyone knows, at least for now is that Okarun and Momo aren’t dating YET. He has no reason to just give up and act like his feelings don’t exist 🤦🏽‍♂️. Would be incredibly dumb and unrealistic to write it in that way. NOW once they do start dating (momo and okarun) then Jiji would have to take a step back. In which I feel him and Aira might end up getting closer because of it. I think Jiji is the absolute goat, but isn’t my favorite character. Great cast of characters, love the main cast as well/main group 1.) Okarun 2.) Momo 3.) Zuma 4.) Aira 5.) Jiji 6.) Vamola 7.) Kinta 8.) Rin

[@Okkotsu86275]

While I only saw a bit of Jiji, I don't think he is problematic. Just a young kid trying to sort his feelings for a long time, friend. I think big things are ahead for the kid.

[@alvaroneyra7353]

I think that Jiji is very well written, he is a highschool teenager and acts exactly how one does at that age. Feelings are hard and interpreting them is harder at that age. He would totally feel big feelings and be unsure as to the right thing to do about them. He probably liked momo when they were younger, now he came back and sees she likes someone else. He is mad at himself, frustrated, but hes a good guy and becomes friends with okarun. Hes not sure if he's allowed or deserves to like Momo. He keeps hiding it not because he wants to be sneaky but because he wants to let that feeling go. But he cant, cuz thats what feelings are. So when in a serious situation, he is more clear and honest about his feelings. In those moments when he just HAS to be honest with himself. Again, that dramatic switch from one end to the other is very teenager. If youve ever liked someone that your friend liked in highschool, you probably have been JiJi at some point, lets be honest. The Komi situation would be hella rare since it takes a lot of trust, security, confidence, and maturity, which are all lacking in highschool.

[@deepindigo1937]

For me he feels more like a character whose nicha was taken over, he couldnt become a love rival since the pairing was going strong at the time he joined and hasnt really stoped, and he cannt really be the goofy friend in a series full of goofballs.

Jiji was not bullying Momo, but Momo suffered her first big disappointment-betrayal because of little Jiji. Jiji joined the mockery about Momo's Ki hand gestures that other classmates from their elementary school were inflicting on her. Little Momo had a big crush on little Jiji, and it seems she was trying to get his love. That disappointment hurt her, hurt her relationship with Seiko and left scars that are still affecting how she expresses her feelings.

I’ve said this when he was first introduced in the manga, the author loves introducing characters that’ll be likeable later into TERRIBLE Positions and roles that intentionally make the audience want to hate them, And tbh I don’t like when he does that lol, thankfully he didn’t do it to another character that starts with the letter Z

[@chancetehgamer8132]

Okarun would easily rizz me jiji would really really have to try for me like i understand hes like a class clown but my personal gripe is what part of him saying he lives with momo and is "lovey dovey" is a joke like im sure its clear she doesnt have them feelings for him..

[@AWSOM817]

8:45 It isn’t two-faced, that is rival in teenage years. If you had crush no matter the situation is you would care for that crush, especially now you also bff with her lover. It gave an “excuse” to care. Until the realization that while care is part of love, love isn’t just care. Thus start Jiji’s journey to find love, not just feeling love. Edit:Aira has the same premise as Jiji, but ofc different approach as she has different personality. To judge that her approach, shallow, is very subjective.

[@me.D2one]

I think Jiji doesn't know what to do about the situation for now. All the characters are young, and they’re just experiencing these kinds of feelings in absolutely crazy situations (like curses and aliens in such a short time). But he’s a kind and respectful boy, so eventually, he will tell Momo and Okarun about his feelings and resolve their problems. I’m sure he’ll handle this like a man. After all, he’s just 16. Give him a break!

Jiji and Okarun are BROTHERS. They are not as BROTHERS as Yuji and Todo, but a few funny flashbacks will do them justice 😂

[@PrettyPurpleness]

Momo and Okarun aren’t even dating and Jiji has known her for longer. If anything, shouldn’t Okarun step back and give Jiji a chance first? The answer is no because that would be ridiculous. Both of them have every right to show interest and pursue Momo as long as she’s single and has not told them to stop. It would be different if Jiji told her he liked her and she turned him down and he continued . That would be harassment. But Momo has never expressed discomfort with Jiji’s behavior towards her and it’s in question if before the last chapter she even realized he liked her as anything more than a friend. Jiji is nothing but honest and upfront about his feelings for Momo. He tries hard to control Evil Eye after he realizes he was about to seriously hurt Momo. He tries to be someone she can lean on when she needs help by drowning out the sound so she can sleep and he even tells Okarun when the class rep is causing problems for Momo. Okarun, on the other hand, doesn’t do much about to defend Momo when it’s not a life or death situation or some guy harassing her. Like why doesn’t he just go over to Momo’s class or tell the class rep to stop? Why doesn’t he tell Aira to stop when he knows her flirting, however superficial it might be, the flirting upsets Momo? It’s not like he likes Aira so why wait for her to come on to you when you get so flustered by it? Romantic rivals are used very well in this series tbh. They either push the two characters to make a change in how they act or highlight a flaw in their personality that’s keeping them from achieving their goals. Aira pushes Momo to be more honest with how she feels about Okarun, Jiji pushes Okarun to actually do something about how he feels and Vamola pushes Okarun to start setting boundaries (which is a whole other discussion).

[@ghostofsentric]

Jiji is gonna hook up with godzilla down the line after giving up fully on momo, but only after momo and okarun become a couple officially. Aira will likely try to pry them apart, but will give up.

Bro nothing's wrong with Jiji still liking Momo It's a highschooler and if Momo and Okarun are not confirmed to be a thing he still technically has a chance. Why would he give up after it was hinted even though it could just be his imagination. Being a lil delusional doesn't hurt anyone as long as it's well managed. Asking out someone that already is in a couple is messed up but: 1. He never asked her out he just crushed on her and thats normal because crushes cant be controlled 2. Momo and Okarun ARE NOT dating!!

i kinda feel like this analysis of jiji is kinda flawed at it's core. until okarun and momo officially become an item, jiji has every right to go after momo. he's supposed to pass on his happiness so some guy he just met can have smooth sailing? No, he has every right to try changing her perspective. it's not two face either, he made it clear early on that he has feelings for momo where we can assume they're romantic for the sake of argument. Making the point the it's two face to hit on momo while okarun isn't around... What's he supposed to do? do it only when he's around? that would be much weirder. he'd really be a bad guy if they were officially together and he still went to flirt. From momo's side, she's a strong character. she hasn't told gotten serious about jiji stopping his "advances" nor do they draw her having the bad kkind of discomfort around the suject. I guess the idea isn't analyzing the relations from a human perspective, rather a story telling perspective. But even then... I can't imagine too many people would agree characters deciding to get together and just laying it all out and solving things there and then is good writing... Maybe in some cases it is. but to me it sounds like it is more likely to end up as the character development equivalent of exposition done poorly.

[@galianchaos21]

This whole video is just 12 minutes and 35 seconds of him yapping. Jiji isn't two-faced, he's not back stabbing Okarun. He's dealing with complex emotions that most high schoolers go through. Add onto that, Evil Eye, spirits, aliens, and life-or-death battles and you've got an incredibly complex and difficult situation for anyone, much less a teenager. He and Okarun are both going through the same things, but while we cheer for Okarun because he's the protag, hating Jiji for the same thing is ridiculous.

[@phistoltv5196]

And he is assuming that Jiji is emotionally matured just because he asked Okarun that he has a crush on Momo which is wrong.

[@merrybonjour2783]

I LOVE jiji. I think he is adorable and a complete idiot so is really funny

[@stevenliu1377]

The key difference between Aira and Jiji is that Aira wants to out-compete Momo for Okarun not knowing that Okraun only loves Momo, while Jiji wants to circumvent Okarun to have Momo knowing that Momo only loves Okarun. The first one can respect; the second is just creepy. Knowing how Tatsu operates, the contrast is very much intentional. Aira is the child working hard to learn the ropes of adulthood; Jiji is the adult who tries his hardest to cling on to his childhood. Jiji sees the romantic relationship between Okarun and Momo, but isn't ready to acknowledge it, so he treats it as if it doesn't exist. In a sense, the adult Jiji knows what he ought to have done in order to have turn his childhood crush relationship with Momo into the romantic one he desires (which he goes through the motions and continues to go through the motions to do), but the adult Jiji also knows that Momo has already moved on, so in order not to acknowledge that it's too late, he has to cling on to the child Jiji. His "two-facedness" isn't an act of betrayal, but an act of denial.

[@markjack9772]

Did I miss something how can it be two-faced when that's the basis of the relationship easy things sneaky ken already knows

[@leothelion5035]

I think you misunderstand being someone's friend and yet fight for the girl you like. Jiji knows is Momo's choice, and He always tries to do her best. Also, Okarun knows Jiji likes Momo, that was what the soccer scene in the manga is about. Both of them know, is just that both of them are in the "let the best man win" trying to both court her. Problem is the two of them are not able to easily proclaim "oh yeah, I love you." So they are taking their time to proper convey their emotions.

[@stevenliu1377]

​@@markjack9772 His "two-facedness" isn't about hiding that he likes Momo from Okarun. That's what I mean by it not being an act of betrayal as the video suggests, but an act of denial. Once again, Aira stands as the genuine article to bring attention to it through contrast. Unlike Jiji, Aira genuinely isn't adult enough in romance to understand that the Momo + Okarun ship is long past sailed. Jiji is, but pretends to everyone, including himself, that he's like Aira so he can get away with doing as Aira does. So far, he's been getting away with it with all the characters except Muko, including Seiko (foreshadowing her one blind spot), but not so much with the general audience. Jiji wants to progress an adult romantic relationship with Momo, but he is doing so under the pretense of a child's romantic boundaries, denying his adult side where convenient not just for others but also for himself in order to proceed. That's why so many people find him so creepy. The Evil Eye being the murderous child is the perfect metaphor for this "two-facedness" and we have already had a taste of that uncomfortable dissonance when the Evil Eye possessed Jiji rips Momo's clothes off (Seiko not acknowledging the seriousness of the incident as Okarun does is some serious foreshadowing that, in the end, the lovebirds can't depend on the adult in the room to protect them, but must be the ones to recognize the insidiousness for what it is themselves and protect their own relationship). Ultimately, the growth moment will be Momo having her Muko moment, drawing the line in the sand, and setting adult romantic boundaries for her childhood friend. I think it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. It's foreshadowed way too hard not to happen. Whether this happens as a decision made together with Okarun or not is the question that remains. Edit: I also want to draw attention to the fact that Aira was the only one besides Okarun to acknowledge the seriousness of the incident. That face Aira makes when Momo doesn't take the incident seriously...it gives me chills to ponder what it foreshadows. Aira may be the most inexperienced in relationships, but she may turn out to be the most talented prodigy of them all in that regard. It's going to be an amazing bittersweet moment if Aira's realization/heartbreak turns out to be the catalyst for that Momo/Okarun's growth moment.

[@stevenliu1377]

@@leothelion5035 Again, the problem isn't that Jiji doesn't know it's Momo's choice; the problem is that he knows that she has already made her choice but continues to act as if he's as oblivious as Aira is when he isn't. Momo's growth moment will be when she stops treating Jiji like a child; Jiji's growth moment will be when he stops treating the Evil Eye and himself like children.

[@rohkandagoat7679]

Jiji literally told Okkurun that he likes Momo and could tell he liked her too. He's not two faced, he's a teenager going through his own set of complex emotions. They all are. Okkurun is awkward when expressing himself. Momo is touchy. Aira is more bashful when it comes to her emotions. And Jiji is more playful. They all just have their own defense mechanisms when it comes to expressing themselves

[@leothelion5035]

I think you didn't take into account the manga, at least the soccer scene in the Evil Eye Saga, if you are talking about Jiji being two faced. Okarun knows Jiji loves Momo, Jiji knows Okarun loves Momo, they are just competing while being friends, knowing the best may win, that was what the soccer scene was about. Yes, it wasn't explicitely said, but both of them try to do her best to show their best side to the girl they love, while being as honest as they can. They are still teenagers for God's sake, it's not easy to confess to your crush, and in the case of Jiji, is even more difficult when you have the clear intuition that most surely you will lose. Still, if Okarun ain't mad, and Jiji ain't mad, why are people taking it so badly? They are teens, let them be.

[@namezi0]

Surprised most comments are understanding and not just "agreeing" with the video. Im yet to listen the Aira analysis but after watching thia analysis its funny to me bcz the dislike and "antagonizing" of Jiji it's for similar reasons the loving for Aira. I think both are just simple additions to create "romantic" tension and development of the actual couple. Seeing one of them a real threat for the main couple (or a part of them) its just a stretch. And the analysis reflect they understand that but then also try to justify their analysis with the same point. Plus, i think its giving too much credit to Jiji, i dont think he really knows or believes Ayase likes likes Okarun. He may have a suspicion or may believe there could be something. Plus, reintering my point of Jiji and Aira comparisons. Aira has more than once show she's hiding her real intentions (and or personality) in general, not with those close to her. If anything that could be taken as a real "Double facing "...

I don't think Jiji wants to get between Okarun and Momo. He might love her, but he doesn't love her in the way that Okarun does. Jiji might just want Momo to be happy and if Okarun makes her happy then he's fine with that. I just don't think he's trying to be with her himself if that's not what she wants. Basically, he loves her, but he's not IN LOVE with her. He could easily get any girl besides Momo. And he is emotionally intelligent enough to realize that Okarun and Momo are hopelessly in love with each other. If Okarun was a terrible person then he would actually try to break them up, but because he likes Okarun a lot and respects him, Jiji actually trys to help Okarun with Momo.

Despite his "flirty" extrovert character, he NEVER forced himself towards Momo NOR backhanded Okarun. After all the bullshit he went through because of the demon (again almost ruined his family) he decided to befriend the demon because he simply wants to ease his pain and give him second chance and consistently training himself to be a better psychic combatant so he could fight alongside momo and his new friend Okarun. Okarun honestly is just have isekai protagonist plot armor/unrealistic anime romcom rizz. (I like okarun, but i like him more as just our vassal to understand the world honestly).

Some Manga spoilers below? Jiji is boring, and I don't mind it at all. I'm caught up with the manga, and I think the reason why he doesn't go anywhere is because the story is not about him. It's about Momo and Ken. It's always been about Momo and Ken. I personally think that is why the story is SOOO good. Aira doesn't really have a arc, she's kinda there for Momo to realize her feelings for Ken. Jiji doesn't really get an arc, he's kinda there for Ken to realize his feelings for Momo and fight for it. Bamora doesn't really have an arc (backstory she has, but not an arc), she's there for Momo to learn how jealous she gets around Ken. I often hate it when manga/anime tries to give all their characters a meaningful arc which usually translate to no one really getting anything special at all, just all becomes noise (MHA). I think it is more realistic that Jiji isn't honest with Ken. Jiji knows he doesn't have what they have, but he has regrets. It seems more realistic that he would take advantage. The only thing I don't understand is how you keep saying Jiji can become the best character? Because he's so strong? I just don't really care at this point if he masters his powers or not. I mean, it's not his love story...

[@felixrobles5516]

Jiji should be with aira

[@paultomkiel7008]

Maybe Tatsu is keeping this unnecessary tension going to have an arc or two or more where Jiji is full on villian? If Jiji is truly a friend to Momo, he **should** be able to tell that she is head over heels into Okarun/Ken. (I mean, the end of Chapter 166 makes that abundantly clear to the audience and between Ken/Okarun and Momo.) The seeds of treachery are already there. Jiji seems to have a superficial view of Momo (with a childish crush compared to Okarun and Momo's more matured love to boot). When Momo finally, completely, kills Jiji's crush (maybe by kissing Okarun), I could see him feeling a lot more affinity with the Evil Eye and not willing to provide ANY resistance to the Evil Eye. Jiji and the Evil Eye have plenty to make them a truly powerful villain: intimate knowledge of the friend group, Jiji's still-developing powers, knowing how Okarun fights, being Ken's first male friend, also Jiji is likeable and has garnered sympathy among the audience. Jiji LOOKS like he is all that and a bag of chips, but he is childish (even with his continued crush on Momo, he still oogles other girls like Aira). Part of growing up (especially romantically) is realizing your childhood crush was silly, if not outright stupid (always the crush itself but sometimes even the person being crushed on). Ken is growing up with regard to Jiji, but Momo will need to as well. My guess is that Momo would need to save Okarun from Jiji and at the climatic battle she would probably say that she loves Ken (instead of Okarun) after Jiji mocks her for not calling Ken by his real name and how that she is just as childish as he is. That would be the key moment to defeat Jiji. Buuuuut now I am writing fan fiction 😂 All I am saying is that Tatsu seems to be using Jiji to create harmonies and interpretations based off of several old story-telling tropes. Jiji betraying the group would cut deep for both the characters and the audience. However, Jiji stands in between Okarun and Momo having a fully grown-up relationship and I wouldn't be surprised if Tatsu chooses to have Jiji die Handily, my idea will eventually be fully disproven or vindicated, but that's my prediction.

I feel like your taking a lot of his actions in bad faith. It's completely natural for feelings to still be there even when the person u like is interested in someone else. They don't just disappear. Jiji doesn't do anything to actively ruin Momo and Okarun's relationship. Don't forget, Jiji is Momo's friend to. There's nothing inherently two-faced about saying your friend is precious to you, even if you have romantic feelings for them. I dont think Jiji and Okarun need to talk about their shared feelings for Momo and what they should do about it because I always got the impression that it was implied they already knew they would respect whatever happens. Isn't that what that play-football scene in the cursed house arc was abt? That they both care deeply abt Momo and that shouldn't ruin their friendship. Anyway, I dont think the way Jiji is now is a problem as he currently (manga-wise) poses no threat to Momo and Okarun's relationship intentionally or not.
