That House Is a Damn Eyesore (目障りな家じゃんよ Mezawari na Ie jan yo?) is the forty-fourth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
Okarun picks himself up wanting to get back to Momo and takes the time to move the Evil Eye. At the bottom of the lair, the Turbo Granny cries out for help as she remains stuck to the Tsuchinoko's phlegm and becomes relieved to see Okarun coming to her rescue. However, after he also wounds up becoming stuck to the phlegm as well, Okarun and the Turbo Granny try calling out to Momo for help.
On the surface, Momo faces problems with the authorities after setting fire to the Enjoji house. Noticing the sun about to set, Momo begs for the firemen to use their hoses to spray the ground and is detained by the police. After the ground starts to shake, Momo and the others around witness the Tsuchinoko emerging from the ground, just as she planned after remembering back to when Jiji told her about how worms will be unable to remain underground if flooded with water and will end up drying up once exposed to sunlight, which begins to happen to the Tsuchinoko. Seeing the Tsuchinoko hiding behind the house to block the sunlight, Momo uses her powers to destroy the house, as well as attack the Tsuchinoko, by throwing a fire truck, while also commenting on how she found it to be an eyesore.

Events[]
- Okarun regains enough strength to carry the Evil Eye up the stairs to make escape easier.
- He hears Turbo Granny's screams while she's trapped in the phlegm down below, prompting him to rescue her but he too gets stuck.
- The fire department starts turning off the fire but the police believe Momo is an arsonist and they try to arrest her.
- The sun is about to set.
- Momo begs the workers to spray as much water on the ground as possible, since Jiji had told her that worms can't breathe when it rains and after they come to the surface to breathe, they get dried by the sun.
- After the Great Serpent emerges and wrecks havoc, Momo destroys the house with a firetruck to expose the creature.
