Let's All Carry Around Hot Water (みんなでお湯を持とう Minna de Oyu o Motō?) is the fiftieth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
Momo reviews Jiji's situation, having figured out, thanks to Seiko, that the Evil Eye will come out if Jiji comes in contact with cold water, while hot water will undo the possession and have Jiji return to normal. After Momo kicks Jiji for making light of the situation, Taro reacts in pain since he is still encasing Jiji and asks how long he will have to remain like this due to his situation becoming an interference with his time spent with Hana. Seiko informs Taro that he has set up a curfew for him and Hana and bows her head in apology to Jiji, Okarun, and Momo for accidently getting them involved with the Evil Eye. The Turbo Granny calls them all out to be naive, explaining that they can't hope to keep the Evil Eye under control due to it being a powerful yokai, and that all they have done is avoid disaster since the Evil Eye possessing Jiji is still only a newborn. To make sure the Evil Eye doesn't come out, Seiko tells Jiji that she and Manjiro will monitor him while he stays in Kamikoshi City, gives hot water thermos to Momo and Okarun, and instructs Jiji to avoid any cold water nearby. Momo and Okarun then tell each other that they have to remain vigilant until the next exorcism in order to avoid another confrontation with the Evil Eye. Momo, with Okarun and Aira, sees the Dover Demon and Chiquitita off as they prepare to head back home and thanks him for coming to the rescue. Before leaving, Momo asks the Dover Demon his real name and learns that it is "Peeny-Weeny", only for Momo, Okarun, and Aira to stick with the name "Mr. Mantis Shrimp" as they give their goodbyes to him.
The next day, Seiko, Manjiro, Momo, Okarun, Tao, and Jiji head out to visit Jiji's parents in the hospital. On the drive there, Momo has a moment with Okarun where she playfully touches his hand after he accidently touches hers, causing both of them to blush until they are interrupted by Jiji who complains to Momo on how Taro will not comply to move as he wants. After arriving at the hospital, Jiji becomes emotional to see his parents again. Taro is then told by Momo to give Jiji body language, which leads to Jiji moving weirdly in front of his parents. On the hospital's television, the news reports that the wildfire in Jiji's village has been put under control and that the police have arrested the Kito Family for their crimes but are on the hunt for the head Kito Family member named Naki Kito.
While hiding from her pursuers, Naki tears off her disguise to reveal her true form and swears vengeance on Momo on behalf of the Subterraneans.
