Did Dandadan Season 2 Episode 5 just outshine Solo Leveling with pure emotion?
Dandadan Season 2 just did something most shonen anime would not dare - it hit pause on the fights and still came out swinging. Episode 5, titled We Can All Stay There Together!, slows the tempo after a wild run of back-to-back battles. Instead, the episode leans into awkward teen chemistry, offbeat humor, and emotional payoff - and somehow, it is even better for it, Comic Book Resources reported. Dandadan Season 2, Episode 5 dials down and leans more into the emotional side.(X/@Chinatsu_BB) After Evil Eye Jiji ends up trapped inside Taro's body, the crew regroups at Momo's place. They find a short-term fix, but peace is temporary in this world. With the big threats momentarily on ice, the show takes a step back to breathe - and that is where it shines. What changed in Dandadan Season 2 Episode 5? Momo and Okarun's dynamic carries this quieter episode, especially during a van ride that is part hilariously awkward, part surprisingly sweet. The moment Momo rests her hand on Okarun, timed perfectly with their drive through a red-lit tunnel, is pure anime magic. The manga handled the scene well, but the anime elevates it. The use of lighting, timing, and voice acting brings out the unspoken tension between them. Also read: From Solo Leveling to Jujutsu Kaisen: Top 5 popular anime everyone's watching in 2025 Solo Leveling comparison is not even close Here is where things get unexpectedly meta. In the English dub, both Jiji and Solo Leveling's Sung Jinwoo are voiced by Aleks Le. Both characters cry in hospital reunion scenes. But the difference in execution could not be clearer. While Solo Leveling's moment with Jinwoo's mom felt abrupt and tonally off, Dandadan's version feels grounded. The emotion lands without the melodrama. 'Momo Ayase said it best: 'Don't act all tough, it's okay if you were worried about 'em.'' That kind of emotional intelligence separates Dandadan from its slicker but less nuanced competition, CBR reported. Dandadan Season 2 Episode 5 ending Just when the episode feels like it is coasting to a cozy end, Dandadan does what it does best - chaos. Evil Eye explodes through the side of Ayase's house after a minor slip-up from Okarun, flipping the tone once again. It is jarring, but perfectly in line with the series' off-kilter rhythm. Even the reveal about the Kito family being subterranean mutants adds more texture without overplaying the moment. Naki Kito's transformation looks good - not quite as shocking as the manga, but the glowing eyes in the anime hit hard. This might have been a slower installment, but Episode 5 proves Dandadan does not need nonstop action to stay on top. It just needs space to let its world - and its weird, lovable characters - breathe. FAQs Where can I watch Dandadan Season 2? It's available on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu. Which manga chapters does Episode 5 cover? It covers chapters 49 through 51. Why are people comparing it to Solo Leveling? Because both shows feature similar hospital scenes voiced by the same actor, Aleks Le. Who are the Subterraneans in Dandadan? They are humanoid mutants living deep beneath the Earth's surface. Is there any action in Episode 5? The focus shifts to character development and humor instead.

Last Updated: Aasif Khan, known for his roles in Panchayat and Mirzapur, was hospitalized last month. He revealed that it has been 21 days since he quit smoking. Actor Aasif Khan, known for his roles in the web series 'Pataal Lok' and 'Panchayat,' was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai last month. While it was earlier reported that he suffered a heart attack, he later clarified it was actually gastroesophageal reflux disease, which caused heart attack-like symptoms. Now, nearly three weeks after the health scare, Aasif shared that he has quit smoking and hasn't had a cigarette in 21 days. He shared a few pictures from the hospital, which left fans wondering if he was still admitted. However, he clarified that he has returned home and shared a health update, saying he is much better now and feeling stronger. On Sunday, Aasif Khan shared a series of pictures from the hospital. He wrote, 'Log kehte hain 21 din me har acchi buri aadat chhut jaati hai , today its been 21 days since i quit smoking. Its friendship day today to mujhe laga isse best day kya ho sakta hai apne dosto se me kitna pyar karta hoon ye batane k liye , zindagi me utaar chadav aate rehte hain lekin chadav me apke sath ek hujum chalta hai….logo ka sailaab bheed , lekin utaar me jo sath rahe un sabko happy friendship day (They say it takes 21 days for every good or bad habit to break. Today marks 21 days since I quit smoking. It's Friendship Day today, and I thought, what better day than this to tell my friends how much I love them. Life keeps bringing ups and downs, but in the highs, your support marches like a flood… a crowd of people. But in the lows, those who stay with you—happy Friendship Day to all of them)." He further reflected on his recent health scare, and urged people not to wait to be hospitalized to realize their mistakes, or to recognize true friends. He wrote, 'Dosto se roz milo , zindagi k saude 20-30 rupay ki chizo se mat karo !!! bas bad me shayad kabhi hasunga ye baate padh k (Meet your friends every day. Don't make life's deals over things worth 20-30 rupees !!! Maybe someday, I'll laugh reading these words)." Aasif Khan's Health Update Lastly, sharing a health update, he wrote, 'Ps – i am at home , much better much stronger ,ye photo purani hai !!" Earlier, in a conversation with ETimes, Aasif said that the doctors have advised him to change his diet and avoid certain food types. Additionally, he has been advised to exercise more. 'I've been told to stop eating dal baati, limit my non-veg, and work out more. I don't think it should impact my work. Something or the other happens in everyone's life. People move on," he said. Who Is Aasif Khan? Aasif portrayed Ganesh in The Viral Fever's 'Panchayat' on Prime Video, the much-loved comedy series featuring Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta. In 'Paatal Lok Season 1,' Aasif played Kabir M, a suspect. He also played Anas Ahmad in Netflix's crime drama series 'Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega'. He began his acting career as a junior artist in films like 'Ready' (2011) and 'Agneepath' (2012), later appearing in notable Bollywood movies such as 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' (2017), 'Pagglait' (2021), and 'Kakuda' (2024).

The Great Indian Kapil Show: Shilpa Shetty roasts sister Shamita Shetty, Huma Qureshi's mother warns Kapil Sharma. Watch
As India gears up to celebrate Raksha Bandhan on August 9, The Great Indian Kapil Show is bringing together two of Bollywood's most beloved sibling duos, Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty, and Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem, for a fun-filled festive episode. A promo of the upcoming episode, leaked on social media, promises laughter, teasing, and plenty of sibling banter as the guests hilariously call each other out. Shamita Shetty and Shilpa Shetty, Huma Qureshi with her brother Saqib Saleem and mother, grace Kapil Sharma's show. Shilpa Shetty roasts Shamita Shetty on Kapil Sharma's show In the promo video, Shilpa jokes about Kapil Sharma's weight loss, to which he quips back that he must've learnt it from her, joking that he's growing shorter by the year. When Kapil asks if Shamita shares everything with her sister, Shilpa replies, 'She only hides boyfriend matters with me.' Shamita quickly responds that she doesn't hide it anymore, and Shilpa confirms, 'It's because she's single now.' Kapil cheekily asks Shamita, 'Otherwise you like men, right?' to which she exclaims, 'Of course!' — leaving her sister in splits. Shilpa doesn't hold back and even roasts Shamita's dating choices. When Sunil (dressed as a girl) asks, 'What should one see in a man?' Huma says, 'Handsome, tall,' and Shamita adds, 'Intelligence.' Shilpa then turns to her sister and quips, 'Lekin tu fir intelligence dekhti kyun nahi hai? Sirf body dekhti hai' (But then why don't you look at intelligence? You only look at the body). Huma Qureshi's mother warns Kapil Sharma Meanwhile, Huma and Saqib make a dramatic entry holding a giant rakhi to tie on Kapil. Later, Kapil is seen interacting with Huma's mother, who is in the audience. Jokingly, he says, 'I got married waiting for Huma,' to which her mother replies, 'Vo shuru se aapko bhai bolti hai, aur uski laaj rakhna chahiye aapko, nahi manoge to fir…' (She's been calling you 'brother' from the beginning, and you should respect that. If you don't, then…). A startled Kapil is then heard saying, 'Inka koi mike band karo, gundi hai aapki mummy?' (Turn off her mic — is your mum a goon?). About The Great Indian Kapil Show Hosted by Kapil Sharma, the show blends sketch comedy, celebrity interviews, and stand-up, with a familiar ensemble cast including Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, and Krushna Abhishek. The latest season has seen Navjot Singh Sidhu return as a permanent guest alongside Archana Puran Singh. A new twist this season allows fans to take the stage and showcase their talent. New episodes stream every Saturday on Netflix.
