Like, This Is the Legend of the Giant Snake

Trapped in the collapsing chamber, Momo channels her psychokinesis to drag both herself and Turbo Granny clear, only for the Kito clan to block every attempt. Everything shifts once Okarun and Jiji wake up and shove those relatives down into the descending floor. Okarun stretches toward Momo, hoping to haul her free, yet the moment slips away; he, Momo, Turbo Granny, Jiji, and the whole Kito clan tumble into the den below where the Tsuchinoko waits. Rising up, the beast is named by Okarun and Turbo Granny not as the storied Great Snake but as a kuragari, the so-called Mongolian Death Worm. Ignoring Momo's warning about what it truly is, the family offers the three teens as fresh sacrifices, and the worm responds by gulping the clan down. With the coast briefly clear, the trio ducks into an aged dwelling entombed under the present one. Jiji glances back and finds Momo and Okarun sprawled on the ground, palms pressed against their skulls.

Momo's psychic bid for freedom keeps getting reversed as the relatives hurl her back inside. Once roused, Okarun and Jiji push the family into the gap while Okarun grabs for Momo. The flooring collapses and the entire group drops into the serpent's pit, with Jiji landing right on the creature. Turbo Granny clarifies that the thing is a Mongolian Death Worm bloated to massive size after devouring people. The clan starts its sacrificial rite, yet the worm eats a few of them and the survivors bolt. Sheltering inside one of the many entombed homes, Momo and Okarun unexpectedly collapse in obvious distress.

Spanning nineteen pages, this Cursed House Arc installment within the Kintama Hunt Saga arrived on December 21, 2021, as part of Volume 5 and reached screens in Episode 13. The chapter dismantles the Great Snake myth by revealing a Mongolian Death Worm, while seeding the suicidal curse that grips Momo and Okarun.
