Although this わ comes from Kansai-ben, it's becoming more common among young people even in Tokyo.
Keep in mind that this is different from the feminine わ, which is pronounced with a high pitch. 見たいわ➚
This one's pronounced with a low pitch. ヤバいわ➘
Note that when men use this わ, it's usually limited to certain verbs, expressions,
and short sentences (e.g., 帰るわ / 出るわ / ヤバいわ / それはないわ!).
This can convey a slight desire to have one's feelings or intentions acknowledged/noticed.
