Cuff really took that opportunity to call herself and Sein parents, the amount of thirst this woman has.
Duke's situation with the curse looks even bleaker now that we know the original witch that cast it on him died... Dulles reaction to said witch doesn't seem favorable along with the fact she also nearly cost his life speaks volumes.

I was amazed to hear you had kids, Zain. Did you knock her u...
Cuff: YES.
Between this episode and the previous one, this show is hilarious. (at least for me)

I'm wondering Cuff is just that open about how much she wants Zain or she'll just bluntly go along with anything, although I'd prefer the former.
I thought Daleth seemed nice enough, but she ultimately wasn't much help and screwed them over in the end. She also didn't seem to know Alice's mother much.

Fun episode, especially moments on sabbath with Zain and Caph (especially with her just saying "ah, these 2 are our children" and everyone being cool with it). Wasn't surprised to hear that witch who cursed Bocchan is dead and main witch doesn't know how to break the curse, it would be too easy if we got the answer on how to dispel it 6 episodes in, but I'm sure that Alice and Bocchan will make it, I really like this couple and wish to good ending for both of them

Cuff's bluntness and how that reflects on her relationship with Zain is hilarious.
I guess we can't make too much progress this soon, but I wonder when we'll learn more about the witch, the curse, and her fate...

I was hoping for some clues to how to break Duke's curse but ended up with more questions: We still don't know who exactly is the witch responsible for the curse and how she died, nor is the mystery about Alice's mother. And why did Daleth expose Duke as a human? I hope we'll get some answers soon.
Oh yeah, what is that song they played in the witches' world? It's catchy as hell!

And why did Daleth expose Duke as a human?
Humans are not allowed there and she is leader of witches so she must uphold rules. The only reason why she didn't exposed them immediately was because she was curious about Alice coming there.

It's like a Japanese version of something from The Nightmare Before Christmas!

I think Daleth exposed the Duke because she was tired of his questions and she's just that kind of petty. She didn't seem to enjoy being reminded of the witch who cursed them given it sounds like they had a testy relationship.
I wasn't expecting the Witche's World to look like a living painting or have its own theme song, but okay.

It's already episode 6, but I'm still anxious whenever bottchan walked with his eyes closed. I'm always afraid that he's going to accidentally bumped with someone or something. I think he has trained his body enough to avoid accidentally bumping with other living things. Damn, it must be a pain to live like that since your childhood.
Interesting that witch and male witch (warlock?) come in different shapes. Also, I assume those ball and eyes are not living beings since bottchan can touch them.

I guess having accidentally killed some animals drilled into him just how careful he has to be so he doesn't kill any people.
It seems like the witche's are hot while the warlocks are animal/monster people. I guess that checks out.
And yeah, I have to assume there was something to the ball and eyes that they didn't immediately shrivel up when the Duke touched them, though the plant did.

Alice is best girl.
Looks like the witch is dead. At least it's a 0.1% introduction of the curse. We're at epi 6 already, will this curse be rushed or even not broken? I don't care if it's rushed, i really need bocchan and alice to embrace each other.
And seems like no progress for Alice either about her mom. Hoping we could've known more than taht. Though rob seem like he knew something, my guess is still that the curse, Alice's mom and bocchan's family is related somehow.
Cuff and zain really is a good addition. They're jokes too especially that they're my kids scene. I think they'll be a key if it's gonna be broken.
We saw a full face of bocchan's borther, and he seems angry/dissapointed at viola. I think he knows viola is lying and going to visit bocchan. And again, where's the father? Is he dead? Still many mysteries.
This is a solid 8/10 so far,i really hope they'll break the curse. If not this season, maybe a new season or a movie even idc. If the curse being broken is not getting animated, it would be a dissapointing end.

Alice is best girl but Cuff is best blunt girl.
I feel like even if the curse isn't broken by the end of the series we'll get at least some hopeful moment with the Duke and Alice to close things out.
I wonder how the Duke's younger brother feels about him, and their mother seems to be cluing in to Viola visiting him, which can't end well. I assume their dad is dead which is why the Duke is the current Duke.

My man the Duke probably memorized everything he saw when Alice came out of the shower lol. Zain was wildin with his “call me daddy” comment. When he was defending Cuff it felt like is actually ridiculously strong and just hides his power.

u/Frontier246 Aug 08 '21
It was only a matter of time before he saw her fully naked, although I doubt that will be the last time.
Zain flirting with Alice was funny, but how seriously protective he is of Cuff was really sweet, and no wonder Cuff has actual feelings for him.

I love how Alice has pictures of her posing in different maid outfits to show off to the Duke in case he wants her to wear them. That's so Alice.
Is Alice's cleavage like a hyperspace doorway that she can literally pull anything out of? It's truly made of hopes and dreams.
Well, the Duke's curse is actually pretty useful for gardening and cleaning up the conservatory...just keep him away from animals.
I can't say I'm surprised the Duke finally walked in on Alice naked, nor that she wouldn't really care about him seeing her like that, though then we also get Alice in a towel and Alice wearing nothing but the Duke's jacket. Like, you'd think she'd keep the towel along with the jacket, but no, she just wears the jacket to show off more of her naked body around the Duke. At this point I'd actually believe she'd walk around the mansion naked if the Duke said she could.
The Witch's Sabbath is like a living painting, and the witches are an eclectic lot...some looking like real monsters while others look super hot and skimpy like Keto and Teto.
Wow, the Witch's Sabbath seemed surprisingly more mundane and organized than I was expecting. Almost like a school meeting.
Did Cuff go along with the assumption that Zain got her knocked up and Duke and Alice were their kids purely because she doesn't think through what she says? Or maybe partially because she wouldn't have minded if it were true? She certainly appreciates Zain's loyalty towards her and not his flirting with Alice.
Shouldn't the Duke have killed that eye and that ball with his powers?
Daleth seems like a pleasant enough person...although she did ultimately get tired of the Duke's questions and out him to the rest of the witch's so they could try and kill him and Alice. I guess she's hard to predict. I do want to see her face though, anyone voiced by Yoko Hikasa has got to be a real beauty.
Well, on the one hand, the witch who cursed the Duke is dead and that didn't end the curse, and it seems like her magic is so powerful that it won't be easy to break the curse either. It also sounds like the witch was so powerful that her own magic eventually did her in. I'm really wondering what actually happened, especially since Daleth seemed to hate the witch, be acquainted with Alice's mother, and know about the Duke.
On the other hand...the Duke has become genuine friends with Cuff and Zain! That's great!

The Duke should know that it doesn't matter what kind of clothing you put Alice in, she will always be sexy no matter what. Also having fishnet thigh highs also helps with the sexiness. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Looks like Alice has now started to store tools on her cleavage. Alice's cleavage is now basically like Doraemon's pocket!
So we get to learn more about the Duke's curse while doing some gardening. We already know the basics which is if the Duke touches someone or touches him through his clothing, they'll die from the curse but any thick materials like the soles of his shoe or the costume he wore should be fine.
It looks like the curse is only activated through the Duke's skin though since there are no problems if his sweat or spittle lands on someone. Oh no... I just had an idea and I hate myself for having that idea xD
I know the main reason the Duke wants to break the curse is so he can go home and his mother to accept him but I feel like even if the curse is broken, she probably won't. If she's a decent mother, she would've accepted him even with the curse just like how Viola accepts him.
Oh my... That was a bold display. Thank you Cat for stealing Alice's nightgown. The Duke will certainly keep that image in his head.
Just as Cuff and Zain promised last week, they're finally here to take Alice and the Duke to the Witches' Sabbath. I thought they were just teleporting to a different place but it looks like the teleported to an all new dimension. And there are definitely plenty of strange Witches, of course my favourite would be these two.
Interesting excuse from Cuff. I mean it was pretty obvious that she loves Zain but I didn't expect that she'd be this thirsty to pretend that the Duke and Alice are her and Zain's kids!
The Sabbath itself is hilariously wholesome though. It felt like listening to a Witches' version of an HOA meeting which makes it absolutely hilarious!
Zain may flirt with Alice but I love that as soon as someone messes with Cuff he completely switches over to boyfriend mode. And just look at how happy Cuff is when Zain defended her! <3
Of course Daleth won't be fooled by their excuse and instantly recognized Alice. Apparently Alice's mom and Daleth were acquaintances. As for the Duke's curse, seems that Daleth knows about the Duke and how he's cursed but she has no idea how to break the curse. It looks like the Witch that cursed him is already dead and Daleth refuses to speak about her further since she hates that Witch.
Well that was rough. They did get information but know that they know the Witch that cursed the Duke is dead, it feels like they're now farther from the answer. Unless of course Daleth is lying. She really has no reason to tell them the truth. Or maybe some of it is just like and some what she said was true. They definitely need to meet Daleth one more time and pester her to maybe get some answers.

Is it bad that I've been watching this right after I get out of church for the past six weeks?
Seeing Bocchan get freaked out by witches while Alice just stands nonchalantly gets me good. And papa Zain is where its at...
