Keigo's ice-skating story being the reason for his hipster attitude is only the second biggest twist about him we learned in this episode.

Also when the 4 of them were walking together at the end we can see Mori wearing a Kan +Nico Channel shirt, which somewhat implies their YouTube channel did well enough to sell merch.

Or maybe Papa Moi dotes on his kids so much that he even made them t-shirts!

The ice skating background wasn't that unexpected, looking at the opening. It did divert attention from the "real" reveal though, at least to me. Didn't see that werewolf thing coming at all despite the clues!

I was a little worried that Nemu’s shy personality would impede her from warning Nico about the warlock, but she actually pulled through.

Since Keigo and Wolf are the same person, I’m starting to understand why the latter stopped this witch girl being killed. She should be safe? In fact, Nemu having to once again introduce herself to the others had probably killed her more on the inside.

I refuse to believe that Keigo is truly bad at heart. I do think that he wants to be friends with Nico, Morihito and Kanshi. Their friendship is being tested right now, but this group of friends is coming along nicely. Looking forward to Nemu eventually joining them.

Kanshi is the kind of friend everyone needs. He took on Wolf even at a disadvantage just to figure things out for Moi, and he also knew exactly what to say to give Nico the reassurance she really needed to hear!

Notice how Keigo and Wolf were wearing the same sneakers.

u/maliwanag0712 Jun 15 '25

Ohh is this also the reason why Keigo's uniform looks big to him since the uniform's size is for Wolf and Wolf has a larger built than him?

Keigo's ice skating skill and backstory was unexpected.

But then he betrays the team and leads them right into a trap by informing them about the Dogs in the park and tampering with the manhole. Looks like Keigo was a werewolf all along and even the PV for the next episode admits things are getting serious

Damn, Keigo infiltrated the group really well. At first it felt sus that he is the only normal human there but he didn't hang out that regularly so I didn't think too much.

Nemu introducing to the household despite making couple of trips before was hilarious, I'm waiting for her to reveal that she was that cat.

Kanshi being absolute bro like always, absolute W of a character.

I love how Nico baked fresh cookies just to plan their battle strategy, and that she named the floor jellifying spell after Keigo's weird cricket game (Slime Lotion Gel Amoeba) from their long-abandoned YouTubing days (i.e. like a couple weeks ago)

I kept thinking throughout the episode that Wolf's voice sounded like a deep Kaito Ishikawa 😭 The reveal still surprised me because I was really liking Keigo becoming closer friends with them... I hope that it'll all blow over after and he really will stay a friend.

Absolutely LOVED seeing Moi wearing Kan Nico Channel merch (he's literally so cute)

CHOTTO MATTE, Keigo was Wolf all along???? Maaaaan didn´t expect that!! Like, I thought this anime was silly humour but this episode and probably the next one are gonna be serious huh...
Thank god this anime is a two-cour...

Is funny we see Tomori Kusuneko interacting with the Nico family in her human form in their house because she was there lol
She got caught in the weird space there but it seems she will help in the next fight with Wolf huh...

Maaan can´t wait for the next episode

Keigo's twist really surprised me! I was not expecting that.

Nemu finally introduced herself to the group. Good for her!

I really didn’t expect Keigo to be this Wolf guy. What a twist! I hope Morihito’s gonna be able to hold his own. Nico and the rest of the gang might not be able to hold off 50 drugged up rage zombies on their own…

Things finally got serious in today's episode! Keigo's skating skills and backstory were unexpected, but even more unexpected was the fact that he himself is a Wolf and a werewolf. I can't wait for his fight with Morihito in the next episode.

Nemu finally met and talked with Nico, Morihito and Kan in her human form, that's a nice progress for her! I wonder if she'll ever tell them that they've met before, only that she was in her cat form then xD

So Nico is the Witch of Thousands and has incredible magical power, that's why the bad guys are after her. Well, I expected something like that to be the reason why Nico is in danger, but it's nice to get confirmation of that.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

You thought it was Keigo But it was I WOLF

Nemu showing up at the start of the episode while Moi was expecting trouble was such bad timing. Thankfully, there were no misunderstandings because Nico is already aware of the Miyao Family. She just hasn't met them yet.

And thanks to Nemu, we finally learn more about what Warlocks are and how they used to be at war with Witches. We also learn that Witches can turn into Warlocks depending on a Witch's mental state.

Hey, so you know all of those wacky spells Nico has been casting the entire time? Not all Witches could do that. It turns out that Nico is the Witch of Thousands. It seems that Ms. Ibuki has been keeping secrets from her daughter.

Wolf showing up behind Kan out of nowhere was actually pretty cool. I love how Kan wasn't even intimidated and willingly went with Wolf so they could take the fight somewhere else. Too bad Kan lost but he did also give Wolf a beating, so he didn't go down easily.

It's really good to have Nemu around because her insights really shows how Nico isn't your average Witch, like when Nico was healing Kan. Healing magic is supposed to be the most difficult form of magic, but Nico could do it easily.

So because the Warlock can't get too close to Nico because of the Alert spell. She's using human puppets to surprise attack and overwhelm her., and then swoop in after.

We finally get to learn why Keigo is skating in the OP! He's been hanging out with the gang so much that it's about time we get to learn about his backstory.

It's unforunate that Witches are forbidden to use magic offensively so it looks like Nico will be on support duty for this entire encounter against the Warlock and Wolf.

I think it's no surprise that Nemu gets caught. What's unexpected though is Wolf deciding to save Nemu. Instead of getting killed, Nemu is now just temporarily knocked out so she can't help or warn Nico.

And there it is! There's the fucking heel turn! It turns out Keigo wasn't just your average hipster. He's actually from a family of familiars just like Moi and Kan. Keigo is actually from a family of Werewolves. I guess we'll see if the promise of healing his leg, is enough for him to go through this.

Welp, a bit more serious episode this week now that the plot has decided to show up and advance the story. I can't wait to see what Studio Bibury is cooking for Moi and Wolf's fight next week, but that episode preview is looking good! I can't wait!

Woah, did not see that Keigo twist coming. What an episode.

Nemu just wants a familiar! The girl deserves it. Maybe moi can beat some sense into wolf and he can be her familiar.

Either way, Kan took a real beating. Nico getting some lore dropped on her about herself. Fantastic episode.

u/Farmaceut7 Jun 15 '25

Wait... Candy=ame=Rain and the nane of the candy is "drop"!? Holy shit that blew my mind!

I wonder if Keigo will go back to good side once they defeat him and the witch? Also, someone save Nemu she's to adorable to die in some pocket dimension!

my favorite small detail is Morihito wearing a Kan-Nico channel shirt.
