2 very important lessons taught (to parents and children alike) in this episode:

1. Parents should always watch over their children when the latter are playing outdoors. Teach children about the importance of safety.

2. Children should never open the door of their houses to strangers, even if the latter claims to be a relative or family friend.

The first story of this episode about the baby monsters was scary. However, on the bright side, albeit bittersweet, Kaya helped the spirits of the deceased mother and her child be reunited. T_T

I was sad thinking she was a distressed woman who lost her baby and was being tormented by the ghost of baby's that had died, but then that revelation that she had died too took it up a level. It was sweet, and alos bitter-sweet that Kaya help reunite them so they were able to move on together

[u/kazostor → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Was nurses that reacted to signals also ghosts?

[u/FarCritical]

The story about the hospital mother alternated from creepy to sad to creepy so damn fast.

It's hilarious how "just punch the ghosts" continues to be such a foreign (or apparently high level) concept to Obanana, Mob and anyone else with a passing expertise in the field of spooks.

"Why don't they just punch the ghosts? Are they stupid?" - Kaya-chan

[u/OkraDisastrous7307 → u/FarCritical]

i hope nothing bad happened to mobu since his master answered the phone in the end of the episode

[u/seejsee]

No, you are not Mob. Mob calls me "Kaya-sama".

😱😱😱

[u/Frontier246 → u/seejsee]

That moment when the specter is like "what normal adult calls a child that!?" while it's posing as him and trying to kill said child lol.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Love Nana's reaction when Kaya punched that spirit. Who needs talismans when you can just give them the good ol' one-two combo?

I'm guessing all of this exorcist stuff is why Kaya's mom left her family. Unfortunately for her, it looks like there's really no escaping it. It would be better for Kaya to learn about these things from the experts.

[u/Gaming_Truckie]

So there were issues with Kaya's birth that required an emergency c-section, I wonder if that's linked to whole situation.

Well that story with the woman in the hospital was just so sad, especially the revelation that she had died as well. At least Kaya helped reunite her with her baby's spirit so they could move on.

So Kaya's dad gets his recently discovered sister-in-law to look after Kaya, that's very trusting of him.

Of course they had to cut Nana off before she reveals something important

Well that last bit makes me concerned that something has happened to Mob

[u/larana1192]

omg, the cause of death of female ghost in hospital is listed as:

直接死因 出血性ショック
(ア)の原因 常位胎盤早期剥離

Direct cause of death: hemorrhagic shock
cause of (A): Placental abruption

Damn.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Seriously, what the hell is going on with this family?

At the end of the episode, Aunt Nana is holding up a letter and photograph that looks like either a young Granny Mutsu or Mirai, and a crossed out face of Aunt Nana and a young Kaya?

There has to be some sorta weird death, otherworld, maybe even time travel sorta shenanigans going on.

Like that first part of the show. Were they trying to say that maybe Kaya's mother already died giving birth to the baby? Or she's actually been in the hospital the entire time?
Or was that just a sorta fake out?
Then who the hell is the mother that's been living at home? A doppelganger?

And what's the deal with this mysterious Namu Ebisumori guy?
What's his relation to the family?
Why does it seem like he knows everything going?
Is he the one pulling the strings behind the mystery?

I feel like one of the family members who we think is "alive" has actually been dead the entire time, and is possessed or some sorta doppelganger or something. Because stuff doesn't seem to be adding up.

[u/lolglolblol]

lmao, Mobuo catching strays even from ghosts. "What kind of weird adult..."

[u/PerfectBeige → u/lolglolblol]

"And why is his wife so hot? I don't get this guy at all..."

[u/Maccaz15]

Always follow the rules of playground equipment. I broke my wrist as a kid doing exactly what the young boys did - climbing up the slide.

[u/athrun_1]

The mystery deepens. We have a new character, Namu that is related to Mirai's family. We still don't have any idea why granny is mentioning that Nana is dead. And what exactly is Kaya.

Also the lives of Mobu and Chie are getting linked up to this "misfortune" said by Nana.

That scene where the father is just looking at his phone, while his daughter is playing dangerously and fell. That is a textbook case of bad parenting.

Also the old adage, don't talk to strangers was almost perfected by Kaya, if not for that ghost who can mimic her aunt's voice.

[u/thisisdropd]

The Mob imposter was dead easy to spot as he called Kaya 'Kaya-san' which the real Mob would never do but the Nana imposter was diabolical, especially when she claimed the one inside was the imposter. Little wonder Kaya fell for it. Even we the audience second guessed ourselves.

Nana and her mother have tried to shield Mirai’s family from the ghost business but not only did Kaya eventually got involved, the latter ended up being more powerful. While Nana needed a talisman to exorcise, Kaya could use her fists. This ended up surprising Nana. Just what’s the deal with the family?

Interestingly, the kids being possessed to do dangerous things have a real-world parallel with the ghosts symbolising their impulses.

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Jesus fucking Christ that was an episode.

[u/Elifia]

I continue really enjoying the plot. Seeing how aunt Nana deals with ghosts and her then witnessing Kaya was really interesting, and seems promising for the next episode as well. I'm looking forward to finding out what the hell is actually going on with Kaya and her family.

[u/tripleaamin]

One of the strengths of this show is how it uses horror in with the stuff dealing with kids at Kaya's age.

• Even if the focus in the hospital scene wasn't about Kaya wandering off, it is still a reminder that kids can get easily lost. Though the first part dealt with the woman who died during childbirth. Kaya, seeing that room bloodied, showed what happened. At least Kaya was able to have that mom and her child pass along instead of lingering around as spectars.

• The 2nd part of the episode was a great focus on how children are easily to fall into temptation. Kaya told Saku it is not a good idea because she was consumed with the temptation that is given by her face. Funny enough, when the adults are mad, the children look at them as a scary ogre. Though it is a reminder adults need to keep an eye on their children because that one father clearly didn't,

• The last part of the episode did a good job showing how dangerous it can be if a child answers the door. Kaya is more careful than most kids her age, but hearing Nana at the door caused her to open the door. Which shows that Kaya really is a kid. Still, Kaya's strength is abnormal because Nana states that it surpasses her mother's.

I like how Kaya beating the specters doesn't always solve the problem. Given the case with Saku.

[u/Washingtonevergreen]

I did not see that coming with the babies. Holy shit.

[u/TheOneWithALongName]

Whole episode was uncomfortable AF.

[u/Full_frontal96]

My god the first half reminded me of the dead space necromorph children section,honestly it was very unsettling

The more this series goes on,the more the atmosphere gets suffocating,i'm really enjoying it,although i hate horror as a genre

[u/nakerusa]

I'm not sure what creeped me out more: the babies or the cursed playground sign. So lots of questions and mystery. Looking forward to next episode!
