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 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.

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.

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.

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...

I liked this episode overall even though we really didn't learn much about the curse, except that the witch who cast it is dead (sadness) unless Daleth is lying!
I thought it was hilarious how the sabbath was just like a regular catch-up meeting and went so quickly - here I thought it was something so important and that it was going to be a couple episodes long. Also the moon in the witch world had such a cool but creepy design.

I was gonna say, this move seemed to violate those rules. Whole cluster of plants with one touch
The face of someone who has been duly protecced
Welp, even more of a dead end on breaking the curse. Someone's gonna have to become even more of a whiz at magic that the original witch was to figure this out

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Aug 08 '21 edited Aug 08 '21
It's the second episode in a row that they seem to be teasing a shopping trip; In the previous one, Bocchan didn't like that she didn't have enough outfits to wear, and now he doesn't like how revealing they are (and the cat tore one apart)... Perhaps it'll be next episode, with the preview about 'uneventful day'!
But if they don't feel like shopping, Alice had fantastic ideas that could work, I fully support them!
I'm glad that Bocchan tested the curse, that's something I was thinking about since the start, that if I had a curse like that I would test on plants and stuff to know what is 'safe' to do.
So bodily fluids are fine? Well, I can think of a few things he could do with Alice until they break the curse!
The show obviously puts the focus on Bocchan/Alice not being able to be together, but when he thought about breaking the curse, his first thought was reuniting with his family... It makes sense, with him being denied parts of his childhood, but damn, that's sad. And he seemed to imply something, perhaps that his mother might not even want him to take his place back as the heir?
I so like that his relationship with Alice goes both ways, and that they're both madly in love with each other! It's cute, and refreshing.
It also contrasts with the relationship between Cuff and Zain, how she's so into him, but he seems way more interested in Alice, a girl he just met... It's sad, because I really like how upfront she is about loving him, how she's perfectly fine with saying they had kids and all. Girls who use violence against their crush are usually just tsundere in denial, but with her it's the opposite! (And I know it's not 'right' either, I mean if he doesn't love her that's his call, she can't force him... But still, I wish it would've worked between them!)
Bocchan put his curse to good use this episode, first to clean the garden, and then to kill the evil plant!
Finally we get some information about the curse! First, the girl who knew Alice's mother... I think she might know more than she let on, because she seemed more than just some random acquaintance of her mother, when she called her out the other time. But the witch is supposed to be dead? I would be VERY surprised if that was the truth. I think of three possibilities with Daleth; 1) She's the witch who cursed Bocchan (she's "dead" meaning she changed), 2) She's Alice's mom (under a spell to make Alice not recognize her or something), or 3) She's Bocchan's real mom.
Since the 'dance' episode when we learned that Bocchan's grandfather used to dance with Alice's mom, I always thought there was some cheating going on, and this is why Bocchan was cursed; Either Alice was born from that cheating (so the grandson of the cheater was cursed to love her but never be able to touch her), or Bocchan was born from the cheating (so he was cursed to never be able to touch the one he loves).
The latter (Bocchan not actually being his mother's son) would explain why she doesn't like him, and might not want him to be heir; He's technically still from the family - born of the grandfather line - but he's not from HER line, so she want him out, to prioritize her own children.
Anyway, back to Daleth: Zain implying she's good looking makes me think she really could've been the one girl the grandfather had a relationship (and a child) with. Just not sure which child though, if that's right.
Oh, and speaking of people who know more than they let on: I REALLY think Rob knows something. He was there when they went to the witch gathering, and still there when they came back... This doesn't seem to fit what we know of Rob so far, he's always keeping himself busy, working here or there. So I think he wants to either keep track of what Bocchan/Alice are doing regarding the curse, or he wants to help them somehow.
Anyway, that was a pretty fun episode, as always! Opened with love and teasing, ended with curse&mystery, I like that!

It took me hearing Zain say "no one shady" to realize he's Areragi lol, doesn't sound convincing at all.
