The show has been obsessed with its fun weekly mischief and it’s easy to forget that there is a dark prophecy about Nico in the backstage. While Stinger suggested last week that things might get worse, it’s only here that prophecy has returned to the spotlight, and we have a better understanding of what our favorite Ditzy Witch Girl might store. Of course, the major shift for a series that is largely comedy may not necessarily be welcome or effective, but rather as Witch watch It has proven that it can do other things other than comedy, and nothing here is much farther than what has been done now. This shift is primarily effective, not only helping to set the series into several new directions, but also successfully managed to redefine a lot of what is currently doing.
When Morihito trains in prophecy on Nico’s mother, he is cautious about anyone’s suspicion and when Nemu walks up to him and declares she is a witch, he is soon found suspiciously. In introducing herself to Nico and Morihito (and also trying to hide that she has “knowed” twice), she warned Nico about the warlock she encountered that we learn more about what this means. Although ordinary witches use magic for the benefit of others, warlocks are witches willing to use magic without restrictions and are largely expelled from other witches. However, some warlocks still manage to lurk in the shadow of society, and the only thing that prevents a normal witch from becoming a person is being able to control one’s emotions, because suffering too much anxiety can destroy the witch’s magic and cause it to get out of control. We’ve seen some short hints about how Nico’s training uses her magic and how to do things for others helps to stay “pure”, so it’s nice to see that all of this ends up being more than just an excuse to build the show’s usual comedy, as it helps to make your own world more fleshy.
Speaking of Nico, the most interesting revelation here is actually not ultimately about the existence of the warlock, but more about all this connection to her. So far we’ve trained to think she’s a ditz and she can’t help but cause problems with every spell she tries, and while all of them are still very real, the fact that she can first cast so many spells compared to the average witch is considered anomaly. According to Nemu, Nico is a prophetic figure of her own, known as the thousands of witches, who can swing a thousand spells and use them to save a lot of people. However, this also makes her the main target for anyone who wishes to abuse her magic to gain her own gain, and Nico is seeking a warlock after doing so. Unfortunately, Nico can’t do much to resist the threat because training for ordinary witches does not use magic to cause physical damage, but this incompetence in direct combat is also the reason most witches are familiar with each other first and why Morihito put it next to her.
It is true that Nico needs most of the legend dump to explain to her, which is a little strange because many people do feel like what she should probably learn during training and makes it feel more good for the audience. However, we also see her mom willing to hide this message from her because she is worried that giving her extra anxiety will negatively affect her magic. This helps us understand what might happen if Nico couldn’t control her emotions, as Morihito revealed that Nico destroyed half of the house and caused her father to go out was partly due to her anxiety about being unable to make friends with her inability to become a witch. With that in mind, it does make sense why the people around her want her to get rid of dangerous things, but she certainly shouldn’t be treated like she can’t be trusted. Hopefully all of this dragging all of this into public will force them to be more honest with her progress. It’s all a lot for the future, but seeing this is still Witch watch What we’re talking about is that I’m glad there are still some quick gags between all of them, which helps to stop it from getting stuck in the drama. That said, the series is still able to redefine so much, even how many, in a matter of minutes Witch watch Once willing to step out of the comedy, it felt like it was now that the show started to show its hands.
While this was all going on, Kansas fell into its high bet when it learned about a new candy dripping candy. He soon realized that a magic user was involved, and he soon discovered that the person who gave the candy was a man named Wolf, who looked like a bad boy implied by the name. When Kamcha tries to face him, he hopelessly defeats him, and everyone quickly realizes that he is a dangerous figure in the prophecy. More specifically, he is associated with the warlock targeting Nico, who has been distributing drops at Wolf to create an army that can capture her. When everyone tries to track down the wolf, Keigo decides to provide some help, and we find he isn’t always the loser we know and cringe hipster. He used to be a figure skater until he was involved in an accident that damaged his legs and stopped him from skating, and he has been retreating into his shell ever since. Morihito and others were the first to contact him, and although he wanted to pretend that he liked to be a lonely person, he admitted that he valued them as a friend.
This makes the final song of the episode even more demanding, they all go to face the warlock, just let Keigo separate Morihito from the others. From there we find that Wolf and Keigo are the same, because Keigo also comes from a familiar lineage and is a werewolf, who is incorporated into the familiarity of the warlock. Most importantly, I also like the breath we get because we found that, like Ogres and Tengu change with dilution of dilution bloodline, werewolf no longer transformed into beasts, but rather became more aggressive when exposed to anything with the shape of a young man. It helps make the show’s view of these classic monster prototypes more interesting, and given how many nerd Keigo has been portrayed so far, it’s both surreal and fun as the moon turns him into a violent bad boy.
We also see that while Keigo might be willing to throw his new friend under the bus, he isn’t exactly suitable for everything Warlock does. Although he agreed to help the warlock in exchange for an elixir that can fix the legs, he was otherwise forced to enslave and we see him briefly asking Nico, the fact that he knew not long before betraying her was whether the fact that any recovery magic was indeed implying that he was looking for a way out. Even Wolf seems less dangerous than his design, just like when Nemu finally rediscovers his hiding place, he decides to save her life, even though his master is too eager to kill her. All of this suggests that Morihito has the potential to reach his chance, which adds some extra bets to next week’s fight.
In this episode, if I have any real complaints to be raised in this episode, it is that we get some animation shortcuts in the short battle between Kansas and Wolf. There isn’t an incredible thing to distract the rest of the material, but it does make me worry about how everything will behave next week when we’re going to have a longer fight. Still, the show has provided some solid action clips before, and since the series is largely a comedy, I think it’s reasonable to get into this expected battle scene Demon killer or Jujutsu Kaisen. I’m content as long as we get something useful, but part of me hopes the staff choose to be more conservative so that we can get something more impressive next week. So far, the show has dealt with the transition from comedy to a bigger story, and how much foundation this episode has laid, I’m glad to see where it starts from now on.
