The last Witch Watch episode, titled ‘Kanshi Kazamatsuri, The Tengu,’ saw Morihito question Kanshi’s motives. Kanshi revealed he wanted to surpass ogres due to clan rivalry and had agreed to protect Nico to repay a large debt covered by Ibuki.

He warned Morihito of a new prophecy: an enemy existed within the school. Nico attempted to ease their tension using a spell, but it backfired, making Morihito overly friendly. After Nico was attacked by a possessed dress, Morihito and Kanshi cooperated to rescue her. Kanshi then moved in with Morihito and Nico.

Makuwa will become intrigued by Kukumi’s artwork and activity. The episode is expected to explore Makuwa’s reaction and interactions with Kukumi and some of the comedic events that naturally occur in the characters’ daily school life.
