I love the fact that the preview is going to pit Yayoi vs Fake Dorothy, and that's a dangerous gamble Yayoi is taking... the spirit that took control over Dorothy is likely very strong, just like that one who was controlling Shami and decimated all those police officers... if anything, I'm sure Yayoi is about to make the craziest and most dangerous plan ever.

Those kids were sick, deranged, absolute sociopath and every single one of who were complicit in that malicious accusation which drove that innocent teacher to suicide deserved to die horrible & painful death.

A day of school (no mention of exams or anything of the like) or someones life..., man thats a hard choice to make eh amiright. No, but really, I'm assuming she reacted like that because she was sure Ai wouldn't die (due to the God's protection).

The kids that did that stuff to that teacher deserve to die (a gruesome death).

The teacher could've just moved or something though right? And his wife for some reason didn't believe him, did he even try to convince her? Maybe he didn't, as he didn't even go after those kids when they threw that rock, his car could've substituted as proof also... Mental stuff.

Did the boy die? He had a very similar reaction as those police officers in the station (where is my head stuff).

Wow Dorothy previous owner actually have the same eye ability like Yayoi. The opposite of Yayoi whose becomes a savage kid playing around with evil spirit, instead poor shy kid unfortunately getting switched by such an unknown gothic spirit smh...

Now Yayoi needs to play hide and seek, its the best offline game on those fatamorgana world, in order to save bunch of other kids. Thought its gonna be a hard play, guess its not much of a challenge after all, even though i must be hats off to this spirit of the week too. Another fucked up story on the head and its still a chef kiss so far.

I can't believe there's still no announcement for continuation smh...
Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.

It's just an episode about kids but I spent the entire episode feeling tension build up. I was worried some horrible thing would happen, like decapitating the children or cutting off Yayoi's arms.

@Apratim dumbass, what would lead you to assume those kids are the same as Yayoi classmates? have you not bend paying attention to how ghosts function from the past episodes of dark gathering. it clear as day he was a ghost for many years, probably longer than Yayoi has been alive.(she at max 9)


Did I say it as a confirmation you clown? And it was never mentioned that the ghost is years old bruh, I just checked the manga to confirm. it's just 15-20 year old case, so ya those kids were different.
@Apratim are really telling me you can't deduced that the Teacher ghost has been dead for at least 6 years with all the info provided by this episode alone? it shouldn't be difficult for you to figured out.

Well, it's based on a manga which only began in 2019 and is still ongoing, so there was basically no chance the entire story would be wrapped up unless they decided to go with an anime original ending which deviated from it.

Ai's god and the Spectre of Death having been a fierce fight, it just so happened that Golden Week was at its end, but Yayoi has no time to waste about saving her own friend. But trying to get away from school, it's an inevitable thing, and not to mention that this Dorotny Flamsteed girl just happened to show up before her, things just get more awry. As a matter of friendship, going around the school for scary stories, it seems uncanny. Between a potential fight with a fellow classmate, Dorothy showing up to have Yayoi's classmates join her in shost hunting, what exactly is she plotting. With all ghosts going to the same place, Dorothy has that exact key to lead all of them with her "satsugo".

With all ghosts together, it unleashes an alternate world of memories about a teacher who's been falsely accused and did not spare his own suicide to consume the entire school in a ghastly game of hide and seek. Yayoi taking her chances to investigate what's truly going on, as Gonda gets consumed by the ghost, and the class rep managed to link up with Yayoi to find a place to meet up.

Dorothy's trap, will Yayoi and her friends find a way out?

A setup episode eh. Ig that kid whose spirit got killed will probably be fine after Yayoi deals with the sensei.
Humans only live for a hundred years, it is as unreal as a dream that ends in an instant. What is the point of a person living in this world? No more than just being on a journey, and witnessing interesting things. Although I do not want to die, I do not fear death. I am already on my right path, I have no regrets even if I die.

I agree that those children who drove their teacher to suicide should definitely die but can someone tell me that the children who are trapped in school right now were involved in that or not.

I’m an anime only, but I’m gonna guess not. It’s probably a similar situation as the boy from the previous story arc. He hates all kids because of what happened to him.

It will probably depend mainly on the popularity and success of this first season. Someone familiar with the television viewership statistics, Blu-Ray disc sales for the show when they come out (or pre-orders), or whichever exact metric or combination of different ones is used to determine it would know better than myself. But I believe that, at least traditionally, it's somewhat uncommon of them to go through the trouble of creating a two-cour adaptation for a series unless they plan to finish it in some capacity, either with a future season or seasons based on the source material or an anime original ending by the end of that first season. This is a 25 episode series as it stands right now and we just passed episode 23, so there's two episodes to go. I would say that if there's no anime original ending within the next two episodes then it's likely it will return for future seasons at some point, unless it's a total commercial flop.

Fact there isnt much fanart of it on Pixiv this late in the series makes me concerned it's possibly not that popular.

@iNinjeek No I won't as that is manga content which they might adapt in the next episode.
@MegamiRem It wasn't adapted, and it's just bonus commentary from chapter 32 (so just text), so it had no chances of being adapted from the beginning.
So feel free to read it now.

Felt bad for the teacher but holy sh*t they are killing childrens too now. Pretty sure its some sort of dream or domain or something but that's traumatizing.
