Damn, this episode got kinda crazy. I love how Kanshi is protrayed though, and being a good friend.

Nemu has been getting a lot more attention in recent episodes but she's gotta be more careful. Same with Moi obviously because he ran into some trouble in this episode as well.

HOLY SHIT I DIDNT SEE THAT ENDING COMING?!! Fairs, great bit of writing, it’s rare to genuinely surprise me these days. Keigo being Wolf is crazy. There were already some big stakes on this fight, but now it’s an even more complex conflict. Is Moi really gonna be able to go all out?? Is Nemu gonna be ok?! I need answers now!

Proud of Nemu for finally introducing herself to the cast, but she still didn’t tell them about how they petted and cuddled with her in cat form lol. She gave us our biggest lore dump so far too so Nemu’s literally been the most influential character in the story so far. We stan! Nico being the witch of thousands explains why people would be out to get her, easier to target her now when she’s still slow af than when she fully grasps her abilities

Can’t wait to see how this battle turns out. We got a serious adversary for once and emotional stakes .. this’ll be fun.

I am mindblown. Last episode, or maybe a few episodes back, I remember saying in a review that Nemu needs to have more confidence and believe in herself, and she actually did it! I’m seriously so proud of you, kitty cat. Glad you finally found some courage!

She actually went on her own, untransformed in her cat form, introduced herself, provided valuable intel, and was even helping them track Wolf, until, for some reason, she decided to head straight to the poster and enter their place. Yep. Good girl, I guess?

Are you serious, Nemu? The right move would’ve been to go to them and tell them they're at the poster! Not just rush in by yourself, what were you thinking?! You’re not the witch of the thousands like Nico! Why would you go alone?!

Kitty cat Nemu aside, the plot twist was ILLEGAL. I’d say this episode ties with Shoushimin's for episode of the week. I cannot believe Keigo is actually, not just Wolf himself, but the familiar of the warlock from the prophecy?! Goodness gracious, seriously.

I’m still mindblown, even now. That cliffhanger was amazing, especially the way Keigo just casually explained everything to a stunned Morihito while transforming. Goodness gracious. I cannot wait to see how their fight’s gonna play out!

Holy crap, what an episode.

I'm so glad Nemu is back again, she really is a good help to Moi. The amount of buildup for this fight has been so tense and I love it. Everything about is making me excited for next episode. I really hope Nico's side wins the fight, but I'm not sure how Moi will do against Wolf alone though. Praying for Moi rn.

It makes sense, if there are oni and tengu, that there are werewolves as well, and it's good to see that Nemu I'm hoping that if she's not going to have an affair with Morihito, at least Keigo will be okay, technically they're a bit similar except for the personality traits.

I love how Nico baked fresh cookies just to plan their battle strategy, and that she named the floor jellifying spell after Keigo's weird cricket game (Slime Lotion Gel Amoeba) from their long-abandoned YouTubing days (i.e. like a couple weeks ago)

This is a serious episode that's different to the usual bullshit episode.

I appreciate the word play here.

So the cutie's name is Miyao Nemu. Obviously, miyao is a pun on how cat sounds are represented in English. Even if the kanji of Nemu is different, nemu suggests something related to sleep.

The word for rain is ame, but ame is also candy. They differ in kanji and pitch accent. So they had understood the threat as ame = rain, only to realise later than ame = candy.

Dogs and raindrops is here! After saving this arc for the end of the first cour its finally arrived. Nemu found them last episode and thankfully she immediately went and told Morihito and Nico. Giving us the audience the full rundown of some witch history and why the warlock themselves can't just come directly for Nico. Sending out those candies to brainwash humans into being a puppet army. With this familiar Wolf being the warlock direct underling. Kanshi does well finding out information and trying to see how strong Wolf really is. Getting very beat up in the process, he did great taking one for the team. I liked how show visually presented the opposing sides we have with the cookies. Nico not being able to fully offensively help since it's forbidden but she can still back Morihito up. Keigo even offering his ow hell to the situation but we later see why. He wants that old injury healed so he can be a figure skater again. Teaming up with the warlock and revealing himself to be a werewolf this whole time! A wolf in the grass you could say. Tricking Morihito into falling in this magically created space so hes separated from Nico during the battle. Now we get a one v one of Oni vs Wolf!!

Oh my god, Keigo was the traitor all along?! I never even suspected that! So we’ve finally learned the identity of the werewolf…

Two quick points worth mentioning! First, the animation and art were clearly weak in this episode. (And just to be clear, I’m comparing the anime to itself, since I know many people get overly emotional whenever someone critiques their favorite show.) I *like* this series and have praised it for the past 10 episodes, but I won’t lie and praise it blindly—the animation this time was just bad.

Second point: the anime has finally entered the main plot! The prophecy Neko’s mom spoke of, using clairvoyant magic at 00:27 in episode 3—can you believe it? We finally got back to the story’s path, started learning about the characters’ pasts, and understanding the significance of being a tengu, a ghoul, or a witch from the Myao family, etc.

Nemo showed great courage, and I hope she gets saved and “Bathed” by Morihito again, hahahaha (just joking).

As usual, Neko completely forgot the seriousness of the situation the moment Morihito praised her! Her heart and love for Morihito are so strong, even Nemo is starting to envy their close relationship.

I’m excited for next week’s episode! See you all in the comments for episode 12...

So, every with knows about warlocks and the Witch of Thousands except for the one that needs to, Nico. Really dumbshit strategy, Nico's mom.

Keigo was a skater. Figures.

"Am I being dissed right now?"
Later for that, buddy.

"The moon is going all blurry!"
'I have a bad feeling about this.'

And,,,,, The traitor appears, to fuck up the plan. At least he is also the chief goon for the baddies, so Moi does not have to fight two.

Disappointed about not getting my favorite OP in anime right now on this episode, but HOLY F***!! What a plot twist!
©2025 LaczPro

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Fair play, when they mentioned danger coming from school my suspicion was Keigo & Seto-kaijo, but he slowly built trust and even this episode they had good moment just before he backstabbed them.

Warewolfs are also here. He looks cool kinda similar to Gorou(OPM). Kanshi fought hard but he was no match. It will be a tough fight for Morihito.

The rain & dogs are candy & mind controlled students. Nico & Kanshi also need to step up in order to survive.

Nico is amazing witch wah surprise even today she almost messed up with slimes. But 1000 spells (she knows 100 already huh), saving 1000 people (she has progressed a lot here) and once in a 1000 year witch, sugo. She is 1 in 1000 anime waifu for sure. Need to protect at all cost.

Nemu finally introduced herself she also helping a lot hopefully she is ok.

Amazing episode and it will be even more interesting next time. Morihito v Keigo hopefully delivers.

Finally, Nemu appeared infront of them in her true form ๐Ÿ˜„โค๏ธโค๏ธ

I had the feeling that Keigo and wolf had some resemblance between them but still that was shocking when Keigo suddenly revealed who he is. I can't believe that he betrayed his friends for another shot at figure skating or did he lose his mom in that accident and wants to bring her back and that's the real reason he made the contract with the Warlock.

Nemu reveal her secret: Nemu "I am a witch". Morihito and Nico can't trust Nemu, Morihito "I still can't trust you, though. We have enemies that are after Nico." Warlock after Nico, Nemu "Nico Wakatsuki is the Witch of Thousands. She possesses 1,000 spells, and will save 1,000 people. A special witch that comes once in a thousand years." Nico healed wound Kanshi. Morihito now understand prophecy Wolf after Nico. Nemu mention, "Enchanters specialize in imbuing objects with magic. I think they changed the candy into magical medicine so they can create human to control. It's difficult to imbue a lot of magic at once, but if you mix it in with candy, and slowly consume it, then it's possible." Nico power "Go, new spell! Slime Lotion Gel Amoebas!" Keigo fromer figuer skater skills able to skate on slime area, make sense. Nemu finds sigil (teleportation gate), Enchanter capture Nemu know she a cat/ witch, knows Nemu secret. Wolf wanted to save the cat. Wolf and Enchanters put a plan into motion waste no time. Keigo got intel on Wolf battle plan, later on Keigo backstab them what an ending.

Sometimes, you know an episode is getting serious when the OP gets skipped and even the ED gets relegated to the background while a scene still plays out and this episode of Witch Watch did exactly that.

I'm glad that Nemu put aside her previous visit aside and got straight to the point about the danger that she felt, which she told Nico and Morihito right away. Sadly, she did get spotted after she made another recon mission, but at least she won't be harmed, which might play out to Nico's advantage in dealing with a hoard of human puppets aiming to capture her.

One thing I wasn't expecting was the plot twist involving Keigo being the Wolf himself, which was done really well. He, too, is a victim of the enchanter's scheme, especially as he was promised a cure for his injury sustained in a traffic accident that put an end to his ice skating career, which has unfortunately led to him being the enemy to Morihito in a one-on-one fight.

The tide is against them, but hopefully Nico, Morihito and the others can pull through this and win.

It will be a tough fight for Morihito.
With Moi's long habit of holding back to the minimum needed, he has a LOT more than he has shown us. I anticipate a trope in the fight when he finally realized he does not need to hold and and its "Bang Zoom ...You're Going to the Moon!" dumb wolf.

Kanshi is a real bro. At this point I'm shipping him and Nemu. She needs a familiar, amirite?

To hell with that hypocrite Keigo justifying that he's only joined the warlock for the healing.

He knew full and well what he was selling out. And he sold out to the Warlock BEFORE even asking Nico if she could help him. So all his justification that he's doing it because Nico can't heal him is utter bullshit.

I hope Moi beats his ass! And that everyone at school ostracizes him after. Grrr.

Really cool. Me and the friend who I watch this show with made predictions on Wolf's identity, and somehow we were both partially right. I also did not expect this show's serious arcs to have action. The cliffhanger was at an annoying place, though.

So the Wolf was among them the whole time. I didn't see that coming.

Still, I feel like the next episode is going to be totally predictable. They're going to have their fight, and Wolf will lose (or at best a draw), and then Nico or perhaps Nemu is going to offer him the thing anyway, and he'll switch sides. (The enchanter goofed by offering him something that every witch has and younger witches are less likely to have used up.)

Meanwhile, she'll escape to set up the Big Bad for next season as well.

Yeah I was one of the ones that got fooled, did not see that plot twist coming. If anything I thought that Keigo still had a lasting injury from the accident he suffered years ago when he stopped to pretend to retie his shoe laces and the wish he wants is to get healed, but that's assuming that wasn't a made up story. Anyway, I hope that Nico and Kan are ok without Morihito around and that Morihito beats up Wolf. Also, Nemu may still be in that dimension that Morihito entered so he should be able to save her after his fight.

A great twist with great wordplay on the prophecy, with Ame meaning both Rain and Candy. While this series gets pretty silly at times, gotta give the writer credit where it's due. I suppose you could say Keigo's two tone hair may have been a slight giveaway at his other side, but I feel most probably chucked that up to either a design choice or him being a hipster.

It's also cool to see some lore for Nico, and that she's significantly more powerful than other witches, which gives an actual reason for black magic witches to go after her.

@Marinate1016 Yeah, I honestly would wonder if there were more hints dropped prior to this, the biggest one is Keigo
and the whole thing with the website didn't lead to texts so much as maybe an email about where to meet.

The pattern in the series doesn't change much for these fights, though Shinohara does diversify and make a few witches more than just the weak caster type, I'll just leave it at that

@FMmatron The ways Shinohara modifies the various monsters into their familiar descendants is fun, though I still think another author could take the concept and turn it into a genuine battle series with some more expansion on things like the supernatural background, etc
