Episode three Yayoi takes Keitaro and Eiko to a haunted temple with lots of jizo statues to find something that can break the curse. Yayoi ends up fighting a powerful spirit while Keitaro learns more about her doll collection

I really love how weirdly the tone shifts in this show. It'll build up a genuinely creepy atmosphere only for a goofy design or character moment to completely break the tension. Some might hate that but I think it gives the series its own identity.

Ep 3 moves fast, using clever writing to turn a bizarre setup into genuine suspense. The eerie spirit art makes the escalation feel real as Keitaro gets dragged deeper into Yayoi's unsettling world, testing their fragile trust when a ghost hunt goes sideways.
