EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off Episode 9's spectral journey aboard the Ghost Train, this tenth installment escalates the supernatural threat level by introducing the god-like Raijū, deepening the season's catalog of increasingly powerful yōkai. It sits early in the 100-episode run, firmly within the series' world-building phase where each encounter expands Kitarō's understanding of the spirit realm. Episode 11, 'Obake Comedy,' will pivot toward a lighter comedic tone, making this a prime example of the tonal variety the season employs across its episodic adventures.
