You may find that the yokai this time is pretty much the same category on ep 3, although this one is pretty much rigid and malicious. Katsuya has a good character but did a foolish decision at the start. This is my hunch but something/someone is deliberately sabotaging some stuff, I don't have much of a proof but I can feel it 🤔. The episode isn't graphic considering the nature of the yokai and it was an entertaining yet thrilling watch.

A cursed spirit targets someone in school, and Nube has to exorcise it before it spreads. This one dives deeper into how curses affect daily life and emotions.

Episode Context

Sitting at the season's midpoint, episode 5 follows the Rokurokubi arc where Miki's reckless curiosity triggered supernatural consequences, and it deepens the show's recurring message that human desires and emotions are magnets for yokai trouble. This installment shifts from peer-driven dilemmas to family stakes, broadening the emotional range heading into the back half. It directly sets the stage for episode 6's 'The Teketeke Ghost,' continuing the series' weekly deep-dives into Japanese urban legends and their toll on the students of Doumori Elementary.
