This episode is quite different from the previous ones because the "threat" isn't technically a yokai, but an onryo rooted in modern urban legend. The episode is packed with horror and suspense plus the ending is incredibly satisfying. The episode also introduces another function of Nube's left arm, adding an intriguing layer to his abilities.

Episode Context

Sitting at the season's midpoint, Episode 6 follows the supernatural karmic justice of Episode 5's 'Hatamonba's Curse' and pivots toward exploring how fear and belief can manifest real danger, a thematic thread the series has been steadily weaving. This installment deepens the pattern of each episode tackling a distinct supernatural threat while developing the student-teacher dynamics around Nube. It directly sets the stage for Episode 7's 'The Unseasonable Yuki-Onna,' continuing the season's escalation of personal anxieties colliding with yokai encounters.
