This episode takes on a much lighter tone, yet it still delivers a strong emotional punch. The featured yokai this time is, in my opinion one of the more recognizable and less threatening figures in Japanese folklore. Interestingly, its origin closely follows the traditional folktales associated with it, which is a creative touch. This episode is a breath of fresh air after the darker episodes that came before it.

A lighter, more heartwarming arc involving a girl yokai tied to happiness. Balances the series’s darker beats with softer character work.
