EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off 'A Night Without Yoshimori,' which exposed how fragile Karasumori's defenses can be without its primary protector, this episode pivots to expand the larger power structure governing the supernatural world. Masamori's induction into the Council of Twelve marks a critical escalation in the show's political dimension, pulling the narrative beyond Yoshimori's immediate battles. It directly sets the stage for 'The Kokuboro's Declaration of War,' signaling that the threats converging on Karasumori are no longer just local — they are organized and incoming.
