Yamada struggles with the effects of Nene Odagiri's charm power while trying to maintain his growing genuine relationship with Urara Shiraishi. 2. Plot Summary

The episode is noted for being "fan-service free" compared to previous ones, focusing instead on emotional stakes and the overarching mystery.

Through experimentation, Shiraishi realizes that body-swapping is her power, not Yamada's. Yamada’s true ability is Copy , allowing him to replicate the power of the last witch he kissed. This also makes the original witch susceptible to their own power through him.

The English version was officially released as part of the series' home media and streaming launch on Crunchyroll in November 2017.

Critics praised the focus on Yamada and Shiraishi's relationship, noting that their mutual trust and Shiraishi's assertiveness (the slap) were highlights of the season.

Reviewers noted that the episode feels somewhat "rushed" compared to the manga, as it compresses significant backstories and plot developments to fit the 12-episode format.
