Well now, I’ll just point out that the episode in question aired ON CHRISTMAS. Yet somehow, failed to generate the barrage of vengeful kids and parental complaints that Kiriya Kujo’s death 11 years to the day later elicited.

merry christmas kids, we killed todoroki's dad

Sabaki is currently dealing with Double Orochi in Okinawa, thanks Tokyo Riders for your help.

I don't get why they insist on putting this stuff in the opening paragraph!

I try very, very hard to avoid the Wiki until I after I finish watching a series. The number of random spoilers on that site are astronomical. It is super fun to have someone add a mention of something that'll happen dozens of episodes later, like they're showing off.

This unpredictable wildness about them is arguably more threatening than Orochi himself and makes the world getting consumed by them sound a little more plausible.

I just wish it felt like the Makamou were doing something other than menacing name characters? Before, they had an objective (devour/destroy) that the Oni needed to prevent in order to save lives. Here, it feels like the only lives in jeopardy are the Oni? I don't love it.
