After having a hot pot party with the spirits, Shido and the crew of the Fraxinus depart to meet a new spirit who appeared. Introducing herself as Natsumi, the spirit appears to be friendly to Shido at first, until she suddenly changes her behavior and without further explanation, declares that she will destroy Shido's life before making her leave. Back at school, Shido is surprised when his classmates and teacher accuse him of commiting multiple offences against them, until he learns that the true culprit is Natsumi, who disguised as him to destroy his reputation, but before Natsumi attacks Shido, Touka and Origami intervene and easily distinguish the true Shido from the false, forcing her to retreat. Some days later, Kotori approaches Shido with a letter from Natsumi containing pictures of twelve people close to him. According to the letter, Natsumi disguised herself as one of them, and is challenging Shido to identify the imposter before all of them are disappeared.
To why did Natsumi tires to kills Shido was a misunderstanding that was cause by AST who was attacked by Natsumi as they tries to kill her and it caused a wind. I will try my better to not post spoilers beyond the anime, as there are non novel reader. Now, even I were to compare the anime to novel. I would said that the novel is better in a way but at times the story can be a boring but that would have been due to me having not much sleep. Now comparing the animation to the last two seasons, the change from studio to studio, this the third studio that is doing this series, there is a slight change in character design and it is slight better then the last two season but the pacing for now seem acceptable but we will see if the pacing will be faster then the first two episodes. Episode two summary will be coming very soon but I can't said for sure it will tomorrow or Monday as I will be busy for the next few days or even the next two weeks due to Lunar New Year. As the area that am living at celebrates it.
