Unexpected Betrayal Shocks Fans Of Mahou Tsukai Precure

Yamoh's turn against the Precures leaves audiences stunned after dramatic Episode 10.

The recent episode of the anime series "Mahou Tsukai Precure!! ~MIRAI DAYS~" has sent shockwaves through its fanbase following its surprising plot twist. The tenth episode, which aired on March 15, 2025, sees the beloved character Yamoh suddenly turn against the Precure team during what should have been their moment of triumph.

Yamoh, voiced by Seiko Takato, who initially appeared to ally with the magical guardians to fight against their formidable enemy, Chronaust (voiced by Shinichiro Miki), displays shocking treachery. This unexpected betrayal has left audiences gasping, especially considering Yamoh's previous role. Previously known as Dokuroxy's right-hand man, Yamoh was at odds with the Precures during the earlier series. But after the defeat of Dokuroxy, which marked the end of their conflict, Yamoh teamed up with the protagonists to confront new threats and preserve the magical world.

The episode, titled "Following the Scars," was particularly notable for the dramatic turn of events. While collaborating with the Precures to defeat Chronaust, Yamoh suddenly declares, "I won't let you interfere!" binding his allies and demanding Chronaust to send him back to the past. This scene was both shocking and heartbreaking, as it reveals Yamoh's yearning to reconnect with his former master, Dokuroxy. His plea, screaming, "Please let me see Dokuroxy again! I need him!" resonates deeply, illustrating the complexity of his character and motivations.

This betrayal stands out as one of the most shocking moments within the show's narrative, prompting viewers to express their disbelief and emotions. Social media platforms lit up with reactions, comments saying things like, "I can't believe this betrayal..." and "Why would you do this, Yamoh?" reflecting fans' attachment to the character and disappointment surrounding his unexpected actions.

"Mahou Tsukai Precure!! ~MIRAI DAYS~" is more than just a follow-up to the original series, which aired back in 2016. It immerses viewers years after the resolution of the previous storyline, now focusing on 20-year-old Mirai (voiced by Rie Takahashi) and 19-year-old Riko (voiced by Yui Horie). The two face fresh adversities threatening both the magical world and the Nashimahou world.

Episode 10 does not merely focus on character development; it also explores the dire circumstances affecting the magical community. Characters have been petrified under the shadows of the multiplying Chronaust, which adds urgency to Mirai and Riko's mission. Upon learning of significant petrification incidents back home, they resolve to return to the Nashimahou world, using Yamoh’s magic to teleport to Tsuguru Town, where new disappearances are occurring.

Mirai theorizes about Chronaust's mysterious powers, questioning the potential for him to operate between realms—indicating he could be hiding within the 'narrow world', the space between the magical and regular realms. This suspenseful subplot enriches the narrative, as characters rally to confront not only their former ally’s betrayal but also the impending danger posed by Chronaust.

The intensity heightens as Mirai and her friends aim to stop Chronaust from awakening. Yet, with Yamoh's startling change of allegiance, the situation plunges headlong toward chaos. Just before the climax, as Chronaust ominously proclaims, "All time will stop," the stakes rise dramatically for everyone involved.

This episode forces audiences to reevaluate the very nature of alliances and loyalties within the narrative. Yamoh's treachery isn't merely for shock value; it sparks discussions about his emotional turmoil, his relationship with Dokuroxy, and the duality of characters traditionally depicted as good or evil.

Given the animated world's themes of friendship, courage, and trust, viewers are left pondering whether redemption for Yamoh is possible. Through this unexpected character arc, "Mahou Tsukai Precure!!" cleverly weaves moral ambiguity and complex emotional threads, making each episode more engaging and thought-provoking.

With fans still reeling from Yamoh's actions, future episodes will undoubtedly draw viewers in as they anticipate how the creators will navigate the fallout from this betrayal. The character dynamics are bound to shift as Mirai and Riko must now confront not just the opposing forces, but also the rifts within their team.

Episode 10 is emblematic of the show's ability to blend wonder with intense drama, enticing audiences to continue along this magical and unpredictable narrative adventure. The rich storytelling combined with the captivating animation will keep fans hopeful for resolution, growth, and the possibility of forgiveness as the series progresses.

"Mahou Tsukai Precure!! ~MIRAI DAYS~" continues to defy expectations, pushing the boundaries of character development and plot twists, ensuring its place as a beloved installment within the Precure franchise.
