Guideau’s Curse in The Witch and the Beast, Explained

Guideau’s Curse in The Witch and the Beast, Explained

Who cursed who after all?

Summary:

  • Guideau is looking for a witch that cursed her.
  • Her real body is the one in the coffin.
  • Angela trapped Guideau in her body.

The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu) Season 1 is approaching its end: the series will finish airing this week, and it’s still unclear whether this will be the last time we see its characters animated.

Without knowing the story of The Witch and the Beast and by only looking at Ashaf and Guideau, it’s easy to suggest that the man is a beast, and the girl is a witch. However, it’s the other way around.

Guideau’s Curse

Back in Episode 1 of the series we learned that Guideau was cursed by a witch, and she has two bodies. The one that you see in the anime for the most part, and the one that Ashaf is carrying in a coffin.

Episode 10 finally introduced the witch that cursed Guideau, and she turned out to be Angela, one of the most powerful witches in the world. On top of that, the episode reveals that Guideau is occupying the witch’s body.

Guideau used to be a genderless Beast, and her real body is in the coffin. Her original form had immense strength and was incredibly powerful. Guideau’s powers can even be compared to those of the Demon Sword.

Ashaf once said that Guideau was the natural enemy of witches. She was the one capable of defeating them effortlessly no matter how powerful and skilled they were. Such a force was a great danger to witches, so Angela cursed the Beast and transferred it to her own body.

Guideau needs Angela to break the curse, that’s why she’s trying so hard to hunt the witch and force her to lift it. However, other witches can also be of help to her.

We saw it back in Episode 1 and later in Episode 9 that when Guideau kisses another witch, the curse retreats for some time, and Guideau returns to her original body. Still, it’s not for long, so other witches are not enough.

When Guideau finally meets Angela again in Episode 10, she tries to kiss the witch with the hope of breaking the curse, but Angela evades it and tells Guideau that this is not the right time and way to lift the curse. Which means there might be another way to do it in the future.

The Witch and the Beast manga is yet to be finished, and it’s currently on a break, so we don’t know when we’ll finally see whether Guideau will succeed in breaking the curse or not. As of now, she hasn’t done it yet.
