Guideau Is Anime's Newest Witch Hunter
Guideau is the main character of The Witch and the Beast. She is the blonde young girl who works with Ashaf in the Order of Magical Resonance, which deals with all manners of magic-related troubles.
However, Guideau is only forcing herself to work with Ashaf to make progress with her original mission.
In reality, Guideau is not interested in other creatures or monsters, and she would only help Ashaf out as long as there’s a witch involved in their mission.
Guideau is characterized by her irritable and aggressive behavior. She always acts impulsively instead of thinking rationally about the mission at hand.
She is not the type of girl who would do what other people want her to do but rather act on her own accord and instinct.
When fighting, Guideau doesn’t show any fear for her opponent. She is very resilient, even though her body lacks the experience she had with her original body.
Unfortunately, Guideau can’t return to her original body because of the mark on her neck.
Guideau needs to find the person responsible for her complicated situation to get her freedom, not only from the witches but also from Ashaf and the Order.
So, Why Does Guideau Hate Witches?
The main reason Guideau hates witches is because one of them put a curse on her, as evident from the mark on her neck. This curse is difficult to undo, even though there are more than two ways to break its spell.
Guideau hates witches so much to the extent that she generalizes them as harbingers of disaster and misfortune.
She believes that all witches are evil. She is unbelievably rude toward them and she wants to sucker punch and bash their brains whenever she faces one of them.
There is nothing in the world that Guideau wants more than to find the witch who cursed her.
All of these explain why Guideau will vanquish any witch in sight without giving it a second thought.
The Witch and the Beast is now streaming on Crunchyroll with subtitles. This thriller and dark fantasy anime has been listed with 12 episodes, running for a single cour.
