Something I’m really curious about is Guideau’s past, and why exactly Ashaf is so intent on helping them.
During the Four Levels Below arc, when Guideau and Ashaf are imprisoned, it opens with Guideau having a dream.
The question is, who is talking to who, is it Guideau telling Anna/Anya to run? Or is it perhaps an interaction that they witnessed? Is the dream itself linked to where Guideau is, or is it the apparent nightmare that has persisted up until the cursed object/Seed-Child in the Nameless Seed arc slipped into Guideau’s bed?
This scene itself brings up another question:
If the seed-child feeds on magic, and isn’t really a person but a cursed object, does that mean its feeding on Guideau’s dreams/nightmares?
Although, i doubt that anyone besides the satue is actually aware of Guideau’s dreams.
Considering we know the circumstances of how Ashaf and Guideau met, I’m interested in learning why exactly Ashaf is so keen on helping Guideau, outside of his own curiosity. He goes above and beyond to help them, and this is made obvious primarily in the Four Levels Below arc, where he overwrote his own brain to get them back.
And even before that, when he realized Angela had tricked Guideau into seeking her out.
I have a theory, albeit something very unlikely.
I think that Guideau has some form of amnesia, they keep having these dreams, but don’t truly seem to understand why, and their general lack of understanding of things that most would seem natural. They are beastial in nature, but in their original body they still have sentience and a humanoid form.
So I think Ashaf met Guideau at some point, and Guideau doesn’t remember because of their amnesia.
It’s easy to say that we know Guideau’s main goals, get revenge/kill Angela, return to their original body, but we know nothing of what lead up to this.
And, like stated previously, we don’t know why Ashaf has decided to help them.
It could be for something for his own gain, or what I think it is, he has some connection to Guideau that the audience has not been privy to.
And while yes there have several implications made by both Ashaf and the people around him and Guideau, what feelings Ashaf harbors for Guideau are. I would say, unknown.
Whatever it is that happened between Angela and Guideau, I wonder if Guideau even remembers anything before the body switch happened.
Given their lack of social understanding, not knowing what is happening in their dreams/nightmares which seem to be flashbacks, and the fact that Ashaf has had to teach them several things about just being a person, if that makes sense.
Anyway, uhhh thats my sorta theory? I guess? Mix of theory and analysis i suppose.

I have a theory that the first 5 vols of majo to yajuu are gonna get animated
Mainly bc thats a good stopping point (imo) for the anime, and it’s when we get properly introduced (well sort of) to Angela, yknow. The main antagonist.
It wouldn’t make sense for us to see Guideau and Angela meet for the first time in however long, and then end, bc there’s not really any sort of fight between them, given Guideau’s condition, but it also doesn’t make sense for us to not see her at all.
plus it leaves a decent amount of material for a s2 if it gets greenlit for it.
WHAT MY HOPEFUL THINKING LEADS TO HOWEVER IS ASHAF TELLING GUIDEAU THAT HE WANTS TO TEACH THEM WHAT LOVE IS AND THAT BEING ANIMATED MIGHT JUST KILL ME
Its such a turning point (imo) for their relationship
Like ik for a fact that the 4 levels below arc wont get animated (in s1), if we’re lucky we’ll get a sneak peak of it, but goddddd im really hoping we see Ashaf and Guideau meeting at the least
