Look, I get it, Chota's infatuation with En is mostly played for laughs (I am starting to send the story is trying to subtle hint that Chota MIGHT be gay, but I don't want to jump to conclusions 🤔); and I get that En is technically the villain of the story so far, and he's a violent gangster and all...

But that moment of realization that En has died, the moment his magic disappeared, and having the realization come from someone who loves him, in an episode where Chota just happened to have a serious conversation with En. It was kind of sad. I felt bad.

En is such an amazing character, and has been such a presence not just in the series but in the entire world of sorcerers, that this moment hit really hard.

Was I the only one who felt that way?

It's been a few weeks since I've finished season 2 so I may be a bit hazy on other things, but there is one thing I remember that I still don't understand/was very confused by.

Without spoilers (let me know if it's explained later on): What is Curse? Is it a sentient entity distinct from Risu? My understanding is that it was the man inside Caiman's mouth (that looks like Risu), who then returns to Risu when En killed Caiman? (or Ebisu died?) Also he tells Caiman/Aikawa I'm not the one who killed your or something like that which I didn't get.

but more important question, why/how did it steal Caiman's head and somehow get to Sorcer world, leave it there, and then return inside Caiman's body. That part I really didn't understand, looking back I would've thought that hospital scene in S1 was Kai taking over Caiman's body. There's other scenes like that (such as when Nikaido under En's contract was fighting Caiman and was then attacked by someone else), that I'm not sure now if it was Kai or Curse.

Long time manga reader and this question may have already been answered, but, where does exactly the story takes place? Yeah, I know, "Hole". But is it a city that's part of a larger country? Is it also plagued by sorcerers? According to the story Hole is the place sorcerers go to have fun and to practice but why are they not expanding? Why nobody even thinks of moving out of the city where you are just target practice by dimensional psychopaths?

At least in the sorcerer world I get there are several more places but in general all locations in the manga feel hazy at best.
