Tsukinami revealed on Twitter/X this unnamed character was a Flying Head Demon. As you can see she has stitches around her neck, and the silhouette shows her detached head flying in the air. He referred to her as a “Chinese Yōkai”. Sounds like the Spirit Realm could be welcoming any friendly anomalies from across the globe.

…….. maybe it’s because I’m jumping back in again, but creepypasta?

They’ve been around since Chapter 11. They’re called “Net Lore” in JP, essentially Japanese Creepypasta. I would’ve used Urban Legend but this manga already used it more than once as a synonym even in JP.

I felt Creepypasta was a much more fitting name for them since they’re the “New & Modern Kids” on the Anomaly block.

I hope that the MC doesn't decide to let the villain escape and constantly do worse and worse to both human and yokai just because its a human and he's only massacred Yokai.

I think for right now Tōjurō’s aiming for the staff since it seems to be spawning & controlling the Creepypastas. Freeing the Yōkai is kind of a top priority. If freed, I feel the Yōkai are going to have a great time returning that guy’s “kindness in full” (if Suzune allows it, I hope he does).

Behemoth's "system" is probably just gonna activate some plot device lighting effect that'll separate all the yokai from the creepypastas or something.

She kinda already did with the Sea Serpent. It wouldn’t surprise me if that happens. Though, I feel destroying the new guy’s staff may play a part as well.

I was thinking it was the cube thing shown at the end of the previous chapter, so it probably isn't over with just the staff... unless the cube changed into the staff off panel?

I'm assuming the cube things are directly controlled by the staff, since it has a similar aura with all those black characters that initially infected Behemoth and were swirling around the cubes.
And, it looks like there's a similar construct at the head of the staff, making it potentially a nexus point so this guy can control everything from wherever he is.

Destroy the staff, destroy the nexus point, turn off all the cubes - and maybe it'll render the Creepypasta "inert", if not outright destroy them, which should hopefully save & return the consumed yokai.

-

I'm more than assuming the antagonist will escape--no shot this dude isn't going to be a recurring villain, unless he's somehow a random low-/mid-tier mob taking orders from some higher entity, which would make him much more expendable.

But like @TL-Law said, saving the yokai takes priority. So.
