Uzumaki Episode 1 recap

Uzumaki Episode 1 begins as Kirie Goshima heads to the Kurouzu train station to meet Shuichi Saito, her boyfriend. As they walk, Shuichi reveals his desire to flee town due to the increasing influence of spirals.

He recounts how his father, Toshio, became obsessed with spirals, commissioning a large tub and eventually contorting his body into a spiral within it, leading to his death. His family claimed he died falling down stairs.

During his cremation, spiral-shaped black clouds formed Toshio’s face before disappearing into Dragonfly Pond, traumatizing Shuichi’s mother. Her phobia of spirals escalated in Uzumaki Episode 1, leading her to cut off her fingertips.

Shuichi also reacted strongly to Azami, a girl with a crescent-shaped scar that seemed to attract people. Azami’s scar began spiraling, consuming her and a nearby admirer. Another subplot followed Takayama, a slow student at Kirie’s school, who was bullied after revealing a spiral-shaped growth on his back.
