Spice & Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf has reached a highly anticipated part of the new reboot anime series, and the newest episode has revealed Holo's overhauled transformation debut! Spice & Wolf has been in the midst of a major anime revival in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the original series, and with the first few episodes fans have been treated to an updated take on the classic anime adaptation. But as the series has been working through its first real arc, there have been big moments in the original that fans have wanted to see in action again after all this time. 

Spice & wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf Episode 6 has reached the end of Lawrence and Holo's first major conflict, and with it has also made the big debut of Holo's highly anticipated transformation into her full god form. It's a much different take on the transformation than seen in the original anime adaptation from decades ago, and fans are still debating whether or not the changes made are good ones. For a good comparison. @BrandonBVarnell has shared a cool clip on X that shares how Holo's transformation came to life in both anime releases. Check it out:
