Hardcore Teen Wolf fans are currently in various stages of re-watching the series
as we prepare for the release of Teen Wolf: The Movie on January 26 on Paramount Plus.
But for the casual viewer or champion procrastinators like myself,
watching all 100 episodes is just too daunting a task to consider in the few weeks we have left.
So here are the four episodes you absolutely need to see before watching the new Teen Wolf movie.
Silverfinger Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 17
Chris: The Yakuza bos was my first gun deal, I was only 18. It was supposed to be a simple exchange
except Gerard left out the minor detail of the buyers being Yakuza.
While this is a tense episode, it is short on action and long on explication, which is
exactly what you need before revisiting some of the same creatures and characters in the new film.
Aiden: So what are you?
Derek: She's a kitsune, idiot.
Use your eyes. You can see it all around her.
The younger ones give off an aura.
She just hasn't learned how to conceal it yet.
Thanks to an old associate of Chris Argent,
you'll get the lowdown on the Oni warriors and the chaotic Nogitsune that we call Void.
Katashi: if there nogitsune among you, let the Oni destroy it
even if it is your own daughter.
If you're only going to watch one episode this should be it so you'll
have at least a working knowledge of what they're dealing with in the new film.
The Fox and the Wolf ( Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 21)
is almost a standalone flashback episode from this story arc.
It covers how the Nogitsune got here and how Noshiko Yukimura
and Satomi Ito stopped it the first time around.
it also delves into how the Nogitsune was captured and imprisoned for 70 years and how it escaped.
Noshiko: I buried the jar deep within the roots of the nemeton.
It was their sacrifice that brought its power back.
A key element of the movie is Allison Argent's return to Beacon Hills,
so watching Insatiable (Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 23)
may be one of the most important things you could do
as evidenced by how much of this episode is included in the movie's trailer.
Lydia: Cancel my 2 o'clock and hold all my calls.
PA: Are you going to be in a meeting?
Lydia: Yeah, kind of.
Allison!
She's here.
This also includes nogitsune's takeover of
these Oni which could be very important in the new movie.
Void Stiles: Now they belong to me.
Finally, you should definitely watch the Divine Move (Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 24)
This episode shows how the Nogitsune was finally stopped and captured back in 2011.
And if you think about the movie from the perspective of the villain - the movie picks
up directly after this moment when someone new releases the Nogitsune from his jar.
Nogitsune: Do you want retribution
against him
his friends
everyone he loves?
Set me free.
