After the transformation, Noel and Ninny confronted Osushi in his altered state, and soon after, Shelby also underwent a Dragon transformation. Noel successfully managed to revert Osushi back to his original state. This event in Burn the Witch 0.8 provided fans with background information on how Osushi became a Dark Dragon.

In "Reverse London," one of London's two dimensions, mythical beings known as dragons can only be seen. These dragons are safeguarded by the West Branch of Soul Society, also called Seireitou. Dark Dragons form when a regular dragon absorbs the excess negative emotions of a human, and are identifiable by their small underbelly, two huge wings, and four thick limbs.

The primary goal of the West Branch of Soul Society in London is to eradicate the Dark Dragons, who have an insatiable desire to harm and kill humans. These creatures pose a significant threat and are dealt with by the Seireitou.

One exception to this rule is Osushi, who is permitted to live because it has the ability to transform into a dog. Known as the Dragon Dog, Osushi is kept within the Reverse London dimension using the Fence Collar.
