| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Akie! No! T_T OMG! Akie is gone! She has been sent to hell by that SOB piece of $#%#%$#$%#%#%$ sensei! Just because of that and the fact that Enma Ai is not linked to Yuzuki anymoreShe can die for all I care and now I will watch this to see her demise. This is strike three of the animes (the other two are were a certain death in Tytania #13 occurs and certain events that happened in Xam'D #20 concerning Midori) that angered me and this being said if Enma Ai does not die I would like her to stop somehow. Akie is gone and it makes me cry a lot! I suppose Yuzuki now will do something to go to hell. Such a waste! 1.Akie!T_T T_T Akie T_T Akie T_T 1.  |

| HOLY SH**!!! Akie is gone! And I thought they were successful in saving her too until the very last minute! My guess is because the bitch never canceled her contract with Jigoku Shoujo, so Enma Ai had to give the doll back to that bitch. Seriously, what a f**king bitch. She curses the Akie because she hates her dad. Seriously, that's pretty f'ed up (not that we haven't seen similar stuff in this show, but still, this one hurts the most because it's someone we know and actually care about). From my knowledge of Japanese, I'm assuming Enma Ai is now freed from Yuzuki's body because of the whole lantern festival thingy? If so, then I suggest Yuzuki use the Jigoku Tsuushin to send that bitch to hell... seriously. F***, I'm still pissed at Akie being killed off like that. Despite the fact that I used more swear words in this review of an episode more than any other reviews of other episodes, I personally think this is the MOST intense episode of the season so far. If it had my adrenaline pounding like this, I'm really excited to see what they'll do in the last few episodes of Mitsuganae, where the plot supposedly is supposed to be the most intense. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Eh..? Well, finally a turning point of the plot. What will happened from here will be interesting to see. |

| O.O....this is probably best episode so far to me..., before i was kinda meh..on most of the third season... |

I hope they're not gonna do a "plot" episode, then go back to the standard revenge stories until like episode 20 something to finish up the season. I don't know... judging from the preview, there's a chance it will return to the standard revenge thing >.< Oh well, I'd still watch it nonetheless. |
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Yuzuki! Get revenge by killing that bish! D< |
 |
| This ep is just WOW ! |
 |
| i guess you can use jigoku so long as you haven't pulled the string to change your target of hatred. that was wrong though, akie didn't do anything. this show's worn out, if they go back to grudge fest, which it looks like they are, ill just skip to 20 or something. |

| The only thing that keeps this serie from being a masterpiece is the lack of a continued story. Some episodes (especially the first 10 or so from each season) seem to be stand alone kinda episodes. Short story based on Jigoku Shoujo rumors and BAM! it's over. I really loved what they did in season 1 with the freelance journalist and his daughter. They kinda missed that deal with season 2, unfortunately, and tried to pull off the same trick in a very tempered way. Even this season seems to be hold together due to that Yuzuki girl. But then again, since Ai got seperated from her... UGH no more solid base for a continued story! That's all I have to say. |
| ★♥ マイケル ♥★ "If you obey the rules - You miss all the fun" [Kumashiro Maya]  |
| Well shit. Now what are they going to do with the story? |
| ok this was kinda .....a great episode even if i didnt expected akie to vanish justlike that so Ai is out of zuzui so what is going to happen from now on im retty sure this will the start of te plot but... wasnt AI inside susuki because she didnt a body..so where the hell does she got that new body...pretty sure waniudo maked something to get the body but AAAAAAAAAAAAA¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ i´ll have to wait  |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Okay, i watched this on saturday night and only typing this now.. well, to be honest, it was too much to take down in one episode.. i guess this is supposed to be the climax for mitsuganae.. either ways, it will go round and round again like the 1st and 2nd season.. wat's going round and round? the hatred ring of course.. Enma Ai receives her body from Hell, and leaves Yuzuki's body Yuzuki loses her best friend, right in front of her! well, it was already quite clear who would be sent this episode from the teacher's way of speaking.. of course the most painful way to live life is without our loved ones'.. so in matters of cliche, mitsuganae has gone over the line.. it would get utterly boring if they continually repeat this style.. however, as the climax for mitsuganae, it was quite entertaining, and makes you wonder wat's going to happen next.. of course, Yuzuki is super-angry and depressed now.. but is she brave enough to take on the city? if the trend from season 1 and 2 is going to continue, they'll need to make a very good impression, or season 3 will be no more than a waste of time.. |
| Hmmm so there's a link between all the curses of this third season : Saigawara city, which is the city closest to Hell. Not a bad idea actually, let's see where this leads us, especially with the great ending of episode we had. Welcome back Enma Ai, and I hope Yuzuki will step up a bit and do what she's supposed to do. I'm waiting for the next ep now (and we see a Nyanko-sensei plushie too in the preview ;)). |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Has anyone noticed that Tsugumi appeared in this episode ? She was referred to as Shibata-sensei and she also was the one that stopped Yuzuki from going to hell. Enma Ai is back,although I don't really understand why she isn't linked anymore to Yuzuki. And I can't believe that Akie got sent to hell.Very unfair since she was completely innocent.All in all,this episode was the most heartbreaking of all,and I think that the real plot begins now. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |

I didn't really notice it, but yes, I suppose you're right; that "Shibata" sensei just might be Tsugumi. Wow, then if that's the case, many years have passed since the first two seasons. I'm sure everyone agrees that Akie was innocent. Even though people like her has been sent to hell before, we were all heartbroken because this time, it's a person that we actually care about. |
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Heartbreaking episode, but really well done turning point. The series just got a whole lot more interesting~ |
    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
| I don't understand. -.- \but great nontheless. |
    |
| gah so sad when Akie disappeared like that T_T |
 |

     |
| God damnit, not Akie??? Why do i fell like this show is showing more and more, that bad guys/gals sending good guys/gals to hell is FAIR and SQAURE??? Jigoku Shoujo is going down the road of my ranking... She just sends random good and innocent people into hell just from the hatred of the guys that really deserves to be there... if this something like that really did exist, the world would become baldy in mean of humans and the only humans left, would be scum of the earth! it started in season 2 and season 3 is getting more of a joke, give akie back god damnit! F*** Y** jigoku shoujo, you god damn coldhearted bi***!!!!!! You borrowed Yuzukis body without asking, you took her thru all that pain and suffering and this is how you pay her back? GO TO HELL! I hope you will be held responsible for all the suffering and sadness you bring to the world... |

| lol damn, i'm kinda stupid XD at first i thought Akie disappeared because Yuzuki touched her hand or something XP but then i realized the slut pulled the string so you know... shit happnes >.> |
 |
| This one left a bitter aftertaste, but that's what made it even more enjoyable than the previous ones. Also, poor Yuzuki, having to suffer all that. |
| Uguu, Akie is gone ;_______; Poor Yuzuki-chan. Akie didn't do anything wrong and still she was send to hell. And I liked her really much ! ~~ Hopefully the plot really starts soon n______n |
     |
| Fucking piece of shit teacher. I thought Yuzuki got the doll from her? So, she accessed the site twice? AND WTF? WAS THAT TSUGUMI? IS SHE A GHOST NOW? SHE LIKES TO DISAPPEAR A LOT MAN. FUCK AKIIEEEEE. Go Yuzuki, judging from her eyes when it suddenly transformed, I think Yuzuki will become Jigoku Shoujo herself. |
| She FINALLY saved some1!!! but she lost akie... what a bummer!!! she lost both of her best friends cuz of hell girl XP i feel soooo bad 4 her!!! |
 |
| Ai is finally back! :-)! Next eps are going to be awesome! |
| cool episode! :D form now I'm interested how it ends :) |
| lightness vs. darkness Nani mo kamo wo hoshigatteita Mayoeru mono no chikai Mada miru sekai o tsukuridasu koto Kuchi hateteiku |
| Why did they have to go and kill Akie? Hmm.. maybe plot episodes are starting earlier this series, but still.. Now Yuzuki is all on her own. D: |
 If you don't remember something, it never happened. If you aren't remembered, you never existed. <3 |
| Poor Yuzuki. =/ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Akie was a char I liked a lot T.T why? omg This kind of situation makes me really mad it was not her fault ugh I am really angry now This season it's like of people not deserving to go to hell going and watching that makes me angry :/ I am angry and sad I just want Yuzuki to start stoping people of send people to hell. |
| Another episode that I can't vote... but I'm sure now. |
| This is for sure the best episode from Mitsuganae this far. I didn't imagine it would be so good! I mean - whoah, this is one of the few episodes(either from Futukamori & Mitsuganae) that I can say deserves to exist under the title of Jigoku Shoujo, in other words - episode that continues Season 1 in the best possible way. It somehow reminded me about episode 13 from Season 1 - back then it was turning point in its own way too. I really expected to see something like this again, but I didn't hope for this good episode. I can't say there's something I dislike about this episode, but still I really can't stay on my seat after seeing Ai being freed from Yuzuki's body. Many people expected this episode to explain what happened to her and why she's using Yuzuki's body, but I think we got really more than anyone could possibly hope for! After she lost her best friend, Yuzuki will for sure play more of an important role now, and I'm sure we'll see her character build up. When Yuzuki was in the mansion(when shew was saving Akie) she really resembled Hajime while trying to discourage the bitch about her having revenge. This resemblance really gave me even more faith in Mitsuganae. I really love how they explained what are all these lanterns that were going with the Hell's river flow. It somehow helped me remember Season 1 and in some magical way it connected it with Mitsuganae. Irreplaceable... The OST is getting really great in this episode too... But what really helped me build most faith about Mitsuganae was Tsugumi's appearance. I wasn't even hoping to see some of the Shibatas again, but now I feel like this episode is enough for the whole Mitsuganae, considering myself. I feel a bit sad about her being grown up now, but I guess it can't be helped. Time really passes faster than we can imagine =\ |

This resemblance really gave me even more faith in Mitsuganae. My thoughts exactly. I was like, "Hey, this is a Hajime moment! ...Aw, now I miss him." Meritas said: But what really helped me build most faith about Mitsuganae was Tsugumi's appearance.

I feel a bit sad about her being grown up now, but I guess it can't be helped. Time really passes faster than we can imagine =\ I, for one, was definitely hoping the Shibatas would show up again. Someone in an earlier episode thread mentioned something about one of the teachers being Tsugumi, which at this point I don't know if that was a spoiler or a good guess; but I'm coming to the belief that it is definitely her, which I still wouldn't have thought about had it not been for this discussion thread. But yes, I agree. It's crazy to see her grown up now. Hajime was always my fave. ♥ Otherwise, while most people are freaking over Akie's disappearance, I can't help but be all questioning what happened in the rest of the episode. Yes, I found Akie's disappearance quite a shock, saddening, and had my mouth dangling open for several minutes when it happened, but that almost felt like the least surprising thing on my mind. I mean, Enma's separated from Yuzuki now! Supposedly? It certainly looked that way, though Yuzuki's eyes did flash red for a moment, so I'm slightly confused. And maybe I'm eating up the fact that Shibata-sensei is probably Tsugumi, which gets me super excited and kind of overshadows what's going on in Yuzuki's life - for me, anyway. But I really liked this episode and it's one of my favorites so far. I honestly thought the police chief would be the one who got sent to hell, to make Akie suffer more, but eh. I'm a sucker for delusion, I guess. |

| An episode that once again proves the inevitable future in the Jigoku Shoujo series. Even if you think you've stopped the revenge, someone will still be sent to hell. Too bad it was Yuzuki's best friend, but it was predictable - the whole episode was centered on her a bit too much for her to stay alive. This episode also gave me some explanations about the whole series. So, Ai is back in her own body now? I really hope so, because that would make the series better in my opinion - I just couldn't stand how she was climbing out of Yuzuki. |
SecretNobody said: When they were running towards each other I figured one of them was gonna disappear D: But why would she send Akie to hell? Why not the drunk guy, Akie's father, or the prosecutor/whatever? Either it was meant to be fucked up, or they just wanted to put a plot twist in the show.. Also, I don't get why that sensei was trying to get Akie raped? o.o sensi wanted akie father to feel real pain death wasnt enough she wanted something to happen to the person he treasured most and that just happened to be his daughter |
| oh i forgot AI IS BACK YAY!!!! i feel so sad akie had to die but it was predictable... HAJIME DAUGHTER!!! oh i miss him so much shibata family ftw |
| What a great episode we're now in the half of the season and finally we've got some more progress with the main story! So now Ai left Yuzuki will she still be a part of this story well I do hope so, she was an interesting asset to it! I knew it when they where running that Akie was going to disappear! Quite a sad moment and what a horrible person to do so! Either way this was a great episode and up to the final 13 episodes! |
 |
| Very nice episode! Shibata is back as an adult, so it might been 2 decade's has pass. Ai receive her own body once again, through the festival event. Akie, sadly she got sent to hell by the tutor, who was suppose to send the father, but she changed her target. Will Yuzuki save her friend somehow? PLOT DEVICE, where are you, when we need you! |
 |
| shit's about to get real... yuziki is so damn likeable too... would wife/10 (no pedo) |
 |
| Somehow, I saw this coming a mile away. As soon as matters became personal for Yuzuki, I felt like a giant red flag was raised signaling imminent death for Akie. Turns out I was right. There was so much win in this episode that all of the mediocre episodes before this are irrelevant. Also, was I the only one who saw Yuzuki's eyes flash red at the end? I'm guessing that this is foreshadowing that she is going to try to get revenge, either with the help of Jigoku Shoujo, or good ol' fashioned murder. Yuzuki was a very likeable character, so I hope she continues to play a part in the rest of the season. It really felt like she was fulfilling the role Tsugumi Shibata from season 1; a role left unfulfilled in season 2. Regardless of what happens, I want to see some serious Yuzuki revenge now. She's too good of a character to simply be thrown away like this. |
