| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It's finally OVER!!! Argh, I need subs NOW! I can't understand what they're saying, for the most part. Takasugi gave up pulling the string... Yuzuki tried to do it herself but got reprimanded by the Lord of Hell (I was wondering what happened to him)... Ai showed Yuzuki who Azusa really is (Yuzuki's mother? Or did she thought she looked like her?)... and one last yuri scene, lmao. Great series, but the series' questions still haven't all been answered. Maybe there will be a fourth season? |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Ai felt for Yuzuki. Since she believes she's just like her. She could of been freed from being Jigoku shoujo, but she took Yuzuki's penalty for trying to send someone to hell without a contract. Now she'll do this job forever. |
| Really? Oh wow, poor Ai. |
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| seriously, what happened to Yuzuki after that. thats the only place I couldnt catch |
 |
dragonshade said: seriously, what happened to Yuzuki after that. thats the only place I couldnt catch She was swept back into the past to not die at the time she was to die? Maybe? Something of time paradox. |
| Can someone translate Yuzuki's last moment with Ai? I didn't quite catch that. Did Ai said something like "Yuzuki, you are me" or something like that? |

| I dont get it why you guys say poor Ai, poor Yuzuki. Uneable to go to heaven(which she deserved), wandering between the two worlds. Being chosen as one of the next Jigoku Shoujo and shown so much suffering and sadness, while living in a complete illusion. Seeing her best friend dissappearing into hell and have to bear with all the pain caused by Ai. She is the only truly sad character in this show, i hope she will find peace in heaven and maybe will be able to meet Akie. oh well, but i neither couldt understand the part between her and Ai so iam also waiting for Subs to fully understand what happens to her.... i just hope for the best. Ai somewhat deserves to go all that suffering, because she doesnt even try to stop sending innocent people to hell on behalf of mostly senseless grudges! i hope that humanity wouldnt sell her souls for this kind of things... at the end, i really like that show and at the same time i hate it like nothing else. It just makes me think about so much, like my own weaknesses and fears... its to hard to explain! |
Jacut said: However, seeing the preview of the next episode I have a feeling that Yuzuki is just another failure of a Jigoku Shoujo that will act by pure revenge and ressentment more than by duty and won't pass the Jigoku test. We may then see Enma Ai again. Just my two cents though. Seems like I predicted the ending very accurately last week (yay I know it was quite easy ;)). At least that means that the reasoning behind the series was good and that the scriptwriters achieved what they wanted to, so that's a pretty good ending, even if a bit predictable and conventional. Overall, the series was exactly at the same level as the first two. Except for the animation and art, the three seasons are pretty much identical from beginning to end in terms of scenario, characters, themes, and overall structure, so it os worth an 8/10 for me. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| so the end has arrived - i think this season has been a let down compared to the other 2 but i still enjoyed it in some way and decent ending |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| decent ending? =/ it was great for me...soo nice, needs a 4. season! |
| I'd like a 4th season, at least they left it open enough to still have one. I was satisfied with the ending, I believe Yuzuki ended up going to heaven, hence the flowers having a different color to them than in hell. |
| Wow loved the last episode, really do hope there is another season someday :D Yuzuki's confrontation with the spider was very cool and the punishment he gives to Ai instead of Yuzuki was pretty harsh, hope Ai doesn't regret that decision lol. Nice to see the Ai and her companions are together again to continue the work, it wouldn't be Jigoku Shoujo without Ai |
 |
| lol i didnt even bother to comprehend what i saw ^-^ good ending though, finally over =D or is it? |
     |
| The last episode was a little weak compared to season two and season one. Surprised by the kiss, though. |
    |
| Oh god... Oo That end just can`t cut it :? I watched 26 eps with the idea that at last Ai will be totally freed and then just like that (so 4th season will be possible) Ai is back and everything is back to normal. YuzukiXAi`s kiss too was unexpected. "You are me...." - go to yuri hell X((( The worst and the most meaningless season so far :? I prefer 2nd season`s ending over this one |
guyklc said: Ai showed Yuzuki who Azusa really is (Yuzuki's mother? Or did she thought she looked like her?) No, Ai just showed Yuzuki what Akie's father saw, which is that Azusa has a sickly father to take care of, which is why Akie's father didn't send her to Hell. The scene of Azusa taking care of her father reminded Yuzuki of her taking care of her sickly mother back when she was still alive. Predseln said: Ai somewhat deserves to go all that suffering, because she doesnt even try to stop sending innocent people to hell on behalf of mostly senseless grudges! You forgot that Ai did stop sending that innocent boy to Hell at the end of last season. And she got punished for it. And remember when Yuzuki asked her whether she thinks about what she's doing, Ai answered "do you think I never think about it?" She's just seen so many of these circumstances that she's numb to it I guess. Also, she knows she has to follow the rules, so she really has no choice but to carry out her duties. I thought Ai disappeared after Yuzuki took over, but I guess her soul is still hanging around somewhere near XD One huuuuge question that remains unanswered: What happened to Hajime-chan?!! Did he die? Was he sent to Hell by someone? Or was he still alive somewhere but not talking to Tsugumi 'cause she was frustrated that he gave up? This ending is... I dunno, some ways good some ways bad. Yuzuki thinks she can judge the world by being Jigoku Shoujo (haha Death Note anyone? XD), which is why she wants to send Azusa to Hell, because she thinks Azusa deserves it. But really, that's not the job of Jigoku Shoujo. and I think in the end, Yuzuki's soul was released from her state and she went to heaven, or the afterlife (though the Hellmaster spider thing offered to send her to Hell, which meant she could've reunited with Akie.. although maybe Akie wouldn't remember her) I'm kinda glad that Ai is back. Because Jigoku Shoujo is not the same without Ai. Yuzuki doesn't look right in that outfit XD Oh, a few more unanswered questions: - Who is Ai's grandmother (the person with the spinning wheel who we only see the silhouette of), and what does she look like XD - How did Ai come back? end of last season she was gone. I thought her soul disappeared to heaven or hell or whatever, and she lost her powers, so how did she get back? |
 |
oh god....why i was like so freacked out to see ai, AI! crying ....now they must give us a 4 season for this and on the other hand i just loved this kiss im greatful because i wake up today to see this:  |
| 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. |
| The ending made me sad. T_T |

     |
| This season was by far the worst of the 3 seasons... The storyline was ok but I couldn't bring myself to rate it higher than a 6. =/ My opinion might change soon and it'll probably go from a 6 to a 7, at most, but I still much preferred the previous seasons, season 1 especially. I also found it more confusing than the others, for example the ending with the stabbing made me WTF. Like the concept of this series and loved finding out that Yuzuki actually died when she was a kid, that was one of the best bits of the series. |
| "LET'S HOSPITAL!" |
EuphoricField said: erastale said: I , too , wonder "What happened to Hajime-chan?" I really want to know this too, its been bugging me this whole season ><! same thing ! i think he died or something >_> |
| Hajime died, which was related somewhat clearly. I think it was implied that he got sent to hell by Jigoku Shoujo, but I'm not too sure. This ending made me um... It was okay. The kiss was like, "l0lwat y r u doin' fanservice???" or whatever that could have been called with the kiss. I found Mitsuganae's ending the most mysterious, but fails in everything else compared to the other two endings.. Futakomori was probably the most interesting. The first season ending was just nice, when Hajime was all like, "It's my fault," and Tsugumi was like, "I DUN CARE." |
| IaMP with me. |
| Hm, I liked this season. It was definitely weaker than Futakomori, but on par with - if not better - than the first. A fourth season is welcome, though they would have to change the concept and focus entirely on the main plot to keep me interested. Mitsuganae gets an 8 from me. |
 |
| I am probably the only being who thinks Mitsuganae is the best of the three seasons. Yes, Mitsuganae's central plot was weak, but the individual storyline were very well written imo. In the first season, most people deserved to go to hell. OK, nothing wrong with that, but it gets repetitive. The central plot was good. Futakomori was really boring except for the last few episodes (Futakmori had very late plot development; Takuma didn't appear until episode 14 or something, and he disappears until the last few episodes). Mitsu, on the other hand, was unafraid in exposing the weak side and frailty of humans. For example, the Inuo chapter where the boy would rather kill the only one who could have helped him instead of facing the truth. Or the Kaito chapter, where the boy would kill his unborn sibling just so he could be surrounded by "false" love with his parents. That's what made me like Mitsuganae better than the other seasons. |
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| I agree with guyklc for the most part. Though I still like Futakomori slightly better. But Mitsu definitely had the best individual stories (: |
| Pretty good for a 3rd season, imo that's enough seasons. Can't really do much about storylines after that. |
| Very good! I believe what now was really the end! Or will I be deceived? |
 |
| Aww...I wanted to see at least 1 more episode with Yuzuki as the Jigoku Shoujo. Rest in peace Yuzuki. T_T |
 |
| So Ai takes the penalty and Yuzuki was freed...then where is Yuzuki now? I agree Ai should be the only Jigoku Shoujo |
| K, honestly, this ending really let me down. I do not understand how some of you people like this ending/season. I really hated that Lord Enma just let someone get away with it AGAIN and just made Ai do her job forever. At first, when Ai said she will take Yuzuki's punishment, I was thinking that she will go to hell instead. But instead, Enma just made it so Ai will just do her job forever. BIG WHOOP, hate will always continue in the world, so she would have done her job forever anyway. You just got ripped off Lord Enma, fuckin big time. Also, WTF happened to Yuzuki? Btw, i really don't like Yuzuki, first off, she makes a horrible Jigoku Shoujo. How the fuck is she destined to become Jigoku Shoujo in the first place? Weak ass boring episode too, IMO. I'll just pretend this season never happened, because this season is all about Yuzuki anyway. This season totally lacked Kikuri-ness too dammit. It was always "Wind me up Yamawaro" and "Ok! Hime!" In the least though, some of the revenge stories were good, that's what keeps this a 6/10. The rest were mostly utterly stupid, pointless ass shit that didn't need the Jigoku Tsuushin. This whole season as a whole was not so great. Now FUTAKOMORI and SEASON ONE, those were endings that kicked so much ass. This is the weakest out of all the three. And there's still no answers from the questions I hoped to be answered: 1. Ai's Grandma? Who the hell is she? WHAT the hell is she? 2. Jigoku Shounen? WTF happened to him? I wanted to see that guy again. 3. Hajime? Did he die, or what? And the irritating piece of shit that is bugging me right now, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO TSUGUMI?!?!? I actually thought she was gonna do something hella cool at the end, but no, SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP AT ALL. Pointless. If they make a fourth season, they better get their shit together. One thing they HAVE to do is shorten this shit to x>20 episodes because, WE DON'T NEED 26 EPISODES TO TELL THIS WEAK ASS STORY. This 26 episode stuff has always been bugging me. |

I was hoping for some huge plot advancement as well, but it seems like they're just keeping this series alive for the fans =/ However, as for why some people like this season, go read the posts again. Many of us have agreed that the individual storyline in this season is the best out of all three. Jigoku Shoujo has evolved to the point where the storyline is not about "revenge" anymore; it's about revealing the frailty of the human mind and spirit (see my previous posts above and a few pages back for more info) ]I really hated that Lord Enma just let someone get away with it AGAIN and just made Ai do her job forever. At first, when Ai said she will take Yuzuki's punishment, I was thinking that she will go to hell instead. But instead, Enma just made it so Ai will just do her job forever. BIG WHOOP, hate will always continue in the world, so she would have done her job forever anyway. You just got ripped off Lord Enma, fuckin big time.[/quote said: Isn't it obvious that Lord Enma never wanted Ai to quit? At least that's what I think. In the second season, Wanyuudo and the others begged him to free Ai. While was free at the Ai, she returned to her post as Jigoku Shoujo. It may be the whole Yuzuki thing was just a set up by the Lord of Hell so that Ai can forever be his servant. ]This season totally lacked Kikuri-ness too dammit. It was always "Wind me up Yamawaro" and "Ok! Hime!" In the least though, some of the revenge stories were good, that's what keeps this a 6/10.[/quote said: I actually like the new Kikuri. I hated the old Kikuri; she caused so much trouble and hatred in the second season that I wanted to kill her (yeah, a child). She provides quite a few comic relief. ]Now FUTAKOMORI and SEASON ONE, those were endings that kicked so much ass. This is the weakest out of all the three.[/quote said: Ending wise, I would have to agree, but please consider the individual storyline. I think they approach a different path; they actually decide to emphasize on the individual storyline and not make them so one dimensional. I find this a refreshing change because the Jigoku Shoujo series is supposedly to be episodic. Episodic series usually do not focus so much on the central plot; it's their unique individual stories that make them so interesting. ]And there's still no answers from the questions I hoped to be answered: 1. Ai's Grandma? Who the hell is she? WHAT the hell is she? 2. Jigoku Shounen? WTF happened to him? I wanted to see that guy again. 3. Hajime? Did he die, or what?[/quote said: 1. I'm wondering that too 2. Lol, I don't think most people care about him. It's not like he's supposed to come back. The crap he uttered on the boat was similar to what everyone says when they're on it. 3. It is implied that he did, or at the very least, not in this world. ]And the irritating piece of shit that is bugging me right now, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO TSUGUMI?!?!? I actually thought she was gonna do something hella cool at the end, but no, SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP AT ALL. Pointless.[/quote said: If you would quit bashing this episode so much, you would realized she DID show up. She just gave up hope. I'm sorry if you didn't get your cliched "happily ever after" ending with grown-up Tsugumi saving the day. I think adult Tsugumi giving up hope shows a transition to maturity. It's like how children naively believe they will be the next ones to end all suffering in life. When they grow up and experience things for themselves though, they realized it's not possible and instead, move on to more rational goals. |
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This was epic. Yuzuki finally can be at peace now since she wasn't suppose to be alive anyways. Ai becoming the Jigoku Shoujo in the end, season 4 anyone? XD EPIC EPIC EPIC. We need some more background on Ai's grandma and that hell spider. Probably they're married or something? XD SO SAD, IT ENDED >:( |
| This Was Great The Best Jigoku Shoujo Yet!!!!....Hopeing For A Season 4 |
 |
| Great episode. But I didn't get it at all. What happened with Yuzuki? Is she alive again? Cause she was smiling in that mirror and it looked like she was wearing her school uniform... Maybe her high school uniform? I dunno. Could someone explain? |
 |
| yeah,i wanna about it too.... what happen to yuzuki actually?? did she die or alive??? well it is a good ending... |
 |
| hehe i love emma ai!!! X3 shes soooooo nice!!! i cant believe yazuki... she really needed 2 have self control or something... anyway im glad Emma Ai is back in that business XD i feel bad that she has 2 do it 4 eternity though!!! XP eh i wish there were more seasons!!! YAY AI!!! haha |
 |
| I hate it, that Anime should be renamed to 'Retards show', as almost ALL of one-episode-characters were just dumb as hell. Just like these episodes themselves. Seriously, there's nothing even close to real world in that anime, all the one-episode stories are just hopeless. Why I watched all 3? Because of Enma Ai, she's just awesome.Straw dolls were well-done characters also, my god, watching all these 3 series just for these few characters and 'endings of each serie' which were good.. That was hard! Yuzuki was damn annoying, I liked her only as a Jigoku Shoujo and as a kid. Too bad we didn't get a proper answer to what happened to her after all this. Uhh I was so hoping that the third serie would be awesome and all, but all I got was a proper ending, too bad. |
