| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kind of saw that one coming. Nothing special here. |
 |
| I didn't see that coming. This was a par episode, nothing too special about it. |
| kinda predictable |
| Very disappointing compared to the last couple of episodes. |
 |
| I find this episode good. So, the mother was not that bad. She can't just express her inner feelings because maybe she has a pride or something but still, she's not that bad. I came with this conclusion after I saw the pebble in the last scene. She really treasured it with her whole heart. |
| i thought it was really nice of her 2 keep the pebble thingy and everything but i wish she would except that rina wasnt hers and she was in that world... or at least express her feelings with love!!! idk the grandma wasnt that bad but still she annoyed me X3 |
 |
| i just don't get why she couldn't let go of it. some people are just strange. |
| This episode made me sad. :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Hmmp not bad... The beginning with them having to take care of her was similar to something that happened to my family, so i suppose i know how the girl felt o_O |

His desire to have a child was slightly stronger than his desire to stay completely faithful to his wife- something he ended up regretting, as it pushed them apart, which is something he never wanted.i just don't get why she couldn't let go of it. some people are just strange. agreed. i can't imagine it getting better, even if decades were to pass. trust is an invaluable, immeasurable bond that can't be broken and simply mended with time. i feel sorry for Michiyo |
| this was a sad one |
| Quite a sad story if you ask me, especially that token she gave to her fake mother! But yea definitely a nice episode! |
 |
| Not as good as the previous two episodes, but still quite impressive. This was quite normal episode on the usual Jigoku Shoujo scale but it still had this unique sad feeling to it that other episodes don't have. Next episode seems to give more light to Wanyuudou's past, finally :) Looking forward to it! <3 |
 |
| So so episode. The grandma doesn't hate Rina, but what she represented from the father. She tested the old man and he failed, true, but she also crossed the line. Just for a test, she trigger the birth of Rina. and on the side. That boyfriend was not husband material and he was happy about being an adult. |
 |
| women logic..... not even once... |
 |
| Normal episode meh. |

Agreed. And in the end, his desire for his daughter's happiness wins out against his guilt towards his wife. It's very sad but his daughter > his wife in every aspect. |
| Haha im not gonna lie I didn't see that coming. |
| She cannot forgive him? Why can't she acknowledge it was her idea for him to have baby with another woman. It's totally her own fault and deserves to go to hell. Who the hell would "test" people like that. |
 |
| Wait, I thought two people couldn't have a bid for the same person to send to Hell? |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| nice episode and again no hell scene but for this time it was okay the story of this episode was good enough:) |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| Good episode. Nothing special. Hopefully we see some more character development sometime soon. That mother was such an ungrateful bitch. No punishment scene :( Sad that Ai's subordinates didn't get any screentime during this case. |
| Beats me why the father had to sent her to Hell and not to a hospital or something. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| i think that the girls logic at the end was a bit stupid she hated me, she never smiled, she left me, she depended on me without even being grateful, she was rude to me, she expected me to worship her, she blames her own adoptive daughters birth for everything when it was her own idea to have me but its okay she's a good person cuz she has f*cking pebble ps - sooo did her husband have any relevance to the plot or nah |

| This episode was awesome..... it seriously made me cry that none of the other episodes did...,,,The moral was that she never got to know her mothers inner feelings and wanted to send her to hell although it is natural for any mother to oppose her daughter although she tried to love her ......it was just whole mixed up...I think it was wrong for them to send her to hell. |
| This episode was interesting enough...quite a sad story |
| Screw this anime. Screw Ai. Screw everything. |
| I think that the reason why Michiyo was unable to accept Rina as her husband's child (despite being her own idea) is due to self-resentment. Everytime she sees Rina, it would remind her of her own flaws; which is the inability to bear children for her husband. Michiyo might possibly felt skeptical whether both her husband & Rina will love and accept her as their family member, assuming that she was an outcast for being biologically unrelated to a child that she should treat dearly as her own daughter. |
| Peridot is my favorite Crystal Gem. |
| Geez. She doesn't deserve to go to hell. |

| Was a pretty good episode.. Poor father though |
 |
| meh episode. "Mother" deserved this hell. |

I like your interpretation. That token bit at the end of the episode got to me somewhat. |
| Two good episodes in a row? Call me surprised! I like this theme of parents sacrificing themselves for their children. |
| Bad episode tbh. It was predictable, though that ending where she found that button was good. But I could have lived happily without watching this episode. Too many useless episodes imo. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Ok that was...weird. Not much else to add. |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
