Nothing beats sending them to Hell with your own 2 hands. Not even jail time can beat the adrenaline rush..

Lol. Season 1's opening song was used as a theme song in the bowling alley. I love that song too.

Damn at the fat guy that's going to kill the rapist.
and how was Enma Ai turned down? I didn't get that part.

Did Kiwako die?


Judging by what he said and how she disappeared after she was so sad I'm guessing she committed suicide

What a fucking loser.
You're too pussy to TELL her and leave her to get raped while justifying it in your mind
but then you want to go murder the rapist after, like you're some hero?
As if doing something after will heal the hurt of rape and on top of that,
the girl had more balls than you to exact revenge and now she's going to Hell.

Loser...? Perhaps, but he was pretty depressed. The girl was probably the only thing which kept him going on. And when she was gone there was nothing left for him, so I don't think he thought himself as a hero or anything at the end. He lost his will to live, so why not take the rapist with him?

Maybe he could have saved her with that phone call, but would she have believed him? In that case they might have been able to support each other afterwards. But with that kind of person... he was resigned that he was useless and could do nothing. He was afraid he'd lose the only thing left for him. Had he told her, but end up getting hurt/rejected he would have ended up the same way.

Well, it ended badly, unsurprisingly, but you cant really expect entirely rational thoughts from such a person. Nice episode, truly a tragic.

So let see if I'm correct. The girl sent the guy to hell, herself and than commits suicide. The fat guy gets depress and goes to kill the second bad guy.

I love how the director, made the girl disappear at the nurse hospital, it convey to the viewer's, that she took her own life, base on the dialogue given.

Ai got rejected! :(

tempting to skip to ep 12-13 and 24-26 for the meaty part

This is true because even if he told her do you think she'd believe him, she barley knew the guy. I like the second season more because all the misfortune that happens to the clients. Why is that? Because sending people to hell is wrong. :P

this guy say's there is nothing i can do, my reaction to it is WTF are u idiot or something? there are a lot of possibility's, 1 call cops from phone booth & say, girl is peeing raped & then the address, but that means he needs to do hes stalking & call at the right moment so cops get there just before she gets raped, second option, call to her form phone booth with voice changer & say, hes going to rape u with hes buddy ton't go, it dose not matter who i am & how i know it, well that option has low success rate but still its a option, he mite still wold end up calling the cops, cause she wont listen, with second option she mite believe if he wold tell i'm ur stalker & that's how i heard them talking, harmless stalker ton't lie (the ones like him), olny the ones that are total nut cases mite lie, i can come up with meany more options how he could helped her, but then my post wold be 2long & i'm 2lazy to write that much LOL

I'll like to point out that Kiwako's candle is still lit, unlike in previous episode when Leon's candle was shown extinguished after he was killed. It is possible that Kiwako is still alive.

This was very sad. I mean this episode seemed kind of generic at first but at the end it was a huge twist for me. Like what i am assuming is correct that the girl committed suicide because holding the feeling of guilt after she sent her boyfriend to Hell was too much for her, like almost made me well up in tears. Honestly after seeing the end result i now wish that it ended in a generic fashion. Meaning the it was only in a good way, like the girl would kill off her boyfriend, and when her and "lonely guy" (sorry i forget his name lol) are in the nurses office he would confess his love and she would approve or vice versa, and although she will feel sad, lonely guy should have said that he was gonna kill the other by contacting Emma Ai. So in the long run lonely guy (not so lonely anymore lol) and the girl would both be cursed and when they die later in life they will see each other in Hell and live happily ever after. Like i really feel bad for lonely guy now because since his love committed suicide he is gonna kill the other guy the old fashioned way and then after that he'd probably commit suicide to then be able to see his love. If you think about it, both ways kind of lead to happy ending except one is mainly on Earth and one is in Hell.

I'm so ticked off with this episode. One of the things that I hate the most are girls that are taken advantaged off. Okay, I understand the guy COMPLETELY. But seriously, I would have tried to befriend the girl at his case. After knowing that too, since I really like her, I would personally tell her what I know, and how I knew. Or at the very least, find a way to tell her what was about to happen without revealing myself.

Now, what if I failed to do those? At the infirmary of the school, I would tell her that I will try to make her happy. That's the least that I could have done.

Heck, Hachiman in Oregairu tried to stand up Yui simply because he can't bear see a girl he knows cry.

This loner guy seriously should have done something.

Come on, I understand that guy, but I totally disagree with him.
Depression is a twisting mind animal, but if that girl is a reason for you to keep on hoping to live, don't let this only one thing fade with your neglection.
With your unwill to live, you have condemned another person to die, so you're a 2 times murder, and you know what, he deserves everything he'll get.

Enma is getting more bitchy.

Dat season 1 OP music in the bowling alley...

Oh shit did she kill herself at the end? Does that explain why that kid was so sad?

Why didn't her candle get extinguished at the end then?

I can kind of understand why that kid didn't talk to the girl about her boyfriend though he should have at least made an effort in doing so.

Basically no one wins. Every single one will suffer in one way or another. It was a good episode, even though I found it too simple.

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?

Tough episode. So in the end, he wants to be with that girl in hell and that's why he's going to kill the other dude but why do it yourself, I don't see the point of it. You can go to that hell without killing someone.

MANNNNN THIS ENDING SONG IS SO GOOD
Oh yeah the episode. It was fine, I wasn't expecting the plot-twist there. It was just weird to me though, the fact that the guy so easily used date rape drug on his own girlfriend and gave her to his kouhai. I guess he was the swinger type huh. Well, both of them will get what they deserve.
The show has recently started to punish all the wrongdoers. I like that.

@sugram22
So this was the episode that you were talking about about; the one where Enma decides to reject a request. Ah..if she had only done sooner for that nurse...
It's kind of interesting how suddenly on season 2 the Hell Cast gained a whole new personality.
