| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I thought he wouldn't use the doll. I wonder what will happen if the user didn't use the doll. Seems to be that the detective and his daughter are getting close to revealing the truth of this Jigoku Shouji thing. |
| I was really hoping he wouldn't use the doll. I felt bad for him. |
 ✾✾✾ if only we could be reborn ✾✾✾ |
| wow stupid dude shouldn't had pulled the string!!! |
 |
| I don't like Shibata. He's too nosy. |
| Yeah, the introduction of Shibata has made things alot more interesting. |

| I feel bad for the nosy guy , he just fails every time he tries... |
| he pulled the string xD |
| Meh. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| this was a boring ep |
| Am I the only one who is thinking "finally, it was a guy that pulled the string!"? I mean, that's only what, the second time? |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |

| Signature: |
| Im not sure I like Shibata, as others have said he seems abit nosy, and he just totally fails whenever he tries to catch Ai, or do anything, but at least its a plot, and its not just your average episodic anime, or at least i hope not, just hope they can do something intresting with it... |
| It's getting quite interesting! The global story is developing and that's great :D |
 |
| Plot father & daughter continues on! Good! Gonna hold out hope, a guy pulling the string on a girl. ROFL |
 |
| I keep thinking some people are sent to hell for idiotic reasons like people can't solve anything any more but oh well good episode anyway. |

Kawaii_KarinaB said: I didn't get what happened. Alot of the men look alike... Why did he pull the string? What did that guy do to him to deserve it? I wasn't really concentrating, so someone please explain? :/ He wanted revenge because that journalist guy wrote a false news story about how he was a drug addict. But because his family started getting a lot of attention from reporters etc, they happened to uncover the fact that his father was taking bribes. Because of that, they lost all their wealth and reputation. I don't remember what else happened, but it was because the guy wrote that article. He used the son to get the truth on the father. |

| I like the way this anime blends the supernatural with modern life. It's quite consistent. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| Kinda wish Kataoka didn't pull the string. It would have made this episode more interesting if they tried to frame Inagaki. |
AlinaKitti said: What do you think? It's causing many people to die and be sent to hell when it's almost always the wrong way to solve a issue. Why is Shibata trying to find Jigoku Shojo in the first place? :P |
| I hope there's an episode that shows the negative effects of the covenant because it seems like almost always the person's life gets better after their victim is sent to hell. It would be interesting to see their life turn get worse after sending their victim to hell. |
| It's getting interesting! |
| That guy sure knows how to stick his nose into other people's business. Doesn't he have anything else better to do ? Ai's eyes... are so dazzling. |
| Finally good episode. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Well.. the journalist is getting too deep here |
 |
| Are people really hating on Shibata for being the only person in this show with common sense?? The guy actually has a brain and understands that people are taking going to hell for granted, most of the time because they're too full of vengeful hate to think properly. Also, how is he being nosy? That's like calling someone trying to stop a murder from happening nosy ಠ_ಠ This is a good example of people hating on a "good guy" just because his/her actions are interfering with the main characters'. Ai's group IS wrong. Several of the people who got sent to hell were either just assholes or kids with issues (mini assholes). Both them and the "good" people who sent them to hell are all going to be tortured for eternity because of the Hell Link/Ai's group. These guys are demons whose job is to collect souls people. They could give two shits about the person getting sent to hell or the person who makes the request. Why do you think Ai tries to sugarcoat it when she tells them that they'll go to hell as well by saying "Though it's only after you die :D" or the fact that the Ren and Onna got pissed off when Shibata tried to talk the guy out of pulling the thread? Can't believe isn't obvious enough. |
 |
| The reporter is getting closer to figuring out the whole Hell Girl thing. This episode still had the same basic format as previous ones, but at least we have a couple of recurring characters with an ongoing storyline. |
 |
on 
| It's kinda Shibata's job to be nosy, he's a journalist after all. Also he has a personal reason to investigate Ai, as his daughter has a connection to her. |
 |
| Crap. He fucked up. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| finally a very intriguing episode. The case was pretty sad, he really wanted him to suffer so Hell girl is the way. Looks like Hell guys dont like Hajime interfering and Hajime tries to dig furrther and further. |
| oh Hajime u will never save any1 if u don't understand the victim's heart's |

| really sad case. I was hoping as well that he woukd not pull the string :/ |

| Not much punishment shown this time. We need to get to why Tsugumi is connected to all of this. |
 |
| I've been rewatching this series and this episode really reminded me why i started to dislike this anime from the point Hajime & Tsugimi got introduced. That is where the simple stories with satisfying conclusions end and the annoying ass investigations by a 10 year old that looks like an alien and a father that picks up used fucking cigarettes to see if he can still smoke some of it (seriously who the fuck even does that??) starts. I know Hell girl herself needed to have some story with her and an explanation with it, aswell as the side characters working with her, but i honestly think trying to explain that turned this to shit. |
| So he did use the doll after all. I still dont know if it would have worked out without it. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| He really went ahead and said, "F*ck it, I'm pulling it anyway" lul. Well, nice episode, and interesting to see that guy going in closer to try to catch up to Hell Girl, but him saying, "she has to be stopped". What's he gonna do, try to arrest a demon? |
| "We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy!" |
| That was just sad. The kid made a really hasty and stupid decision. |
| خ |
| I dont understand why people hate Shibata, I mostly (not every episode but still) understand why people pull the strings most of them on very strong emotions and I really think most if them don’t fully understand what they doing with this most of them were kids or teenagers who in middle school or highschool which makes it more sad. But neither Shobata or Emma is wrong for me Emma gives a options but its your choice to pull it or not but the problem as I say most people not in their right mind in that point Shibata in other hand can give them a different look at the situation and try to find another solution without going to hell. He actually give a solution in this episode, the boy wanted the other way which don’t agree this time because saving his dad from jail kind of look better then revenge and not forget that this man daughters reacts to all of it so like it’s normal that he want to know what is going on |
