| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was a pretty good episode and we got more of Wanyuudou's background story. |
 |
| So no one was sent to hell AND we got some background!!! I wanna know about the other two now ^__^ |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| i like the way the background comes out, though this ep is a four |
| Wanyuudou's background was pretty interestin. |
     |
| Kinda curious about the background of Ren and Hone Onna. Although I wasn't too clear on which one was Wanyuudou in the flashback. |
| Wanyuudou was the carriage's wheel. The burning one they showed at the end of the flashback that rolled of and apparently, didn't die with his master, who happens to be a princess. I wonder what era that was in. That was a great episode. Had me breathing sighs of relief twice. |
 |
| tahnks i had neither understood who was wanyuudoo |
| I liked atmoshpere in this episode. Story was sad, but it was really good episode :) |
| Was it just me or was that the first time ever that an episode didn't include someone being sent to hell. Interesting... They totally broke the flow didn't see that coming. |
| I enjoyed it. It was a good change of pace in comparison to the typical "Cry about something pointless and send someone to hell over it" theme. I hope they can give more insight into all of their backgrounds as well in the upcoming eps. |
| "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway |
| Nice, noone was sent to hell in this episode. Oh and Enma talking sideways to that driver is hot. <3 and +1 for Wanyuudo. I thought at first that the princess was Enma, then I remembered that she wasn't a princess. |
| i guess it was pretty good an im glad we got 2 see how Wanyuudou died and stuff... i just dont see y ppl who wanna send som1 2 hell dont see the back story first... |
 |
| wow, a happy ending for once! ... sort of. the beginning of this episode dragged a bit but it definitely improved. i'm SO glad the string was not pulled. this has got to be the first. woo!!! |
| Nice background episode. BlackAssasin said: I liked atmoshpere in this episode. Story was sad, but it was really good episode :) |
 |
| Nice episode, first time somebody didn't pull the string and didn't had intention to kill the one he or she hated,, well he was already dead so he couldn't have... Isn't Enma going to be punished for this? I mean she didn't maked it in time so if he really wanted to send the grandpa to Hell he couldn't which would be Enma's fault?... Well maybe I'm thinking too much Interesting to see some more background information, the only thing I don't understand is how Wanyuudo changed into what he is now from a wheel...? I mean a wheel doesn't have a soul right? I hope they'll explain this :) |
| I kind of internally lol'd when Ai was at first like, "We still have time," when handing the truck driver dude the doll, and then when Ren stepped in and said it was annulled, Ai was then like, "We were too late." It was kind of emotionless, as it usually is with Ai, but I think because it was said so dryly that it made me grin. I liked this episode! It was different yet again. And yay, more back story and this time for Wannyoudo! |
 |
| Nice background story for Wannyoudo. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| So Wannyoudo is a cart wheel? Interesting xD First time ever no one went to hell phew... |
| This episode was pretty amazing <3 I want more like this one, i love it (^^) |
| That was a good episode! :) |
| aww he's a wheel |
| Nice episode it was great to get some more information behind the story of Wanyuudou! Kikuri was quite funny in this episode :D |

DannySEN said: So Wannyoudo is a cart wheel? Interesting xD Ruhenheim said: So Wanyuudou was a cart wheel...? Actually I think he was the driver of the cart, no? At least that's the conclusion I came to, from what he said about having had confidence in his handling of the road... Either way, it was awesome to see about Wanyuudou's past, these episodes are getting better and better :) And also, I was just thinking before watching this episode that 'it'd be interesting to see an episode where no one gets sent to hell', and right then it happens xD First episode to get me a bit teary-eyed, looking forward to seeing more things about Ren's and Hone Onna's pasts :) |

Interesting xD Ruhenheim said: So Wanyuudou was a cart wheel...? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wany%C5%ABd%C5%8D And also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hone-onna I think it would've been nice if the subs added TL notes explaining that they're based on youkai from Japanese folklore. |
| Thank you Jenii ^ Episode has some weird force drama, but it ended well. Kikuri is so creepy cute, I wonder who she is. |
 |
| He didn't pull the string, but he'd do it if he could. Still looking forward for a MC like the otaku guy from earlier. Nevertheless, I like that they change how they show each episode. It doesn't feel like repetitive as season 1. Ohh. And did you guys see how Hone Onna transformed? That was hottt! |
 |
| i thought Wannyoudo was the driver of the cart? Either way was a really nice change to see someone NOT go to hell for a change, and also the get some background just hope the other two get an episode at least now as wel. |
DannySEN said: So Wannyoudo is a cart wheel? Interesting xD First time ever no one went to hell phew... In this season at least. It took till episode 26 of the first season for someone not to send someone to hell. I like the interesting possibilities that occur though. |
 |
| Wow it's quite a touching episode. In the end, it's just a matter of different perspectives :D |
| This is the first episode so far where no one went to hell! Also I think my favorite character is Wanyuudo so it's nice to see some character development! :D |
 |
| nice to see about Wanyuudou past and also liked to see how points of view can be different from each peoples eyes and how easy a misunderstanding is created. it had a really nice ending. wonder if Wanyuudou was a cart wheel in his past or he was the driver i guess the driver. |

| I dislike lelouch vi Britannia. im a shiki supporter my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR90F0rzcss4CsrAbkZXTkg/featured?view_as=subscriber Just past the 1500th Mark bitches I approve this video http://youtu.be/U_0CCLxibFk |
| Great episode! They really stepped up the quality! Nice to see Wanyuudo get some backstory on his past. |
| I rather loved this episode! nobody had been sent to hell :D! Wanyuudo backstory! My idea on what he is from this episode is as follows: Wan was the Driver of the carriage and fell off the cliff with the "princess" the wheel rolling away and burning is Signifying him meeting Enma and becoming what he is now. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| thrilling episode, not to mention the flashback of Wanyuudo |
| A (kinda) happy ending in my Jigoku Shoujo? Blasphemy! See? You can do it if you try. Nice change of pace. |
| Well the old man has blood on his hands so I don't really feel sorry for him. But still good thing no one had a pointless death. |
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 |
| Best episode so far |
| The contrast that this episode provides when compared to the rest of the series is storytelling gold. I have never particularly thought that Jigoku Shoujo was that amazing, until now. The compassion that all the characters showed (okay everyone but the little girl) was very heart warming. Most of the time I agree with the person who holds the grievance but this time I was on the side of the old man, especially after learning about his family. Wanyuudo ended up saving the guy anyway, and the old man ended up being a very sincere person. The ending actually brought tears to my eyes. 5 - Loved it |
 |
| This is my favorite episode so far! |
| Loved this episode, I didn't think they were allowed to help anyone but it's nice to see that they can. I cant believe Wanyu was a wheel... I guess that explains why he always transforms to a flying burning wheel, guess I shouldn't be surprised if Hone's background reveals her being a corpse/skeleton zombie hybrid thing and Ren's being what? an eye? Kikuri is adorable, I want to know her background too. |

| Wanyuudou~!! *roll* *roll* *roll* |

| Very good episode. Poor old man. Wanyuudou has some strengh. Stopping truck using only bare hands. PRO. :D |

I wonder what era that was in. That was a great episode. Had me breathing sighs of relief twice. nope he was the driver & that why he turns in to the wheel |
| Hmm interesting. Now I want to see the flasback of the two others and I also want to see what Enma Ai's Grandma looks like. |

Had me breathing sighs of relief twice. nope he was the driver & that why he turns in to the wheel Wanyuudou's name roughly translates to mean 'a wheel on a road', or alternatively 'wheel monk', the former referring to his original form. |
