| Sometimes i honestly can't follow peoples logic in this show. |

| Enma looked sadder than usual. =/ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

I don't understand his logic at all. hmm + He didn't know that person who pull the string will go to hell + and he couldn't do anything to his current state of affairs for various reasons so = i see it that way, that he saw escape and salvation from the hands of someone else who understands him and can help him out, therefore he asked that person if he could send him to hell, even if it was hell, he was fine with it since it has given him the means of escape of the cruel things he couldn't stand. |
KeiranShikari said: Sometimes i honestly can't follow peoples logic in this show. Yeah, it didn't make much sense as to why that young girl would want to go to hell just to help the guy out...It was definitely a sad episode but I have to say when she say that teacher's phone buzz i was a little weirded out. |
| Not sure where all the confusion is coming from unless I totally missed something: 1. Sensei asked her to pull the string because he was unaware of the repercussions to her for pulling the string. I'm sure asking her to pull the string on a doll is a much easier way to get to hell than to commit suicide which can go wrong for any number of reasons. I'm pretty sure that he would not have asked her to pull the string if he knew it would result in her going to hell also. 2. She obviously pulled the string because after getting to know him she wanted to be with him even if it was in hell. When she is shown after he is on his way to hell she even asks him to wait for her. |

I totally agree with you two. **Did anyone catch that line by Shibata Tsugumi at 22:04 where she says something that sounds to me like 「これでいの地獄わこくわくで。」 which my subs translate to "It's fine here. Hell is paradise." ...VERY interesting if subs were correct... Does anyone know the kanji for what she actually said there? I couldn't figure out exactly what she said. The sad part to me wasn't the fact that they went to hell, but that in the next episode, Enma-san says that 5/5 |
| Signature: |
| Well this was quite the sad episode for both of them and even if he didn't do anything wrong he went to hell! Up to the next one! |
 |
| Double Tragic events! The sensei stresses about his daily life and looking toward sucide to end his pain. The student also in a similar situation. It's to bad they couldn't help each other through this and took the easy route. Sensei did not know about the backfire condition, I bet he wouldn't go through with it... This episode really stings the heart of Japanese people... Anyone think there was some romance between the two? |

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| he fucked up |
| at first my thoughts where he did nothing wrong and he didn't indeed but then he ask her to sent him to hell wtf who would want to go to hell and sad for the girl she had no bad intentions but it was a great episode. |

Salmissra said: Am I the only person who deosnt think this was a sad ep? I thought it was rather dumb actually. if he wanted to die so badly then commit suicide. I cant believe she even submitted his name just because she din wanna go back to sch. and what makes him think Hell will be peaceful? steups Just because he wont have to interact with humans doesnt mean the eternity of torture is gonna be sweet. I agree. I had to "lolwut" when they said "Your revenge is granted." after the string was pulled, because this is not even a "revenge", and they just dragged an innocent person into hell, so.. what's up with investigation and shit? -.- |

| If the teacher wanted to go to hell why didn't he just kill himself instead of condemning the student as well? Just to make it more dramatic? I think someone was drunk when he wrote this episode. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| Such a depressing episode! And just when I thought no one was gonna die. :( And seriously!? People still going on about why didn't he just commit suicide? Committing suicide has a lot of repercussions. Even after you die. And some people can't commit it themselves even if they do want to die. Plus he didn't know that the other person goes to hell. How was he supposed to know, hell I would never had thought the other person would go to hell if they sought their grievance to be avenged. |
 |
| Well this episode was fucking depressing. A hikikomori, and a depressed teacher desiring to go to hell. My question is, why would the teacher want to go to hell? He could have just killed himself without any consequences. Dude's a masochist that's for sure. |

| Probably my favorite scenario yet. I really felt for the teacher and that relationship of solitude and escapism he had with Sawai was bittersweet. Not only that, but this episode shows how Ai is conflicted about her duties. |
 |
| Hmm.. I don't understand how the loli girl see visions and stuff. That guy feels more like a stalker.. but I want to know more about Ai too. She's one of the most mysterious character I know. |
| I didn't understand this episode, Were they dating? Did he know he was texting with her or was he thinking it was just some other random girl? |
| Looks llike big juicy plot is coming up next ep. |
| Splendid! Incredible dramatic atmosphere, this was definitely the best episode for me. |
| Some bastards deserves to be ferried to hell directly, because they had done things that couldn't be fixed |
 |
| Well.. that was interesting different approach. |
 |
| The people in this show are retarded. S2 must have been really good for me to have forgotten how much the characters triggered me in S1 lol. Like really though, how does one consider hell to be better than their current life? What was the author thinking when she wrote this chapter? I just don't even... |

darkerealm said: If the sensei wanted to die, he could have just committed suicide or something. I don't understand his logic at all. Same here. I mean, Hell is pretty much as bad as it gets right? If he didn't like the situation he was in, why would he wish to make it worse? I always figured that if I hated my life so bad I'd just run off somewhere and start completely over (in another country, in a different setting, with a different name...whatever it took to make things better). |

on 
| 1.Why did she write the sensei's name on the site? 2.Where is the revenge? 3.How did they know each other's phone number? |

| It was ok episode. Nothing more |
| "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." |
| To me it was a really weak episode I dont even feel sad for them at all nor was it a fucked-up or revenge story. Like many said: why did girl wrote his name on the site in the first place. Why would you ever decide that suffering eternally is better than killing yourself and getting to heaven for peace? He's tired of his life ok i get it why do you want an eternal pain? I think i did understand why the girl decided to help him (and condeming herself to hell as well) she wants to help him after getting to know him and wants to meet him in hell. Unfortunately for her Hell is huge and you dont decide where to go so they will never find each other. |
| Best episode so far. |
 |
| this was a interesting eps goes against the basic principles of sending those to hell who usually are cruel people who commit atrocious acts to even be perceived as a candidate to such terms even enma was conflicted as well which has me thinking her grandma told her to not think of such things but i want her to go deeper and find out |
ezaya said: 1.Why did she write the sensei's name on the site? 2.Where is the revenge? 3.How did they know each other's phone number? 1. she was pissed cause he was bugging her at the beginning about going back to school 2. it no longer was, but sins she had the straw toll she can still use it, what matters is the emotion before & when he or she gets the straw toll 3.they met online they were online buddies under false names so they had no idea who the other1 is until she send him the txt in the school close to hes phone & so it ringing after sending u should really pay more attention :) |
| Yeah that was one thought provoking episode. Quite refreshing, if sad. Somehow, I have a feeling that hell isn't such a bad place and everyone will cope with way things are going. Perhaps the series will conclude with everyone returning to earth for one more chance to correct their mistakes. |
| Very weird ... For once it's the opposite of the concept of anime that happened |
 |
| That was quite an strange and drammatic episode. Sadly no happy end I would have wished a lot for it |

Humza_96 said: This episode was so stupid. Like everyone else said he could have just committed suicide. And why did all the students hate him? Did that anti-social girl really have a reason to hate him so much she wants him dead? Some of the decisions in the show have been unnecessary but this was just plain stupid. The worst episode so far IMO. killing urself is hard, it means he is 2scered to do it himself and that's easier way u wont exp the pain and other scary stuff that comes with it |

| Okay this episode was full of WTF?! Sawai had zero reason to sent her teacher to hell, she was the one skipping class!!! Then for the teacher to ask her to do so?! WTF?! These two are messed up on a completely different spectrum. |
 |
| Yess, there it isss, different episode, the teacher actually wanted to go to hell and told the girl to do it. Very interesting, also seems like the main plot is that journalist and her daughter? going after hell girl and also the girl being somehow connected to Ai? |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |

These two are messed up on a completely different spectrum. it was mercy killing she so how he was suffering like she is thing i they both had mental issues sins they suffered for no reason, or is it what doctors call depression so new some ppl use hell girls for escapeism |
| This was the most idiotic episode by far and I didn't even like it a bit. What the hell was that all supposed to mean? Some edgy kid and a suicidal teacher just...what the hell |
