I thought we were in for a more wholesome one, like maybe the dad was already dead and he would get to see his son one more time, but nope, instead we got a dad that somehow killed his son and is stuck trying to get his forgiveness playing a broken claw machine. Still tho, I thought this was good, another one of the better episodes imo, I like these more sentimental stories quite a bit, it seems like they hit more often than not compared to the spooky ones.

@TheColonel76 This may be one of the saddest episodes ever. I don't know if was an accident or abuse, or murder. But the Son is dead & won't forgive the Father. And he thinks an old gimmick like that would help? TRAGIC.

@Sheol01 I can agree with that, we don’t even know what the dad did but his son’s reaction paints a good picture.

Yep, knew the kid would be dead and dad would be to blame somehow. Kinda reminded me of the capsule toy machine ep from way back. Even further back than I thought since it was season 2.

Looks like those two guys at the end were talking about the finger guy, Ohara.

Damn, they hit us with an unexpectedly sad episode this time around. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

You said what I was thinking. This one was pretty sad. I doubt the "ghost" is real. I think the man is just driven mad by guilt and grief.

Another common ghost story. Not a monster, magic, or something else.

@TheColonel76 Don't you think, this was already used before in previous season? Where the dad was telling fake story to his imaginary son, he's hiding himself from the truth that he left his girlfriend to die.

@KelvinGoh19192 I can’t remember exactly because there’s been so many at this point, but that does sound familiar.

@TheColonel76 Also the latest episode(9) is about bullies and injustice, the victim was deceived and can't go back to his normal life.

Why couldn't Takashi forgive his father? He already apologized and said it was an accident :(

@towelgirl21 I also thought that it was probably just guilt.
This season seems to be revolving around Ohara, let's see if that reference turns into anything.

We don't know what dad did to his son but he surely regrets and wants to makeup with him =(
