Lol, just don't do a handshake. Creative I guess, but stupid. The ending with that face made me laugh XD

This episode was actually alright. I liked it better than most episodes this season. There was good build-up in suspense and the music was also timed well. I thought the younger sister was gonna encounter the fourth man and shake his hand, but I guessed wrong. It would be cool if they did a slit-mouthed woman type story.


I agree. Last week's and this week's episodes had good build-up until the endings ruined everything.

When the old man showed up, I started thinking about this creepypasta I once read called The Smiling Man. Didn't get a good night's rest for days.

to put "icing on the cake", they should have showed the fourth man biting off her hand literally, but they somehow didn't :( it would be a masterpiece episode if that happened

The moral of this story is to always make sure you take everything home from school.

Getting a notebook at school at night? hell no, write your homework somewhere else.
Handshake game too strong.

The ghost stories from the last episode of Dagashi Kashi were actually better than this...

One of the better/scarier ones this season.

I think this one was actually creepy. I was creeped out, but not scared by it. The first season and some of the second season had me closing my closet door at night and the night I watched it I didn't go to the bathroom to piss or brush my teeth because I was generally scared. It also doesn't help having 3 cats that make all sorts of noises during the night, like banging wooden sliding closet doors (not fastened at bottom so they can be pushed inward against other piece of door then slam outward again making a creepy bouncing noise sounding like a little kid in my hallway playing with a ball). I am generally not scared by things too lol. I should also note that I feel embarrassed admitting this as a 27 yr. old guy haha.

Dumb kids. They could've taken turns shaking hands. Both can do 3, so that's a 6 haha. Nice episode, when compared to the previous one. They could've added a scream at the end or something to make it scarier.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I don't think so. It totally depends how they do it, a simple biting sound with a black screen could have done the trick. Sometimes, knowing what will happen without getting it shown makes better horror.
Some horror movie goes for the "show everything" route and frequently makes it more boring.

Sheesh those students from earlier don't look good at all.

That was a pretty creepy episode~ That fourth bastard came out of nowhere :o

It could be better than HandShakers if I watched that already xD

It would be cool if the 4th person took the form of her sister and transform when she grab the hand.

I'm a sucker for stories with rules, too bad this show is too short to execute them well.

This was the best episode of this season so far. It looked like the handshake man as a spirit that possessed random men. I thought it would possess the little sister, I think that would've been the best ending. I don't think it's fair how it took her hand, she didn't shake it, so that was messed up.
