TopgunUK said: I didn't need this episode to change my mind about Hell link because not a single person in the show so far has truly deserved eternal torture. Punishments should be proportionate to the crime, even if you were a crazy person who believes that a wrongdoer should suffer a million times the harm they did to others (and I doubt anyone actually believes this) then someone like Hitler who's both directly and indirectly responsible for the horrible suffering and deaths of millions would suffer horrific torture for perhaps trillions of years (and even for hitler, this would appear extremely excessive to anyone who is thinking even semi-rationally), but a trillion years isn't even a fraction of eternity. No one can commit infinite crimes in their finite lives and so no matter how heavy handed you are in setting the crime to punishment ratio in your quest for retribution, as long as the punishment is proportional to the finite crimes, it can never be infinite. Needless to say if the people doing wrong and being sent to hell can't possibly deserve the sentence, the people who use Hell link are making an infinitely unfair deal for themselves also. Paying the price of infinite suffering to rid yourself of a finite grievance is never going to make any kind of sense, and there's no way in hell (literally) that any of these people don't regret making the contract just one minute into their own sentence after death, if not before their sentence has even begun. Then there's the issue of children being allowed to consent to these contracts, we don't allow children to decide whether they can drive, buy alcohol or have sex and for good reason, yet here they're being trusted to decide whether to sign themselves on for eternal torture. Also, while some of the ill-deeds used as justification for considering sending someone to hell in previous episodes of this show have been as serious as murder, others have been things like ignoring a friend, trying to get a student to come to school, being a golddigger or stealing a dessert recipe and putting a cake shop out of business. It's ridiculous. I'm rendered speechless by the fact that so many people here needed an episode as black and white as this one, where the person sent to hell was not only completely innocent, but didn't even know her "victim" and was shown to be a well-liked and unbelievably nice person, doing a job that actively reduces the suffering of others. Meanwhile the person using Hell Link is some crazy malicious stalker, whose grudge was merely a delusion cooked up in his own head. The fact it took an episode like this for some people to begin acknowledging that there are flaws to the Hell Link system, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Apologies to anyone who makes it through that wall of text but I feel obligated to vent about such glaring issues. And I have to give credit to a show that I can enjoy at all even whilst knowing all this. Damn right. I honestly was feeling sickwith some of the thought processes and responses from people in previous episode threads. No wonder the world is as it is; lots of people seem to operate on emotions without thinking things through. |
| People taking the show too seriously... lol The outcome approaches! I think it would be more exciting if I didn't know there are another two full seasons, though. |
| Wow it makes you think how people can just send another people to hell that easily. I feel bad for the nurse. |
 |
| Another innocent case and a sad one that is. This is the kind of cases that reporter should defend... the innocents not the ones who deserve it. |
 |
| Wow..that poor freaking nurse! I've been wondering for quite a few episodes if it is possible to send someone to Hell who is innocent and this episode definitely answered that question...!!! |

| Who the hell is that guy? By the way the plane animation is the best. |

| another good person sent to hell huh |
| Plane was the real MVP of this episode. Poor nurese. |
| "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." |
| Just goes to show how fucked up the Hell link really is that everyone can access it. You can be a delusional psycho and can condemn someone to hell (like a celebrity) who doesnt evne know you but tyou think you know them in your head. Just like that nurse who got sent to hell because of a psycho. Man i bet if you show Jigoku Shoujo to any celeberity I bet everyone will agree that Hell link is their biggest fear. Stalker is scary as it is but imagine a stalker with Hell link? Some scary stuff. Really felt bad for the girl she was so kind :( and innocent. I can imagine being in her shoes "No i dont wanna go" T_T life is so short and she hasnt fully lived it and she lived such a fullfilling life and for what? :( to now eternally suffer in hell? I agree with the guy who commented earlier how no one truly deserves hell. No matter how horrible you are no one can be guilty enough of an eternal hell Tsugumi now questions whether what Jigoku shoujo does is right or not. and they finally talked? wow. Ai's past? wow. Really cool. I also liked how Ai's followers commented on how Ai's heart is cracking sending the innocent girl to hell :( 9/10 ep and the next one should be some Ai's backstory. |
| It's been a bit but didn't they refuse someone's request in one of the earlier episodes? Why couldn't they just say no to this random dicks request to kill a good person? |

| what the fuck mann |

| Another great episode. The series keeps getting better and better. |
| This episode made me angry. Stupid stalker for sure. And then he killed himself probably thinking they will reunite in hell and if he cant have her no one can ... Argh -_- |

I don't understand to me he seemed to be crazy stalker who remained in the shadows not like most who call and do crazy sh that drive victims crazy |
| Wow, this episode really made me comment for once haha. I was kinda confused but towards the end I made my own interpretation. Basically, since she's talked about a lot in that hospital, there was a random stalker guy that was interested in her and she rejected him which made him really bitter so he used the link. Then, killing himself so that he could be in Hell with her for eternity. Yikes.... It really sucks that Ai can't judge the Nurse as a good/innocent person so she can't let it slide but I guess that's just NOT how it works :/ |

| Not all sent to hell are bad guys....yeah this episode makes you feel shitty. |
 |
| This is what I was waiting for. She was sent to hell even if she didnt do anything wrong. Next 3 episodes should be great. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| While the episode itself wasn't the most entertaining out there with the new characters and situation at hand early on, it was an intriguing one that did a good job in showing the flawed side to the whole Hell Correspondence System, where even the innocent folks who've not done much wrong can get punished, and it shows Ai having some real heart underneath the cold exterior with feeling guilt for that nurse ending up in Hell, as well as conflict issues regarding her job and her morality. |
| Such shitty morality. "I hear Miss's heart shattering" yet she's doing her job as if nothing is happening. It was just a weird episode. I'm guessing that the guy was in love with her, so he sent her to hell and then killed himself to meet her there. That's just my two cents there. Sugram22 said: Yeah I think so too. Probably will never see her though, "Hell is a vast place".Cnon said: Lol that's right it was so funny xD just like a shadow play She did nothing wrong but she got sent to hell? Why?

If you're talking about the sanitarium episode then that was because the girl didn't have a soul to trade with.good question, i would like to know that as well |

Fatephile said: cant remember when, but it was just in 1episode maybe in this season maybe in future season but in the beginning of a EP she looked at a request and decided its not worth her time, its easy to miss though, and her companions have talked about it about refusing requests, but its rare 99% of them she does no matter how messed up it mite beSuch shitty morality.
