Wow...just wow. An incestuous wannabe brother who cross-dresses as a woman to pleasure his sister's boyfriends, in hopes of getting laid with his sister. You know, I'm thinking what the reactions to this episode would've been had it aired today?
I'm also surprised that the people on this thread thought that "She loved him and only pulled the threat to avoid breaking a taboo."; no of course she didn't. She pushed him without any hesitation. She loved him as her brother, and of course you're gonna feel guilty and miss your incestuous brother after sending him to hell.

Anyways, we still don't know what deal the grandmother made with Hajime. Considering that he and his daughter are included on the characters' list, I'm guessing we'll find out in this season.

i agree she loved him as a sibling 

i think the brothers coal was that she would get so disappointed with other guys that it would make her run in to hes arms, that type of deluded view 

pretty messed up story

The most absurd thing about this episode was that somehow every guy in the school was secretly gay.

Didn't love the vaguely homophobic/transphobic undertones of some of the dialogue, but I'm not convinced there were truly malicious intents from the writers. Even despite his actions towards his sister, the brother is not shown as repulsive/creepy. So I'm conflicted. It might just be a clumsy choice of words.

The ending felt unnecessarily sad regardless, even the sister seems to immediately regret her choice. Maybe it's just me, but the way the sister is looking forward to seeing him again makes me think the feelings might have been requited. Like a previous user said, norms won't matter in Hell. I think she loved him back, but things were just too complicated and shocking for her at this point in time.

Overall I didn't expect so many twists though, it's always a great point when an ep manages to surprise the audience and not feel predictable (unlike many season 1 episodes...) The incest was easy to guess from the start, but I was so surprised they added the whole gender identity layer on top. I'm super conflicted, but I can at least say this was not a boring episode at all! Kudos for that.

The brother was fully in the wrong in this episode, and the reason why has nothing to do with incest or crossdressing. If you want to express your love for someone, you be honest and tell them your feelings, and whether the person accepts them or not, it's their choice to make. If you love someone, you don't sabotage every single relationship they get into by lying to them and tricking everyone they ever date. That shows that the brother did not care about his sister's feelings or happiness. He viewed her as an object to be owned. And this is physically shown when the brother literally forces himself onto his sister. This is not love and is never acceptable behavior.

Did he deserve to go to hell? Well in my opinion no one deserves to go to hell (yes, I mean no one) so this aspect doesn't affect my opinion of individual episodes.

He didn't deserve to die. Move out is an option. Just don't tell him where u r going and then run away. But sending him to hell?
