Whoa, first time I've seen the "Hell's corporation" work together and investigate.

And I think that shop lifter girl will turn out to be an evil person since she had an evil smile in the end, just like the president's.

I do think that she'll repeat the same mistakes as the President did.

It really made me smile to see the four work together, though.

Well, the fact that she is going to hell didn't make her think twice...
Well, she'll probably go psycho too...

I don't think they're her relatives, they're the dolls that are by her computer.

This was a good episode.
It was great to see them all working together.
Notice they didn't ask the president to confess or if she learned her lesson?
They quickly dragged her ass to hell!

Well she will go to hell either way so why the surprise ? Especially after what she have left in life, and now, owning a big company.

Probably because she was already using illegal methods and they knew she wouldn't, so they didn't bother asking.
Still waiting for that plot!

This episode is bit different than the normal one's. What a heavy twist in the story and character. Emma notice some people are abusing her service's and sent her people out to investigate. The nerd girl wasn't caught up on the shoplifting, she did it on purpose to get close to the president. The female president was twisted indeed and the flashback made me sympathize a little for her. Finally seeing a female character on the boat, made me quiver. Maybe cause I'm bias toward females (pussy are the saints)...

The most intriguing part was save for last. It seem the nerd girl, is taking over for the president and ironically, the president wore classes back in the day. LOL

Finally! Something different happened!
The dude with long hair is cool

Looks like hacker-girl is going to abuse the fact that she's getting punished regardless of what she does in the future, lol.

I wonder what other different things will happen...

great episode this was true punishment and I had a little laugh when this woman wanted to hire hell girl into the company to grow her company I was like ye right. wonder what this girl will do now she know she will go to hell her self it certainly seemed like she was up to something.

oh and when her husband or something was cheating in her punishment did any one notice that when she ran outside and met the woman after that you saw this 2 man looking trough the door so where they kissing :P

This is a little different from the usual, the structure is still the same. The last part was pretty good, the girl is probably going to be corrupted, or she probably already is.

Pretty cool seeing the 4 of them working together.

This is probably my favorite one so far. Not just because it broke out of the cycle a bit (although that helps), I like how in the end, Misato inherits Riho's outlook on life, making me question what this really ended up resolving. I hope to see more of Enma and her backstory, as it seems she only picks certain requests.

Corporate businesses are filthy. Yup, pretty much the moral of the episode, which was great. I feel that this was one of the better episodes compared to the others.
4/5 just for the Enma Ai, "When you die, you'll be sent to hell."
"This world is already hell."

I liked the change up! Loving seeing more of the other people that assist her. I was intrigued to know now that they actually DO have the ability to deny requests. My only wonder is.. did they deny it because she wasn't writing a name? When hacker girl and boss-chan were on the website, they just were writing "please help me" or variations of that. Every other time it has been an individual's name.

Wonder if there will be any more to that? Who knows!

Hacker girl will definitely be evil. Too bad she prolly can't use Hell Girl anymore cause she already gave Hell her goods!

Hopefully we see more of Enma Ai & the gang. :)

Interesting to see that this girl is the first person in this show to realize that they can do whatever they want since they're going to hell anyway. I guess this also makes her the first neutral/not completely good person to use the Hell Link. We can assume that she's gonna go down a similar, if not the same path as the president of the company.

A few things I've learned in this episode:

A: Jigoku Shoujo will only doom people to hell immediately who would have gone to hell already anyway. She wouldn't appear before because they wanted her to kill of their competition, who probably weren't evil. Once she was summoned to kill someone evil though, she came.

B: Sometimes Hells Correspondents have to do some investigating, which is super cool to see.

C: Sometimes they don't ask if they want to admit their sins, they probably only ask if they want to admit their sins if their sins aren't too major. Mass murder doesn't warrant forgiveness it seems. The rest of the sins we've seen weren't too major though, and thus they had an opportunity to be forgiven.

D: Something that I should have noticed in past episodes but didn't, Jigoku Shoujo sais "After the revenge has been dealt an emblem will appear, condemning you to hell after death." If they do grant the person forgiveness, the person who pulled the string also won't be doomed to hell.

Also, this is just my opinion, but I don't think that the person that pulled the string in this episode was evil before she pulled the string like some of you guys seem to think. Instead, I think she became evil after she pulled the string, because she felt "Hey, if I'm going to hell regardless, I might as well be evil and enjoy the life I have while I have it."

Pondering thought: I wonder if it's possible to actually go to heaven even with the mark. Or maybe it's like the mark of the beast, there's no going back once you get it?

This one gotta be the worst episode :D literally was bored to death, could not care less what would happen to the girl. The story wasnt interesting at all. Man and also it seems not that fucked up like the first 3... That rage with umbrella though RIGHT TO THE FACE.Fucking psycho woman....
Oh i really liked the quote "So what if i kill another person? after you killed someone already it doesnt matter how many more you kill after."
5/10 honestly. not many reedeming things.

It was rather good. I liked how active the episode was. Hell Girl's whole posse seemed to have parts to play in a gradual manor, and it was nice. And it finally answered my "what if" scenario of, "What if we just got a person who was like, "f*ck it, I'll just pull the red string now!"". Was rather nice. Even how it ended on the bittersweet note
"We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy!"
