Welp, this episode had a creepy straw figure...

The guy lurking around gave me some creeps when he was looking for the kid. "I found you!"

What a confusing episode.
His parents forgot him?
This is what happens when you don't obey your grandma.

Strangely a somewhat decent episode. Actually gave me a few creeps.

Boia didn't listen to his grandma and that's what happened. The giant head though, since when can giants talk?

Always listen to grandma and don't trespass. Sound advice. If you don't follow it...

Either a kyojin, or Yubaba, or Auntie Whispers from Over the Garden Wall (whose design was probably influenced by Yubaba)

Damn, poor kid. He should have listened to his grandma, but at the same time you can't just tell a kid to not do something without explaining it properly. The way the grandma forbade him made him want to go there even more.

It seems like she's the only one who remembers him too, which is kind of depressing.

Great episode. This season is turning out to be fantastic. It might be my favourite one thus far.

Grandma told him not to go near that house, and then he went there a minute later. Not just that, he thought it was a good idea to play hide-and-seek in a house that obviously looked haunted.

Lel no sympathy for the boy.

Never watching Yami Shibai when I need to go to the bathroom ever again. It's a bad combination. I don't know what to do now.

The last episode was my favorite but this one managed to surpass it.
It was the first one that made me really uncomfortable and even scared which is basically what I think everyone wants to experience watching Yami Shibai, so well done!

I have a theory that this straw doll could be for example the boy's brother and that would be the reason for his grandma's reaction :o she was the only one who remembered the previous boy and she also remembered the second grandson ( so she wanted him so bad to stay away from the house) but his parents didn't remember anything after the first and after the second son ;;

I love that theory!

So far this season the thing I love most is the ending theme song. Gave me all the chills when it started up after this episode. Also...the song weirdly gives me the hots for the storyteller XD I don't even know.

OH MY GOD SAME HERE XDDD "yami shibai no jikan da yo~" leaves an echo in my head for a long time and I've downloaded the ending song after the very first episode of the 5th season, it's really the best one for me <3

and thank you for appreciating my theory I'm so glad that it got someone's attention!!!

Ha ha, you're welcome, thanks for sharing it! The openings this show gives for coming up with theories is one of the main reasons I love it. I don't enjoy when everything is thoroughly explained in a scary show, I prefer there to be a lot of mystery as to what happened and why X3

It was funny rather than scary. Just as someone mentioned, it's just like in horror movies where people just do dumb shit, like, going far out of their way to do dumb shit.

It's the menacing deep voice back from season one~ I jumped when the giant titan crushed the straw kid.

I guess once the soul is infused with the doll, all memories of the person gets erased except for the old lady who might be related to it.

"Don't go there or the crone will get you." Leaves. Does nothing else to prevent him from going.
"Lol wtf is a crone?"
"LET'S GO PLAY THERE!"

I swear. Don't get me wrong, it was really creepy, especially seeing the crone come u the stairs and that silence at some point. Like holy crap. But the steps taken to get to that point could have been worked on. Lol

Perhaps the best constructed horror episode of the season, a few logic lapses like Swiggy mentions above but I can deal with that when they actually did a good deal to seed points of intrigue & suspense. Seeing the straw body in the car, the crone name drop, the hide & seek turnaround (playing with kids, to 'playing' with a crone), to the relatively long time of the crone seeking him. No real surprise with the end result but it was executed well enough.

The strange thing is that his cousins didn't remember him either. I wonder what made them go while they were playing hide-and-seek.

This episode was actually really scary, the atmosphere was creepy and kept me on the edge of my seat and the monster had a disturbing pedophilic voice which helped set the creep factor even higher.

Might be the best Yami shibai episode of any season.
cause I was never scared while watching this show, not even in season 1 which gets so much praise here, some episodes disturb me but that's about it.

good shit!

That was pretty good.

Even your own parents forget about your existence.

The grandma knew about this
