Oh golly… These episodes just get better and better by the minute. Almost literally. While the previous episode revolved around chaos and comedy, this episode did around mystery. It was SO awesome! We first see this girl, full of scars, sitting inside some container and talking to Ai. Even that alone is just too sad to see, and it only gets better afterwards.
Tsugumi informs Hajime, he drives to the circus in which the girl is supposed to be, the dolls look agitated again, and they try to get rid of them. In Tsugumi’s case, the result turns out quite hilarious. In Hajime’s case, the results turned out to be quite interesting. He moves to the victim, and decides to confront her directly with it. Then he notices that she doesn’t know anything about Jigoku Shoujo, so he gives up, goes back to Tsugumi and both of them so they decide to eat something.
Then the really good stuff begins. T&H realize that they’re dealing with twins here. One is really successful, the other gets beaten with a whip by the circus director. When they arrive at the scarred girl’s place, we get so see something really interesting. Hajime goes to the circus director, hoping to be in time before the Jigoku-Squad arrives at his place, and miraculously, he actually manages this. Then we get to see another awesome plot twist, which made me feel even more sorry for both this girl and also for Tsugumi, for some reason. The aftermath was just great to see. It’s a good ending, but it does gnaw on you.
