Third time's a charm...

Third time is always a charm...

Well, I have to agree. In my opinion the third instalment of Jigoku Shoujo a.k.a JIGOKU SHOUJO MITSUGANAE (The Cauldron of Three) has surpassed the two previous instalments (Jigoku Shoujo & Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori). I really enjoy these new episodes.

Basically, the plot is rather similar: A hates B. A sends B to hell via Jigoku Tsushin a.k.a Hell Correspondence. A’s soul will immediately be ferried to hell after his/her death. However, the conflicts or the grudges portrayed in this new series are a bit unpredictable. I really enjoy the surprise or the twist at the end of each episode. It is certainly a plus point!

In this season we will be introduced to two more new characters. They are Mikage Yuzuki and Yamawaro.

Mikage is a middle-schooler who apparently shares body with Enma Ai. She is able to see what Ai sees. And most importantly she can sense if someone has accessed Jigoku Tsushin. Later in one of the episodes, it is revealed that Mikage is actually Ai’s successor. To refresh your memory, in Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori (2nd season), Ai tried to save a boy (Takuma) from being ferried to Hell. As a result, she had lost her body in the final episode. Her body vanished and transformed to sakura petals and scattered in the wind. So, in this season, she uses Mikage’s body as a vessel for her disembodied spirit.

The next new character is Yamawaro. Not much is revealed about him except that he is Kikuri’s playmate. He addresses Kikuri as Hime (princess) and he is always seen tagging along with her. Plus, he also one of the Ai’s assistants and he also can turn into a straw doll if ordered.

For now, I have only watched up to 18th episode. And I can’t hardly wait to download more episodes. If anyone of you are interested H.E.R.E’s the link. Have fun watching!
