Hell Girl (Season 1)

The Legendary Hell Communication

There is an urban legend circulating among teenagers: In the first few chapters, Some students intentionally or unintentionally revealed some rumors about the "Hell Communication" web page during their conversations. Some resentful people had the idea of ????logging into the "Hell Communication" webpage after hearing the rumors. However, after Hell Girl delivered the scarecrow, many people were hesitant to choose whether to untie the red thread. [1] However, due to different reasons, such as being in a life-threatening situation, or feeling helpless, everyone ultimately chose to untie the red thread. This situation seems to be changing in the eighth episode.

The appearance of the Shibata family

At the beginning of the eighth episode, an elementary school girl named Shibata Shiba met Enma Ai while waiting for the train to pass at the level crossing. Not long after, Shibata Sou's father, Shibata Kazuki, a freelance journalist, was attracted by a rumor about "Hell Communications" while reading a magazine in a cafe, and initially planned to write a report. Later, Shibata asked his daughter Shibata Sou about the hell girl, but at this moment he saw Shibata Sou's confusion. It turned out that Shibata saw the scene he met on the level crossing before, said something Yama Ai once said, and in Then fainted. After seeing this scene, Shibata started to investigate the hell girl. During Shibata Sou's last absence, he saw the scene that Hell Girl had seen before. Shibata Kazu finally learned of Hell Girl's actions and planned to rescue the people who were about to be sent to hell. Unfortunately, it was too late.

After seeing the sight of the cursed man disappearing, Shibata Kazuo did not give up the investigation. Every time Shibata Sou loses his mind, he happens to see the personnel information about Hell Girl. Shibata uses these clues, plus some knowledge he learned during the investigation that may be Hell Girl's background and past, to try to track Hell Girl and prevent her from exiling others. Most of the behaviors that go to hell are unsuccessful (although there are a few examples that seem to be "successful"[2]). At the same time, Hell Girl and Sangao (Hell Girl's three subordinates) learned about Shibata Kazu's actions and monitored his every move. Shibata's father and daughter gradually have differences of opinion - Shibata Kazuo firmly believes that Hell Girl's behavior is wrong, but Shibata Zuo believes that there is a reason for doing so. The relationship between father and daughter seems to be showing signs of discord. During this period, Shibata and his daughter also came to the "Seven Children Temple" based on what their daughter saw when she was absent-minded. The abbot explained to him the allusions of Qitong Temple. On the other hand, Hell Girl Enma Ai seems to be gradually awakening her memory...
