Hell's Paradise - Jigokuraku episode 3: Gabimaru battles against Twisted Keiun, Asaemon Kisho warns Sagiri and advice to stay cautious
Trending
Jigokuraku episode 3 started off with Gabimaru mentioning the Iwagakure chief's immortal body. Based on this, it is possible that the Elixir of Life is real, and if it's real, it could be on that mysterious island.
As Gabimaru and Sagiri explored the island with a little debate about keeping Gabimaru restrained, a sudden attack pushed Gabimaru away. It was later shown that the attack came from another deadly convict named Twisted Keiun. While Gabimaru remained unharmed, Keiun revealed his collection of weapons, which he wanted to try on Gabimaru.
Despite Keiun’s body armor and strength, Gabimaru demonstrates his prowess by easily countering his barrage of weapons. This intense battle showcases Gabimaru's exceptional combat skills and serves as a reminder of the deadly challenges that await the duo on the island.
Kisho’s warning to Sagiri and a message about Iwagakure’s assassins’ arrival
Jigokuraku episode 3 introduced Yamada Asaemon Kisho, a fellow Asaemon who dismissed the importance of rules set by the shogun and let Gabimaru and Keiun battle. After the battle ended between Gabimaru and Keiun, Keiun’s Asaemon executioner, Kisho, beheaded his prisoner and took his head as he had to submit it as proof of Keiun’s death.
Before departing, Kisho warned Sagiri to stay safe as she was standing beside a criminal. Kisho explained that the situation on that island was about to turn adverse.
Every prisoner would turn against each other to survive and get the Elixir of Life first. The Shogunate made contact with Iwagakure to have their assassins sent to the island. This startled Gabimaru, as he knew how vicious the assassins of Iwagakure were.
Kisho also warned Sagiri about the Asaemon members too, as the rumor about choosing the next leader of the Yamada Asaemon clan roaming, the chance of dragging others down was high.
Gabimaru's emotional turmoil
In Jigokuraku episode 3, Gabimaru experienced emotional turmoil upon learning about the involvement of Iwagakure's assassins. After Kisho's departure, the situation took a dramatic turn when Gabimaru unexpectedly attacked Sagiri. This caught her off guard, making her question her understanding of Gabimaru's resentment.
Both Sagiri and Gabimaru hesitated during their confrontation, but Gabimaru tried to maintain his resolve as he grappled with the belief that sentimentality was a weakness. He fought Sagiri with the intent to kill her in order to prove his strength and secure his survival.
As Gabimaru battled Sagiri, he recalled the Iwagakure Chief's teachings that emotions were weaknesses. His desire to survive and reunite with his wife drove him to consider Sagiri a hindrance to his mission, fearing that if the Iwagakure assassins arrived, everything would be in vain.
However, Gabimaru's wife's influence on him made him realize that emotions could be a source of strength rather than a liability. This led to a turning point in the relationship between Gabimaru and Sagiri, changing the course of their journey together beyond that of executioners and prisoners.
Sagiri's role as an unlikely ally
As Sagiri accepted her defeat and waited for the final blow from Gabimaru, she noticed that he was hesitating and finally realized that he was not hollow from the inside. With Gabimaru’s emotions, she even understood her own and aligned them with him.
In Jigokuraku episode 3, Sagiri's determination to uphold her morals and her promise to support Gabimaru throughout their journey to find the Elixir of Life cemented her role as an unlikely ally.
She challenged Gabimaru's perception of sentimentality and helped him understand that it was not a weakness but a strength that could propel him forward. Her unwavering belief in his ability to change allowed him to come to terms with his emotions, setting the stage for a deeper bond between the two characters.
The appearance of the dangerous creatures
In the final stages of Jigokuraku episode 3, Tamiya Gantetsusai and his Asaemon executioner, Fuchi, were introduced. As they were stunned to see the man-made objects around them, Gantetsusai noticed a butterfly sitting on his hand and flying off.
He then lucidly noticed that the butterfly had a man’s face and stung his hand. Recalling the fate of the guard who had previously returned from the island, he immediately took action and separated his wrist as it began to sprout flowers.
Filled with anticipation, he readied himself to fend off the encroaching creatures. Suddenly, he spotted a massive beast approaching from behind, causing him to feel alarmed. Simultaneously, in Jigokuraku episode 3, Gabimaru and Sagiri encountered another mysterious creature. Gabimaru instructs Sagiri to keep her distance while he braces himself for battle.
Final thoughts
Jigokuraku episode 3 is a powerful exploration of the complexities of human emotions and the importance of forming alliances in a hostile environment. The episode masterfully blends action and character development, offering a captivating viewing experience that leaves audiences eager for more.
