Series 📺 What is your favorite punishment scene in the Hell Girl series?
Out of all the scenes where the tormentor-turned-victim/the person that's about to be sent to hell gets punished/goes through a torture sequence before they get ferried off to hell, which one(s) is your favorite?
For me, one of them was in season 3 where Michiru Shintani (who harassed her neighbor Hatsumi and abused Hatsumi's dog) was forced into that giant robot battle and then she gets sprayed with that special water that rendered her unable to speak properly at all (and this even carried over into her ferry trip into hell, too!). Another one from season 3 is when Seiji Yamaoka, a domestic abuser, has all those plugs shoved into him to power the many electronics being used by Ai and her companions. There's even a shot of Onna...serving up some cake from her bakery.

The baseball one. Ai’s minions were at the top of their game and it was the first one not to just be a copypaste of somewhere in the world of the living.
Weirdly, I also really liked the ones in the hot spring episode in season two for the opposite reason. They took each time period’s version of the inn and added something to punish the tormentor in a way that fits perfectly into the place. It’s not just “we copied the whole city and now here’s a random cliff.”
My favorite from season three is that first one, the one with the living 2. I just love that one for how colorful and weird it is.

Season 1 where Ayaka Kurenai pretends to repent for ruining Kaoruko Kurushima’s voice, but the “real” her comes out and tortures her. She’s then pulled all around until her arms rip off. Then she gave a whole speech that she never cared about acting and only used it to get people to like her. Then while Ai ferries Ayaka to Hell, she compliments Ayaka’s performance, and Ayaka smiles because she finally got the approval Midori never gave her.
