Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Episode Recap
The episode of Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku follows Gabimaru on his journey to find the Elixir of Life for the Shogunate. According to Gabimaru, the Chief of Iwagakure was able to become immortal thanks to a medicine he obtained from a nation across the ocean. Given the possibility of an Elixir of Life, this information suggests Gabimaru’s quest might not have succeeded.
On the island to which he and his team are traveling, Shinenkyo, he is unclear whether the elixir is present. Twisted Keiun, a sentenced criminal who tries to kill Sagiri with a wrecking ball, interrupts Gabimaru and Sagiri while they are debating the likelihood of discovering the elixir. Keiun is looking for the elixir and thinks killing people would help him get it.
Even with his hands tied, Gabimaru still manages to kill Keiun. The executioner, Yamada Asaemon Kisho, who accompanied Gabimaru and Sagiri, beheads Keiun and departs without concern for his fate. This episode takes a surprising turn when Gabimaru attacks Sagiri with a sword, admitting that he wishes to kill her painlessly. Sagiri is quick to defend herself and asks Gabimaru what he means.
Even though Gabimaru admits he is trying to kill her, this scene highlights Gabimaru’s true nature, as it reveals his character’s complexity. His parents were murdered as a child by the Chief of Iwagakure. His emotional weakness, especially love, had been ingrained in him since then.
In response to the Iwagakure Chief’s encouragement, Gabimaru believes killing Sagiri is necessary to protect the Shogunate’s hope of finding the Elixir of Life. He believes killing Sagiri will protect the Shogunate. While fighting Yamada Asaemon Kisho, Gabimaru hesitates to hurt him, revealing that his beliefs are perhaps not as absolute as he thought.
As Gabimaru shows his superior swordsman skills, Sagiri is forced to fight without her sword in the intense fight between him and Sagiri. It becomes increasingly apparent as the fight progresses that Gabimaru is struggling with himself. He realizes that taking someone’s life doesn’t come naturally to him. At the same time, Sagiri faces the same dilemma. Though she knows this man is supposed to be a cold-blooded killer, she observes that he is struggling.
She motivates Gabimaru to confront his emotions and recover his life. She reminds him that love and feelings are not flaws and that he does not have to pretend not to feel anything. Gabimaru agrees to save Sagiri’s life in response to this appeal. This is the start of a new arc for Gabimaru’s character.
As a result, he is willing to reconsider his position, realizing that his beliefs may not be absolute. Overall, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Episode 3 is a captivating and thought-provoking episode that deepens Gabimaru’s character. In this episode, the Elixir of Life is presented as a possibility, adding a new dimension to the story.
