Imagine a hell where it's every minor inconvenience in life. Like, not remembering where you put your phone even though you just had it in your hand a moment ago and only put it down for five seconds. Or eating cold spaghetti. Or drinking warm beer. Or wearing wet socks. Or being short five cents at a grocery store. I would be truly miserable.
A never ending cycle of getting up, opening the fridge, closing it without taking something, then sitting back down. Truly the horrors of Hell are unfathomable.
No matter the theology, Hell is pretty metal. Kind of want a level in DOOM where you rip and tear through Jigoku, fighting Dragons, Tengu, and Oni. Also, that art by Tori Clough was gorgeous, love the silhouettes in the background.
It'd be awesome if future Doom games incorporated other Hell mythologies! The Marauder in Eternal has some Oni like design elements, but there's definitely a lot of untapped potential.
@@ZettaiJapan Apparently the devs have planned to put in Dragons and Ogre Mechs for the DLCs, so who knows, maybe they will. Would be awesome to have an Asura fight.
Have ya'll noticed that this Kasahara Guy (16:10) is a reference to cult leader Shoko Asahara? The movie was made in 1999, so it makes perfect sense to take revenge on this maniac in a medial way.
0:42 Breaking my head for hours to remember which game that song is... I knew I remember it from somewhere. Then I loose fate in my poor memory and prepared some crêpes with nutella for breakfast and while cleaning the dishes I remember "rave on from killer7", damn it!, ¿Why my memory have to be like that?!, ¿Why it took me so loong!? Anyway, great video man!, Also thanks for your great taste for the ost selection, not just for smt ost but overall in the video feels amazingly atmospheric! Thinking about a personal hell... A hell I would hate is something like this : They give you everything you can eat and drink, but you're forced to watch all the godzilla american movies but with all the kaiju scenes deleted, so all you got is the humans doing stupid stuff forever, clockwork orange style! Spooky isn't it?!
There's probably not a lot to say about a dimension full of people that have found their inner peace. But there are plenty of more metal Buddhist Realms to explore, including the a world full of 'Hungry Ghost'
There's another word for Hell in Japanese, "Naraku (奈落)", which derives from the Sanskrit word "Naraka." If you remember, Inuyasha has a character named Naraku.
That "Mugen Jigoku" does not sound at all like a zone in which a group of savvy people make a revolution against hell and win because not even the onis want to step on that territory.
Very cool video! It's interesting that Buddhists put so much detail into describing the tortures of hell. I also think that it sound like a much fairer and sensible system; obv all those punishments sound terrible but at least there's different punishments for all sorts of different actions? Whereas in Christian hell you get burned for eternity no matter the action, whether you were a murderer or just...not a Christian Also liked the small mention of Jigoku Shoujo! Criminally underrated show.
I like how it also gives you a chance at redemption before being reincarnated. It's a nice way of thinking. "You're trash, but at least you can be redeemed. Unless you're really fucking bad, then there's no way we're releasing you back into the cycle of reincarnation."
What are you talking about? The Christian version also has a system where a person faces a different punishment depending on his sins. Read Dante's Inferno.
@@howardgreenwood542 dantes inferno isnt canon. it has VERY few similarities with the biblical description of hell. hell in pop culture is based on heavily dante's inferno however. im not even Christian and i know that.
@@howardgreenwood542 Mugen, or Avīci, is not eternal. The term 無間 follows the meaning in Sanskrit which is "without intermission." It is the worst of the hells in which the tormented beings there suffer with absolutely no respite. The time one spends there varies from person to person, but it is generally regarded as the longest lasting modes of birth as a hell-being. Only a buddha or powerful bodhisattva may bring relief before such a being is reborn into a higher realm.
I did come across that while I was doing research for this video, that is a common origin for Oni. Some people are so evil that they can turn into an Oni before they die, and that's where you get most of the mountainside variety of Oni.
If you want to see all these images and alot of information about each hell I recommend an amazing book which I bought its called hell in Japanese art its about 500 and something pages of nonstop Japanese hell art from different time periods in Japan it does cost alot coming in at around 50 euro for me since I come from Ireland its on amazon isn't hard to find amazing video btw been looking for a vid like this for ages very informative XD
LOL! What do you think it would stop hurting? Like you'll get used to it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Not possible! No one will get used to the amount of intensity that Jigoku has.
"Oni crushing their bones" *shows a picture of the god Tenseikei eating evil spirits, most notably plague god Gozu Tennou* Lol. That picture was from the Extermination of Evil Paiting Set, which isn't a Hell Scroll. Still a cool video though, even if a bit basic (there's lots you left out/neglected to explain).
The clip was from Jigoku (1979), I was mainly using it as a bit of B-Roll because otherwise I would be cycling through the same set of Hell Scroll images over and over. I appreciate knowing where that was from though!
I was also raised with the fire and brimstone hell. So Imagine my suprise hearing the belief that Japanese 'demons' are just like... chillin on mountaintops

Niiiiiiiice! That would be a fun trip. My brother got to stay in Okinawa and Seoul and do work there. I can't wait to go. They have folklore and religious studies that predate the KJV Bible. Good video. This just reminds me of being in a desert or jungle and you wander into a cave looking for an under water spring. Like Abdullah in Yemen. Muhammad in Cave Hira. Christ has his own cave story (Bethlehem). Imagine going into a cave and finding some Kyuuketsuki or Kapa like we see Ninja turtles.... That's where the stories come from. 🤔💭 🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐀...... You lean in for a drink in an underground pond and they are peaking out of the water.... Mermaids stories... I'm going off trail here but you get it. Maybe they snuck out of Meido 🤔Why is it most...and I say most of these things something the America should adopt. For example....🤣 "Presidents an asshole".... Going to have a long boat ride. Everybody else who is helping out their economy, watching anime, and learning history & folklore and loves their neighbors takes off like they stole a Predator 🚢 Ship. Do your homework, be nice and learn your 🎻. Video 🎮 games are a bonus. Leaning how to take over hell. Catholic's have the Pope. He sold out. I'm talking about something completely different. I mean Devil May Cry.... Dante's Inferno, Ghost Wire....
I have some questions. It doesn't mention anything about drugs so are drugs lumped into the same category as alcohol or could I be popping pills, smoking crack, weed, and meth while snorting lines of cocaine between tokes every single day and still go to Japanese Heaven? Also, does the effect your sin had on others factor in? If someone killed either themselves or a bunch of innocent people because of your lie than yes, but would you also be sentenced to eternal torture if you only lied to not hurt someone's feelings (ie, telling your girlfriend she looks amazing in that dress when you actually think it looks like she's wearing a diaper.) Would you still be punished for murder if someone was trying to kill you and you had no choice but to kill them in self defense? What if you killed someone who was a monster that raped and murdered children or someone who was planning to commit an act of terrorism? Would Enma take note that you killing this person prevented the deaths of countless innocent people? Would the would-be terrorist I killed receive punishment for what he planned to do? Also, the oni for the eternal Hell must be really bored because how often is someone a... (deep breath) murderer, liar, thief, alcoholic, assaulter of those who follow Buddhist teachings AND a child molester? Also, I do agree with your assessment for the 1999 Jigoku, it looks way too silly and cheesy to be scary and the special effects are AWFUL, especially what's supposed to be a face without skin, definitely a film you'd watch while drunk and/or stoned and make fun of it. Granted, the effects in the original 1960 movie weren't perfect, but they still look great for the time and especially for the first splatter flick! The 1979 movie... it looks to be better than the 1999 movie, but still not near as good as the 1960 version.
In my fantasy world of Astea, Jigoku is one of the 36 Princes of Hell (chosen due to the significance of the 36 demons of disease encountered by Solomon), and Enma is one of my seven Lords of Hell.

Not as metal as the Christian one. The Christian one is eternal while this isn't. 😁😁😁

I’ve heard that if one is evil enough, according to Buddhist beliefs, one can actually turn into an Oni. Can you confirm or deny this?
I did come across that while I was doing research for this video, that is a common origin for Oni. Some people are so evil that they can turn into an Oni before they die, and that's where you get most of the mountainside variety of Oni.
This makes the Judeo-Christian Hell look like a zoo trip. Sure enough, Japanese don't mess around.

As a follower of Chinese Pureland Buddhism this was really good video, wish there were more Buddhist horror films
I’m getting a back tattoo of Lord Yama (Enma) a week from now, too stoked!
Go Boston, Reddo sokkusu! Aight fr great video I learned alot and compared to some lectures in school it wasn‘t made boring.
Japan have the second worst hell,after Brazilian hell
Isn't Brazilian Hell just Brazil?
Well, there's also north corea hell and venezuela hell, so yeah... Worst even.
@@ZettaiJapan dropping them truth bombs up in here I see. Don’t know if hell yet, but our President sure turned it into a cemetery.
Released a video about the roots of Japanese horror today, when talking about Jigoku I made sure to refer to your video and channel :)
Unfortunately I can speak German, but I can tell you put a lot of research and effort into that video. Good work!
God this channel is a hidden gem
In the anime Jigoku Shoujo, Jigoku is eternal just like the Christian version contrary to the traditional Japanese Jigoku.
Jigoku Shoujo anime is the best
To be honest, im here to get an idea on what happens to the demons that are killed in demon slayer. Muzan would without a doubt go to Mugen Jigoku
Really fun video. Great stuff
Im just commenting to support you tbh 🙏
This intro is fucking insane man!!👏🏻
Feel like this stuff would stop hurting or being bad after like a month or 2. Like the falling pit thing sounds metal af.
LOL! What do you think it would stop hurting? Like you'll get used to it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Not possible! No one will get used to the amount of intensity that Jigoku has.
its a shame this vid dosent have the views it deserves
Rave On?! I love this channel.

Oh, you went for SMT3 Nocturne's Oni
I thought it was a paradise or an island, and people turn into flowers. Some collective group plans to find the exlir of youth there as well
The footage traumatized me
What's the song used in the background throughout? It's pretty funky. One of your best videos btw
Used a couple different songs, but if it's funky it was probably from Hausu.
@@ZettaiJapan plz, what's the movie you're going to review ?
@@ZettaiJapan by the way, courtroom being litterally hell in japan knowing the reputation of defense lawyers considered as jokes
Stellar acting.
Oh
I'm surprised you didn't use anything from Hozuki's Coolheadedness?
All's about hell..
Was expecting the description of the 8th Hell to segue into the singing Goldfish plants, myself.
I love your killer7 Intro song 💪
Why are there no visuals on the great cold hells.
Question : what would jigoku do, if I was a Sado-machochist who loved self torture and mutilation?
Bruh
They would give you a job as a torturer.
0:17 yeah I prefer dantes interpretation honestly
Where did you find a copy of the 1970's Jigoku remake? I've been trying to hunt it down for quite awhile
I still haven't found it
It's finally getting put on home video in english, so now I can finally watch it
Great music coming in at around 6:10 - what's the song called?
Tokio Morishima's theme from The Silver Case.

How about The Quarantine Hell, or to be damned listening to Biebers music uuuugggghhh.
Everyone pause it at 9:45 and pick a hell before you know anything about it. See if you get a relatively decent punishment.
I came here from Hozuki no Reitetsu, which is set in Hell
What's the music for 16:15?
F
I wanted to know as well 😔
Image Shun Goku Satsu of Akuma, the thousand strike murder of hell
What about 8 cold hells an 16 lesser ones, don't bother with 64000 ones.
thing with Japanese hell its not eternal damnation like Christian hell
I'm not sure the word cool for hell is the right word here
I'll stick with the incontrovertible truth of the Bible.
