I'd say that even though Kayako didn't start off as an evil being, once she died, her rage consumed her and made it impossible for her to find any peace, so others would be forced to suffer as well to feel what she does. Because the house limited her hatred, she found a way to be free from her limitations and roam the world spreading as much misery as possible with no more restrictions. I believe that in her mind, she hates that others have what she lacks like love, happiness and peace, but since all she feels is pain, why should they be allowed to feel what she no longer can? Hatred without restraint causes nothing but endless suffering and that can spread very easily like an incurable sickness to others if it’s allowed to dictate one's whole existence, so for this ending, it just makes sense for her character and for the story as a whole to end like this. With her hatred never ending and what her plan truly was to stay a dreadful mystery we can discuss forever, but not truly knowing the full extent of what she's done or what she's still doing now.
@@chanyeol9248 I feel Ju-On: The Curse (2000) is a bit more effective than Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) but Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003) on the other hand is disturbingly good and the ending of the film is one of my favourites in the entire franchise, even more effective than all 3 movies before it
someone once asked me if i'd like to be a famous actor, i said no, i'd like to be that guy you've seen in all the movies but don't for the life of you kow who he is, the guy that can walk right by you, and just never be recognized, because that man, has a long and varied career as an actor and will ALWAYS get work, he might not get the big parts or a lot of money, but he has enough to live comfortably, do what he loves, and as he gets older, due to a lack of type casting he can play a bunch of different characters lol
Doug Jones comes to mind as this person.. Everyone has seen him in something but he is almost always in make up as a monster or other worldly being so no one sees his face to recognize him as one of the most famous horror actors to date.
I always question why it wouldn't be the husband who ended up haunting the house, being the most tortured of souls out of the whole family, you would think he would be the one you need to worry about.
Well I think, its because Takeo was supposed to be an abusive controlling husband and well, Kayako was a submissive housewife. So when Kayako died all of her pent up anger was released and so as a result she became the dominant ghost that ended up driving the curse in the house. Takeo also died in rage though since he was paranoid about Kayako cheating on him and he snapped when he found the journal. I also think Kayako has the ability to hold on to the spirits of the people that she kills like the schoolgirls in Ju-on The Grudge almost like their will is replaced with Kayakos. Whenever a family moves in to the Saeki house it seems like a lot of the time but not always, the husband ends up being influenced by Takeo's spirit and it was Kayako who killed him in the T.V. movie, my theory is that Kayako is the one who is controlling or pulling the strings making them go through the samethings she did.
Kayako’s spirit killed Takeo in vengeance, while he is the originator of the Grudge curse, she is the most powerful. However, his spirit has claimed others, too, namely Rika in Ju On The Grudge and Detective Nakagawa in The Grudge (American).
Oh, I remember those shorts stories, they were uploaded on youtube when the site begun, and some title them as "japanese ghost footage" and stuff like that.
I feel like in the Juon: The Curse 1 and Juon: The Grudge 1 Kayako seems more or less gentle and in despair(?) In Juon: The Curse 1 Kayako has empathy for Kobayashi with her calling out his name before killing him. In Juon: The Grudge at the ending scene Kayako looks like she's reaching out for help or trying to warn Rika. She looked desperate somehow. I can't ever really get that image of her out of my head. Especially the look in her eyes. And then in the second counterparts of the Curse and Grudge she's just ruthless. I find that quite interesting.
The American remake just has the ghost kid cat meowing without context just like in the haunting remake with the actress saying "who has my hand?" Out of nowhere
Seriously! How can Juon NOT scare you? I get that’s it’s fictional but NO way you wouldn’t be frightened if it was real. We’d ALL die because that curse is deadly. Even if you never enter the house if you contact someone who did you’re dead. And kayako is known for breaking ppls bodies in hand
This film series terrified my little brother so much he doesn't have a TV in his room to this day. As for me, I like the idea of a curse you can never get rid of. Very creepy and almost a bit Lovecraftian - the bad thing is inexplicable, it's there, it wants to hurt you because it's noticed you, and *you can never, ever escape from it.* I also prefer to call 4444...4 "Many 4's" because it's very fun to say. Many 4's, Many 4's, Many 4's... :3
you'd sell out too if you happen to be a pretty obscure director who just happened to strike gold in two low budget films and will probably never see the same kind of success for the rest of your career
Great, now I want a Ju-on and Kamen Rider crossover. What's next? Ringu and Super Sentai? Also, I know you were probably joking, but Kill Bill and Battle Royale are both masterpeices. Fight me.
Great video, you've really got me excited to watch these movies. Though I've been looking for the fan edit of the first two movies and couldn't really find anything online. If you have a link or something it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass it my way, thanks for the consistently quality content.
I got the fan-edit off a private tracker. It unfortunately doesn't look like he uploaded it anywhere else, but if you want to make the edit yourself just cut out the first two segments of The Curse 2 and attach the rest to the end of The Curse 1.
I really love the first ju on, the grudge i find it a better than the american remake. This bitch scared me so bad as a child when the commercials would show up, “MOM SHUT OFF THE TV AAGHHHH”
And woth the JU-ON reboot came Sadako vs Kayako, Japan's equivalent of Freddy vs Jason. Spoiler alert, it does not go well. Sadako pulls Toshio into the TV and destroys Kayako's body before the latter reforms abd destroys Sadako's tape. This leads to both surviving and the exorcist deciding as a last resort that merging the two curses/onryō into one was a good idea to get rid of them. It fails horribly, creating "Sadakaya".
the american remakes are very good at least the first and second are very creepy and scary the third one was very disappointing save the ending starting a new cycle with a new curse introducing Kayako's younger sister as a vengeful spirit after being murdered in a more gruesome manner than her sister which makes her more terrifying than Kayako in my opinion.
do you go into the three us films? or did sony flag you? I think I already know your opinion but still would love a video. Also, planning to see the new film this Friday?
Yeah Sony flagged the US Films, and just to give you a hint as to my opinion on them the video is titled "Ju-On: The Bad". I will absolutely be seeing the new Grudge in theaters because it looks terrible and like it has nothing to do with the rest of franchise. Probably not going to pay full price for it.
@@ZettaiJapan are you going to try and upload them again but have it different, I just started watching your videos and would love to see your full take on the American remakes
Dude, I've watched this and your ring videos like 10 times by this point. I'm really curious to see"the bad" ju-on video you had. But it is blocked. You gotta reupload it. Or, if you know what country it isn't blocked in, that way I can use a VPN. Great stuff btw! If it's blocked everywhere, I can offer a few things that RUclips won't detect. I've had to deal with it myself
Sorry that I'm replying to this so late, most countries outside of North America have it unblocked. Unfortunately I appealed and it was rejected, so it doesn't look like it's coming back anytime soon.
Man, I can't tell you how excited I am to see that part 2:The Bad is finally available in the u.s. I literally come back to this and your ring series all the time. I enjoy your way to going in depth that a lot of channels don't do. Top tier imo.
Ringu is a better movie than Ju-on. Ju-on Grudge never felt like a movie but a collection of short clips. Ringu however, has a great story and actually cares about the plot.
battle royale was intresting worth a watch a total gore fest just think the hunger games just much better. basicly hunger games with japanese high school students on an island brutally slaughtering each other.

I LOVE JU-On: The Grudge 2!!!! I AGREE ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST! TOTALLY UNDERRATED
FIRST???!!! YOU MEAN ITS BETTER THAN THE 3RD FILM!!
@@MASAHIRO-X- I meant much better than the first Grudge. I forgot to include it before.
@@GabrielGamingAtYt oh yeah Ju-On: The Curse (2000) and Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003) are my favourite Ju-On movies
Agree, I Love Juon The Grudge 1 is so scary but tge Juon The Grudge 2 is more more more scary

I always question why it wouldn't be the husband who ended up haunting the house, being the most tortured of souls out of the whole family, you would think he would be the one you need to worry about.
But the dad really didn't die with anger of sadness.Like if you got killed by you're dad or you're one true love won't you be mad and sad.

Im one of the few who loved the newest American Grudge movie. Loved the dark bleak feel. Super underrated
Ju-On: White Ghost has some of the most brutal violence I've ever seen in a movie.
Eh not fore me we cut before we see anything
Oh, I remember those shorts stories, they were uploaded on youtube when the site begun, and some title them as "japanese ghost footage" and stuff like that.

My favourite ju-on would be the first one... kayako is just a onryu with no other objectives but to torment everyone that steps into the house
The American remake just has the ghost kid cat meowing without context just like in the haunting remake with the actress saying "who has my hand?" Out of nowhere
Shimizu wasn't involved in the third American Grudge movie, which is why it's hellish trash shit.
Battle Royale is one of the best newer japanese films! That J-Splatter films that came after are that I want to die
9:51 not gonna lie, I knew what was gonna happen and was just waiting for it, and then Crash scared the FUCK out of me lol
Oh god watching this video at night all alone was a mistake!!
Asshole put a jumpscare Crash Bandicoot at 9:54 and I am so angry I jumped at that.
These actor gags are the best
"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
4:25.... Dude those effects were great for television/video. X-Files/Buffy quality. That shot scared the fuck outta me.
I love ju on. I was never scared of it really, I was just interested, I love Japanese horror in general.

Kill Bill is a masterpiece. Anybody that disagrees, I hope *ju* d *on* t wake up again

After watching Ju On my black car suddenly decided to become a prankster smh
you'd sell out too if you happen to be a pretty obscure director who just happened to strike gold in two low budget films and will probably never see the same kind of success for the rest of your career
May I say creepy as hell, which is why I watch these movies with the lights on
I accidentaly played the first few seconds while I was playing minecraft and it scared the frick out of me
Juon was filmed inside the real Kayako’s house.
jesus christ, such a well put together video
Mizuho and Noriko’s death happen at the same time...

Great movie
I watch your videos on 1.5, I mostly do 2 on youtube.
lol how could you listen to anything on 2.
i am really interested in what kind of channels you watch.
Don't care about Battle Royale?! What?!
My thought exactly!
That would suck major to see both of those creatures
Hey now, White Ghost/Black Ghost aren't reboots, they're seperate stories of seperate curses so I think that gets a pass.
Groovy.
I would like to see a Kayako vs the girl from Ringu one day, as a fan something that I am.
it’s your lucky day,! kayako vs sadako came out I think 2 maybe 3 years ago? it’s good silly fun, doesn’t take itself too seriously.
how do you not care for battle royale, it is definitely one of the best japanese films of its time
The actress playing Hitomi is so beautiful.
Like an Asian Eliza Schlezinger.
So I guess we cannot see the the bad version Jon video lol. Damn. I wanted to see it.
I wish they would put kayako up against like a traditional spiritualist/exorcist instead of the helpless. I wanna see a desperate battle of wills
It won't work they tried that with mimiko and sadako they got wrecked onryo's are overpowered curses
They kind of did that in Ju-On the curse 1 and 2. The character Kyoko was a psychic.
Can I get a link to that fan edit?
I love ju on 2

Nah, The Grudge 2 is a great movie, but better than the first? Never.
Nah I did not like ju on the grudge 2002 I prefer the sequel
Does anyone know what this piece of music is at 13:36? Is it from 'Ju-On: The Grudge 2' or somewhere else?
He didn’t sell out. The remake was a better version of the first. The second one was decent.
Do you think it is possible to reupload your Ju-on: The Bad video? It got blocked in my country.
School Ghost Stories G, is that one of the movies that spawned the Ghost Stories Anime?
