Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, Vol. 13
by Yuji Kaku
“THE PUNISHMENT OF THE
DAMNED...
IT IS A
PORTRAIT OF HELL.”
“YOU SEE, SINNERS ARE BURNED IN PERPETUITY BY THE HELLFIRE OF GOKUSOTSU
TORTURERS.”
The final volume kicks off with a bang, with the burning ship of cargo headed for mainland Woguo with the battle between Rien, Shugen, and Gabimaru setting the stage for an epic showdown. When everyone climbed aboard and the full battle commenced my jaw dropped. The intensity of the series has been at the forefront of every volume so far, and this volume only extenuates it for the final volume. I love the juxtaposition of all the violence to Asaemon Jikka objectively speaking on the lost cause that Shugen, Sagiri, and Gabimaru put themselves through against Rien. The split-second timing of their strike against the Master and Rien was flawless, and one of the best panels in the series I have seen. It was a little bit of whiplash to see our survivors back on the mainland and getting the world that was left behind basically the same as it was before, at least for the Shogun and his surroundings. The bittersweet nature of the last couple of chapters really made the whole journey such a redeeming and memorable one, and I can only say how satisfied I was with the outcome of everyone, and for how violent and graphic this series has been, the touching and heartwarming nature or everyone getting a happy ending was shocking to say the least. A perfect ending to a near perfect series.
