Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Episode 3 continues to showcase why it is one of the most violent and horror-filled anime of the spring 2023 season. This episode, titled “Weakness and Strength,” delivers not only intense fight scenes and unsettling monsters but also deeper insights into Gabimaru’s character development and motivations.
The episode begins with the introduction of the Chief of Iwagakure village, who reveals that he acquired an immortal medicine from a faraway land known as Shinsekyo. Gabimaru confirms the existence of the Elixir of Life, calling it ‘Tokijiku no Kagunomi.’ The group then sets off to find the Elixir of Life, with Gabimaru facing off against Keiun, an ex-warrior monk and one of the convicts sent on the mission. The fight scene is masterfully choreographed, showcasing Gabimaru’s nonchalant and gore-filled style.
The second half of the episode takes us back to Gabimaru’s childhood, where we learn that the Chief of Iwagakure killed Gabimaru’s parents and raised him as his own. This revelation adds another layer to Gabimaru’s character and motivations, highlighting how his wife has changed him for the better. Gabimaru and Saigiri engage in a sword fight, but they hesitate to kill each other, showcasing the emotional complexity of their relationship.
The creatures encountered by the group provide a constant sense of danger and tension, making it difficult to predict who will make it out alive. These monsters are truly nightmare fuel, further highlighting the horror aspect of the show.

The animation in this episode is a significant improvement from the previous two episodes. The vibrant colours and stunning imagery of Shinsekyo are brought to life by MAPPA in a way that rivals the striking brightness of Gojo’s eyes in Jujutsu Kaisen season 1. The animation truly shines in this episode, adding a much-needed contrast to the dark and violent nature of the show.
Overall, Hell’s Paradise Episode 3 is a strong addition to the series, with its animation, fight scenes, and horror elements continuing to impress. The glimpses into Gabimaru’s past add depth to his motivations, and the monsters provide a constant sense of danger and tension. The show’s theme of showing emotions and mercy not being a weakness but a testament to one’s humanity is beautifully illustrated in this episode. Fans of violent, horror anime will find a lot to love in Hell’s Paradise.
