Too much materialism is the goal of the moral lessons given this week Teacher Hell: Jigoku Sensei Nubeusing the second-level student role Shuichi as the focus. We’ve met Shuichi several times – he’s a wealthy kid who always boasts about his family’s wealth and restaurant chain. Like many children born from obscene privileges, he has no idea of the value of property. Just like clean face this season festivalShuichi has no doubts about disposing of objects that are hardly used due to its smaller defects. Since a person who doesn’t have to worry about money, the object is replaceable – if they are not the original perfection, why keep them?
The difference between Shuichi and his wealthy classmates is illustrated by the items he sells at the annual flea market in elementary school. While other kids sell abused old football or hand-shaped clothes, Shuichi brings a large amount of nearly used gaming consoles and offers a full day of yen. He was so disconnected from everyone else that he could not understand Naber’s extreme reaction to such an overblown undervalued property.
The main Yokai of the week is the silly-looking Karakasa Kozō (literally translated: “Paper Umbrella Priest Boy”). This Yokai is often seen in other animes with supernatural themes ge ge no kitaro and Urusei Yatsuraand usually not threatening. Shuichi was frightened by this more than usual appearance of Karakasa Kozō, especially when it seemed to be hunting him before then devoured him and bounced like some kind of possessed pumpkin.
Despite its huge eyes, a terrible tongue, and a strange one foot, it turns out that this umbrella-shaped Yoko doesn’t actually mean that shuichi has any harm. As part of the “Tsukumogami Parade”, it just wanted to thank Shuichi for giving love to preschoolers when it was just a regular yellow umbrella, although he had taken love showers with love before accidentally losing it. There is a long-standing idea of Japanese folklore that after a century of use, the object will gain its own spirit. Nube himself exposes this superstition because there seems to be no time. Any object that is loved and appreciated develops its own sense of self. (The most recent Western equivalent is Pixar’s Toy Story)
In this episode, there are few obvious threats, and the various inanimate objects characterized by malicious intentions, Yokai doesn’t want to express gratitude to their former owners. Shuichi learns a valuable lesson about treating his own property correctly, and even in a poignant moment, learns that sometimes objects can still reach the end of their purpose. As with everything, there is a balance between attachment to objects and waste. It’s a lovely, even obvious and doctrinal message.
The episode received everyone’s favorite threat Mickey blatantly admits that she might consider marrying Shuji, but only for his money. Never change, Mickey.
