Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Episode 7 Review: Ju Fa And Tao Fa Fight

The 7th episode of Hell’s Paradise Season 2 was again brilliant, with Tao Fa fighting with Gantetsusai and Fuchi. Let us see how this episode turned out.

Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Episode 6 Recap

The episode opens with the heroes immediately thrown into crisis. Gabimaru is forced into a direct confrontation with Ran, a formidable hand-to-hand combatant. They had already agreed that encountering any of the Tensen would require them to abandon their initial strategy and adapt on the spot. To make matters worse, Gabimaru’s tao aligns with fire, while Ran’s is water, an elemental matchup that naturally puts Gabimaru at a disadvantage.

As the fight begins, that imbalance is obvious from the outset. Ran appears to control the tempo, pressing the advantage. Yet midway through the clash, everything shifts when Gabimaru succeeds in landing the first decisive hit. The tone of the battle changes entirely, transitioning into a more evenly matched and intense exchange. Meanwhile, the outlook for the rest of their allies remains grim, as the Tensen continue to demonstrate overwhelming superiority.

The episode’s latter half escalates the tension even further. Ran activates Kishikai, transforming into a new and far more terrifying form. It becomes clear that Ran stands among the most powerful of the Tensen.

Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Episode 7 Review

This episode begins, and right off the bat, it seemed like Toma would go towards Chobei because of their connection. It almost felt like Toma would join the dark side, and that would be the end of it. However, the way things switched up, and both brothers lined up to attack Ju Fa and Tao Fa, was not something that I expected. This segment was exceptionally animated as we could see the growth that Toma went through.

On the other hand, Tao Fa starts to fight with Gantetsusai and Fuchi, who become overwhelmed with her powers after some time. As they are not as efficient with their Tao, it becomes a pattern that they will not be able to fight normally with her and win. That is when they remember the training they received regarding Tao. The sad part is, Fuchi’s element is actually the dominating one in his fight with Tao Fa, but because he can’t use Tao, he’s at a disadvantage.

Something interesting happens in this episode as we see the inner perspective of Tao Fa. She accepts that she is not having fun at all while luring humans in and surviving off of them for thousands of years. She also accepts that she will not be able to get perfect immortality like this. Apparently, the other Tensen know very well that what they’re doing is not sustainable, yet they do it because they do not know any other way. Weirdly enough, things finally start to change towards the end.

Gantetsusai and Fuchi come a lot closer and go beyond just enemies. Fuchi genuinely wanted everyone to survive and make an escape from the island. All the criminals have now become more attached to their executioners and vice versa.

Verdict

The way this episode started and then ended was really good, as it showed the immense amount of training everyone went through for the final struggle. The animation was also really good, making the fights look exceptionally well-choreographed. I absolutely loved this episode, and I am patiently waiting for the next one.
