3 likesHell Mode Episode 14: Kiel Joins the Party in Tears — What Japan Said
Under a fan review of Hell Mode's episode 14 — season 2's second episode — a small Japanese comment thread of 20 replies spent most of its energy on one moment: the ending theme kicking in mid-scene as Kiel joins the party in tears. One comment breaks down exactly how the show reordered its own ending sequence to land the beat, and another simply says it made them cry. The same thread also traces why the scene works — season 1 spent an entire arc building Kiel's backstory as a servant with nowhere else to go — before pivoting to a very different kind of surprise: how a comically corrupt viscount from season 1 ended up with genuinely decent kids, and whether the family's greed is hereditary too. By the end, the same two commenters had gone from crying over one character's death to joking about another's inherited stinginess, back to back.
