you missed the part when the guy slit the preggo woman's throat, she began to let out the iconic "grudge" croaking sound that was so famous from the older movies
@@quadlex19 just before he cuts the baby put of her and she's struggling to walk to the couch . Idk if it was supposed to be grudge croaking sounds but it sounded like that to me personally and I accidently saw the movies when I was like 12 or 13. Scared the shit outta me
the pregnant lady killing, the phone etc.. is all inspired by a real event that is still unsolved till this day. called the nagoya pregnant ripper case.

@@rinreborn7364 Not all American horror movies are bad, we've made some of the best. The west basically revolutionized the genre. (Also not all American horror movies use jump scares) Just because one country has good horror movies doesn't mean you should bash another nation.
I can relate, after watching the grudge when I was young, I was scared of looking at my tv while it was off, the black screen made me think something would crawl out
I'm showing my age if you were 5 years old when the original grudge came out. Good for you. You have plenty of years left to live life. (And kick you in the butt many times along the way) Wish you the best, honestly. Sometimes comments just make me realize the huge difference in opinions and different times
all of the news stories in the show are actual events that happened in Japan 1988: Furuta Junko’s murder 1994: The Matsumoto sarin gas attack 1995: Great Hanshin earthquake 1995: The Tokyo subway sarin gas attack 1997: the Kobe child murders The child killer referred to as “M” over several episodes is based on the real life “Little Girl Murderer” Miyazaki Tsutomu
The subway sarin gas attacks were so fucked up. I remember hearing of this poor guy he was the subway manager for that stop, so basically like the manager of a store, he just kept everything running, etc did little stuff that needed done quickly, etc. Well, the thing is, at first, no one knew what the gas was (it was a liquid in bags wrapped in news paper. The attackers left the newspaper bundles on the train and around the station, pierced them with umbrella tips as they got up to walk away, letting them leak all over the floor. That poor manager... he went to clean up the mess... he suddenly keeled over just like that. Just a guy trying to soak up some "water" he saw spilled on the floor. :( The trains also made it to the next station when they opened the gas released there too. It was a nightmare. This is why you don't see many trash cans in Japan anymore.

Just a note: Many of the stories spoken about in the background are very real Japanese crimes: IE, Junko Furuta in 1988, the 1992 Aum Shinrikyo Sarin Gas attack in a Tokyo Subway, and the Kobe Child Murders in 1997.
@@QuietFury9 I swear! I found it so hard to even believe what I was reading. May her soul rest in peace. I wish the perpetrators were given death or life imprisonment Atleast. They're all literally free now. Like wtf
I think the news about the boys putting the girl in the barrel is about Junko Furuta which is a case that really happened around the time this is set in.
Of course, she basically had a psychotic mother that must have driven her father away, her school mates had her raped, her husband was not providing enough money, forcing her into prostitution, her son was abused and murdered, her junkie ex-husband pestered her and made it way to easy to kill him and then she realised she was at the point of no return. She actually could have a normal life after the rape, if she had married a good man, instead of her rapist. And oh yeah, she framed her ex-teacher or principal for raped and murder.
@@nodinitiative she already possessed/in control by the ghost house after she encountered the lady in white in the closet, which explained all the horrible choices she makes after she left the house
Yeah, In the beginning. She had to transfer schools because of a scandal . That the Dad ran after raping Kiyomi. The Mom blames her , says she seduced him/drove him off. Then getting raped,and possessed in the house . The tragedy of her family. I wonder if her dad stepped in the house too?
@Content Corrector Understand what you're saying, but this leads down a very dangerous path. Your brain isn't even fully developed until you're well into your 20's and that's just one of the many reasons that a distinction between child criminals and adult criminals is made.
Here's my explanation: The curse began with the landowners' son kidnapping the lady in white. She appears in the attic because that's were she ultimately died. After giving birth to her son she gave it away to 6 year old Yasuo (the writter) in 1966. There are two scenes supporting this theory. The first evidence is that Kiyomi explains that she didn't give birth to Toshiki, but Tashiki was instead given to her. The second evidence is that in Yasui's flashback, we see a dark shadow (Kiyomi) take away the baby that was given to Yasuo by the Lady in white. Yet, we also see Kiyomi break into the haunted house in 1995 and walk away with her old friends from high school. The only way to explain this discrepancy is that Kiyomi broke into the house twice. Once in 1966 and than again in 1995. It might seem like it's impossible that she went back to a time when she was just a kid and interacted/took something from the past into the present. However, we do see that at the end of the season, the landowner's kid from 1966 abducted Haruka who lived in 1997 (the present). Afterwards, Kiyomi raises the lady in white's child, Toshiki, as her own until 1994 where Toshiki is sent to the hospital due to his injuries. Later, Yasuo find's out about Toshiki and learns that Toshiki's drawings - depicting a shadowy dark women - are likely drawings of the Lady in white. This is confirmed when we find out that Toshiki referred to his drawings as "mother" when his father asked who he was drawing. Then a year after Toshiki is sent to the hospital, a husband kills his wife and buries the fetus in the yard of the haunted house. There, the husband meets the couple from 1997 before confessing his crimes and dying in a prison cell. The season ends, in 1997, with the spiritualist Lady meeting the Lady in white and perishing in the attic. We also learn that Yasuo's sister suffered the same fate. Meaning that anyone who meets the Lady in white perishes without a trace. in the season finally we also see that Haruko buries a tape in the grounds of the haunted house before being abducted by the landowner's son. Demonstrating that Haruko was indeed the original kidnapped pregnant lady from 1966; or the Lady in White. This is further proven when Haruko's fiance is the only character to see the Lady in white outside the house grounds. That's because the Lady in White - being Haruko herself - acted like a medium and facilitated/strengthened the curse. We even see a scene were Haruko's fiance confuses Haruko for the Lady in White - a foreshadowing for events to come. If you don't believe me, then why would Haruko be spared from the curse for so many years when she was clearly connected to the curse via the tape, her fiance, and the haunting in her apartment? -She started it all...
Yours seems to be the best explanation I've read so far to a series so confusing and asking more questions than the ones it's trying to answer. Except for one tiny little detail that is. When the purification ritual was being performed and the pregnant wife of the new resident being attacked by the ghost of the landowner's son, Haruko received a vision. The vision was of the moment the original lady in white killed her attacker where her face was clearly visible which was not of Haruko. What I don't understand is if Haruko is the one stated who the curse, why would she be seeing someone else's image instead of her own?
The washing of hands before the ritual is actually very important in Japanese religious practice. One must purify the body to remove spiritual taint (“Kegare”), or risk befouling any spirit you interact with, turning them into something evil and dangerous too.
Morgan O'Brien-Bledsoe - In this case they’re summoning the ghost of the son, who isn’t evil, but general practice in Japan is ALWAYS wash up before you do anything spiritual. Bear in mind that in Shinto beliefs, EVERYTHING has a spirit, not just dead people, and physical uncleanliness is tied to spiritual corruption... there’s a reason you wash up before entering a Shinto shrine, so as not to taint the Kami residing there. Anything from the spirit of a hair-comb to a sacred tree to a mountain can become corrupted by enough Kegare, becoming a dangerous Yokai. Look up “tsukumogami” for examples. Enough Kegare in one place (in the form of dark emotions and murder) is what cursed the house to begin with, after all. Angry/corrupt spirits, whether ghosts or Kami, will lash out at anyone nearby... which neatly explains why the Grudge is so indiscriminate. It’s a mixture of ghosts and the house itself, so tainted and corrupt that they kill everyone they interact with, regardless of guilt or innocence... when dealing with that, you’d better wash your hands!
This is a universal human spiritual practice. There is a reason the High Priest in ancient Judaism as well as Catholic/Orthodox priests perform an "ablutions" before commencing the sacred Christian mysteries.
The continuous news footage is actually referring to real life major crimes in Japan. I think it's the director's way of saying that tragedies happen in real life with or without the house' intervention, because the human mind is actually the truly horrifying thing
The only “relieving” aspect of this show was the mysterious pond at the end credits, and the mesmerizing/hypnotic song that went along with the view. “Sonkayno, sonkayno....”
I don't really watch horror because I easily get scared and I won't sleep for 3 days straight from fear alone so this is how I watch to minimize the scare factor
I watched the series and then I came here for a better understanding. I love how this series didn't have cheap jump scares but made you focus on the lives and stories of the main characters involved. I miss that aspect of horror.
The school girl that was put into a barrel filled with concrete is a real thing that happened in Japan. May Junko Furuta rest in absolute peace because that girl was put through HELL in her final moments. 🙏🏻🤍
And there is a movie about it called Concrete. Not sure if it's any good but sounds like it would be a rough thing to watch, like if you've seen Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door
Joe Loveys Crazy, I didn’t know there was a movie based on it. But I’m also not surprised that there is one since it was such a big thing in Japan. And maybe someone who’s seen it can tell us how good (or bad) the movie is because I, sure as hell, am NOT going to watch it. I remember being sick to my stomach *reading* what happened, I can’t imagine how I’ll feel watching it acted out 🤢 but thanks for the info! 😅😂
@@kiara9146 I watched about 30 minutes of it, actually. Nothing bad happens in that time but I could sense a dark turn approaching. Then I said, nope. Not that good of a film from what I saw -- has just a 4.7/10 on IMDb with only 200 votes or so. I doubt many people have watched it.
And tragically, it wasn't moments, as you say, but weeks of torture. Not sure why I'm curious about this stuff, it's unbelievably dark and twisted. On the other hand it's also on TV pretty much all the time, shows like Criminal Minds, which I used to love, and Forensic Files, which is decent but also scary sometimes.
The first Grudge movie has a special place in my heart, mostly because I watched it at 3am, to the ambient sounds of my stairs snapping and popping behind me. I had an asthma attack due to anxiety. Fun times.
@@menoguchi Insomnia? I had a busy day and couldn't sleep, so I watched the new horror movie I bought with a friend. Same friend who tried to make me sleep by a tv after watching The Ring, so it served as payback.
9:51 The murder case on the TV was an actual real life case of Junko Furuta they even made a movie called concrete it tells about the torture she went thru.
@@johngrave5554 I feel the same when I hear about rape. Rapists shouldn't even be considered people, they perform the most heinous of torture, and they don't even have a motive. Although it wouldn't really improve anything, at least if they kidnapped someone and cut their fingernails off, it could've been because that person wronged them. But Rapists do not torture out of vengeance, they do so because they are sadists, and the most depraved of the sadists. Their evil acts are so disgusting that even I would vomit if I attempted to describe it in detail. God, I hate Rapists. Who couldn't? Damn beasts are one of the few things that deserve death by torture.
"BURY TOGETHER" as soon as she said it I was like oh she wants her corpse buried with her babies corpse... why didn't any of the people she said that too figure that out
I believe the woman has become an onryo. The moment you step your foot on the ground of that house you are already cursed. There has been more than 8 movies of the grudge and even a crossover. No one ever succeeded breaking the curse.
I like how they tied in real life events life through the characters and news like the Otaku Murderer, the murder of Junko Furuta, the great Hanshin earthquake, Tokyo sarin gas attack
@@rosewhip5332 there are a bunch of videos you can watch about the case but to summarize a couple of boys kidnapped and tortured her to death (it's a lot worse than I'm making it sound)

@@negan4089 Why would he have a barber go to his home? The lockdown ended like a month ago already. Places have been open for business for some time. With certain restrictions in place and guidelines to follow, most places have been doing regular business for a while... The barber shops around here have been open for about a month now, maybe a little longer. They just have to clean absolutely everything after each customer and they can only have like 2 or 3 people getting cuts at a time depending on how big the shop is to keep everyone 6 feet from each other...
It is, but there were 4 boys tortuouring Junko, not three. And they never got a proper prison sentence. The leader of the boys got only 20 years and the others got ever less. They should've got more harsher punishments.
SymphoRaikou well japan has a big thing on lighter sentence for minors so that’s why that happened same way in America children can get very few years even after murdering someone
This show is waaayyyy too confusing too me, jumping back and forth between time and story lines, I couldn't keep anything straight. Thank you for reviewing it. By the way, your haircut looks amazing!!
I have a theory about the “buried together” thing. I think its in reference to all the trapped spirits that will be together forever within the house. Everyone the house takes, will be “buried together”. I think the reason why the woman in white wants to collect these sprites is so they can feel the pain she felt. From being abducted, isolated, imprisoned, impregnated, assaulted, and forced to kill her attacker...all of this creating a powerful rage inside her. Aka a grudge. “When someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage, A curse is born. It gathers in that place of death , but cannot be contained.” -Ju-on That’s my thinking anyways
Lmao same. There used to be a cat house right across the street from the side of our house, where stray cats lived with no humans. People consistently went there to feed them & give them water / toys, but they all got taken to a no-kill shelter years ago. I was always tempted to just walk over there lol
Imagine being paralyzed(whatever the cause) in a place where no one comes in weeks and stray meat eating animals lives there. You will be eaten alive feeling pain from all that little bites from cute cats. Is this too dark?
"A girl stuffed Into a barrel" is a reference to Junko Furuta's death and a movie was made based on her death and this movie is called "Concrete" and its disturbing to watch.
Man, when they show the part about the 3 guys that rapped and tortured that girl then put her in the barrel made so angry and really sad.... I remember reading about it :/
That was the murder of Furuta Junko. A truly despicable crime with no justice for the victim’s family. The details of her murder and the absolute hell that she had to go through for WEEKS still makes me sick. I truly hope she is at peace
I doubt it. Despite the house's ever growing list of victims and spirits being gathered, you never see spirits directly communicating to each other, only to the living (as a disguise by the house) in an attempt to get them to the house at first, and then to do something that will lead to them becoming spirits. Why would some people go into the house, for example, and others do not? I'm starting to think it is not just pure curiosity that pulls people to the house, but an actual history with the house itself which pulls certain people to it, or some people with certain prerequisites necessary to end in in the house at the end of the day, like a certain mental state or some relationship strain present which the house can twist for its own purposes. There's also a reason why the kid who was conceived in the house has a special connection to the house, when all babies around the house usually dies - I feel there is an important clue there. Another clue is that some of the ghosts can talk to the living, and some actually gives warnings, or try to help, while the house itself wants to kill everyone in any manner it possibly can. Some can talk to very specific people, and others can't. :/
Really good explanation as always. This series is absurd when it comes to order of events and there's no way I could've understood this just by watching it itself. Really hope they continue the story.
That or she's just collecting children. Wanting to buried with babies that she can never give to birth to, so she takes them from the mothers that move in. Would explain why pregnancy is associated with the curse.
Could also be that the husband and wife needs to be buried together (either dead or alive), or that all the victims must be buried together, or that the original family needs to buried together. Remember that there is always 1 person missing from each event, like the husbands that don't turn violent gets "zapped" (so how exactly does that happen, since the curse usually manipulates people into dark deeds, never actually doing anything deadly itself), and we don't always see what happens to some of the victims (we just see their ghosts later on), indicating that they may have never been found? So where do all the bodies go then? Maybe that's the key to breaking the curse - find the missing bodies and bury them... together? Or perhaps the message is about a mass grave somewhere under or near the house - was the message ever decipherered that nobody could figure out? :/
It actually is the Junko Furuta case. They used real life news footage as framing devices, aside from the serial killer with the little girl, all of the other events shown on the news actually happened.
I binged all six episodes this past Monday and damn it was great. It was a breath of fresh air in the franchise. It reminds me of the earlier Ju-On films and had that feeling of dread and uneasiness that later entries lacked (especially the American series). My only gripe was I wish the episodes were 50-60 minutes. I feel like everything could of been more fleshed out, but I assume they are saving that for the second season. If you love classic J horror, this is definitely a must watch.
I really liked this show. It was a breath of fresh air for the Ju-On franchise. The show was well-written and well acted, and the people perspective made for a good view since the story was set over multiple episodes, with the supernatural elements more the side. I'm excited for a second season and what stories they're gonna explore. Personally, I think it would be cool to set it in modern time. With the internet, and creepypastas, how would the urban legends about the house be viewed?
Yep. And I know it sounds pretty counterintuitive but I loved how they added some true crime realism to the show. Makes it more horrifying, esp. with their Junko Furuta references.
i love how every single event you can connect (not by the house) but to the original events and the symbolism. theres so much cycling and i think it left a lot of room for a season 2
I think because she is taking care of the boy, who i understood to be the son of the lady in white, the house let her live... I think thats the same reason that Kyomi and her husband survived so long as well, their job was to take care of him...
@@samanthaavila1649 i dont think he was speaking to her... The boy has this strange conection with the house. I think he felt what was going to happen with Haruka and was trying to warn her... But i do agree the cps lady time will not last... And she will die as well... The curse doesn't affect some people for some reason when her usefulness is over she will die...
Me: Sees this video Juon origins on Netflix and saves to my list of things to watch; Next day finds this video in my recommendations and subscription feeds, taking three days to binge watch the whole first season just to watch FoundFlix's Ending Explained of the show! LOL
I remember when I was 7 or 8, my mom used to take me to the library. I would sometimes go poking around the dvd rental section. Occasionally, I would accidentally pull out a copy of the grudge. I have still not recovered from the trauma.
When Haruka and Tetsuya's mom were contacting the spirit they were trying to contact the houses spirit for where it lived not Tetsuya though. Tetsuya saved his mother from looking at the spirit and thus being dragged even further into the mess.
If that’s the case, good on him. That house’s Kami must be MESSED UP from all the death, violence, grief and other spiritual corruption it’s had to deal with... directly interacting with that spirit would probably have driven those two insane, if not killed them outright.
@@Ajehy That house had some kind of magic that makes past and present coexist so it becomes a cycle but the main goal of the story was the mini true horror stories in it that inspired Ju On.
Same, but then the abducted woman could be identified, which is impossible if she was haruka from the future. They way i see it, the events in the future echoes what happened on the past but not the same (koyomi breaking the glass the same way but didn't run away with the baby like in odajima's vision)
9:50 is a reference to real crime cases, The Junko Furuta cases 14:00 a reference to real crime cases, Matsumoto Sarin attack I'm yet watching the series in Netflix but this sure makes me want to watch it
I hated the American Grudge movies, never saw the others but this series was really good. It's too graphic at times for some people but I think it's perfect because those scenes really drive how the atmosphere and emotion of the story. So well done.
I grew up a bit in Japan and i saw juon when i was like 10 and then watched all but the new grudge then this and all i could think was "please do an ending explained on this show!" So excited that you did this thanks for keeping all my fav horror movies interesting !
Just finished the series a few minutes ago.. really hoping for another season. This show was shot so brilliantly. Confusing timelines but overall better than expected!
was gonna say the same thing, that news feed regarding the 3 guys and corpse hidden with concrete in a barrel. I was confused as to why that was mentioned in the show. You guys think if there is a season 2, they will shoot that scene in?? that would be pretty messed up, or is it a reminder that the Japanese officials were useless back then with it's sentencing on those who were caught and convicted.
9:53 interesting fact, this actually happened a long while ago. if you look up "Junko Furuta" you'll find information about a woman who was abducted and held captive for months while her captors sexually physically and emotionally abused her. eventually her body gave out because of all the abuse she had been put through, then her captors dismembered her and put her in vats which they then filled with cement, it's an extremely messed up story and I think about poor Junko a lot, she deserved better
I watched this with my Japanese fiancé. She added so much context to the story. the new reports they showed on the tv where actual events. She stopped the movie to go in to detail about what happened in the ones she remembered.
Sage Hernandez It’s realistic fiction. The Old Man is about sexuality when you’re old and enfeebled, and the Key is about how a husband and wife rediscover their relationship
I got the impression that it was the husband who poisoned the wine. He clearly knew that she was having an affair and he gulped that wine down really fast, then going to make her drink it too, saying they can all die together.
I love this channel. Just a dude talking about the types film and TV that he loves. I'm not even a horror fan, I just genuinely enjoy your witty remarks and listening to someone talk about their passion. Keep it going boss.
My younger sister used to have an extremely long hair, and after knowing these movies existed, she loved to put her hair on front on her and walked really slowly. That freaked me everytime.
I love that this show is more of an investigation series with elements of horror. This already creates more intrigue and curiosity within the show, although the latter part of the show is really surreal and convoluted. The original was absolutely terrifying and traumatizing, something that this show lacks, but makes up in its grounded-ness and lack of censorship.
Imagine holding a party in the house and having all the guests enter at the same time. Like would it all happen like one at a time while everyone is locked inside or something?
I think it would be more interesting if "Buried Together" was a specific thing. Once "Buried Together" is accomplished, the curse is not instantly destroyed, but instead starts collapsing as if the lynch pin that held it together has been pulled out. This means the curse will go away unless an incident happens without curse influence. Someone choosing knowingly to do so would set up future seasons and add significantly to the lore.
That telephone is a super super famous true crime in Japan. I believe they still don't know who did that crime.. i forgot its been a while since I read about it.
Nathan Harrison It is about the murder happened in Nagoya in 1988. The wife who was pregnant at the time was found dead with her stomach cut open, and the telephone was shoved inside :( The husband came home and heard the baby cry, thought she gave birth while he was away, but instead he found her dead in the room..and shoved out baby was crying by her feet. The suspect was never found until today...Pretty sickening even writing this down...Which is why this series is causing a bit of criticism by some people in Japan.
AlmostOn TimeHero not being able to explain something does not mean it’s unexplainable. I can’t explain the process of nuclear fusion inside the sun but it does have an explanation.
I remember when I was 5 and the grudge was coming out. There was a TV channel that only played movie trailers and previews and the grudge was one of them. I also remember seeing the preview and getting freaked out and i tried to go outside to my dad and I locked myself in the house terrified. Ever since then I learned to love horror from a young age and the grudge always stays close to my heart lmao
*The true events that happen:* 1. The Yellow House. The original house featured in the first Ju-on movies was said to be somewhat inspired by a real life place and the stories that took place there. Kayako herself may not have been based on an urban legend, but the story was, in the very broadest sense, said to be inspired by tales of this real house. The Yellow House, as it was known, was located in Nagoya and said to be so cursed that anyone who stepped foot inside it would either go mad or, in a worse case scenario, die. The house has since been knocked down and replaced with a parking lot, but its stories live on. You may have noticed while watching Origins that the cursed house is yellow, a nice nod to its real-life counterpart. 2. News events. Origins is set over a period of several years, and the show cleverly provides real life links to each of these years through various background news reports. These news reports featured some of the biggest and most devastating events that took place in Japan for their corresponding years, meaning that Japanese viewers would immediately know when the story was taking place, but some of these events may be lesser known to Western audiences, so let’s take a look: 1988: Furuta Junko’s murder. The news report playing in the background mentions a teenage girl’s body was found in a concrete drum and three teenage boys were arrested for the crime. The show refers to her as “Sakura” because both Furuta and the boys involved were all underage at the time of the crime, thus the show used an alias. Furuta died on January 4, 1989, just after New Year’s. 1994: The Matsumoto sarin gas attack perpetrated by the cult Aum Shinrikyo is mentioned on the TV. This took place on June 27, 1994. Eight people were killed and over 500 injured. 1995: As the show moves into 1995, it starts with a report on the Great Hanshin earthquake, which rocked Japan on January 16, 1995. Over 6,000 people were killed in this disaster, making it the second worst earthquake in Japan during the 20th century (over 105,000 died in the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923). 1995: The Tokyo subway sarin gas attack is also mentioned on a TV news report. This one is focused on more directly by the show as it’s the attack most people are familiar with. It took place on March 20, 1995. 12 people died, 50 were severely injured, and more than 1000 suffered temporary vision problems. 1997: The final year of the series sees the Kobe child murders mentioned on a news report in the background. This took place on March 16, 1997 and saw a 14-year-old boy kill and behead an 11-year-old boy, leaving his head in front of his school gate for students to find as they arrived for school in the morning. The killer later confessed to killing a 10-year-old girl as well. 3. The phone incident. Something that may be especially confusing for Western viewers is the “phone incident” that took place in episode four. This was also based on a real-life murder that took place in Japan in the late 1980s. A pregnant woman on the verge of giving birth was murdered in Nagoya and her unborn baby cut out of her stomach. Bizarrely, when her body was found, the baby was still alive beside her and a phone had been placed inside her cut womb. The killer was never found. 4. The child killer “M”. The child killer referred to as “M” over several episodes is based on the real life “Little Girl Murderer” Miyazaki Tsutomu. He killed four young girls during the late 80s, much like M, by first getting them into his car and then killing them. Miyazaki was eventually arrested after an abduction attempt went wrong and the girl’s father called the police. He was convicted of killing all four girls and then sentenced to death, which was carried out in Tokyo on June 17, 2008.
What's interesting is that the news footage in the background is actually real events, or at least based on real events, in particular: 9:50 Murder of Junko Furuta
Dear Foundflix, Can you please make an ending explanation of a korean series, Nightmare Teacher. It is really interesting tv series and i bet that you will definitely love it. It is about the mystery thing that happen to the school after a temporary teacher come to the class. so manipulative. The ending is really dramatic and hard to understand. May you please help create the explain for this series. Sincerely
Haruka(woman who boyfriend died and is an actress is lady in white the end is the beginning the whole origin is the loop. When the school girl who is the rape victim met lady in white that when the loop met in circle lady in white haded her kid to her so the boy who got beaten and in vegetative state is lady in white(aka Haruka kid) that's why in the past they can't find the kid the clue that explain this is when the boy drawn ghostly figure and called it his mon and when Kimie(rape school girl) tell her boyfriend(man who rape her) that lady in white handed her baby to her.
@@minorityreport978 Wait was she pregnant though? Haruka never looked like it to me and they only hinted at marriage and not baby stuff. I will say though that is a crazy twist and would fit nicely, well as nicely as a time loop can be
Vincent Lopez Haruka is kidnapped by the landlord’s son (guy in underwear) who rapes Haruka while he keeps Haruka in the attic. He murders Haruka, but the child was born already & taken by Kiyomi.
It's pretty cool how the show incorporates REAL things that were happening in Japan at the time. They even included the sarin gas attack. *You got some of the story beats wrong. Yodai DIDN'T run away like the boy told him to - he ran AFTER he got one of his kidneys removed.
you missed the part when the guy slit the preggo woman's throat, she began to let out the iconic "grudge" croaking sound that was so famous from the older movies
Gave me goosebumps hearing it tbh . That creepy struggling croaking sound

The subway sarin gas attacks were so fucked up. I remember hearing of this poor guy he was the subway manager for that stop, so basically like the manager of a store, he just kept everything running, etc did little stuff that needed done quickly, etc. Well, the thing is, at first, no one knew what the gas was (it was a liquid in bags wrapped in news paper. The attackers left the newspaper bundles on the train and around the station, pierced them with umbrella tips as they got up to walk away, letting them leak all over the floor. That poor manager... he went to clean up the mess... he suddenly keeled over just like that. Just a guy trying to soak up some "water" he saw spilled on the floor. :(
The trains also made it to the next station when they opened the gas released there too. It was a nightmare. This is why you don't see many trash cans in Japan anymore.

@Content Corrector Understand what you're saying, but this leads down a very dangerous path. Your brain isn't even fully developed until you're well into your 20's and that's just one of the many reasons that a distinction between child criminals and adult criminals is made.
@@newbiechu7024 Don't worry Americans always put those kids in their place LOL
Edit: Yup. That place is the morgue. uwu
her life was already shit after moving to the new school.
Here's my explanation:
The curse began with the landowners' son kidnapping the lady in white. She appears in the attic because that's were she ultimately died. After giving birth to her son she gave it away to 6 year old Yasuo (the writter) in 1966. There are two scenes supporting this theory. The first evidence is that Kiyomi explains that she didn't give birth to Toshiki, but Tashiki was instead given to her. The second evidence is that in Yasui's flashback, we see a dark shadow (Kiyomi) take away the baby that was given to Yasuo by the Lady in white. Yet, we also see Kiyomi break into the haunted house in 1995 and walk away with her old friends from high school. The only way to explain this discrepancy is that Kiyomi broke into the house twice. Once in 1966 and than again in 1995.
It might seem like it's impossible that she went back to a time when she was just a kid and interacted/took something from the past into the present. However, we do see that at the end of the season, the landowner's kid from 1966 abducted Haruka who lived in 1997 (the present).
Afterwards, Kiyomi raises the lady in white's child, Toshiki, as her own until 1994 where Toshiki is sent to the hospital due to his injuries. Later, Yasuo find's out about Toshiki and learns that Toshiki's drawings - depicting a shadowy dark women - are likely drawings of the Lady in white. This is confirmed when we find out that Toshiki referred to his drawings as "mother" when his father asked who he was drawing. Then a year after Toshiki is sent to the hospital, a husband kills his wife and buries the fetus in the yard of the haunted house. There, the husband meets the couple from 1997 before confessing his crimes and dying in a prison cell.
The season ends, in 1997, with the spiritualist Lady meeting the Lady in white and perishing in the attic. We also learn that Yasuo's sister suffered the same fate. Meaning that anyone who meets the Lady in white perishes without a trace. in the season finally we also see that Haruko buries a tape in the grounds of the haunted house before being abducted by the landowner's son. Demonstrating that Haruko was indeed the original kidnapped pregnant lady from 1966; or the Lady in White.
This is further proven when Haruko's fiance is the only character to see the Lady in white outside the house grounds. That's because the Lady in White - being Haruko herself - acted like a medium and facilitated/strengthened the curse. We even see a scene were Haruko's fiance confuses Haruko for the Lady in White - a foreshadowing for events to come. If you don't believe me, then why would Haruko be spared from the curse for so many years when she was clearly connected to the curse via the tape, her fiance, and the haunting in her apartment? -She started it all...
Great theory and well explained. This should get more likes 👍
you need to make a video on this!! great explanation
Smart Guy... Very smart guy 🎴
Omg! This was a great explanation. It makes a lot of sense for Haruka to be the Lady in White.
Yours seems to be the best explanation I've read so far to a series so confusing and asking more questions than the ones it's trying to answer. Except for one tiny little detail that is. When the purification ritual was being performed and the pregnant wife of the new resident being attacked by the ghost of the landowner's son, Haruko received a vision. The vision was of the moment the original lady in white killed her attacker where her face was clearly visible which was not of Haruko. What I don't understand is if Haruko is the one stated who the curse, why would she be seeing someone else's image instead of her own?
The washing of hands before the ritual is actually very important in Japanese religious practice. One must purify the body to remove spiritual taint (“Kegare”), or risk befouling any spirit you interact with, turning them into something evil and dangerous too.
But aren’t they already dealing with evil and dangerous spiritual entities to begin with?
Morgan O'Brien-Bledsoe - In this case they’re summoning the ghost of the son, who isn’t evil, but general practice in Japan is ALWAYS wash up before you do anything spiritual.
Bear in mind that in Shinto beliefs, EVERYTHING has a spirit, not just dead people, and physical uncleanliness is tied to spiritual corruption... there’s a reason you wash up before entering a Shinto shrine, so as not to taint the Kami residing there. Anything from the spirit of a hair-comb to a sacred tree to a mountain can become corrupted by enough Kegare, becoming a dangerous Yokai. Look up “tsukumogami” for examples.
Enough Kegare in one place (in the form of dark emotions and murder) is what cursed the house to begin with, after all. Angry/corrupt spirits, whether ghosts or Kami, will lash out at anyone nearby... which neatly explains why the Grudge is so indiscriminate. It’s a mixture of ghosts and the house itself, so tainted and corrupt that they kill everyone they interact with, regardless of guilt or innocence... when dealing with that, you’d better wash your hands!
TL;DR
Washing the hands is visual shorthand that they’re taking precautions and doing the ritual right.
This is a universal human spiritual practice. There is a reason the High Priest in ancient Judaism as well as Catholic/Orthodox priests perform an "ablutions" before commencing the sacred Christian mysteries.
Ajehy do you study this? Or you have to learn it in Japan?
The continuous news footage is actually referring to real life major crimes in Japan. I think it's the director's way of saying that tragedies happen in real life with or without the house' intervention, because the human mind is actually the truly horrifying thing

I watched the series and then I came here for a better understanding. I love how this series didn't have cheap jump scares but made you focus on the lives and stories of the main characters involved. I miss that aspect of horror.
The school girl that was put into a barrel filled with concrete is a real thing that happened in Japan. May Junko Furuta rest in absolute peace because that girl was put through HELL in her final moments. 🙏🏻🤍
And there is a movie about it called Concrete. Not sure if it's any good but sounds like it would be a rough thing to watch, like if you've seen Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door
Joe Loveys Crazy, I didn’t know there was a movie based on it. But I’m also not surprised that there is one since it was such a big thing in Japan. And maybe someone who’s seen it can tell us how good (or bad) the movie is because I, sure as hell, am NOT going to watch it. I remember being sick to my stomach *reading* what happened, I can’t imagine how I’ll feel watching it acted out 🤢 but thanks for the info! 😅😂
@@kiara9146 I watched about 30 minutes of it, actually. Nothing bad happens in that time but I could sense a dark turn approaching. Then I said, nope. Not that good of a film from what I saw -- has just a 4.7/10 on IMDb with only 200 votes or so. I doubt many people have watched it.
And tragically, it wasn't moments, as you say, but weeks of torture. Not sure why I'm curious about this stuff, it's unbelievably dark and twisted. On the other hand it's also on TV pretty much all the time, shows like Criminal Minds, which I used to love, and Forensic Files, which is decent but also scary sometimes.

@@johngrave5554 I feel the same when I hear about rape. Rapists shouldn't even be considered people, they perform the most heinous of torture, and they don't even have a motive. Although it wouldn't really improve anything, at least if they kidnapped someone and cut their fingernails off, it could've been because that person wronged them. But Rapists do not torture out of vengeance, they do so because they are sadists, and the most depraved of the sadists. Their evil acts are so disgusting that even I would vomit if I attempted to describe it in detail. God, I hate Rapists. Who couldn't? Damn beasts are one of the few things that deserve death by torture.

I have a theory about the “buried together” thing. I think its in reference to all the trapped spirits that will be together forever within the house. Everyone the house takes, will be “buried together”. I think the reason why the woman in white wants to collect these sprites is so they can feel the pain she felt. From being abducted, isolated, imprisoned, impregnated, assaulted, and forced to kill her attacker...all of this creating a powerful rage inside her. Aka a grudge.
“When someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage, A curse is born. It gathers in that place of death , but cannot be contained.” -Ju-on

If only Geralt of Rivia was hired to clear the house of the curse... he'd make short work of it

That was the murder of Furuta Junko. A truly despicable crime with no justice for the victim’s family. The details of her murder and the absolute hell that she had to go through for WEEKS still makes me sick. I truly hope she is at peace
eventually the whole damn house is gonna be full of random people appearing and disappearing, and nobody will be able to move
Too Many Cooks but the Cooks are all ghosts.
Feels a lot like Murder House AHS.
I doubt it. Despite the house's ever growing list of victims and spirits being gathered, you never see spirits directly communicating to each other, only to the living (as a disguise by the house) in an attempt to get them to the house at first, and then to do something that will lead to them becoming spirits. Why would some people go into the house, for example, and others do not? I'm starting to think it is not just pure curiosity that pulls people to the house, but an actual history with the house itself which pulls certain people to it, or some people with certain prerequisites necessary to end in in the house at the end of the day, like a certain mental state or some relationship strain present which the house can twist for its own purposes. There's also a reason why the kid who was conceived in the house has a special connection to the house, when all babies around the house usually dies - I feel there is an important clue there. Another clue is that some of the ghosts can talk to the living, and some actually gives warnings, or try to help, while the house itself wants to kill everyone in any manner it possibly can. Some can talk to very specific people, and others can't. :/
Really good explanation as always. This series is absurd when it comes to order of events and there's no way I could've understood this just by watching it itself. Really hope they continue the story.
I really expected an ending with Kayako, Takeo and Toshio moving in
"Bury together" is likely her way of asking to be buried with her baby.
But if her son is still alive that can’t be done yet especially since he’s also a vector for the curse.
That or she's just collecting children. Wanting to buried with babies that she can never give to birth to, so she takes them from the mothers that move in. Would explain why pregnancy is associated with the curse.
Shes a japanese llorona, thats what i got from everything
Thank you captain obvious
Could also be that the husband and wife needs to be buried together (either dead or alive), or that all the victims must be buried together, or that the original family needs to buried together. Remember that there is always 1 person missing from each event, like the husbands that don't turn violent gets "zapped" (so how exactly does that happen, since the curse usually manipulates people into dark deeds, never actually doing anything deadly itself), and we don't always see what happens to some of the victims (we just see their ghosts later on), indicating that they may have never been found? So where do all the bodies go then? Maybe that's the key to breaking the curse - find the missing bodies and bury them... together? Or perhaps the message is about a mass grave somewhere under or near the house - was the message ever decipherered that nobody could figure out? :/
9:56 i think that case is supposed to be similar to Junko Furuta case
It actually is the Junko Furuta case. They used real life news footage as framing devices, aside from the serial killer with the little girl, all of the other events shown on the news actually happened.

It reminds me of the earlier Ju-On films and had that feeling of dread and uneasiness that later entries lacked (especially the American series). My only gripe was I wish the episodes were 50-60 minutes. I feel like everything could of been more fleshed out, but I assume they are saving that for the second season. If you love classic J horror, this is definitely a must watch.
I really liked this show. It was a breath of fresh air for the Ju-On franchise. The show was well-written and well acted, and the people perspective made for a good view since the story was set over multiple episodes, with the supernatural elements more the side. I'm excited for a second season and what stories they're gonna explore. Personally, I think it would be cool to set it in modern time. With the internet, and creepypastas, how would the urban legends about the house be viewed?
ohhh...I like that!
Yep. And I know it sounds pretty counterintuitive but I loved how they added some true crime realism to the show. Makes it more horrifying, esp. with their Junko Furuta references.
i love how every single event you can connect (not by the house) but to the original events and the symbolism. theres so much cycling and i think it left a lot of room for a season 2
what about the CPS lady? She was spared as well but didnt really help getting people to the house
I think because she is taking care of the boy, who i understood to be the son of the lady in white, the house let her live... I think thats the same reason that Kyomi and her husband survived so long as well, their job was to take care of him...
No matter your intentions where, the curse will spread.
@hoang Nguyen I think it’s assumed the cps lady will die soon as the little boy warns her to run away.
Gene Bello this is what i think too
@@samanthaavila1649 i dont think he was speaking to her... The boy has this strange conection with the house. I think he felt what was going to happen with Haruka and was trying to warn her... But i do agree the cps lady time will not last... And she will die as well... The curse doesn't affect some people for some reason when her usefulness is over she will die...
You should read audio books because your voice is so much more intriguing and lively than the ones on audible.
Me: Sees this video Juon origins on Netflix and saves to my list of things to watch; Next day finds this video in my recommendations and subscription feeds, taking three days to binge watch the whole first season just to watch FoundFlix's Ending Explained of the show! LOL
I remember when I was 7 or 8, my mom used to take me to the library. I would sometimes go poking around the dvd rental section. Occasionally, I would accidentally pull out a copy of the grudge. I have still not recovered from the trauma.
Man up dude.
@@newbiechu7024 Ok kyle
When Haruka and Tetsuya's mom were contacting the spirit they were trying to contact the houses spirit for where it lived not Tetsuya though. Tetsuya saved his mother from looking at the spirit and thus being dragged even further into the mess.
If that’s the case, good on him. That house’s Kami must be MESSED UP from all the death, violence, grief and other spiritual corruption it’s had to deal with... directly interacting with that spirit would probably have driven those two insane, if not killed them outright.
@@Ajehy That house had some kind of magic that makes past and present coexist so it becomes a cycle but the main goal of the story was the mini true horror stories in it that inspired Ju On.
But in the end, his mom saw the lady in white spirit though.
I liked how the outro scene with the clear water in the forest was so calming...kinda like a soul bleach between the horror
Yea but at the same time, it was frightening as well haha
What if Haruka was the girl that was abducted bringing the whole timeline crossovers into a complete circle?
that’s what i was thinking.... do you think she’s just another version of the past abduction or she is the original and that yasuo is her son?
I thought that was what the ending meant
Same, but then the abducted woman could be identified, which is impossible if she was haruka from the future.
They way i see it, the events in the future echoes what happened on the past but not the same (koyomi breaking the glass the same way but didn't run away with the baby like in odajima's vision)
9:50 is a reference to real crime cases, The Junko Furuta cases
14:00 a reference to real crime cases, Matsumoto Sarin attack
I'm yet watching the series in Netflix but this sure makes me want to watch it
I hated the American Grudge movies, never saw the others but this series was really good. It's too graphic at times for some people but I think it's perfect because those scenes really drive how the atmosphere and emotion of the story. So well done.
Can you do the J-horror movie "NOROI" next?
I remember watching this and it scared the crap outta me. A lot more scarier than these new horror movies.
Noroi is amazing!
I love that movie it's so creepy. Also Gonjiam is pretty good too.
Anthony Espinal as a Korean, Gonjiam was the most dissapointing movie release for that year.
@@danielpark6068 as a white guy white people are the most disappointing race of this year
@@dariansmith8979lmao what?
"...and the wife Tomoko is pregnant as HELL"
lmao
I grew up a bit in Japan and i saw juon when i was like 10 and then watched all but the new grudge then this and all i could think was "please do an ending explained on this show!" So excited that you did this thanks for keeping all my fav horror movies interesting !
The safest way to know the story of this series is through this FoundFlix. Just too scared to watch it haha!!
By the way nice haircut. You look great!
Janet Dyah Ekawati I watched this at night
I’m regretting it
Just finished the series a few minutes ago.. really hoping for another season. This show was shot so brilliantly. Confusing timelines but overall better than expected!
Thanks for this explanation;
I watched the movie and had no idea what was going on, so I watched this and had no idea what was going on.
You mean show?
Damn ur a real comedian
9:50 Junko Furuta I believe it happened in the late 80's... so sad :(
If anyone is interesting in this story look up "Concrete 2004"
@@toughluv3058 that story was so sad
it’s so sad :,( i literally cried reading her story and it disgusted me
was gonna say the same thing, that news feed regarding the 3 guys and corpse hidden with concrete in a barrel. I was confused as to why that was mentioned in the show. You guys think if there is a season 2, they will shoot that scene in?? that would be pretty messed up, or is it a reminder that the Japanese officials were useless back then with it's sentencing on those who were caught and convicted.
9:53 interesting fact, this actually happened a long while ago. if you look up "Junko Furuta" you'll find information about a woman who was abducted and held captive for months while her captors sexually physically and emotionally abused her. eventually her body gave out because of all the abuse she had been put through, then her captors dismembered her and put her in vats which they then filled with cement, it's an extremely messed up story and I think about poor Junko a lot, she deserved better
“Just want some sweet drugs , why you tellin me about ghost kids and stuff.”
Just finished the series, and my first thought was “ hmmmm 🤔 I hope FoundFlix already made a video explaining this series”
I watched this with my Japanese fiancé. She added so much context to the story. the new reports they showed on the tv where actual events. She stopped the movie to go in to detail about what happened in the ones she remembered.
Glad to know someone else stops movies to go into detail about true crime stories.
This is so good. I started watching it a couple days ago.
On the news in the background they talk about real murders that happened in Japan.
Also if anyone interested in Japanese literature, y’all should read The Old Man and the Key by Jun’ichiro Tanizaki
Is it based on true recourses? I have trouble finding good literature now a days 😅
Sage Hernandez It’s realistic fiction. The Old Man is about sexuality when you’re old and enfeebled, and the Key is about how a husband and wife rediscover their relationship
Just a small moment to say RIP Junko and all the other victims in all these real tragedies…. 😔
JUST finnished the Grunde series and was searching for this video getting sad that you didnt do it yet.
what a glorious timing
I got the impression that it was the husband who poisoned the wine. He clearly knew that she was having an affair and he gulped that wine down really fast, then going to make her drink it too, saying they can all die together.
The girl in the barrel is a true story. Junko Furuta 💕 may she Rest In Peace 🥺
I love this channel. Just a dude talking about the types film and TV that he loves. I'm not even a horror fan, I just genuinely enjoy your witty remarks and listening to someone talk about their passion. Keep it going boss.
My younger sister used to have an extremely long hair, and after knowing these movies existed, she loved to put her hair on front on her and walked really slowly. That freaked me everytime.
Oh SHIT!!! THATS CREEPY
I love that this show is more of an investigation series with elements of horror. This already creates more intrigue and curiosity within the show, although the latter part of the show is really surreal and convoluted. The original was absolutely terrifying and traumatizing, something that this show lacks, but makes up in its grounded-ness and lack of censorship.
It’s good that something Netflix made based on the movie is actually good was thinking it would be like the Netflix death note
I just wanted to say thank you for always going into great detail. It probably takes forever to get everything down.💜
Imagine holding a party in the house and having all the guests enter at the same time. Like would it all happen like one at a time while everyone is locked inside or something?
I think it would be more interesting if "Buried Together" was a specific thing. Once "Buried Together" is accomplished, the curse is not instantly destroyed, but instead starts collapsing as if the lynch pin that held it together has been pulled out. This means the curse will go away unless an incident happens without curse influence. Someone choosing knowingly to do so would set up future seasons and add significantly to the lore.
*Based on true events*
People: Awh hell no. I'm out.
"It is what it is"
That telephone is a super super famous true crime in Japan. I believe they still don't know who did that crime.. i forgot its been a while since I read about it.
@@sharkiesupernova you mean the one where the baby got cut out of the womb?
Nathan Harrison It is about the murder happened in Nagoya in 1988. The wife who was pregnant at the time was found dead with her stomach cut open, and the telephone was shoved inside :( The husband came home and heard the baby cry, thought she gave birth while he was away, but instead he found her dead in the room..and shoved out baby was crying by her feet. The suspect was never found until today...Pretty sickening even writing this down...Which is why this series is causing a bit of criticism by some people in Japan.
That CG reveal of the woman in white’s true form at the end was...rough. Like Sega Saturn rough.
Conrad Kujur They were so keen on getting the 90s timeline’s authenticity right that they even used the special effects from that decade.
Karly Engracia or the one from project zero. 😱😱😱
gusy629 Project Zero was ten times ng scarier than JuOn Origins in my opinion.
@@Spacecorgi oohh that's a good roast
10:00 I swear can I watch a Japanese movie an not think of this horrific story, it's one of those true stories that keeps me up at night
slothkingn1 umm that story is real and happened January 4, 1989. Her name was Junko furuta
@slothkingn1 Google junko furuta that's what I was talking about
@slothkingn1 but ghosts are real
@slothkingn1 ???
Ghosts exist. Search up unexplained paranormal events. Well documented events no one can explain.
AlmostOn TimeHero not being able to explain something does not mean it’s unexplainable. I can’t explain the process of nuclear fusion inside the sun but it does have an explanation.
I remember when I was 5 and the grudge was coming out. There was a TV channel that only played movie trailers and previews and the grudge was one of them. I also remember seeing the preview and getting freaked out and i tried to go outside to my dad and I locked myself in the house terrified. Ever since then I learned to love horror from a young age and the grudge always stays close to my heart lmao
Definitely can't be no punk bitch out here 😭💪
Hmmm.
*The true events that happen:*
1. The Yellow House.
The original house featured in the first Ju-on movies was said to be somewhat inspired by a real life place and the stories that took place there. Kayako herself may not have been based on an urban legend, but the story was, in the very broadest sense, said to be inspired by tales of this real house. The Yellow House, as it was known, was located in Nagoya and said to be so cursed that anyone who stepped foot inside it would either go mad or, in a worse case scenario, die. The house has since been knocked down and replaced with a parking lot, but its stories live on.
You may have noticed while watching Origins that the cursed house is yellow, a nice nod to its real-life counterpart.
2. News events.
Origins is set over a period of several years, and the show cleverly provides real life links to each of these years through various background news reports. These news reports featured some of the biggest and most devastating events that took place in Japan for their corresponding years, meaning that Japanese viewers would immediately know when the story was taking place, but some of these events may be lesser known to Western audiences, so let’s take a look:
1988: Furuta Junko’s murder. The news report playing in the background mentions a teenage girl’s body was found in a concrete drum and three teenage boys were arrested for the crime. The show refers to her as “Sakura” because both Furuta and the boys involved were all underage at the time of the crime, thus the show used an alias. Furuta died on January 4, 1989, just after New Year’s.
1994: The Matsumoto sarin gas attack perpetrated by the cult Aum Shinrikyo is mentioned on the TV. This took place on June 27, 1994. Eight people were killed and over 500 injured.
1995: As the show moves into 1995, it starts with a report on the Great Hanshin earthquake, which rocked Japan on January 16, 1995. Over 6,000 people were killed in this disaster, making it the second worst earthquake in Japan during the 20th century (over 105,000 died in the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923).
1995: The Tokyo subway sarin gas attack is also mentioned on a TV news report. This one is focused on more directly by the show as it’s the attack most people are familiar with. It took place on March 20, 1995. 12 people died, 50 were severely injured, and more than 1000 suffered temporary vision problems.
1997: The final year of the series sees the Kobe child murders mentioned on a news report in the background. This took place on March 16, 1997 and saw a 14-year-old boy kill and behead an 11-year-old boy, leaving his head in front of his school gate for students to find as they arrived for school in the morning. The killer later confessed to killing a 10-year-old girl as well.
3. The phone incident.
Something that may be especially confusing for Western viewers is the “phone incident” that took place in episode four. This was also based on a real-life murder that took place in Japan in the late 1980s. A pregnant woman on the verge of giving birth was murdered in Nagoya and her unborn baby cut out of her stomach. Bizarrely, when her body was found, the baby was still alive beside her and a phone had been placed inside her cut womb. The killer was never found.
4. The child killer “M”.
The child killer referred to as “M” over several episodes is based on the real life “Little Girl Murderer” Miyazaki Tsutomu. He killed four young girls during the late 80s, much like M, by first getting them into his car and then killing them. Miyazaki was eventually arrested after an abduction attempt went wrong and the girl’s father called the police. He was convicted of killing all four girls and then sentenced to death, which was carried out in Tokyo on June 17, 2008.
Paranormal investigator named Yasuo
He gonna slice the spirits with wind lol
hahahaha..Brother YONE iz Comin.
Ivan Nemam prezime HASAKI
Ban him.
nah bro hes gonna feed for that 0/20 powerspike
What's interesting is that the news footage in the background is actually real events, or at least based on real events, in particular:
9:50 Murder of Junko Furuta
Dear Foundflix,
Can you please make an ending explanation of a korean series, Nightmare Teacher. It is really interesting tv series and i bet that you will definitely love it. It is about the mystery thing that happen to the school after a temporary teacher come to the class. so manipulative. The ending is really dramatic and hard to understand. May you please help create the explain for this series.
Sincerely
Me: Ughhh, 2020 can’t get any worse
Ju on: Did we mention we’re based off of true events?
The last episode confused me the most! I loved the whole thing. But got lost there in the end
Haruka(woman who boyfriend died and is an actress is lady in white the end is the beginning the whole origin is the loop. When the school girl who is the rape victim met lady in white that when the loop met in circle lady in white haded her kid to her so the boy who got beaten and in vegetative state is lady in white(aka Haruka kid) that's why in the past they can't find the kid the clue that explain this is when the boy drawn ghostly figure and called it his mon and when Kimie(rape school girl) tell her boyfriend(man who rape her) that lady in white handed her baby to her.
@@minorityreport978
Wait was she pregnant though? Haruka never looked like it to me and they only hinted at marriage and not baby stuff. I will say though that is a crazy twist and would fit nicely, well as nicely as a time loop can be
DooDoo_Burd /Illustrator that was more confusing if anything xD
Vincent Lopez Haruka is kidnapped by the landlord’s son (guy in underwear) who rapes Haruka while he keeps Haruka in the attic. He murders Haruka, but the child was born already & taken by Kiyomi.
@@minorityreport978 ?????
9:53 that's junko furuta's story if I'm not mistaken. Now I'm excited to watch this!!~
Omg I clicked so fast when I saw this in my notifications. Made my day man
It's pretty cool how the show incorporates REAL things that were happening in Japan at the time. They even included the sarin gas attack.
*You got some of the story beats wrong. Yodai DIDN'T run away like the boy told him to - he ran AFTER he got one of his kidneys removed.
