Hell Teacher Jigoku Sensei Nube (2025) Part 2 [Season 1 Episode 14]

Hell Teacher Jigoku Sensei Nube (2025) Part 2 Episode 14: A Tear-Jerking Return to Form

Let’s cut to the chase: if you thought Studio Kai’s Hell Teacher Jigoku Sensei Nube remake couldn’t top Part 1’s emotional highs, Episode 14 is here to prove you wrong. This isn’t just a “comeback episode”—it’s a masterclass in why Nube is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) teacher, packed with enough feels to make even the toughest anime fan grab a tissue.

First off, let’s get the basics straight: this is the second cour (season split) of the 2025 remake, produced by Studio Kai and hitting screens in Winter 2026. But forget release dates—this episode dives straight into the heart of what makes Nube special: its ability to mix supernatural chaos with raw, human emotion.

The episode centers on Kyoko, one of Nube’s students, who finds herself trapped in a bizarre “alternate timeline” (or is it a dream? The line blurs perfectly). Imagine waking up to find your classmates—Miki and Hiroshi, of all people—married, and you’re suddenly an adult with a life you don’t recognize. That’s Kyoko’s nightmare, and it’s terrifying. As one fan put it, “I know the kids deal with literal demons on a near-daily basis, but something about Kyoko’s ordeal felt the most terrifying. The pain in her eyes after she learned Hiroshi married Miki was so palpable.”

But here’s the kicker: even in this messed-up world, Nube is still Nube. Paralyzed and stuck in a wheelchair, he somehow finds a way to reach Kyoko across timelines. The scene where he saves her? Chef’s kiss. “The fact that Nube in another timeline, even in a paralysis state, still able to save his student from another timeline, it’s so touching,” gushed a viewer. “Those children are so lucky to have Nube as their teacher.”

And let’s talk about the feels. This episode is a certified tear-jerker. Fans were shocked (in the best way) by how emotional it got: “Damn wasn’t expecting a tear jerker first thing. Nube the GOAT. I hope things end up much much better for them.” Another added, “I loved it! I didn’t expect this episode to be the first for the second cour, but I love how tense and serious they made it. I’m just happy to see my new favorite series back on.”

Now, let’s geek out about the source material. Longtime fans of the 1996 original will flip when they realize this episode adapts the Makuragaeshi chapter—way earlier than the OG anime did. “Wait, they’re already adapting Makuragaeshi chapter this early? I thought they’re going to save it til one of the last like in the 1996 anime did lol,” a veteran fan noted. But Studio Kai pulls it off, blending nostalgia with fresh energy.

And can we talk about the ship tease? Ritsuko sensei and Nube shippers, rejoice! There’s an “indirect confirmation” of their relationship, as one fan pointed out: “Also indirect confirmation on Nube x Ritsuko sensei ship ig. Love the new ending theme btw.” The new ED (ending theme) is a bop, by the way—fans are raving about it, calling it a highlight of the episode.

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Some viewers had mixed feelings about the pacing. “To be honest this episode seemed more like a final episode, but I enjoyed it,” one admitted. And while the new OP (opening theme) by Oral Cigarette is “mediocre” according to some, the ED is a clear winner. “Love the new ending theme btw,” another fan chimed in.

What makes this episode stand out, though, is its ability to balance big moments with small, meaningful details. Nube’s character hasn’t changed—he’s still the same badass teacher who’ll risk everything for his students. As one commenter put it, “He’s still a teacher and a badass.” And that’s exactly why we love him.

So, is Episode 14 worth watching? Abso-freaking-lutely. Whether you’re a diehard fan of the original or a newcomer to the series, this episode hooks you from the first minute and doesn’t let go. It’s tense, it’s heartfelt, and it’s a reminder of why Hell Teacher Jigoku Sensei Nube is more than just a supernatural anime—it’s a story about love, loyalty, and the power of a great teacher.

Final verdict? Nube is back, and he’s better than ever. Don’t sleep on this one—your feels (and your inner anime fan) will thank you.

P.S. Keep an eye out for Izuna hints—fans are speculating she might make an appearance later this cour. Fingers crossed! 🤞
