What do you guys suppose a "sole soul" means? What do they mean by "sole"? Meaning said soul can't see or hear other souls?

 

Chapter 1.

 

So the murderous son gets to get reincarnated and his father who was just trying to save lives has go to to eternal torment, that's  horrible.

 

 

Chapter 2 with the car/bus accident, the two girls, old man and mafia guy. 

 

It was irresponsible to drive and drink, but that doesn't mean its the same as intentionally  killing those 4 people. If the old man wanted to save the father from going to hell by killing the drunk driver, he should have made sure if that was the case first, as it is, it seems like he wasn't going to. Anyway the guy was caught and jailed, kind of hard to kill someone like that (and justice already been served anyway, he was already being punished)

 

 

Chapter 6.

 

It was a complete accident. If anything it was her own fault. Well actually, it was "fated" according to the comic (don't believe in that kind of fate myself), so who ever set that fate is responsible for that death. Well actually, it was the gate girl herself, she showed her just enough of the accident to cause it and get her killed by it.  So why should he have to go to hell when it was the gate guardian that killed her?

 

And will she be going to hell now instead? And whats with this criticism of her not helping all the wandering spirits. It has to be hard to help such a soul anyway, and it sounds like she gave of herself more then most, that she didn't do more isn't a reason for her to go to hell.

Where was the term "sole soul" used? Does it not just mean "one soul"?

 

Yeah, Izuko takes way too many liberties in her job. I wonder how she got it in the first place. The strict rules she says when someone first meets her can be overridden with the right intentions. I still like the series though.

When ever they talk about the three options, the third option being to be a wandering "sole soul" floating around earth for eternity or something, every time it is put like that. And I know what the word sole means, and "one" could be a interpretation of that (more accurate is "only"), but being a wandering one soul doesn't really make any more sense. Neither does "only soul"

 

With the liberties she takes with her job, she should have used them to prevent the tragedies of justice that I mentioned earlier. Unless she thinks it's alright for a father to have to go to hell because he was too busy working to support his family, to properly be there for his son, or thoughtful enough to try to save lives, at his own cost, yet let a serial killer get reincarnated.

Here's a example of that sole soul thing, it's changed in latter chapters though to wandering soul or whatever. http://vatoto.com/read/_/50603/skyhigh-shinshou_v1_ch3a_by_evil-flowers/6

ch 10, kill the self of her that wanted to die? That mean shes going commit suicide because she loves life now and is coming back to life, so she can kill herself again, and then go to hell and not be reincarnated again? HUH?!?

Chapter 11.

Vitality of his soul? Does that mean he ceases to exist? Goes to hell? Has to wait out her lifespan, what?

And ok so she wanted to die originally, but then she wanted to live, but then she flops down trying to get out of the forest and flowers grow around her. But if she dies she's doomed to go to hell, even though she was trying to get out of the forest to live. Anyone else find this a bit convoluted?

http://vatoto.com/read/_/131618/skyhigh-shinshou_v3_ch11b_by_evil-flowers/20

So what, if someone takes a somewhat risky job, knowing it's risky, and then dies on the job, it's suicide and they go to hell? If someone trips walking down the sidewalk, and they distract a driver who gets into a accident and dies, it's murder/killing (by tripping by accident no less) and they are doomed to hell?

Suicide isn't murder, and it would make no sense for someone to go to hell because of it. But that aside, this comic seems to say you can do anything to anyone, short of actually killing them, and you'll be faced with the same 3 choices regardless. But suicide or killing a human, for any and all reason, and by absurdly liberal definitions of these, and your doomed to hell.

 

Apparently there is a god in this comic, and it is random and extremely unfair, even in the afterlife.

 

Some of these stories get totally destroyed by this weird nonsense, some of them are actually pretty good, and some are good but semi-spoiled by nonsense.

 

Chapter 13

http://vatoto.com/read/_/156072/skyhigh-shinshou_v4_ch13a_by_evil-flowers/18

A vengful spirit killed her? But the guardian has said that you only get to kill someone once, within 12 days of dying, and then go to hell. Otherwise the dead are not allowed to kill the living. But now this, how inconsistant of the comic. And vengful for having been mortally sick? What kind of nonsense is this? She should have been given the choice of the three, and if it was to wander the earth, it shouldn't have been possible for her to interact with, much less kill, anyone, based on what the guardian has said before this.

 

Ch14 she brough a insane killer back to life so he can serve jail time? Bend the rules, more like pretzelize them, and for no apparent reason.
