There is nothing extraordinary about this episode except for 2 things: the minimal use of Enma Ai and her assistant and the Memento style narrative structure. I suspect the first one is an attempt to minimise the budget by not using the regular cast as often as they usually do on other episodes. The majority of the dialogue and narration in this episode is delivered by the character of the week, Rina. Enma Ai doesn't even use her "Ippen Shinde Miru" trademark here. The second one is a lot more interesting but I don't think it's effective or make the story any more interesting. All we know that someone wants to send another person to Hell and the narrative uses flashbacks to complete the background story.
