Episode 10 of Hell’s Paradise delivered us the knowledge of Tao and its abilities once an individual masters them.
The last episode ended with Chobei and Toma having an encounter with the Tentacle Doshi, where Chobei was brutally injured by the invisible attacks of the Doshi while Toma was dealing with the Soshins.
In the latest episode, we will unravel more of the mystery surrounding Tao and Lord Tensen.
Hell’s Paradise is getting more exciting day by day, leaving the viewers on edge with every episode.
Hell’s Paradise Episode 11 Recap: How does Chobei discover his new power, and what role does Tao play in it?
When the Doshi tries to throw his body into the hole, Chobei smashes the Doshi’s mud-like face with a punch and catches him off guard.
Chobei surprises the Doshi with his regenerated neck despite being a mere human. He suspects that while Chobei was in the hole, he might have merged with the vines in the hole emerging from the bodies.
Now Asa Chobei states that he can sense the Tao around Doshin. He connects the dots and realises that it can be the way to kill them and their supreme leader, Lord Tensen.
Unlocking his new power, Chobei breaks his arm, and no sooner did he break his arm than his Tao increased rapidly.
He attacks the navel with a sharp strike, and the Doshi falls down on his knees.
Chobei closely observes how the Doshi manipulates his Tao and attempts to do the same thing against him. Seeing that his Tao is slowly fading away, he finishes off the fight with a final blow.
Lying at the mercy of Chobei, he demands the Doshi spill the beans already.
Chobei feels mighty with his newly acquired inhumane power, but it concerns his brother, Toma. He observes that the mark around his neck resembles that of vines and is spreading.
Hell’s Paradise Episode Ending ExplainedGantetsusai’s Vengeance and How Has Gabimaru’s Character Development Influenced His Determination to Protect Mei?
Meanwhile, in the fight against the Soshins that attacked Gantetsusai and Gabimaru, Gantetsusai keeps asking Mei if his and Gabimaru’s fighting styles are accurate or not. Mei nods her head in disagreement and says that they are using too much of their strength.
Fuchi gathers information by conducting anatomical studies of the dead Soshins.
Fuchi wants to know the true identity of Mei. I was wondering how she saved Gabimaru the other day from the Tensen; she is not an ordinary girl.
Gabimaru looks her way a tad bit longer with his wondering eyes, and that makes her cry.
The Centipede Doshi attacks Gantetsusai from behind. He blocked the surprise attack but could not save Mei from being snatched away from his shoulder.
When the Doshi greets her and addresses her as Lady Mei, everyone is startled. He politely requests that she return to Horai.
Upon being asked by Gabimaru the reason for his request, he answers that Lady Mei is similar to Lord Tensen. She must return to Horai to complete the training the Doshis are undergoing now.
Gabimaru comes to her rescue and says that despite not having any connections with Mei, he is still willing to protect her because he doesn’t want to see her cry anymore.
If anyone has undergone a development of character, then it has to be Gabimaru. Popularly known as the Hollow Gabimaru, he has started filling up that void with humanity subconsciously. He has become too humanistic to be called a hollow man anymore.
The Doshi takes it as a challenge and partners himself with another Doshi, the butterfly Doshi, whose arrival took all three of them by surprise as they couldn’t sense him at all.
They declare that they will reduce them to Tan and take back what originally belonged to them.
Intent on retrieving Mei, the Doshis announce a wide-scale attack on them. Before Gabimaru can come up with a seamless strategy to fight against them, Gantetsusai channels his beast within him and takes charge of killing the Butterfly Doshi.
Finally, his day of vengeance arrives, and he can take his revenge on the Butterfly Doshi. He seeks to avenge the loss of his left hand at the cost of the venom injected by one of the poisonous butterflies on his left hand.
When Gabimaru is asked by them why they are hell-bent on protecting Mei despite any connections, Gabimaru’s answers show how much of a change he has observed in himself since the first day on this island.
He says that he has been acting very out of character from day one. Helping others by pushing aside his true aim is not what he usually does. It is surprising enough for him to act in such a different manner, but somehow he has come to terms with it, stating that he is repaying a debt that he owes. Gabimaru has accepted the sudden transformation and has no complaints about it.
Mei’s Importance and the Doshis’ Training: Why do they need her in Horai?
Now Gabimaru asks the Doshis the reason for their retrieval of Mei. He explains to them that Mei is the key component of the last level of their training. Without her, it is incomplete.
He further explains that there are five ascetic methods to train oneself in the ways of Tao. Do’in, Taisoku, Shu’itsu, Shuten, and the last and most important one is Bochu Jutsu. The first four can be trained all alone, but the fifth one demands a training partner that involves sexual intercourse for the cycle of Yin and Yang. This is where Mei comes in to be of help.
To join the two chis, Yin and Yang, Mei should be present in Horai. Unlike Lord Tensen, who possesses the unbreakable flow of both energies, Mei is of an inferior breed and has the energy of only Yin flowing through her. This is the reason she was expelled from the palace.
Lord Tensen is the only one who has mastery over all five methods of sublime training. To manifest Tao, he has been practising for the past 1000 years.
Assisting the Doshis in Bochu Jutsu was the choice she made when she was given the choice between a humiliating death and reforging herself as their training partner. She was scarred by Lord Rien to mark her for that very purpose.
By combining the Yin of Lady Mei and their Yang, they will be able to complete the cycle and accomplish their Bochu Jutsu training.
Thinking of such a hideous act being forced upon Mei disgusted the three of them.
Hell’s Paradise Episode 11 RecapGabimaru’s Awakening of Tan: How Does It Contribute to His Growth?
Gabimaru is infuriated at the thought of Mei being talked about as a mere object. In his presence, he will never allow this to happen at any cost.
Gantetsusai and Gabimaru prepare themselves to have a bloody fight with the Doshis to protect Mei from her destined fate.
The Centipede Doshi transforms into a huge monster by using Senjutsu False Kishikai to mark the end of the humans and turn the place into a graveyard for them.
Gantetsusai’s excellent swordsmanship skills allow him to kill the poisonous butterflies, but he inhales the butterflies’ powder, which makes him dizzy.
When he asks Gabimaru to back him up, we see him already busy fighting the centipede Doshi. His ninja tricks do not affect it. They are not as strong as the attacks he faced during his fight with Zhu Jin, but it would be stupid to underestimate him. On top of that, they also have the power to pull off those invisible attacks.
Gantetsusai warns Gabimaru of the poisonous attacks of the butterflies. With his Ninpo Pyro Bridge attack, he burns the butterflies and creates a barrier of fire between the Doshis and themselves.
It gives him time to think. Gabimaru can sense the invisible power of Tao, but it is not enough yet to stand a chance against his real enemy.
Fuchi interprets what Mei has been trying to convey. He says that Gabimaru is focusing too much on his strength.
To defect from Tao, one must embrace both his strengths and weaknesses. To see it, one needs rigorous training. In the case of Gabimaru, he has to acknowledge his weakness to sense Tao. He has to make his heart weaker.
Tao is a visualisation of life’s energy itself. It cannot be sensed without both strength and weakness.
After hearing Mei say, Strong,” Fruit of weakness Weak. The seed of strength reminds him of Sagiri. He realises her strength, which in turn awakens his Tao.
It startles Fuchi when Gabimaru says that he has understood how to sense the Tao with just a brief explanation.
Considering his background—he was born and bred in the well-known Iwagakura Clan of Shinobi—his quick understanding of how to detect Tao was not very surprising.
Hell’s Paradise Episode Ending Explained: Sinister Revelation, and how does Gabimaru become on par with Lord Tensen?
The episode proceeds towards its end, with Gabimaru becoming unstoppable as he is finally able to detect the Tao. He reads the invisible attacks of the Doshi and dodges them.
Gabimaru senses the presence of Tao all around him as clear as day. He can read the moves of his opponent now.
He wonders why his rigid Shinobi training alone did not grant him such a sensation. Combined with it, his acceptance of his weakness made it happen.
He becomes so accurate in his senses that he can easily pinpoint each movement of the Doshi. From the Tao enveloping each insect, Gabimaru foresees their moves and delivers a major blow at them.
Seeing Gabimaru, a mere human being, attain such extreme power, the Doshi trembles in fear as he starts seeing the resemblance of Lord Tensen in him.
With a final blow, he defeats the Doshi and declares that he is finally ready to go against Lord Tensen and kill him.
Gabimaru asks the Doshi about the whereabouts of his other allies and Lord Tensen. He confesses that he and his allies were instructed to spy on the humans to eradicate them if they became a threat to their existence.
But the Doshi commits the mistake of launching another attack on them only to end up getting slayed by Gnatentsusai in two halves and burned by Gabomaru’s attack, Ninpo: Stine Storm, Centipede Mode.
The episode ends when Sagiri, Yamazuki, Senta-Dono, and Hoko reach Horai. They are greeted by Mu Dan, who breaks Hoko’s neck as soon as they enter the palace.
