| ShortSummary
| - Reiji, a high-school boy, has been in a coma ever since an accident with his motorbike and a street pole while on his way to pick his girlfriend Minami. Sakura sees his spirit at the pole and a bat-like figure carrying him away, as well as writing a misspelled "curse" word on his forehead. Later, Rinne, Sakura, Minami and another classmate of hers are lured to the roof, where Reiji's cursed spirit attempts to pull Minami off the cliff, but her wrestling skills saved herself. Later, Minami shows the three to the hospital where Reiji is sleeping, and as Rinne tries to return Reiji's spirit to his body, fails thanks to the bat-like boy again. He reveals himself to be a demon by the name of Masato who despises Rinne thanks to him causing him to fail a homework assignment and beating him every time when he tries to send other spirits to Hell. To pay back six years' worth of interest, Masato takes Reiji's spirit and escapes.
While Rinne goes to buy some merchandise, Sakura, along with Rokumon, tries to convince Reiji of Masato's twisted lies that Minami is dating someone else behind his back. She fails, and luckily Rinne saves her from a deadly fall and successfully removes the "curse" sign from his forehead. However, this is all part of Masato's plan to lure Rinne to Hell while trapping Reiji in a bottle. (en)
- Rinne accepts unwillingly, and Sabato organises a contest for him to get engaged to one of the many girls in the company. Rinne refuses, and the truth behind his poverty was due to his father stealing all his money, who is now wanting to get his fingerprints to access his bank. After a fight in which Rinne's scythe is converted back to a 5000 yen note, Rinne tries to avoid his fingerprints getting obtained by his father. Meanwhile, Sakura, Tsubasa and Rokumon escape their cells and Sakura comes across Sabato's safe. Guessing his password correctly, she realises that anything Sabato converts to money is automatically transported to the safe. Sakura returns Rinne's scythe and credit cards so his father can no longer withdraw money from his bank. They manage to escape the headquarters and return home safe. (en)
- Sakura and the rest of the students from the school get a warning from a masked woman in a kimono, telling them to make an offering in the weather-box or be cursed forever. Suspecting Rinne, Sakura questions him but Rinne seems to be innocent. The masked woman, revealed to be Rinne's grandmother, Tamako, arrives to retrieve the students' offerings and is followed by both Rinne and Sakura into the spirit world, where Rinne confronts his grandmother. Sakura, however, gets separated from Rinne and falls to a spirit temple festival, where she meets a suspicious pink rabbit that guides her to the Circle of Reincarnation, a magic red circle suspended in the sky that is where spirits go after they pass on to be reborn. Meanwhile, Tamako helps Rinne find Sakura on the Circle of Reincarnation, where Rinne promptly brings her back and defeat the pink bunny who threatens to stop them. Returning to Tamako's house, she warns Sakura from ever going on the Circle of Reincarnation because she is still a living person, in addition to stay away from creatures like the pink bunny, who are damashigami, shinigami who illegally steal living people to be reborn to fill up their spirit quota. As Rinne takes Sakura home, she remembers encountering the same rabbit on her first trip to the spirit world, where Tamako fed her some candy and allowed her subsequently to see spirits. (en)
- Miho overhears a rumour about a roadside shrine filled with moaning voices from a woman on the street, so she asks Rika and Sakura to accompany her to take a look. The shrine appears broken and empty, but there are faint children screams of "Help!" inside that scare Rika and Miho away. Sakura, however, goes to consult Rinne, only to find another man doing so, accompanied by Tsubasa. The man requests Rinne's help as his younger brother Yoshi had begin to injure their faces and develop cat-like traits. From seeing the boy, Rinne finds out that it is actually a cat monster impersonating Yoshi, and has kidnapped him and his two other friends, leaving one more. Uncomfortable that Sakura only asks Rinne for help, Tsubasa attempts to capture the cat monster himself only to be confronted by another, along with the one impersonating Yoshi. He is soon paralysed but Rinne manages to free him. When his scythe breaks and there is no hope left, Sakura and Rokumon consult a cat encyclopedia stating to lure them into the shrine and seal it. Just as Rinne is about to do so with his intriguing staff, the woman from the street appears and pushes Rinne along with the cat monsters into the shrine, releasing the boys, who also reveal that that was the woman that had lured them to open the shrine in the first place. Tsubasa manages to release Rinne and lock the cat monsters away for good using special Holy Ash, and the woman on the street is revealed to be a damashigami, an evil shinigami who takes people to the afterlife whether they are dead or not to fill up their spirit quota. She gets away and it is foreshadowed that the boss of her organisation knows Rinne. (en)
- Sakura comes across Sabato's sold junk in the shed, including a secret box meant for Rinne that is protected by a special barrier. Waking up the others, Ageha destroys the shed, allowing them to bring him the box containing a secret object. The object is revealed to be a Hoop of Judgement, a legendary tool that can bring the bearer to the criminal of their wish. Although Rinne initially thought that he pulled Sakura with him into the Rinne no Wa, the Hoop of Judgement transports them to Sabato as he is the root of all the crimes that were wrongly placed on his son, who is currently stopping by Kain's place to borrow money again. As Kain hides and prepares many fake Life Flames, Rinne duels with him using Ageha's scythe as the others attempt to find the real one. All of them meet in the sitting-room, where Rinne manages to regain his Life Flame but his father gets away. Eventually, Kain understands that Rinne is also a victim of Sabato and anyway is protected by the Hoop of Judgement, which can activate when the user is also attacked unjustly. (en)
- Sakura's old elementary school classmate, Tsubasa Jumonji, transfers into her and Rinne's class and Sakura's friends Rika and Miho Aogiri immediately notice he has a crush on her. A flashback reveals that Tsubasa had a lonely childhood belonging to a family of exorcists, as he could see spirits and frequently moved, as such nobody but Sakura understood him or could see what he saw. He attempts to win her attention and is suspicious of Rinne's relationship with her. Things get worse when Rinne learns that Tsubasa kills off spirits instead of purifying them using a sacred expensive substance known as Holy Ash. To teach him a lesson that not all spirits are wicked, Rinne goes on a triple date with Tsubasa, Sakura and her friends, as well as a ghost who died in sickness and had a crush on Miho previously but never got the chance to talk to her. By the end of the date, Rinne is broke thanks to Rika and the ghost departs the world in peace. (en)
- Rinne and Rokumon have come down with "Spirit Flu", so Sakura and Tsubasa go to see them. While they are there, a mysterious doctor bear and a robotic nurse appear, saying that they have come to help on the behest of Rinne's relatives. Believing them to be sent from his grandmother, Rinne almost lets them inject him with poison but luckily Tsubasa unzips the bear suit of the doctor bear, revealing a skeletal damashigami. After a brief scuffle in which the two are ejected out of the place, another man resembling Rinne greatly appears and affectionately calls him "son", which Rinne later reveals that that is his father, Sabato Rokudō, and that he is also the boss of the illegal 'Damashigami Company'. Sabato quickly transports his son, Sakura, Tsubasa and Rokumon to the headquarters and requests that Rinne become the heir to the company or he will send his friends to the Rinne no Wa to be killed. (en)
- Sakura overhears Reiji muttering an apology to Minami for causing her such trouble, and "If she ever finds that thing, please tell her to throw it away." To look for the "thing", Rokumon gives the street pole Reji knocked into a temporary soul to give them information. They find out about a dog named Lucifer who likes to urinate there and collect leftover junk, including Reiji's present to Minami, whom Sakura gifts to. Meanwhile, Masato uses Reiji's soul as bait to lure Rinne to Hell so that he accumulates debts here illegally and goes to Debt Hell, where sinners who have commit sins in Hell itself are forced to work for eternity. Throwing away Reiji's spirit, Rinne dives into Debt Hell to save it. After a skirmish in which forged bank notes from Masato are involved, Hell police offer to relieve Rinne of all charges if he reveals the culprit, but chooses not to, so in return has Masato pay all his charges with his immense wealth. Retrieving Reiji's spirit, he returns after seeing the Minami receive the pair rings present he got for her, and is revived.
On a side note, Masato lost all his allowance paying for Rinne's charges, and is scolded for breaking an oni's window. (en)
- Rinne, after being broke from the triple date, espies a "Wanted" poster for a mega-sized spirit, the reward being 10,000 yen. Seizing this opportunity, he goes out to find it so that he can rebuy his scythe, which he had no choice to sell previously for living expenses and now costs 5000 yen at the pawnshop. Meanwhile, a spirit enters the school and begins vandalising the toilets and classrooms with mini handprints. The culprit is revealed to be Hanako, the spirit of a little girl who used to haunt the toilets in elementary school, but got driven out by Tsubasa and as such bears a grudge against him. Wishing to take revenge, she borrows power from a greater, more powerful evil spirit, but is ignorant of that fact that he is trying to gain her trust first before absorbing her into himself and becoming stronger. Recognising the evil spirit to be the one on the advertisement, Rinne manages to purify it and save Hanako when Tsubasa is unable to defeat it. After the skirmish, Tsubasa realises that Hanako only stayed in the toilet because that was her home, and he had driven her out for absolutely no reason, thus apologising to her and allowing her to rest in peace. Going to collect his reward, Rinne realises that someone else had already done so. (en)
- Renge tricks Rokumon into drinking Hench Tea, a type of tea she tried to serve to Sakura the previous episode that will turn the drinker into the server's servant instantly. Rokumon proceeds to give Rinne, Tsubasa and Sakura the tea as well, and Renge orders Rinne to work for her as . damashigami and Sakura to help her lure boys' souls with a pheromone spray as well, leaving Tsubasa behind to clean the floor. While Renge's plot appears to be working well, the Hench Tea starts to wear off because Rokumon, being used to making tea without much tea leaves, only added a tenth of the cup as tea leaves while the rest was water.
Next, Renge pretends to make protective straps that protect one from spirits, causing a great number of students to get them, but it can only temporarily exorcise spirits before the school becomes a vacuum full of them. Knowing that those harbouring the protective straps will be possessed by especially evil spirits, she goes to the rooftop, where many students have gathered wanting to commit suicide. Unfortunately, Rinne realises that his scythe blade had been pawned by Rokumon because it was the only way for them to earn money to buy food. Tsubasa gets to work with his Holy Ash, while Sakura tries to inform the school community about the straps being cursed. However, gathering all the straps to be disposed is part of Renge's plan to let them suck up evil aura and gather other evil spirits. Unfortunately, her plan backfires as the straps had sucked up all the hobo aura in the clubrooms instead, leaving Sakura unharmed. Rokumon also pawns Renge's furniture without her permission and manages to rebuy Rinne's scythe blade. (en)

When Erika confronts Renge and her boyfriend, Shuuto on the rooftop, Renge has him jump to catch her as she floats off the roof and a gateway to the Afterlife appears behind her but Rinne manages to intervene and save him, much to Renge's annoyance. By the time Shuuto comes to, he cannot remember Renge, and Rinne deduces that she was trying to lure him into the Afterlife, making her out to be a damashigami. After school, Renge asks that Sakura take her to her house and begin to have tea with her, but not before she sucks out Tsubasa's soul on the pretext of asking him to remove the spirit perpetually hanging around her. When Rinne discovers Tsubasa, he fights Renge, who reveals the spirit around her is a fake designed to lure men and is sprayed with pheromone liquid. Rinne manages to foil her plot and lure the men away out of the portal by planting a temporary soul into Tsubasa's body and emptying the pheromone liquid onto it. Meanwhile, Renge has Sakura taken to a virtual realm with Tsubasa's caged soul, and engulfs Rinne with water within the portal. Although Rinne tries to destroy the tap, he is knocked out. Renge throws Tsubasa into her vault, and decides to keep Sakura as her first girl friend, as well as her servant so she can be twice as efficient and lure more male souls.

However, on the last layer, there reveals to be octopus wieners that turn into one humongous orange octopus called the Konjikiou. Hearing Rinne's wish in his heart to talk to Sakura alone and explain everything to her, everyone is suddenly forced out of the classroom and can't get back in. Ageha soon receives news from her grandmother that that box held an evil spirit inside that will grant three wishes to the bearer in exchange for his/her soul. Frantic, Ageha along with Tsubasa try to get in. Sakura is completely oblivious but tells the Konjikiou to "shut up" so he can speak to Sakura, and it counts that as a second wish. Just one more wish before it consumes Rinne's soul, but Rinne realises and slices it, splitting it into many tiny octopus wieners instead that go around the whole city granting three wishes.

- Masato informs Tsubasa that the power stone, now corrupted, contains enough dark energy to curse someone, and encourages him to curse Rinne with the help of a demon book picked up from Hell. He instructs Tsubasa to place his hand on the book and simply wish before departing. Tsubasa refuses and dumps the book then and there. However, after watching Sakura give more cookies to Rinne, he becomes jealous and finds himself cursing Rinne to be struck by lightning, as well as the demon book being returned to him. Frightened, Tsubasa dumps it away only for it to be returned to him by Rokumon, who thought it was his notes, just at that same moment when he was blaming Rinne for "taking advantage of being poor so that he could mooch of Sakura". At that moment, crows fly into his house and steal all the cookies given by Sakura. Even more frightened and panicked, Tsubasa also realises that the power stone becomes darker each time he curses and decides to gift Rinne a good luck charm secretly that can ward off curses, only to find that Rinne gave it to Sakura instead and curses him, causing rain to leak through the roof and coincidentally on Rinne, wetting his food. Tsubasa tries to burn the book but it is returned again just as he finished setting a trap for Masato, who wants to receive Tsubasa's corrupted soul to Hell. The trap transports Masato, but also Rinne who had deduced this was all his doing. Tsubasa accidentally curses Rinne again and decides that the ultimate punishment is for him to curse himself to die and go to Hell, which clears the power stone halfway because it reflects its owner's soul. He also receives a bounce-back curse and successfully clears the power stone. However, it darkens a little again when he get jealous of Rinne later. (en)

- It is the time of the year again where the A-1 Grand Prix is to be held, a competition where 5,000 evil spirits gather to compete against each other in cursing and hunting people, always choosing a target. The spirits are currently locked in an old well and Sakura opens it out of curiosity, causing her to be targeted by the evil spirits. Furthermore, because of eating candy Tamako gave her, she reverted to a normal human and is unable to see spirits anymore, and is thus unknowing of the danger she is in. Rinne accompanies her everywhere in his Haori of the Underworld to stay unseen to protect her, and after killing the last spirit at his house where Sakura is, the candy's side effects wear off and she can see and touch him again.
