What Is the Plot of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube?
Hell Teacher Nube follows Kyouzou Nube, an unconventional teacher at Doumoro Elementary School. Although he appears to be an ordinary teacher, he possesses a supernatural hand that contains immense powers. A supernatural force curses Nube’s hand, and it allows him to exorcise, control, and even interact with those spirits. He uses his hand in battles against supernatural beings such as vengeful spirits and demons. Those monsters often threaten the safety of his students, and it’s up to Nube to protect them.
Although he has to protect the students, he teaches them valuable life lessons, encouraging them to face their fears and inner demons. The series is largely episodic, with each chapter or arc focusing on different threats that Nube protects his students from. The series is a perfect blend of supernatural action, quirky characters, emotional moments, and intriguing references to Japanese folklore.
