Is Reiko planning on involving Grandpa *Spoilers*


Do you think Reiko was planning on sacrificing her father to save Yoichi?

Hail to the king, baby.

Yes, that's the impression I got.

reply

Yes, he lets Sadako kill him. It's in the 2nd movie.

reply

Yeah it's made pretty clear that she is.

Why did she want to kill him anyway?

sorry about the late reply, but can you copy over the previous VHS tape to save money on blank tapes?

I interpret the ending of Ring and the scene in Ring 2 differently; at least what we learn in Ring 2 anyway.

In Asakawa's death scene she sees her father, who turns to her and asks her something along the lines of "didn't we save Yoichi?" The implication is that he watched the video (copied by Yoichi) willingly and with full understanding of the consequences of doing so; but rather than pass on the curse (or so believed) that chain of the curse was to die with him.
