| 1 | "The Mysterious Classmate" Transcription: "Nazo no Kurasumēto" (Japanese: 謎のクラスメート) | April 4, 2015[6] | |
|
Ever since she was young, Sakura Mamiya has been capable of seeing ghosts, a feat which normal humans are unable to perform. However, after all these years she just wishes she'd lose this ability. One day, she meets Rinne Rokudō, a classmate who never shows up to school, but realises that no one else can see him, so she assumes him to be a ghost until he shows up the next day and everyone can see him. Approaching Rinne, he reveals himself to be a half-human-half-shinigami, and that he cannot be seen by ordinary humans while wearing a special robe called Haori of the Underworld, which unleashes his shinigami half. Rinne saves Sakura from two merged ghosts later that day, letting Sakura understand the importance of his job. Deciding to stay out of the way, Sakura distances herself from Rinne, which is easy considering Rinne hasn't showed up to school since that day, which he only did to fulfill attendance requirements. Sakura's friend Rika Momoi confides in her soon after about her receiving mysterious calls on her new cellphone. Overhearing, Rinne tells of a "rumour" to put an offering in the school's weather-box out in the courtyard, coupled with a note explaining the problem. There is actually no such legend and Rinne is just using it to extort food and money from students due to his poverty. Sakura ultimately manages to convince him to help Rika. Together, they find out that the calls are the doing of a spirit who had lost a school jacket and was rushing to take it back as a girl he liked had sown his name on it and it was something dear to him. On the way however, a flower pot fell on his head and he died instantly. Rinne returns the jacket and the spirit, thankful, rests in peace. | |||
| 2 | "The Memory of the Red Ring" Transcription: "Akai Wa no Kioku" (Japanese: 赤い輪の記憶) | April 11, 2015[7] | |
| 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. | |||

After a spiritual incident at an abandoned club building, she comes across a cat that turns out to be Rokumon, sent by Tamako to help her grandson in his shinigami duties. Sakura finds out that Rinne lives in the abandoned building because his grandpa died and that he has to take on his grandma's entire shinigami workload due to marrying and extending the lifespan of a human. The next day, another spiritual presence is felt around the building. | |||
| 4 | "If You Don't Mind Starting as Friends" Transcription: "Tomodachi Kara de Yokereba" (Japanese: 友だちからで良ければ) | April 25, 2015[9] | |
| 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. | |||
| 5 | "Hanako-san the Toilet Girl" Transcription: "Toire no Hanako-san" (Japanese: トイレの花子さん) | May 2, 2015[10] | |
| 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 the 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. | |||
| 6 | "Voice of the Roadside Shrine" Transcription: "Hokora no Koe" (Japanese: 祠の声) | May 9, 2015[11] | |
| 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. | |||

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.

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.

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'.

| Ageha, head over heels in love with Rinne, uses an expensive stacked lunch box from her family's warehouse to make lunch for him. At that, Sakura gets jealous and Rinne embarrassed, especially when the soba noodles on the rice are formed into the shape of a heart. 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 (who is more worried for Sakura than Rinne's sake) 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. As Rinne and Ageha go exterminating them, Sakura mistakes another intimate moment for them to be a couple. | |||

| 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. | |||

After recognising her as the sister of the Damashigami Company's secretary, he embarrasses and criticises her, labelling her as "stupid", causing her to find Rinne and tell him everything. Kain arrives soon after school and reveals that Sabato caused his family to be broke as his divorced mother was blinded by love and gave him all their money, causing him to give up on his dreams of going to high school, instead getting a job at the Mortal Census Bureau for shirushigami. He attempts to kill Rinne as that will pay off all the debts, succeeding in taking his Haori of the Underworld, and Life Flame, which accounts for his entire lifespan, as collateral for a loan. With Rinne's spirit, Sakura, Rokumon, Ageha and Tsubasa rush to regain Rinne's Life Flame before ten in the morning the next day, when the Afterlife Recycle Shop opens and Kain can sell it off. They find Kain's house and mother, who is still unbelievably being conned by Sabato, as well as the robe and Life Flame.

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.

Sabato reveals his plot of how the spirit eagerly took on the doll's body after hearing that it would never get tired, and Sabato "generously" donated special noodles to him to make his ramen that can suck the souls out of all the customers. Rinne is at a loss of words when Sabato says that he doesn't understand the heart of that spirit, but concocts an impressive plot by calling the restaurant and requesting for a delivery of 500 bowls of ramen stacked.

Much to her surprise, Sabato returns the money, and Bijin realises that he had hidden 5,000 yen inside the photoframe making him so desperate to get it back. Masato goes camping and places demon-summoning tags in all the resort cottages, which attracts the notice of a young boy. Curious, he goes out every night to burn these tags, curious of seeing a demon in real life, unaware that his older sister has called Rinne, Tsubasa and Sakura, who immediately recognise Masato even though he is hiding his wings. Masato originally intended to be summoned and then capture the boy's soul to bring it to Hell, but just as he is about to escape, Rinne gets in his way. Masato concocts another plan instead and hosts a barbeque, revealing a magic circle and intends to bring Hell's Army to destroy them, but they are surprisingly on holiday.

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. | |||||||
