How does the Asakawa's and my come back to life after dieing in 'Rasen'


Seriously u can't just come baack after dieing!Did the screenplay writer even eatch "RASEN"!Tell me how they appeared again in "Ringu 2".Oh by My I ment Mai Takono.Sorry.

Because Ringu 2 doesn't follow Rasen. It replaces Rasen as the now-official sequel to Ringu.

You could also say that the Ring virus brought them back.Right?

reply

Or you could follow the movie series canon where Ring 2 is an alternative/replacement sequel
dunno why Sadako would bring them back after putting that much effort into offing them
but ya, Rasen did badly so Ring 2 replaced it in terms of storyline

reply

I just think they are both good sequels but Rasen was not as good as all the others. But there is no way to replace the real sequel!

reply

Yeah but how could that explain Riko dieing in both films????

reply

Because in the book series her character was a minor character and her and her child die in rasen the book. The sequels followed the book sort of and killed her, the main problem with it was her character was such a part of the original and changed the entire character of the other lead from ringu.

The original novels were Ring, Rasen, Loop and Birthday. The movies Ring and Rasen came out at the same time in Japan, only Rasen wasn't very popular. Since people kept asking for another sequel, the studio decided to make a Ring 2 and pretend there never was a Rasen.

In my opinion, Rasen was the best sequel any movie ever had and Ring 2 was the worst, but it seems a lot of people dislike Rasen. Probably because many of them haven't read the book.

So Ring 2 is the official sequel, Rasen is the forgotten sequel and Ring 0 is a prequel to the Ring 2 story arc.

I MUCH prefer Rasen. This one was kinda cheesy and had an unexciting plot.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!
