The storyboards for the first three chapters of Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku were brought to the Shōnen Jump+ editorial staff in 2017. Although he thought having the Battle Royale-style story in a manga would be interesting; he worried it would cause a badly paced story where they would have to split up the pages between characters and be unable to show the main characters' actions as much.

However, Gabimaru found himself betrayed by the village after they left him to be arrested and sentenced to death. The beginning of this edition sees him encountering another of the criminals sent to the island to find the elixir of life, the one-handed swordsman Tamiya Gantetsusai, who is accompanied by his Yamada Asaemon executioner Fuchi. Gabimaru has once again just defeated some of the local monsters, the Soshin, while helping the rather helpless Soshin girl Mei.

As Gabimaru and his executioner explore the island, they come under attack from creatures that resemble gods but behave like devils.Later, a second landing party puts themselves in the middle of the conflict with little regards for the first team's current situation.

They're mostly letting me draw whatever the heck I want for this, so I feel very lucky if people are enjoying it.

This revelation leads to Gabimaru fighting to protect Mei even more, and to stop the Soshin from treating Mei like an object. Sagiri initial attempts to execute Gabimaru but, after hearing about his past, gives him the chance to be free of his wrongdoings and live the normal life he desired with his wife by offering him a mission requested by the shogun.
