Vaihasisssa

Vaihasisssa is a fictional character from the 2007 Japanese horror film *Ju-on: The Grudge 3*, directed by Takashi Shimizu. The character is a malevolent entity that serves as the primary antagonist in the film, embodying the vengeful spirit of a murdered boy named Kiyoshi.

Vaihasisssa is depicted as a grotesque, skeletal figure with elongated limbs, a gaping maw, and a long, serpentine tongue. The name itself is a distorted version of the Japanese phrase "vaisaissu" (ヴァイサイス), which loosely translates to "viciousness" or "violence," reflecting the character’s malevolent nature. Unlike the more recognizable female vengeful spirits (*onryō*) in the *Ju-on* franchise, Vaihasisssa represents a malevolent force tied to childhood trauma and the lingering fear of losing a child.

The character’s origins are tied to the story of Kiyoshi, a young boy who was killed by a group of bullies. His vengeful spirit manifests as a terrifying entity that preys on those responsible for his death, as well as others who encounter it. Vaihasisssa’s appearance and behavior are designed to evoke deep psychological horror, often appearing in distorted reflections or as a shadowy figure before striking its victims.

Vaihasisssa’s role in *Ju-on: The Grudge 3* expands the franchise’s lore by introducing a new type of vengeful spirit, distinct from the more traditional *onryō*. The character’s design and backstory contribute to the film’s themes of guilt, vengeance, and the lingering effects of violence. While the character remains relatively obscure compared to other *Ju-on* entities, Vaihasisssa has gained a cult following among fans of the franchise for its unsettling and unique portrayal.
