Sadako's method of seeking victims seems like a simple one, those who watch her cursed video tape will die after 7 days. But many viewers, especially those in the west who are unfamiliar to the Ring books, have no idea how deep the well goes. From the origin of her mystical powers from a BCE cave ascetic to the viral nature of Sadako's curse, to her continual cloning and eventual cancerization of entire worlds, this video will cover the ENTIRE (!) chronological history of Sadako as we breakdown and analyze the character as told by Koji Suzuki's iconic book series.
