| I just came to the realization that Tomoki from Sora no Otoshimono voices Keiichi. Awesome!! On another note I really hope their plan works out this time, if not I'd be depressed as hell |
| Glad to see how the hostility towards Satoko is resolved so quickly this time. Also, characters like Tomitake are having more active roles, instead of dying each time like before. 4 more episodes to go |
 |
| So all the residents of Hinamizawa are united against Takano and the Yamainu, I can't wait to see how the last 4 episodes pan out. |

Loved when Keiichi and Sataoko came up with that plan and started laughing. windy said: if akasaka dies i am going to be so sad :( ukonkivi said: Man, I'm getting pumped. Though this pretend Rika is dead move does seem kind chancy. I mean, what a bold move to make. Something about this could go very wrong, though I can't put my finger on it. These are my thoughts, guys!! I'm liking how risky Ooishi is about this and how everyone has become so closely knit after all this time thinking of them as all corrupt - especially Oryou. I LOVE what they've shown of her these past few episodes. It's like she's entirely changed as a person. |
 |
| Awe his dad died =( that sucks! omg this is SO good! every1's 2gether putting their abilities 2gether and eventually going 2 create a better Hinimizawa! It was AMAZING when ppl were worried about Sataco! i was so happy! X3 yay i can wait to see how everything works... it was so cool when Akasaka said the phone was tapped jus then i was all hyped like I WANNA HELP! lol... hmm a story that Rika is already dead is VERY clever! OH and i LOVED the part where Mion was freaking out about the money X'D all in all it was an AWESOME epi! |
 |
| LOVING IT!!! feel sorry for oishi, but now everything DOES fit, at the beginning of the anime i was confused, but now, i' starting to get this very complex plot..... still, ON TO THE NEXT EPISODE!!!! XD |
| aww seeing Akasaka return and Rika crying really made me feel sappy. ; ~ ; |
 |
| Awesome~! I'm so excited for the retaliation. Takano will be surprised<3 |
| It's very strange to see Hinamizawa people in this world didnt hold any grudge on hojou's family even Mion grandmother cares about Satoko ... that's totally the opposite for what we have seen before ... so the change become just like that !? I wonder about it . |
kittygoesmad said: i hope it will finally end well in this arc. but one thing - why shion here isn't with them ? I just realized this as well. It seems weird that she's with them in some worlds and then she's not. Great episode~ |
Beedlebud said: Shion lives with her parents, Mion lives with her grandmother. In some arcs she's more defiant to her grandmother and visits Hinamizawa just to spite her (and search for clues) and in others she just keeps being a little obedient in order to evade more punishment. Basically, the one constant thing about Shion is that she always meets Satoshi and always falls in love with him (hence all that stuff about taking Mion's place always happens). The rest changes depending on the arc.kittygoesmad said: i hope it will finally end well in this arc. but one thing - why shion here isn't with them ? I just realized this as well. It seems weird that she's with them in some worlds and then she's not. Great episode~ But really Rika explains this already. She even mentions that she has been in worlds where Keiichi never transfered (the whole scene where she talks to Keiichi's dad is actually an event she always made sure to do because she realized her talking to the father ensured that keiichi would always move to Hinamizawa... this is explained in the game). |

| I love the build up. nuff said |
 |
| That Satoko laugh is creepy in a beatiful way :S And something i had thought about oishi's character, in the first season in one arc he appeared to be a gentle and good man and in another quite the arrogant one. I thought it was a flaw by the higurashi team to change his characters suddenly like that, but it seems he is a good guy , and becomes merciless against scum etc. Oishi ftw! |
Adramelech said: Because she would obviously believe her....Why doesn't Rika go talk to Oryou? |
BlueYoshi said: I think just about everyone has been united now. I'm also relieved that Shion made an appearance. I was starting to think they forgot about her. This. |
| Finally everything falls into place, I can´t wait to imagine how it will play out! |
 |
| There is one issue with pretending that Rika is dead: won't they apply the emergency plan ANYWAY? They will think that they have less than 48 hours to wipe out the whole village before chaos breaks out so they will happily (try to) do that without realizing that it's not necessary. |
| What's the point of all this? // There's no point. I'm doing it because I can. That's all there is to it. // What will be left behind after this? // Nothing at all. She'll die and I'll burn out. The end. That's all. (Requiem for the Phantom) |
| Takano has NO idea that everyone knows! As with village people not hating Satoko anymore... my guess is that because everyone came around in the previous time loop now they kind of remember that and "don't want to see a child suffer". Ever since the first arc everyone has been growing as a person and getting their sh*t together (even Ooishi came around) to the point of problems slowly fixing themselves... leading to a hopefully good ending this time :) I hope everyone survives this! Rika deserves a happy future with her friends! |
| I was wondering where Shion was. |
   |
| Everything's coming up Rika! |
 |
| well, everything seems to be setup against takano. lets see what happens 5/10 |
| Great episode. Looks like they're all ganging up to go against Takanori and her plan. |
| Just love Satoko's mischievous laughter. And it's really nice to see, how everyone has grown, including Oryou and other villagers. But that appearance of Shion was too short, she should get more screentime! |
| But why episode title is "trap"? |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Great build up episode. Rika continues to gather all the people necessary to take down Takano! More sexy Shion is good. ♥ Whenever Satoko laughs, I feel like slugging that bitch. Higurashi is getting me hyped for the final battle! 4/5 |

| Holy crap Grandma!!! Seems like everyone has finally woken up, but again bring back Shion! |
 |
| I really don't like that Shion doesn't seem to be a part of the group in this world. Its the final damn world, the final fight for them, she SHOULD be a part of that. Didn't they even say in the last world that they would need EVERYONE fighting together to beat Takano?? I'm pretty sure Shion was with them at the time, so that INCLUDES her. She better be a part of the main group before this ends, or I'm gonna be seriously disappointed. |
 |
| Stuff is haaaaappeninggg |
 |
| everyone who used to have different views or disagreements are becoming enlightened, looking forward to whats to come |
| Man, I just love Satoko's laugh. I really like the job the VA did for Satoko's voice |
 |
| Everyone prepare to fight Takano. |
| Now this is awesome! Everyone is fighting their part :) but will it be enough to defeat Takano-san's will and resolve? |
 |
Etceteral said: Leon-Gun said: Just like everybody learned from their past worlds the village did as well. In particular she seems to innately remember Keiichi facing up to her and rallying the town in defense of Satoko which is probably why she mentions they can't hang on to curses and the war; the exact thing Keiichi fought to make her understand in the previous world. Interestingly, that raises the question of how much Takano has also been affected by the loops. Perhaps some of the angst and determination we're seeing in this arc is a subtle result of the ineffable after-effects of what she's seen as well... I thought Takano is not affected because she survives the emergency protocol every time? |
|
| Omg so much progress was made, very soon Takano will be defeated. |
 |
| That's actually an interesting plan, faking the death of Rika. Did not expect that, will be interesting to see Miyo's reaction. They united the whole village, I doubt anyone can stop them now haha. |
| Rika-chan meeting Akasaka-san again just wholesome 😊 Everyone prepare the planning for upcoming battle... Wow it was Shion right there... I'm almost forgot about her.. Oishi-san and his fellow police is also ready!!! I am hyped 🔥 |
 |
| I can assume that its fine and good on Shion's side too, continuing how great everyone respond to Takano Miyo's conspiracy, even with the whole villager too! Even the local police too, thanks to Oishi-san! Lol. This is such a relieved and i am proud with their plan (Satoko, and Keiichi) to fake Rika's death in the day of Matsuribayashi, then how they handle the strategy to laid some traps. They had some confidence and more determination now, even peoples seemed very trusted with Hanyuu and Rika's explanations. It must be good to see Miyo's reactions over their plan, looked at that preview! Now, now, what should you do Miyo? Could you break their action? Or could those plan end up good without any sacrifices needed? Oh well, ngl, i am pretty entertain with these development. So, yeah, lets see the next! Also, i can't help but laughed when the after credit scene discussed oyashiro-sama.com sites, but ended up explaining the 'adult' website xD. Look at Hanyuu and dark Rika response. Their VA was so relaxing me >°<. |

| Fantastic episode, I am loving the build up to this arc. Everything that has happened in all those worlds is important. Oh yeah, it's all coming together. Always love the Rika and Hanyuu previews, they're always hilarious. Anyway, I am hyped for what's to come. |
 |
| 4 episodes to go. I was wondering how they would conclude the series with a couple of episodes left. It seems like it will manage and won't be rushed. |
