| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- i wonder... how many times will the protagonists get killed? XD hmmm... |
| Really, gruesome! But, that's how Higurashi is like. Yet, it's still very good in the storyline. Just watch it whole then everyone of us can understand what's really happening. |
     |
| Wow, to see the most cute character snap like that, there's no hope for Sakoto. :( |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| Awww I feel bad for Satoko T~T But still... she's friggin strong o____o... either that or Keiichi's really really weak... uncool -_- |

| Ah, I was wondering when things were finally gonna get crazy. DarkShines said: Oh and that police officer,Ooishi-san...I didn't seem to mind him,until now. He just..snapped! >_> Yeah really, I never imagined to see him that way. Oh hey, and what's with the first time he patted her head things ending up good and the second time her snapping? |

 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Satoko is really strong, throwing Keiichi across the room like that. I have a feeling that in this arc, Satoko's brother did something to her in the past. Up until now I assumed Ooishi was a genuinely nice guy truly trying to help. Now I'm not so sure. |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| lol falcon push'd |
| It doesn't seem like Sakoto just snapped because Keiichi reminded her of her brother. I kind of got the impression that Sotoshi isn't the perfect brother he was made out to be. That smile he had did't seem too innocent. There's certainly something going on with Takano as well. I completely forgot how they met in the first arc and she already knew who Keiichi was and in this one she says "you still don't remember me?" I think she has something to do with everything thats going on and why the stories are repeated. |
| I was lunching while watching the last bit of the episode :-/ That was something i want to forget about ^-^ Sakoto just snapped right there, i didn't see that one coming ~_~~ |

| Finally! A reality in which Mion is not the main antagonist! Rena in the other hand... >:) mitsukuni07 said: i wonder... how many times will the protagonists get killed? XD hmmm... At least 3 more times in season 1! :3 By the way, satoko's break down didn't surprise me as much as the push she gave Keichi... :P |
| This episode just makes you feel really sorry for Satako. |

At the end when Satako keeps saying "im sorry im sorry im sorry" reminds me of Rina from the 1st story when she stands outside Keichii's house and keeps repeating "im sorry im sorry im sorry". There are lots of references and similarities here and there which might mean something... i guess... haha |
| Satoko kinda freaked me out this episode. |
 |
| ok! ii'm guessing satoshi wasn't the perfect brother... he seemed mean with that smile! and inmediately satoko pushes keichii!! did you saw the body on chapter ahh?? last one?? with all the tortures we saw on past arc where mion killed him with the nails?? the corpse had them all! and i think that corpse was satoshi! |
| Character 360 for Oishi-san :/ What's up with that? I feel sorry for Satoko-chan, but I also feel like she's being really juvenile, and one of the other girls should talk her out of trying to defeat her uncle by just bearing it. I also don't understand why Satoko snapped when Keichii was acting like her brother? A few minutes prior she was praising him as being like her Nii Nii and even said that since she doesn't have her real brother Kei-chan was a good replacement. So what's going on!? :s |
 |
| Another exciting episode. Only two more unitl Keiichi and the photographer die. Mainly because they both died in the last two chapters. Maybe sakoto will die, or her uncle will die. It's just too unpredictable. |
 |
| This episode was just sad i felt really sorry for Satoko -wipes tears- though im also wondering about whether Satoshi is the "great" brother he was made out to be it didn't seem so from the not-so-innocent smile he had during her flashback. |

| Wow... sad ending... and also kind of creepy. |
     |
| I think the reason Satoko pushes Keiichi like that cuz her heart can't take it anymore. She loved her brother and it might be heart-breaking for her to accept Keiichi's care and help especially under her living circumstances......or her brother was just evil as everyone seems to be thinking..... And Keiichi really needs to work out. Little girls aren't supposed to push you across the room Unless Satoko is the demon in this arc....? Like she killed her brother or something and plus the whole throwing up thing had a really Exorcist feel to it XD |

So Keiichi is weak... Very D: True but he somehow managed to get lose and beat them both to death with a baseball bat =P Anyway for such a small girl she's really strong, I mean she pushed him across half them room and that what sounded like an ordinary bitch slap made him fly black 2-3 meters. Though I feel really sorry for her, seems like a allot of bad things have happened in the past. Hope someone who really deserve it dies in this arc, like Satokos uncle -.- |
| It's funny how each next arc picks up and uses various details from previous ones pretending that it is really separate from them. Just what I remember at the moment: (1) In the 1st ep of the current atc, when Keichi first meets Shion—he's not surprised at all, he just says "Oh you must be Shion", while in the last arc there was quite a show about this Mion/Shion stuff. (2) Keichi came to Mion to ask to her to make Satoko's uncle the next target of Oyashiro-sams—this is the most direct reference to the latest arc possible! But still, Mion says it's not like that. Oh I'm itchy to know know how it will turn out, and if I'm right about it! ^_^ |
 |
| freaky haha. this is only a guess, but from the way satoshi reacted to keiichi patting her head like her brother, maybe her brother abused her aswell or even worse? plus the way she kept saying sorry only backs this theory up. lol perhaps i should get a specail code letter to hide my real name too eh? "F" sounds kinda cool haha nano desu~ |
| This is really a special anime... You actually have to think!!! x) |
Sunlone said: Totally.Ooishi is a real asshole in this arc. The last few episodes man. The atmosphere <3 |
 |
| Why is everyone sorry xD I keep hearing "I am sorry" every time Rika seems she is having problem with sounds xD "MI" Satoko She is really cute yellow hair pink eyes green dress and so strong xD |
Wow! When'd Oishi-san turn so mean? But damn! What happened to Satoko, it was like she just falcon punched Keiichi across the room, everything was so well not that long ago. |
 |
| ok why is Ooishi such an asshole this arc? O.o and poor Satoko :(,she'll probably kill keiichi xD |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| I really like Satoko, looks like this arc will be good, since it's a crazy little girl this time :D Oh, and why did the Mion arc end so suddenly? I'm getting sooo confused. Keichii dies in the end of each arc, then... restart! And the first episode started in 1983. I wonder what the time is now? |
 |
| I like it that the cop finally is the bad guy. He seemed somehow fishy in the last two arcs too. And I really start to wonder if the past is the same for each arc, especially regarding satoshi... I think he definitely is the key to unraveling the mystery... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Uh Oh...I have feeling Satoshi may have been abusive as well O_O And Oishi wtf, why does he gotta become an asshole all of a sudden? |
 |
| Actually, laughed at the episode especially when Satoko pushed Keichi. The. Fuck. is she really that strong? Keichi went flying in that episode. Lmao! |
| Poor Satoko ... The policeman sure chaged a lot... Why the hell is Keichii so weak ? And did Satoko threw up because she was scared or is she pregnant ? o_O |
| Poor Satoko-chan... Her story is horrible... T.T But why she pushes Keichi when he reminds her of her brother? And damn, she's pretty strong :D The police man annoyed me a little. I don't think a bad ass character suits him XP |
| Poor Satoko.She is really messed up.It won't be a wonder if she takes a butcher's knife and starts slaughtering everyone.. |
 |
Ha, i think one of the main themes in this anime is noone seems to be who they say or act to be on the outside, much like real life, course unlike real life in higurashi everyone is a psychopathic killer underneath it all. >:D Good point. I think so too.. And even if the arcs are different , somehow there is a connnection between them. |
| Poor Satoko. I wonder why she snapped when Keiichi reminded her of her brother. She seemed happy with him reminding her of him earlier. |
| Lots of incoherences so far. Is it me or does it seem that Oishi and those photographers introduced more than once to Keiichi? Suppose it'll all be clear by the end of it...the only way I could wrap my mind around it would be that some sort of time loop is occuring. Otherwise it's just really clever storytelling. Shit's getting sicker and sicker. Ain't really comfortable thinking what the hell could be happening to Satoko. |
