| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Don't mess with Satoko when she has a fire extingushier LOL. That first half of the episode cracked me up. Saotoko and Keiichi got to spend some time together that seemed meaningful for both of them. I see she's such a prankster when it comes to pranks. A very lighthearted episode with a lot of comedy with everyone having fun. That cliffhanger ending is kinda chilling though. |
 |
| looks like this will be Satoko arc, as usual it's still peaceful like playing baseball and learning to cook. Keiichi was surprised when he heard that Satoko had an older brother but it was really not as expected. Nii-Nii's existence is still hard to understand. Rena's advice really makes Keiichi better, Rena and Mion are really weird. Somehow this Oji-san is so annoying. Oyashiro-sama please, Noooo...  |
| Finally they mentioned Satoshi now! Looks like this episode is "almost" the same as the Deen Adaptation. This will be most likely the last Answer arc so I'll expect more crazier things, especially things are now different from this sequel. |
 |
| Haven't finished watching yet- But in regards to the broccoli and cauliflower thing at the beginning; |
| Nice slice of life Satoko focused episode for the most part. We got some hints that something happened to Satoko’s older brother Satoshi and that people in the village don’t want to talk about it based on Rena and Mion’s reaction. Pretty chill set up for the new arc after last week’s nonstop action. Excited for next week. |
 |
| funimation translating Nii-nii as "big brudder" is fucking killing me holy shit WHY?? was this ever used before??? seems like a straightforward adaptation of the original arc. wonder how it'll be different |
| Tataridamashi-hen...another arc full of questions, just like the starting arcs. Satoko's the MC of this arc, though I'd want to know her intentions THIS soon a.k.a. "the calm of the storm". Meanwhile, the slice-of-life is back with more cooking, because Keiichi doesn't want to lose out to the prankster, and attempted it 10 times worse. Admit it Keiichi, you're no match for Satoko. It feels weird with lesser screentime of Mion and Rena, but yet at the same time, feels right at home with Satoko and Rika. Maybe that's just me, with the incoming horror vibes still aways away showcasing each character's hidden secrets. Coach Irie and Shion sure likes to play tag around with Satoko however, wishing those moments would last forever...? The name catcher of the episode: Satoshi...this name rings a lot of bells. More than just Satoko's "Big Nii-Nii", OG watchers will know what's up. (And forget about @ me for explanations, just the POV of an anime-only). Mion (and especially Rena) sure know what's up, but of course, this dark secret isn't gonna be an easy reveal. Here comes Oyashiro-sama's Curse once again! This Uncle Teppei...he's gonna be a catalyst to Satoko's wrath. I already hate him. Plus the ED scene of Satoko hugging a bear with the horrible Uncle, now that's a reveal that finally made sense a.k.a have an ATTENTION TO DETAIL! |
 |
| Very similar to Deen's Tatarigoroshi-hen part 1. Just without Rena's explanation (freaking out) about Oyashiro's curse... |
 |
| Satoshi arc is starting, it was one of my favourite arcs. Looking forward to more episodes. |
 |
| Ohhh yeah just hearing the name Satoshi in Higurashi makes me nostalgic, it's going to be very interesting soon, I can't wait to see the next episode |
 |
Shion with Satoko was so cute  |

| Good episode with a light and fluffy start. |
LeaveSatokoAlone said: As someone who read the visual novel, the scene with Shion makes me extremely happy. |
|
| Okay after almost 2 months, we got some true Satoko screentime! Its her arc this time and just like at the start, its cheery and fun. I love seeing Satoko smile, she's actually pretty funny and caring as a best friend. She cooking for Keiichi was absolutely adorable, easily a girl worth proposing for. Although really...her laugh gets old really fast and Passione made a mistake for adding that FANG, she is not Uzaki idiots. Anyways, we got a nice Satoko home run. And with the barbecue party held after their win, we got to meet Coach (Irie) and he too got a crush on Satoko. But detailing it as being his maid and wanting to be called "Master" is...pretty icky man. And I was also weirded out by the fact that Keiichi is flushed by Satoko, but considering last arc he got some moments with Shion, I expect the same thing too. And it looks like Rena is back being the villain here. Like after being Keiichi's best girl last episode, she's back to being a killer again, I guess. It was a nice episode and-HOLY HELL THAT ENDING. EWW, GET THAT AWAY--ohh...it never went away. Well we have Uncle Teppei...and he's not just ugly he's a fucking BASTARD. I already saw it from the ED art, but I wasn't expecting this to happen. Poor Satoko, you just received your spotlight and this is what actually happens backstage. Well our boi Keiichi and Coach ain't allowing this! Arc 3, Satoko, it's going to be good. Last thing to add, this is actually the last arc before When They Cry reach the end of the year. |

| Similar to the VN actually. I don't think the shopping scene was in the VN, and they made Keiichi useless here in the anime, while he was the winning factor in the VN/OG anime. The biggest sin in this episode was translating "nii-nii". WTF Funimation?! |

The match was not even the OG right? they placed it in the original arc in Kai, so at least it was in the right place in this anime lol, but they had to cut Keiichi and Kameda's cringy conversation. btw the shopping scene was in the VN https://youtu.be/cxUY1JFAAAY?list=PLPlqrKHEmTrlol7-DSEP0EdxOrdEvKTzb&t=187 |
|
| andddddd the satoko arc begins. Fun little episode with the cooking battle at the start and the baseball game. Irie and uncle have been introduced. Irie receives just as creepy of an introduction in this version and uncle is already infuriating! I don't want to see satoko suffer again... |
 |
 Yeah, Keiichi, I felt that one too. Seriously, it says something about how much I love and feel for these characters that I found myself tearing up at various scenes of Keiichi with Satoko.  Best Boy Irie finally makes his appearance in Gou. I love this man.  "You see, Keiichi, Satoko doesn't FUCKING go to places she shouldn't go and doesn't use STUPID-ASS cat metaphors." "...what?" "Nothing-nanodesu. Nipah~" *episode 4 PTSD flashbacks intensifies* FINALLY, Satoshi is mentioned. I guess R07 didn't find a reason to mention him before because: 1. Keiichi doesn't get nearly as paranoid in Onidamashi. His talks with the clinic duo and knowledge about Satoshi don't play a significant role there. 2. The Shion twist in Watadamashi, assuming it's still there, requires Satoshi, so R07 cut down on the redundancy and left his entire thing to Tataridamashi since the answer to Watadamashi will have to come after both anyway. But, well, this is assuming it's Shion. If it's actually Mion, then yeah, it does make sense that Satoshi is never mentioned. Still, having him as a mysterious presence whose mere existence bodes really badly for Keiichi was one of the coolest things in the original's question arcs. I guess we'll have to see how Satoshi's role plays out here. I don't know why, but this is my second favorite episode of the show so far, after episode 4. They're also really making me love Satoko herself, instead of just feeling very sorry for her. Her last scene in Tatarigoroshi is still one of the scenes that makes my heart fucking bleed. |
| Satoko focus this time around...hmmm |
 |
| Nothing new here, except for Shion, she kept her promise after all. Oh, and finally Irie is introduced and Satoshi is mentioned, I was starting to miss them, but they did it in the right time. I was theorycrafting about this before this arc started, it'd have a high chance of happening. But I don't think they want to do anything similar to any previous arc, even a console one. Otherwise they would just adapt the console arcs instead - which would still be nice. |

| Frick Teppei pepeD |
| This is actually much better than Watadamashi arc. Looking forward for this. |
| Everyone's favorite uncle is here...sigh And what do you know...Satoshi does exist afterall. Lets see how this goes. If we are lucky we will see Satoko killing Teppei but I doubt it. rubybestgirl said: Big Shister is even worse....it amazes me that fan translators were doing a better job than people that get paid.funimation translating Nii-nii as "big brudder" is fucking killing me holy shit WHY?? was this ever used before??? seems like a straightforward adaptation of the original arc. wonder how it'll be different |
| Teppei did nothing wrong. |
| I need me some Big Brudders and Shisters |
| That ending... OH NO! That shot in the ED was already giving me bad vibes but I hadn't really paid attention to the part where Satoko is kind of getting undressed in the OP until someone told me last week and... OH NO! I like how the focus changes for each of the girls. The slice of life part was a lot of fun and we learned more about Satoko. Something important is that it was Satoko's parents who fell from the cliff. We had been hearing this part of the supposed Oyashiro curse on all the routes but it feels different now that we know that the victims were Satoko's parents. And this also ties in with the previous route in which Mion mentions that Satoko's family was a victim of this new negative solidarity of the village. There is also that one of the victims of the curse was the wife of the younger brother of the man who fell so, we are talking about the wife of this uncle Teppei who we just met? I know the different timelines have some changes but it's a little weird to see that now Keiichi knows Shion since the beginning when we just met her on the previous route and on the first one she wasn't even mentioned. Another weird thing is the guy who wants to marry Satoko... what! I wonder what the hell is going on with Rena? As soon as Keiichi mentioned Satoko's brother and the curse, her switch flipped. We know from the first timeline that she is tied to Oyashiro in some way and she also mentioned that she was already cursed... Ahhh I want to know more but I guess we'll have to wait xD. |

Man, I have terrible memory if I forgot the shopping scene. It's been like 3 months since I've read Tatarigoroshi. Devil_Slayer said: Teppei did nothing wrong. Are you sure about that? Well... if this is your first time watching Higurashi, then prepare yourself for what is about to happen. |

ssjokg said: SkyLETV said: Excuse me, the what?I hadn't really paid attention to the part where Satoko is kind of getting undressed in the OP until someone told me last week and... OH NO! . There is a shot of a short hair blond girl getting undressed in the OP. Many people assume it's Satoko for some reason lol. The girl in question looks much older than Satoko though. |

The girl in question looks much older than Satoko though. It is either future her or a different, maybe console or even new, character. I just fail to imagine how that shot is relevant to anything regarding Teppei. |

Umm It was always a popular theory back in episode 3 before episode 6 kinda crushed that idea Some images of them still give the creep though. |

What I dont get is how you can she an older girl, even if it is Satoko, undoing a ribbon and assume anything. |
| So the deciving of one of the more heavier arcs had started, can't wait to see what would change. The K1 cooking scene was really awesome lol, and the same can be said for all the slice-of-life part of this episode. Interesting that K1 had 0 to do with them winning the game, so that had changed. Shion was also likely listening to Irie's and Keiichi's conversation, wonder if that would have any impact (tho seeing her going full Big Sister on Satoko, I kinda doubt it). Rena's big rant/crazy talk also didn't happen, which is interesting as I didn't expect this. And Teppei is back... UGH. I hope his arc has a similar resolution to Miotsukushi where |
 |
The broccoli and cauliflower question was always thought to be hints of her being colorblind. I don't think it was confirmed if she has it, but her not knowing the difference between white and green made it safe to assume that. |

It's just a cute and funny thing and many children can't tell the differences between some vegetables so it's not unusual. A weird assumption tbh |
|
| Good thing that Satoko's uncle is back. Now he's gonna be the one who will cook her Bento. |
