| Oh Higurashi, keep going you'll love it. |
   |
| Actually I have no clue, what's the reason behind all of the murders, I think it really is supernatural and Oyashiro-samas curse. And for being so smart and gifted, Keiichi is so goddamn stupid... |
| Another crazy episode... |
| Hory shet! She knows! X_X |
 |
| I'm only one seeing parts which are puzzling everything into one story? |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| OHHHH FUCKING SHIT! TAKANO KNOWS!!! I wonder if she just knew he murdered a guy because he was dumb enough to bring a shovel home with him on a rainy day or maybe it has something to do with Oyashiro's curse...3spooky5me I don't understand why Keiichi could murder that guy and not feel any conflicting emotions while he brutally beat that guy to death. Maybe it was Oyashiro playing with his emotions... Takano is so creepy yet so sexy. That murder scene holy shit I got some serious chills... My favorite episode so far! ABSOLUTELY SAVAGE! 5/5 |
| Kept thinking something was going to go wrong... Fortunately it didn't, but that bike will definitely be his downfall. I reckon Takano buried Tomitake after killing him in the hole that Keiichi had previously dug. But he could also be what was in her car's boot. |
  Again lol, I love this cap :O |
willag said: I agree. Except keichii doesnt need to go to jail if the police arrest the uncle in the first place. It upsets me when people get this mob like mentality and just agree with each other about KILLING someone. Thats not your place, you have no right. Hes a bad man and he should be punished legally.Addendum: Okay, unlike most people on here, I DON'T agree with what Keichii did. I'm not saying the uncle, bastard that he is, didn't deserve being punished, but I dislike it when people take matters into their own hands and feel that they should play the part of judge and executioner. "You're worthless so you die." I'm sympathetic to the plight, but I normally don't agree with it. Or maybe I just don't like Keichii for always being such a stupid idiot (for as much as a "genius" that kid is, he sure doesn't use his brain). I want to see the uncle's ass hauled off to jail. And Keichii's too. Even though the cop pissed me off in the episode, I was hoping the body would be found so that Keichii would go to jail. And am I the only one getting creepy vibes from the Coach as well? Thanking Keichii for killing the uncle? Saying he wanted to marry Satoko in the first episode? That he loves her and wants to help her but won't do anything about it (he won't adopt her, which I'm assuming he's hesitant on pursuing because he really does want to marry her; not reporting the abuse, which I'm assuming he doesn't because he doesn't want her to be angry at him for going against her wishes). For some reason, he just screams pedo to me. How come NO ONE is mentioning the Coach/Director/nurse guy?? I mean I understand an older teen 17, 18, 19 maybe having a crush on a 14, 15year old... but he's a grown man no? like 21+ that makes me very uncomfortable because she looks 12, or 13yrs old. One minute he wants the marry her, then he says oh I want to adopt her and have her clean my house.Thats weird if you are old enough to essential adopt her in a father figure type way, you are too old. How would those bed time stories go? like what a twisted view. |

Please add something new to the Thread. If you are just going to agree with everyone else, and not add anything significant, Please do NOT re-post/re-word/repeat what someone else has said. I hate reading 9pgs of parrots and copycats. #BEORIGINAL  |
Derpyderp said: I know that the sroty arcs aren't in chronological order, but are the individual episodes in the arc in order or not? Because Takano already knew Keiiichi in episode 10. And she said: We met a few times on the road''. So is that the scene where Keiichi is picked up by Takano after he buried that corpse? TRUE, And Someone on this Thread mentioned a singular story emerging between all these arcs I wish they'd share what clues they have seen. I am more so seeing back stories... |

| Keiichi is the worse criminal I've seen. |
 |
| keiichi's pretty dumb for a genius... didn't even know where the police station was smh |
 |
| Yay, crazy blonde chick is getting more screen time this arc :D. So her trunk is full and she already has a bike in the back of her car, pretty suspicious. I wonder if Keiichi is gonna be the one responsible for her death this time around. Keiichi has to be the worst murderer Ive ever seen though. Seriously all that crap about the perfect crime....and that was his plan lmao? Also does anyone else find it strange that they never show the mothers face? Its kind of creepy to be honest. |

| Damn, Keiichi. Takano has always seemed kind of off to me, but she was just plain creepy in this episode. Her eyes and the way she talks just scream "danger" to me. |
| Is Keiichi really a genius? It seems like he's not. lol Or maybe it has something to do with his transfer to the village, like he suddenly went stupid. I feel like somethings up with Takano's full trunk. I hope that it becomes a key in the story later on. |

| This MC is so incredibly stupid... Really really stupid. And you're telling me that this fool was considered genius back in his previous school?? looololololoool was this motherf*cker actually walking by the side of the road, with a bike on one hand and a shovel on the other, with his clothes all dirty with mud, on a rainy day, (...) AFTER burying someone??!! C'MOON Keichii.... You don't have to try THAT hard to be caught... Treasure hunting my ass... I hope he doesn't get away with it. So much BULLSH*T going on... jeez |

| This episode is a bit weak. They went into significant detail about this supposed brainiac and the amount of fk ups in this botched job is over 9000! 1) Asking mion to take satoko after already asking her to kill satoko's uncle. 2) Worst excuse for asking Mion to take Satoko, I would've at least said the recent violent alteration had made things weird. EVEN AFTER MION IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED KEI'S ACTIONS AND PROVEN OBSERVABLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE CASE OF SATOSHI. 3) Asking her mother about the perfect crime instead of doing your own damn investigation, even doing it at home, online is preferrable. The first thing detective Oishi will ask her mother (probably the first to be asked) is what conversation did you have in the few days before Satoshi's uncle went missing and anything weird. 4) Walking around the main road with a shovel. Not suspicious at all genius in a horribly rainy day and covered in mud. In this day and age, the only acceptable reason for the average citizen to be hauling around a shovel is on their own damn property, dutifully working on their garden most likely. 5) The grave is literally 10 METRES AWAY FROM THE ROAD. You know those dead bodies you find years after an investigation hit a dead end? They were kilometres deep into the forest and only an observant hiker found nuances on the ground or the body had started to stick out for whatever reason. 6) It can't be helped, but at least some attempt at an alibi would be nice. Taking a long time alone in finishing the job doesn't ring any alarm bells on a festive day in a small village? It should be a quick job so that people can vouch for your presence and sneaking out at night to clean up the mess. Not ON A FKIN' FESTIVAL DAY, WHERE YOUR LACK OF PRESENCE IS IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE AMONGST A GROUP OF TIGHT NIT FRIENDS. Johan laughs at your attempts Kei-chan. |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Keichi. You are gonna die again, do you? :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
Title drop. The end. Keiichi did a NICE killing of the uncle. But yeah, I knew something was up with that horny woman. I didn't believe Keiichi would actually carry a shovel. That hole getting filled really made me know that something was up. Seems like I was right on the parallel universe stuff. The cycle in the back is Keiichi's cycle from the previous timeline, and that horny woman is probably Higurashi's equivalent of the Doctor from Doctor Who. I think that the horny woman is actually Satoshi's mom. Both are blonde. Doesn't it make sense? And in the previous timeline, she never met Satako, right? Higurashi+Keiichi getting laid=School Days+mystery. |

 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I bet there was a damn corpse in the trunk of the car as well. Maybe of the cameraman. Keiichi may be smart but he's not smart enough. He screwed up too much, he even left the bicycle near the crime scene. Also he's lucky that it started to rain so the blood would get washed away. I mean what was his plan to hide the blood? Seriously who the hell thinks beating a person to death with a bat would be the perfect crime? Also lmao Keiichi's mother seems like an expert in murder. He's already a murderer so he might just decide to kill that lady, steal her car and run away. Maybe they'll team up or something, who knows. My body is not ready for the next episode, Keiichi is gonna die again isn't he. |
<Insert clever quote> |
| Now I understand Keiichi's behavior better because I know his traumas. I have the theory that Satoshi may be some kind of Keiichi from another timeline or something like that. I'm confused @__@ |
 |
| the uncle well deserved this, too bad keiichi got caught somehow |
 |
| Why does Keiichi needs to think about killing someone when he can do something different to have that uncle imprisoned or what? Like framing him up? Anyway, Keiichi acts really suspiciously so I would not be surprised if people will find out. Aside from that he should have thrown out the shovel too. |

| Wasn't he supposed to be super duper smart? Throw the shovel away in the first place and think of an excuse later on, man. Pretty tense episode, nonetheless. Having serious doubts over this clinic lady. Mion in disguise? Would certainly add up to Arc 2's finale but then for what motive? Besides, she's been a little too tame this arc so there's definitely something wrong there, I reckon. |

| For a supposed genius, Keiichi sure left a lot of holes in his supposedly perfect plan. There's gonna be fingerprints all over that crime scene, and he spent days beforehand acting shifty as all hell. And seriously, he didn't even think to come up with a cover story for why he was walking home in the rain without an umbrella, covered in mud, with a shovel in hand? |
 |
| This is an fking family, lol. |
| of course Takano-san would know. After all, she's already dead |
 |
| Lol. Kei is half dumb. Smh |
 |
| wow I never expected Keiichi to become a killer, even if that guy deserved it. Seems like Miyo Takano knows a bit too much... |
 |
| This show is quite amusing though the story is kinda forced on me. that woman gives me the creeps everytime I see her. |
| Keiichi actually killed someone. :o For a genius, he's quite an idiot tho. |
 |
| So... Keiichi became a murdere just like this. His stupidity turned into evilness apparently, what a stupid plan. And he even told Mion beforehand, so now she knows it was him and Takano-san does as well. I'm actually most interested in Takano-san, she's very suspicious since the first moment she appeard in this show. |
| Keiichi is smart?Always had a feeling he is below average at best. Good at academics is not the same as smart you know.And he doesn't seem to be good at anything , chaotic and mentally unstable. Miyo knows everything and predicted to met him so she even placed another bike in her car to prevent him from transporting his own and leaving no clues leading to Keiichi being a murderer?Genius. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Keiichi is really bad at lying , btw. Telling Mion everything means she will soon understand what happened , but she may not tell the police that it's Kei , because Mi has a crush on him. Seriously , MC is so bad at lying that he almost failed convincing Satoko's uncle to go to police station. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Keiichi was bullied in the past, huh? That explains why he cares so much about his new friends. I might seem like a psychopath, but I'm kinda glad that Keiichi killed Satoko's uncle. |
| Oh boy Baseball Bat and shit happened... Wow one thing I'm really appreciate is the VA really doing fantastic job 👍 |
 |
DeathfireD said: lol wow so we have a girl that's crazy (Rena), we have an ogre girl that has split personality's (Mion), and we have Keiichi who just wants to protect his friends anyway possible. What next? A miko (Rika) that summons spirits to kill people XD? From the way things are going I don't even think there is "One" true mastermind behind the killings. It all just seems random and spur of the moment. Oh my god, maybe your theory was right, it's kinda makes sense the way they told the story |
|
DonKangolJones said: Keiichi is a terrible liar, but I guess it doesn't matter when everyone knows what you're going to do anyway. <img src="http://img.mobypicture.com/28408e1b5b4e2f9d13e6929a8196f2e1_new_medium.jpg" border="0" /> edit: Now that I think about it, what was Takano doing out there? Did she fill in the hole he left?! O_o Oh wtf, i just got goosebumps... Holy shit she could killed someone and fill that hole... That's why Keiichi lost the hole... Oh boy |
|
| My satisfaction levels sky-rocketed when he killed the uncle! This arc doesn't seem like it's leading up to Keiichi's death. Takano-san doesn't seem like she will report Keiichi. |
| --AbiSa-- |
| Holy shit! This ep had me completely shook. Can't remember the last time I felt like that watching an anime. Also, that title drop was fucking amazing! Gave me chills. |
 |
| This is the most unexpected shit i've ever felt. So, Satoko felt the same experience where Satoshi lost his appearance after that pat head event, he was missing, and the same feeling made her dizzy and went insane. The reason of Satoshi? Killing people. But, why he got missing? Killing people out of order made the curse applied to him, and created another circle of the devilish. Damn, Keiichi, he was a murderer! That Takano too! Holy shit, what a twist. Instead of a victim he was supposed to be the main villain and thread, without he realized, he just became one of the people that dissappeared too xD. At least Keiichi had more guts here than before and decided the decision faster than i thought, respected, loli need to be protected! Even if his path just led him into a hell beyond the abyss, its really understandable. He already been cursed. So, yeah, the mystery elements must remain, together with that blonde hair woman that always appeared, 4th wall broke the borderline, and told the different perspective of every arcs. Was she Oyashiro-sama? Should i trusted that shit? Oh man, its still blurry and far away from the truth. Left aside a confusion. Lets see the last episode, then .... |

| Keiichi really done whacked the uncle in a single episode, it is what it is. Though he really is a terrible liar though. Damn, so that's why Keiichi transferred to Hinamizawa. He was being bullied there, the club is probably Keiichi's first real friends. Explains why he would go so far for them... when they're not going crazy. Takano knows!? She always has been sus but, her sus levels is at it's highest right now. Trunk is full huh? I bet it's a body inside there or I am tripping. Anyway this arc has been really good so far, and there's 2 more episodes for this arc rather than the usual 4, let's go. |
 |
| For trying to attempt "the perfect crime" Keiichi sure failed miserably. 1. Had to dragged the body from one location to another, cause the uncle ran during the initial attack. 2. Dumped the scooter in a swamp where it might be found, also might have his fingerprints. 3. Needed to retrieve a shove, might have left footprints. 4. Buried the Uncle's body next to a road. 5. Was witnessed by Takano. 6. Left his bike. Also Takano mentioned her trunk was full, for irony I bet it was Satoko in her trunk. Which could be a possibility since I suspected she was possessed in the previous episode. Though it might have just been Tomitake again. Also just a crock pot theory based on hints, I'm wondering if Satoshi was just as bad the Uncle. There was hints like Satoko's reaction last episode. Keiichi finds out Satoshi killed his aunt but here the thing, we know nothing about said Aunt. For all we know she could have been the one protecting Satoko from both the uncle and Satoshi. |
