Damn the last arc kind of ended abruptly but this episode was awesome to see. It's cool we finally get to see Satoshi this time around, and also more of Mion and Shion. It seems Shion has a really nasty side to her as well, which I didn't really suspect at all based off what I saw from the previous chapters.

Satoshi!!!!! I gasped when he appeared lol.

Fuck it now I’m confused & thinking if it were really Mion in previous arcs or actually Shion. Great mindfuck of an episode. Also Keiichi’s absence is most definitely felt. Nice little break of not seeing him constantly driven to wit’s end lololll

Shion flipped tf off :O Gotta say I felt sorry for Satoko, she's not only being abused by her family but now Shion was violent towards her too. However I do think she relies way too much on her big bro Satoshi, it's obvious this infantile codependency drains him but she always cries out for him when shes in trouble instead of facing her problems head on by herself. Then again, after all the abuse she's been through calling for the one person you find reliable in your life is not unreasonable. It's just a shitty situation overall, both for Satoshi and Satoko.

Recently I've returned to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni like 1.5 years after starting it and never got past episode 15 up to today. Now, when Satoshi was introtuced, the tragedy of Hojo family appears before the viewer in all its gruesome glory. Satoko is even more vulnerable now and her brother is in constant state of fatigue and hatred which is a very dangerous blend.

Shion is completely out of place with her undesirable appearance near Hinamizawa and when she accidentally met Satoshi her own problems inside the family layered on the feeling of brotherly love and now she's obsessed with the idea of freeing Satoshi from his own family hell. Poor Satoko was assaulted and it was unacceptable by any means. Looks like Shion will go on a killing spree in this arc and Satoshi still won't be in relationship with her...

Ahh shi here we go again. Surprisingly it took only two episode this time. Let's go a new route. I think we won't see keichi this time too. And damn shion is such a good girl, never thought she will act like bitch there. She need to understand the world more.

That one dude had a Swastika haircut πŸ’€

Shion had been wearing Mion's disguise for quite a while huh? She had been doing this before Keiichi even came to this village.

Holy shit man, what Shion did was brutal. I understand how she's feeling but hurting a small kid is morally just wrong and won't even solve anything in this situation.

Don't tell me that she's gonna murder Satoko and the aunt.

FINALLY!!!!!

i've never written a post about my opinion before but THANK GOD I decided on this series, on this episode; it was the first episode i watched in dub. Shion's voice actor is pretty good, the lead detective man's voice is better. i understand the reasoning for the Japanese original voicing, because he's a cop and youre meant to hate him because he sort of sucks anyways, i REALLY like the (sometimes forced) gruffer english voice acting c: . THE SERIES ACTUALLY GETS NUTS HERE BECAUSE OF THE EMOTIONAL TENSION. Shino meets and instantly loves Satoshi after he stood up for her when she was getting bullied by thugs, finds out that both him and his sister are getting bullied by their aunt and uncle at home; THEN angry-rage tunnel visions on satoko AN 11 YEAR OLD WHO IS GETTING ABUSED, TELLS HER SHES A WIMP AND SHOULD CROWL IN A HOLE AND unalive herself IF SHE HATES BEING ALIVE SO MUCH! W T F ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! amazing turn of events that was totally rational!! jk. the whole series CHANGED for me, not only was the flop wah wah MC Keiichi not there but that scene where Shion blew up THAT HARD was utter whiplash. although i did switch it to dub to my first language, the voice acting in english reallly hit the nail on the head with the hammer, in the good way. this episode changed my original score 6 to an 8!!! i will cry if i see that shity main char5acter again i SWEAR TO GOD.

remember this is MY opinon :] no hate to others ♥
