| poor Satako!!! and wow Satoshi was cute with that evil grin!!! but i wonder what he did to cause it. . . and Satako really is strong!!! she pushed him all the way across the room!!! AMAZING!!! lol i thought Coach was her uncle for a second cuz they got out of the car together... *thank goodness he wasnt!!!* all in all great epi i love learning about Satako!!! |
 |
| so she barfed on the floor and wend semi berserk well im started to know the characters a little bit more |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| When Satoko flipped I got really freaked out. I mean she pushed Keiichi across the room!! Ugh more mysteries |
| Oishi is definitely different in this arc compared to the previous two. Satako must be really strong to push Keiichi across the classroom like that. Also, Takano seemed really weird again when she was talking about Wataganushi. |
 |
| What's up with Ooshi in this arc? He's totally different to the previous arcs! Still, Rena had some character turns as well, so it's not really that unexpected... Yep, suspicions of Satoshi are now most definitely raised. Up till now he's been described as almost the 'perfect brother who disappered too young', but, as is pretty much always the case with Higurashi, is not all that he seems. Can't wait to see how this one plays out :-D |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| Hmm, what an episode! First off, my god, Satoko's really got it rough this arc around! Dx Not just the abuse, but we really see in this storyline and episode just how much of an impact her missing "nii nii" has on her. =T Refusing help for abuse just to become stronger, and for her brother at that... Gosh, hold old is she anyway? Poor kid... And those vacant eyes she had... Secondly... Is it just me, or does Oishi have a personality for every story arc? First storyline he was a kind and helpful officer trying to keep Keiichi alive. Second time he was kind of weird and asked a lot of questions, creepily so, and didn't manage to keep Keiichi alive... again. Now he's just downright frightening. Dx Like a corrupt cop or something. The way he roughed up Keiichi made me think of a mobster or something. Dx Third... I think Takano remembers Keiichi, from the last two... arcs. Somehow. When she said "You don't remember me still" or whatever, I thought right off the bat that she was referring to the last two times they had met for the first time. It was a weird feeling. She kinda creeps me out in general though. Lots more thoughts but I don't want to keep rambling... Onto the next portion of this chapter. |

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| On each episode I'm getting more and more suspicious of that police officer |: What the heck happened to Sakoto at the end?? |
| Lol wth was up with that face he randomly made at Rena for like 2 seconds |

| like others have said before me, Satoko's reaction to Keiichi alludes to some kind of abuse. I think it might have even stirred some repressed memories as well. I'm curious to hear more of Satoko's backstory. It looks like everyone holds some kind of dark past. |

| Ugh, I just feel so bad for everyone in this show, subjected to a horrible fate. It's none of their faults and yet they're so disturbed by everything. More than being scary, this show is so full of despair and sadness. Blaah. So gotta watch a school romance after this XD And Ooishi turned into such a meanie this arc >:( |

patient_senses said: 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 thinking something very similar to this too. In the second arc, they said she was immolated 24 hours before they saw her at the shrine, which is already very suspicious. She always knows whats up with everything, but at this point all I can do is speculate. Also, when Satako snapped, she started saying "I'm sorry" nonstop, just like Rena did in the first arc, so there is definitely a connection. Also, i think I remember somebody saying "I'm sorry" in the second arc too, but they didn't repeat it IIRC. |

atrophaneurae said: Yep!aw, poor Satoko-chan~ but this anime is so weird , I assume there's no linear timeline to explain how the storyline unfolds, but each chapter is supposed to reveal clues to the annual Hinamizawa murders? also, I will never get used to the 'scary' side of each of the girls , the way their faces contort & their eyes widen.. this is probably the part of the show that freaks me out the most, moreso than all the deaths. o_o |
 |
| Satoko scared me. I don't understand Oishi this episode. Is it me or Takano seems to like.. "remember" Keiichi from previous stories? I might just imagine it though. |
| This was so sad..I feel pity for Satoko.. However I noticed something..Might be unrelated but WTH At the first few eps (1,2,3 or 4) Rena was out in the rain telling Keichii sorry for like many times And Satoko did the same.. Could it be that she is the killer this time?? |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| That sucks. She's abused, then denies it. On the other note, she has super strength that threw Keichii to the other side of the room. I wonder what we'll see next? |
| As usual, I am totally creeped out and have no idea whats going to in this show. Well thats Higurashi for you :p |
 |
| Poor Satoko-chan.. I wonder why she was afraid at the end? |
| So Oishi is one of the bad guys now? The madness of this show, don´t get me wrong I love it! However, I did hate Keichi and his "kill her uncle!!!" bull, really juvenile and stupid. I´m still trying to guess who will be the bad guy here. |
 |
| Ooishi seems to be the bad guy. Tomitake and Takano appear again, but there's still something weird about Takano. I feel sorry for Satoko, but that push was very strong. I guess she's the one for this arc because she kept apologizing in the end. And we all remember how Rena apologized in the first arc. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
Cesar-sama said: I always laugh at the part where Satoko screams and pushes Keiichi. It's ridiculous! XD And it's so funny to read everyone's comment! XD I wish I could forget everything about Higurashi and watch it all over again... sigh... -_- Same here :( |
| And Ooishi shows his true colors. I'm guessing all this "abuse" story isn't quite what it seems... Nice Boat two episodes away? |
| Oishi was pissong me off before but now i wish he was the one getting killed. And it looks like Satoshi was abusing Satoko as well...just lovely. |
 |
| God, that last scene was disturbing. I wonder what happened. Did she really had a good relationship with her brother? Maybe he was abusing her too. Also, when she say that she want to deal with problem herself, I wonder if it's not her the killer this time. Mion seemed sincere when she said that they weren't the cause of the murder. Sakoto also have a mobile for all the murder before, if like I said, her relationship with her brother wasn't as happy as she try to make believe. I hope her oncle is the next victim, I hate child abuse. Oishi was fucking weird in that episode. The more the story, the less I like him. |

| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| sakoto's uncle needs to get cursed already |
| Keiichi really has a thing for touching little girls. |
| ^ Lmao. Maebara Keiichi is amazing, this guy can get worse every arc, he was just so unlikable in this episode. I wonder why did Keiichi give Oiishi the mean look when he just met him for the first time? This guy cannot control his own feelings too, and I laughed every time he apologized. Do you know what people need to apologize for? It is not just a figure of speech, you yourself need to change if you think you're doing the wrong thing. I laughed at how pathetic he was too when he got pushed back by a little kid like Satoko, now that I mention it, Satoko sure has enormous physical strength, she could hit a homerun before, right? That's crazy. Edit: Satoko's voice acting was pretty bad, huh? TL;DR Keiichi sucks. |

| I never liked Oiishi, so this episode reinforces my judge about him. I always thought that Keiichi sometimes needs to take some steps back, but in this episode was so persistent. If you see that she had a panic attack because of you touching her, why do you continue to act like it? And it seems that Satoshi was abusing her too. So, in the first arc we saw that Satoshi was acting weird at a certain point, like someone was after him, so he felt his life in danger. Could it be because Satoko's friend were about to kill him precisely because they knew he was abusing her? Maybe they killed him faking his death as the curse of Oyamashiro, while making Satoko believe that he just ran away. But Rena? She was so serious about him being murdered by the curse, so maybe she weren't involved in his assassination, so that the suspects could be Rika and Mion, and maybe even Shion, but my strong suspects are for the Coach. He is so taken by her, so maybe he knew all of this and slaughtered Satoshi, covered by Mion's family.. I don't know, this show is mindfucking. |

| Damn... Satako has it pretty bad. Looks like keichii triggered something connected to abuse , even though what she seemed to see was her brother that she adored? Hmmm |

Hermit_Chuck said: cwblackbeard said: She was probably even raped by her brother as well. This show loves having scenes where they tend to really get messed up. What? It wasn't sexual abuse was it? I think (based by her reaction) it was :| |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
 Good police 2 Bad police 1 :'v |
| I hope the uncle dies the most gruesome death. Was her brother also abusing her? |
 |
| So I'm assuming satoshi abused her too? And damn is satoko strong xD |
 |
| Is it me or is Ooishi slowly becoming more of a bad guy with each arc? First arc = good cop, second arc = neutral cop, third arc = bad cop. His personality seems to be gradually changing with each reset. Also Satoko throwing Keiichi around like that was ridiculous, this kid needs to start lifting weights or something lmao. |

| I'm confused why she was happy he was acting like her brother before, and then she freaked out at the end? Like, what? Guess I'll have to keep watching to find out. The way the eyes widen and faces contort is so creepy |
| DANG. That little girl can sure throw a punch. |
