| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Truth to be revealed! I'm just wondering if you play the game, is the storyline also like this? Come on, it's just so amazing to put it like that by arc to arc and makes you discover things. I feel like just the way I feel when watching Suzumiya Haruhi for the 2nd time in chronological order. Wherein I feel like I've discovered something from something I've already watched. LOL! Just like that. Can't explain it! XD Well, just sugoi! I feel sorry for Rika-chama though. Then a bit confused on how is she murdered and was seen outside in the shrine dead-naked. |
     |
| wow... |

| @^ Would you further explain why wow?! XD Everything about Higurashi is wow, then why wow for you? Or you're just spamming? LOL! |

babykeiji said: Well, just sugoi! I feel sorry for Rika-chama though. Then a bit confused on how is she murdered and was seen outside in the shrine dead-naked. wait a sec.. that is another arc not related to this one, on this one rika committed suicide in front of Shion. And she gets thrown to the well ... as Satoko will too, probably. and on the arc you are talking about Satoko is alive, hmm .. until she trys to kill kei and kei 'wishes' death to all, and they all die from volcanic gas, supposedly. |
| Orz.....wow, at least now we find out why Rika committed suicide, but wow. x.x |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| wow wow wow wow wow wow wow Spam,ne? What puzzles me the most is that Rena is actually a prophet - what happened over at the Sonozakis is exactly what she thought had happened. |
DarkShines said: wow wow wow wow wow wow wow Spam,ne? What puzzles me the most is that Rena is actually a prophet - what happened over at the Sonozakis is exactly what she thought had happened. that's very true:| hmm some arcs are making more sense I still don't get the whole first arc, like why are rena and mion so different there and such:| does that arc has a solution arc as well?:S same with the satoko arc(atleast why everything didn't make sense) like missing body and how the other arc(the doll thingy) came there wah some questions answered but more appear: ( |
| OMG... WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW o_o Shion's pretty messed up... Shion gone kraaaazy... I wish Rika didn't have to die though T__T |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Eww... I had forgotten about the Rika suicide scene... This anime is really good but never fails to sicken me at the gory bits... O_O Not far from the end now.. |
 |
| omfg whats in that needle that makes people commi suicide o0 poor rika-chan... it was messed up blood scene ... shion is a nutcake :O true masterpiece this anime anyway up to the scary ep :o Grtz lsumi |
| Born to live Born to die Born to be, crucified Give our souls and take our pride Bleeding for the harder styles Rising up, from the seed Born to change, history From the streets we unleash hell Feel the power, decibel!! d(^.^)b |

| Wow. This episode was surely insane. I never expected Rika to kill herself and like that..ewww. But I guess it is better than suffering through Shion's insane torture. Seems like everything in this arc should finally come together in the next arc. |
DarkShines said: What puzzles me the most is that Rena is actually a prophet - what happened over at the Sonozakis is exactly what she thought had happened. Exactly the same thing i thought when i saw the soya bottle :p Also: Why didn't she use the gun around her shoulder, or did i miss something? pic in spoiler. |
| ~de Arimasu |
| I was thinking the same thing. I thought I was just seeing things or something, but yeah it looks like a gun to me as well. I guess its not though because I don't see the point of it being there but not being used. |
| Glad I'm not the only one :-/ Anyway, maybe it's just a sign saying "I'm the heir, don't mess with me" :P |
| ~de Arimasu |
| Wow, what an episode, now it's time for what's going to happen to Satoko |
babykeiji said: Well, just sugoi! I feel sorry for Rika-chama though. Then a bit confused on how is she murdered and was seen outside in the shrine dead-naked. That's, I think, another chapter for the "Question" arcs, that hasn't been shown as of this episode. The beginning of episode 5 makes so much sence now! Poor Rika-chan... D: ~Nipah patient_senses said: I was thinking the same thing. I thought I was just seeing things or something, but yeah it looks like a gun to me as well. I guess its not though because I don't see the point of it being there but not being used. Mabey a toy? Some fashion accesory popular at that time? I noticed that thing a long time ago... I thought it was a taser gun... Guess it wasn't a taser though :S Andrew05151 said: Hmmm...anyone notice how Shion was kind of talking to "herself" in the scene where she is alone with the knife in the bedroom? I don't think "Shion" is messed up per se...but she said there was an ogre that awoken inside of her. She doesn't seem to be aware of what the ogre is doing. Remember, she was wondering why Grandpa had disappeared...and claimed that she loved him so much. I don't think she's aware of what she's doing, I think the "Shion" persona has been pushed into backstage by the Ogre persona... Good point, it makes sence too... Anyway, I love Insane Shion. Great anime. The creator of the game sure was a genius. |
| Let me echo the wows. @.@ I wondered about the gun too but I think it would be just too easy and quick to shoot someone. Remember Shion wants them to suffer. Besides maybe she doesn't have any bullets or even know how to use it. I gotta say I was loving the suicide. That was a bit of a shocker. I thought Rika would stab herself in the heart or something and not do what she did. @.@ Yeah, I would have done the same as Rika. I would have killed myself first so as not to be tortured. |
 |
| Wow at Rika, still cute all the way to her suicide. I'm eagerly awaiting the answers to the questions still left unanswered. |
| I think Rika is one of the person who's repeating the time loop with her memories intact. That may explain why she can predict the events but CAN'T PREDICT the gas leak in the Time-killing chapter...it's because she always died BEFORE the gas leak in all story arc, so she doesn't know what happens afterwards.... And she said she's going to "exit" when she suicided...It all makes sense.... Now the question is, who else retained their memories? Takano seems like a candidate...Just like someone said it before, I think she faked her death....Maybe it's a battle between Rika and Takano trapped in a time loop? Who knows.... |

| Piece by piece, everything is starting to make sense. I like seeing the same scenes but with our understanding of what's going on completely changed. |

| The drug in the needle that Rika had is the same drug from the first arc used that killed Mr. Takanawha(can't spell) and when Shion injected Keichii with it. As a result, this caused him to "claw" away at his throat in time getting deep enough and died because of too much blood loss. Rika was well aware of what the drug is capable of and instead of dying slowly she decided to end it quickly. |

| Nothing like a little newspaper to cover a dead body.... Everything becoming a lot more clear after each episode, but damn Shion is crazy. Hopefully they'll explain why Rena was able to figure out how everything was going to happen and I wanna see Shion with Keiichi in the hospital explained too. Gah so good :x |
| Rika kinda redefined her cuteness when she stabbed herself to death. ^^' |
 |
| I love how everything locks together and starts to make sense. On a side note, this is one hell of an arc (even more so if you consider the ones that are related to this one). Higurashi is so addictingly dark. |
| Wow. I mean, wow. I a series full of psychotic lolis, Shion takes the CAKE! I kind of saw the "Rika stabbing herself in the head" moment coming the moment she stopped by for soy sauce, but that didn't make it any less disturbing. In fact, it was probably more discomforting to watch while you KNEW that moment was coming... |
 |
| Ooh and now we know what happened with Rika<3 |
I'd like tossing your salad.-"Yuru"/MMMKD DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM MOTHERFUCKER?-SophieWophie<3 |
| I was appalled by this episode Shion kills old people and children ; ( Its interesting that the way they pull this show off really works so good. |

| i dunno why i feel like that, but i'm comiserating Shion, eventhough she seems out of her mind already, i'm still on her side well, everything is getting clearer, but there is still too much left... damn i'm confused O.o |
| That was awesome! Rena is cute! |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| Rika killing herself is going to be one of my favorite anime scenes of all time. |
| Wow that was amazing. The creepiest part was Shion humming throughout all of it. |
     |
| i can't help but cheer for shino :) i like that they are explaining it because now u FEEL the characters and can see what made them go crazy. it's not like "oh ok they are all just crazy" :P and i'm glad that they started with this arc cuz it was the most confusing one XD |

| Poor Rika-chan, no more nipah ='( Hope Shino dies a truly gruesome death at the very end, crazy bitch. On the bright side things are starting to be allot clearer now and actually make sense, though I'm still curious as of how Keiichis first death in the phone boot connects to all of this, seems like it's a completely unrelated story. |
| Apparently Rika just wasn't cute enough. But nothing says cute like a big ass knife in the face. I also felt bad for Shion, she sure got the short end of the stick. But C'MON. Life sucks. Doesn't mean you can go around killing people. |
| i'm starting to hate Shion there. she has already gone soo insane in this arc. All she have in mind now is all about satoshi Satoshi SATOSHI ! and then kill the people around her. Can't she just gave it up already !!? D< Geez, man. |
| Shion is a bitch she kills everyone she could possibly imagine is related to Satoshi's disappearance and now it makes sense as to why mion (shion) said "now i have killed everyone I wanted to" at the end of episode 8 |

| Holy crap at Rika O_O;;; |
| I NOW HATE SHION AGAIN! Rika D8 To the next episode then! |

| No she will kill Satoko in the next episode... Can't watch, I don't want to see anyone voiced by Mika Kanai die!!! |

| shion's laugh, creepy! now it's making more and more sense, Rika's suicide ... wow, i didn't suspect that. Shion talking with Satoshi moved my heart, accually it's because of her love to him and stupid Sonozaki family rules. |
| SHION VS RIKA - OMG XDDDD I've never doubt that, that this was SHION omg xDDD Its rly some kind of unexpected, but after all, it makes definitly sense, rly >_______< After all, i rly love Shion more than Mion now <3 Omk (oh my Kamina; after all, I'm a proud Member of the Kamina-isten <3), I love this Anime so freaking much eh >///<ö Great Work, no doubt bout that! |
| best death scene yet |
 RtheO |
| Rika's other voice is amazing. But ;____; I remember catchin' a glimpse of this a couple of episodes back atleast. |
 |
| OMG I love this anime keeps everything a mystery and secrets I wonder what will happen to Satoko xD |
