| Mm, that hospital thing is bothering me too. Both Shion and Mion were supposedly dead by the time Keiichi was in hospital after being stabbed by Shion, so who was it that appeared then? Shion, you're a crazy bitch. But you do make some funny faces. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| This is what happend in my opinion.. I might be wrong. The person at the hospital was Shion!! Shion that appeared at the hospital was covered in blood.. Could it be that she just survived the fall? They were confused because they thought Mion was doing all the killings and that she stabbed Kei and cause Shion to fall from the building. But they found Mion's body in the well and realized she was already dead when Kei was stubbed and Shion was "murdered". So the fake one was Shion's dead body. Either it was Shion and seemed dead but she wasn't (maybe she is really a demon) or it was something that looked like her and the real shion survived and immediately run off to kill keiichi.. Anyway the show is awesome so far! |
| I hate the word “fate.” Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that’s all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a future and the only certain thing was that we wouldn’t amount to anything. - Takakura Shouma |

| Holy fucking shit! I am in love with this anime. This right here is why I started watching anime. I'd have never seen anything like this in western television. Fucking brilliant. |
 |
| Shion is the queen of crazy facial expressions. Too bad she broke her last promise to Satoshi. And died. Damn it, Keiichi. If you only gave the doll to Mion, all of this could have been avoided. And this episode ends this arc. It answered most of my questions, but there's still things I don't get: If Mion fell into the well and Shion fell off the hospital, who the heck killed Keiichi in the hospital? It could be a hallucination though. This arc doesn't explain the entire Takano thing. And I guess the clothes thing is an error or something. |
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. |

Tsun2Yan said: That whole thing with the clothes doesn't really matter, as this isn't just a retelling of watanagashi-hen from Shion's perspective. There are some small differences that show enough to conclude that this should be considered a completely separate arc from Watanagashi-hen that just plays out similiarly. |

StormSky92 said: So the answer to how Kei got stabbed in the hospital was not revealed. Jeez, that is really driving me crazy. And I wonder if what Mion said at the end was true, then how did Satoshi disappear. Is it not all being done by the Sonozaki family after all? So many questions I want answers to. Kei |
| Shion you clever girl. Mion died after Shion made her fall into the hole (where she thought Satoshi was located). Shion had before killing Mion changed clothes with Mion's prisoner clothes so in order to fool the police, Rena and Kei, she made it appear as if she was Mion. I guess the creators behind the show made an error in this episode since it indeed looks like Shion falls down into the hole. But it would make much more sense if you think of it as if she was just falling down but still remained in the "cell", making it seem like she was "prisoner Mion".. Damn Shion.. |
| Yep, the real monsters are mentally unstable people. Shion went completely nuts and got what she deserved. Man, so many people died for no reason... that psycho B*TCH! She got off easy by just falling to death; she deserved being tortured by all those things in the basement!!! Keiichi actually believed in her being possessed by a demon and after Ooishi said that the body was in the well he probably just imagined the demon at his bedside. PS: never "be alone for 30 minutes" with an obviously crazy person who admitted that they killed people. Be even more careful if they randomly show up under your window late at night and DO NOT go outside to talk to them. |
| Wow, what Shion did to Satoko...that whole scene just wow. The only thing left unanswered as stated was who attacked Kei at the hospital if Shion died from that fall. There was no demon, just Shion. |
 |
| Shion, nut till the end xD She was one crazy psycho. When she killed Sakoto and just after realized what Satoshi asked her before he left, her reaction was just perfect ; a mix of sadness and pure craziness. Some of the faces she made in that episode were just so crazy that it was hilarious xD I still don't understand who it was at the end of the episode 8 that appeared in front of Keiichi. Her sister kill was so cruel, making her believe for a second that she's gonna spare her then laugh maniacally. God, this show confuse me so much :P |

| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| You know what would be really ironic was that Saotoshi just ran away after all. |

| They already discussed the walking corpse demons in the previous arc, so it's not much of a mystery as to how that happened. TonyC1994 said: Satoshi, master trollYou know what would be really ironic was that Saotoshi just ran away after all. |
| All I could do was laugh at this insanity. Shion's logic, "I will kill the dear little sister of the person I liked so that he will come to me". Except for Satoko's brutal death, this episode was funny in all the wrong way, especially Shion's fall at the end lol. And, they didn't even show us what really happened after that.

| My Explanation to the hospital scene is hallucinations. An he was hallucinating to, when he thought, that he killed the Hojo-uncle in the 3rd arc. But I'm coming closer to the end and to the 2nd season, where everything seems to be explained, so I'm looking forward to that. |

| How dare she hurt my Sakato-chan, it's good that this arc is over so we can get on to something better. And what age is Shion and Mion because there breasts are too big to be 14 years old, or even 15 for that matter. They were water melons when Mion was locked in the cage. |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| Wow. That part with Shion switching clothes with Mion really threw me off. I was REALLY confused! You can tell Shion is fucking nuts when she scales the side of the apartment just to get back to her room. Jeez... That murder scene with Satoko...Holy shit... Great episode. Not on par with last episode but still very good! This was my favorite arc thus far! |
| I'm really curious how Kei was killed at the hospital unless it was just a hallucination... |
| Well at least the gun mystery is finally solved. Looked like a flare gun to me as she was falling. |
duotrouble said: I loved this arc. I'm confused on Kei getting stabbed in the hospital too. But I'm thinking he was just having a nightmare. ^_~ I think the demon is just a red herring. These kids are insane. @.@ There's no demon possessing them. They are just plain crazy. i also think he is hallucinating, and i think you're on to something, except there has to be a demon, since rika is the priestess, and we've seen the demon speak through her. i think instead she just "calmed" the demon and kept it from murdering people, like she did with satoko, and the kids are the ones who jumped to conclusions and went on a killing rampage FrostbyteDOT said: TonyC1994 said: Satoshi, master trollYou know what would be really ironic was that Saotoshi just ran away after all. hehehehe chillock said: And what age is Shion and Mion because there breasts are too big to be 14 years old, or even 15 for that matter.

| Now it all makes sense. Almost. Great arc, again. |
| Well it was nice to see everything that actually happened in the second arc cleared up. I actually thought Shion's death was gonna be a suicide though, wasn't expecting it to be accidental. The one thing it didn't explain though was the zombie Shion who stabbed Keiichi in the hospital, maybe that will be next episode :/? I don't watch previews since I find them too spoilery. This was an AMAZING arc though, best one yet. I honestly have no idea how they're gonna top this. It's just not gonna be the same without crazy Shion and her evil plans. I'm gonna miss her <3 :(. |

| This arc was pretty good, it was great to have the questions answered for the 2nd arc (if my memory serves me right?) though it still leaves me with other questions. God I love Higurashi, the mysteries around the characters and the episodes are so amazing, but at the same time confusing. Looking forward to the last few episodes, here is to hoping more of Rena's past will be revealed. Also surprised how Shion went full psycho in the end...reminds me of Yuno from Mirai Nikki. Glad to see she died tbh. |
 |
| Man, Shion was so high, she pissed her self. |
 |
| Damn. I don't see how Shion could have survived that fall, so I guess Keiichi didn't die in the second arc either? That was a hallucination? Poor Satoko, that was a terrible way to go. Didn't really like her in previous arcs but definitely felt bad in this one. And poor Mion, as well. Just when I thought Shion might changed her mind, she still gets tased. This arc definitely answered more questions than it brought up though, so that was good. Only one arc left in this season! |
| That's how they're going to end this arc? Are you serious! Wow, after all that her shirt just rips and she falls to her death. There's some questions still left but at least a lot of them got answered. |
 |
| I'm confused. Didn't he get stabbed and then went to the hospital, where "Mion" finished him off? And THEN they find Shion dead? Anyway I would've been fine if this was the plot for the entire anime. There's so much unnecessary arcs in this anime. Also, it sucks that Mion's going to be thought of as a murderer when Shion was the real yandere. |

| satoko's death made me nauseous, that was heartbreaking and really disturbing this is by far my favorite arc though, 5/5 |
| Wow this is complete madness! Shion is the master deceiver for this part. Looking forward to the next arcs and the solution to the still unsolved mysteries during the previous arcs. Tanako is still intriguing for me. |
| "Having someone saying you're okay as you are and being needed by that person... It was nice to have someone like that..." — Taiga Aisaka |
| That was insane. o_o I'm both amazed and terrified at Shion. She went from wanting to do good to becoming evil itself, And poor Satoko she was the only innocent person here. |
| The only one and true Yandere = Shion Oh Satoko receiving pain again........ Now after plenty of things explained, one big question remains, WHO ARE YOU RENA?? |
 |
| higurashi is dropping bombs left to damn right like gozzamnn |
| EPIC arc 5/5 surely |
 |
| to this day the satoko scene still makes me physically sick this is my second time watching the series but shit still traumatizes me as much as the first time, and that says a lot because I've seen all kinds of fucked up shit without batting an eye lol still my fav arc tho |
| Shion went completly mad. That classic ladder scene xD I always laugh, when I see their "rape" faces. :D |
