| 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. |
| "It's a tragic misunderstanding that could have been easily avoided if he just finished his sentence in time!" — Richard Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) |
| 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 |
| "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." |
| I had to watch this in dubbed because the sub I was watching corrupted and all other streaming sites worked like shit and I really honestly truly wanted the die the English VAs are terrible. |

| Damn, this was a great arc. The great thing is, Shion was my favorite character before watching this arc. And now she is my most hated. That was a great trick this show played on me, I absolutely loved how it played out and tied into the 2nd arc. |

Satoko scene is hard to watch, especially when she stopped crying and was being strong, I really felt for her. Also, what really got me was when her face was drawn to express extreme pain to show that she was really trying to hold back her tears. That entire scene was done so well, it makes me sick.. |
|
| I dunno who killed Kei at the end. And that shirt tearing doesn't seem to be a coincidence. I believe that the spirit actually exists, no matter what. I hope Shion finds peace. And Mion is such a liar. I can't believe her. She should wash her tongue with bleach. New character next episode. I think that the ED is sung in place of Shion. The lyrics all describe her. |
 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. |
| Finally an enjoyable arc. You could definitely tell that Mion was lying till the end. |
 |
| And this is the arc that solidified Shion as the best crazy girl for me. Man, just the body count itself shows how crazy she really was. I still couldn't take the Satoko scene even though I was watching the censored version I still winched a little. |
 |
TheKoopaKing said: Shion killed everybody for a guy that literally didn't know that she existed. Satoshi knew Shion's existence. Remember when Oishi found Shion and Satoshi together since Oishi is looking for Satoshi for interrogation then Shion admitted that she's not Mion. It is just he didn't reach to the point to know Shion better. |
 |
| Sad ending, everyone except Rena ended up dead. The question of who stabbed Keichi in the hospital still remains. Shion is probably the most crazy character I've ever seen. Satoko's death was brutal. This show is like torture porn with a good plot. I think I'm actually enjoying all the violence at this point. I'm not sure if Mion was telling the truth about Satoshi not being killed by her family or if she was just saying it to get out alive. It would be interesting if there's another killer who we don't know about and also really fucked up that Shion took so much revenge on the wrong people. |
<Insert clever quote> |
| Damnnnn so it was all Shion ! This arc shows just how crazy someone can get over love. Seeing that torture seen with Satoko was really painful to watch, especially with her resolve to not cry. Still confused about the timeline resets but I like how Watanagashi-hen is all tied up now... What an amazing arc ! |
| I feel seriously bad for Satoko. And I was able to understand some parts of the previous episodes but does Mion really telling the truth? Does the Sonozaki family doesn't have anything to do with the dissappearance of Satoshi? |
  ★━━─ 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵? 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺? |
| Holy fudge, what an arc this has been! Shion + the Demon all along, that certainly adds up a lot of things. Finally covered the death of Rika-chan too. And that whole scene surrounding Satako-chan was seriously creepy, she really did well to hold back her tears but that just made it even more horrifying for the viewers... But a few questions remain still and I’m guessing we’ll be getting across to those in time. Who really was behind Satoshi’s death? Who killed Keichii in the end there of Arc 2 then? Is it really the clinic lady? Maybe Rena-chan? Are we going to be seeing the puzzles piece out for the other arcs too? Man, if so, it’s going to be some ride. Just this bit alone was fascinating to see unravel. |

| Shion murder everyone.... and also this is end of this arc. |
| It's stabby stabby time again |
 |
| This was just so insane! Everything makes sense now. Shion is actually psychotic, like she was just killing people for fun at the end. |
 |
| i feel so bad for mion. she went through all of that seeing all her friends be tortured, killed and be manipulated by shion, her own sister. then she dies damn |
