Hahaha! Nice question. I think you must first count the chapters in the series, then that will be the number that Keiichi will die.

OMG with the first scene in this episode. It's just soo.. WhooO!!

They must take turns to be the scary ones-first was Rena,then Mion,now again Rena...no matter that we know that Keiichi is a goner, this anime is still a cliff-hanger! ^^

Is it possible that the body the landlord found in the beginning was Satoshi's (Satoko's brother) ? I saw something blond... o.o

The point of the different storylines is that the show is based on a game where the plot can take one of many deviations, depending on your choices, and random chance. I guess the show makers just decided to pick the best combinations of series of events.

Although, the many re-tellings of the same story somehow still manage to remain interesting, I gotta say that the beginning of every arc now just seems so dull. You have all of this build up in the last arc and then its executed and just when you want more, it starts over.

I can't wait for that explaination already!

YAY! Psycho-Rena is Baaack!! She's always so cute xD
The cadaver at the begining was so messed up! I guess we can rule out Shion as the mastermind behind that one... Rena! :D
By the way, I just noticed the shoulder holster Shion wears... why does she carry a gun around? A hobby? xD

These Part 1 episodes always start out so wholesome and mundane, and then information is revealed and then we see psycho someone. Glad to see Rena the way she was, because she definitely is the creepiest when she gets that way.

I wanna ask about the gun oso... haha... it is even legal to own a gun and walking around with it. Im guessing it might have something to do with the plot....

The corpse at the beginning have nails in the hands which is exactly the same way Mion torture her victims. hmmm... is there a link?

It's never really mentioned as anything unusual. Her character page says its something like an airsoft gun. A toy or model really.

The nails in the joints of the hands is a torcher(sp?) method. I haven't seen farther in the series but that's just a way to torcher someone.

They found a dead body in the first part of the episode, so i assume that it's satoko's brother. Yeah, the coach is a pedophile.

The only shocking thing is the coach/doctor's feelings for Satoko. First the coach wants to make the little girl his bride, then he acts like Mr. Nice Guy and says he wouldn't mind making Satoko his daughter. If I were Keiichi, I'd keep the number to child protective services on my fridge as a precaution. But it doesn't really matter, since I doubt Keiichi will even live long enough to dial a single digit :P

I was hoping that this arc would focus on the other two girls as the evil ones, but judging from Rena's reactions, I guess that's not the case :<

1. Rena
2. Shion
3. Blond Little Girl...

And there is still the bluehaired girl...

I think every arc do focus on one girl's story...

Yeah, the anime is game based, so they have to show all story lines...
But the end will be awesome, I think...

Btw, I think that dead men at the start is the main character after Rena killed him...

My exact thought, I mean how old is she 6-7?
Though seeing this is an anime she could be 18 for all we know xD

Wondering if that coach guy will have any significant impact on the plot or if he was just a filler.

I wonder what the coach is all about. IN the first arc he was kinda part of the bad guys, now he is a wannabe pedophile..
So far the only connection between the arcs is the past which is assumingyl the same in all of them. So I think the answer lies not in one of the arcs but in fully understanding what happened in the past. Just my theory ^^
I probably regret this post by now.

OK I really hate it when the anime isn't following a plot. It becomes pretty confusing for me. >.<
Keichi was funny when he was cooking. He was chopping the cabbage in awesome way XD
About Rena and Mion - They are the same from the very beginning. They don't seem to act weird for me (weird means weird with respect to themselves). Idk... And I wonder how is possible the people form this village to live so... so... easygoing in it, while knowing about the horrible things that are happening there.

I can't beleive noone said anything about Shion!!!!! Think about the very first arc. Before keiichi batted the shit outta mion and Rena, he was asked by them if he really did like to play baseball. He hesitantly lies and says yes and so mion tells him wait for the manager to come. No matter how many times he asked who the manage was, they laughed hysterically and said "the managers the manager". Looking at this episode, it appears that shion is indeed the manager and just as what had been said in the first arc, shion says "a managers a manager" which definitely proves she is. What this entire thing means in questionable. I'm thinking shion is the bad one that is causing all the trouble somehow. But I can't piece together even half of a conclusion. It's a good thing this anime has been finished cuz I just wanna wath everything in one go if possible.

Off topic but... I can't believe I'm watching this show on new years eve and even continuing till after midnight in which Its now a new year. Well I guess all I can say is happy new year!! Bring on 2011 (and 2012 if you beleive in it.....MWuauahahahaha *imitates Rena/mion*)

Nice to see the link with the last arc-first proper appearance of the 15-nail torture. And I'm convinced that body in the first scene is indeed Satoshi, but could be wrong...

Wooh, creepy Rena is back!! But Mion seems pretty normal in this arc, while Shion is the creepy one. Hmm...
