| Ok, I know one thing - I know nothing. Ok there are things that connecting every arc and making one story, but in the other side... Everything is senseless. I have a feeling that this is a some kind of timeloop (endless eight? Everything is happening in every possible way) |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| WHY DID RIKA DIE?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNCLE?! WHY DID THE TV TURN OFF AT THE END?! WHY DID EVERYONE KEIICHI WANTED DEAD END UP DEAD?! MINDFUCKING PLOTS! |
Stewiepwn said: Yeah that made no fucking sense. Studio Deen didn't think that through at all.I liked the bit where he teleported to the other side of a metal railing |
| Very interesting arc. I'm still trying to figure out what the constants and vairable between each story. Nice to learn what happen when someone is possessed by the demon. |
| PLOT HOLES ! PLOT HOLES EVERYWHERE ! meh -_- *sigh although this chapter had finally brought back the 'scary/thrilling' atmosphere which the last chapter lacked imo, but the final execution in this episode was so messed up. why there were so many questions left unanswered ? The first chapter is still my favorite |
| Why?... |
| wow i actually enjoyed this episode :o like it didn't make me want to punch my screen too bad it's the end of the arc though ChaoticSilence said: Stewiepwn said: Yeah that made no fucking sense. Studio Deen didn't think that through at all.I liked the bit where he teleported to the other side of a metal railing lol cant believe i didnt catch that |
 |
| As soon as they were standing over the river I knew someone was gonna fall... but the railing is totally secure, right? How did she manage that? |
| Ha, so Keiichi finally survived an arc huh? Guess it just took everyone else in the village dieing to make it happen =p. |
 |
| You could've wished for $999999999999999999999999999999999999 and instead you wished for a bunch of random people to die. |
| Everything is unanswered -__- Interesting ending. This time Keiichi was able to wish for everyone's death - except everyone died anyway (except him). |
| wtf this is getting very stupid. this mc is truly pathetic, weak minded and timid. always getting manipulated, he just feels like a complete joke. what kind of murderer confess his crime to almost everyone he sees? yup, denies like a little bitch when satoko calls him a murderer. granted, he may/may not have killed rika, didn't he confessed about killing satoko's uncle? doesn't that make him a murderer? |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Wow, Keiichi actually lived this time? This was a strange arc, considering everytime he wished someone dead, they actually died. Stewiepwn said: I liked the bit where he teleported to the other side of a metal railing Haha wow, I didn't catch that either. NostalgiaDrive94 said: But I've noticed that more arcs are into here, and more directly the protagonists recall what they learned from the previous arcs. I think this is a loophole thing. From the same link and the same start, as the choices change, we get to see the possible futures, which can never conclude themselves with everyone alive, someone always dies. Hmmm, interesting. I like that theory. |

| The mc is so dense.. he didn't die this time at least but still |
| So far every single ending has left me with my jaw hanging wide open in shock. Though I have to say, this arc is probably my least favorite. In both of the other arcs we got answers. In this one we never found out why Keiichi thought he killed Satoko's uncle and didn't go to the festival. We never find out who killed Rika or Tayano. We never find out what happened to the photographer. We never find out why Keiichi has that strange power to curse people. This arc is also the only one that I'm not on Keiichi's side at all. |
| "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) |
| It seems like Satoko has the power to defy laws of physics (with that push from the bridge scene) lel. Also, Keiichi proves that he is the stupidest smartass MC I've ever seen. For this arc, the author obviously wants us to believe that Keiichi has the power to kill people by just wishing it but I'm not taking the bait. There are many episodes left so I hope that a believable explanation will be revealed later on. |
| "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 |
| Im tired of saying "WTF" to every end so I'm just gong to say... "And everyone died. The end" |
| This is starting to piss me off in so many levels... jeez Keiichi: he can't possibly get more dumber than this in the next arc. He just can't... I ended up finding it funny how he openly started to confess his murders to everyone lol FFS When talking to Satoko he was blatantly BRAGGING about it. UNf*ckingBELIEVABLE.... And don't even get me started with that scene with Rika and the crows... When Satoko pushed him off bridge I actually paused the video just to sink than in... HOW DAFUQ? The bridge has a metal protection, I CAN F*CKING SEE HOW IT GOES OVER THEIR HEADS! And what's wrong with your right hand Keiichi? Are you physically unable to grab a rope with 2 hands? The first arc was the peak of the show. It has gone extremely downhill since then... Disappointed :| |

| In regards to what ReilaNimu said, I feel like that is very possible at this point. Poor Satoko~ |
"So wave goodbye to the hope we were born with, and say farewell to the chance of surviving this holocaust of love, this age of lost souls, but I'm holding on with both hands and I'm never letting go." |
| Nice combo Keiichi. MULTIKILL!!!!! |
| "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." |
| the mystery is intense and i need answers. was all of this just a fever dream? that would a explain the randomness. and how satoko could have gone to rikas house, put on clothes and get back to keiichi (why would she even do that?) within two minutes. i don't know why this bugged me the most. |
| This was the best arc so far! Hope every arc after this is just as mind fuck-y |

| On a rewatch and I have to say, I'm digging this series all over again. You can see the way it foreshadows, hints and outright deceives when you have knowledge of the full picture. This just makes me wish I hadn't seen it the first time. |
 |
| Nice turn of events.Anyway, the next one will be a time killing chapter, so expect a filler episode. Atleast Keiichi saw Satoko nude. He is one step closer to getting laid. Also, that butt whack. Oshiri penpen indeed.  |
 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. |

The first arc was the peak of the show. It has gone extremely downhill since then... Disappointed :| +1. Just +1. This is shaping up to be the sort of story that only got popular for the shock value and promise of underlying mystery. The other arcs were alright, but this one went just about as stupidly as it could get. So much bullshit was slathered on, with seemingly the only excuse being "lol it's a mystery! You're not supposed to know what's going on so we can do whatever we want!" I'm sure some of the information regarding Oyashiro-sama's curse is relevant. It's fairly obvious that the breaking of the statue's hand is relevant. Keiichi being so "smart" that he decided to murder an obvious criminal on the night of a festival and Sakoto pushing him clean through a guard rail, among so many other things, simply has no reason to ever be relevant. It only happened because the plot needed it to, consistency be damned. |
| Wut? I give up trying to make predictions about this show. They just killed off everyone except Keiichi. The supervisor mysteriously commits suicide and the cop goes missing, wow. I wonder if the new arc will continue off with everyone else dead or is it gonna reset everything again. |
<Insert clever quote> |
| *miau* ฅ(₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑ |
 |
| The gaz poison at the end is definitely from the pipe Keiichi dug out |

| So in this arc, his wishes came true, huh? But that was a brutal way of killing Rika. Who killed her though? Everything became so messed up! |

| Furude Rika still mysterious... |
| Keiichi actually managed to survive this time! Let's throw a survivor's party lol |
 |
| wow I wonder how Rika died, and how the poison gas killed everyone except Keiichi. Where did the gas even come from? |
 |
Genix said: Very late reply, but the version I watched had her whole front body opened. The only censorship was the crow eating her organs (standing on top of her stomach). You could see her ribs, tiny bit of her organs, and her intestine. Something I wasn't ready to see lol.By the way, in the version I wacthed of this episode, Rika-chan's corpse was slightly "censored", as in the infamous "mysteryous" shade appeared around her body... I just saw her all bloody. If the version, if there's a different one, that any of you have watched, is different and shows more, can you tell me if she had any other injuries? ^^ |
 |
| this curse is only protecting keichi hmm.. maybe it has to do because he survived that fall or something? preparing for another timeline now! poor satoko has been through hell and back. hopefully she'll find nii-nii or someone like him to fulfil the role. satoko just wanted to trust someone but because of the accident she felt like everyone had abandoned her. why did rika die though? |
| Keiichi last wish was the death of everyone in the village. When they revealed that everyone in the village died, I was really shocked. :o My two questions on this arc are where is the uncle's corpse and who killed Rika. |
 |
| It should not have been physically possible for him to fall off that bridge, that was hell of a dumb scene. He just phased through the steel lol. I got more and more doubts that this show will make sense in the end, but let's keep watching. |
