| 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.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| 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! |

| 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 |
| What I wonder is how they will tie up all the arcs. This arc is the same as the second, but from Shion's point of view. What about the others...? |
| Poor Rika-chan. Nuff said. But I like the way Shion becomes more and more insane, reminds me of the first arc. |

| gangsta comment: Lol dat Rika was like nipah and sh*t in a moment and in the next she banged her head to a knife xD,crazy b8ch :) normal coment: whoa so Rika killed herself?from some spoilers i heared something else :-),i'm glad it was wrong because i was kinda shocked :),and this scene has been played once in a beggining of an episode... i still can't belive how evil Shion is :\...burn in hell you sadic human being :\ poor Rika :-( 5/5 |

| Great episode again. I think it may be possible that Rika actually was the one who put the curse in action on behalf of the families. She seemed quite experienced with all the assasinating stuff. That could also explain why she knew about the killings beforehand - because she would kill them. Or at least "her" in the sense of her being obsesses by the demon (as she is the priestess it would make sense)... Well, I have a feeling that I will finish this series today ^^ |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| oh balls! That's a whole lot of blood. To think that lil girl was that ruthless. |
 |
| Nipah~~ These girls are scary O_O |
 |
| Nice suicide. High time the annoying little brat died. I'm not getting anything though. |
 |
| I think the gun is artificial or just a symbol ... nobody seems to be surprised about it... Poor Rika .. |
| Man that episode was crazy.Especially the end..Trying to kill each other but then suicide??I don't know what else to say..This anime has left me speechless!! |
 |
| Isn't the gun a tazer? If its an actual gun then I've never seen Shion use it Shion is scary. I didn't expect Rika's suicide I'm guessing Shion's also going to kill Satoko as well soon :O |
| Wah, I'll say I love Insane Shion too. And did anyone else kind of LOL when Shion told the shadow Satoshi, "I'm going to jump, so catch me, Satoshi-kun!" Satoshi just went, "...Meh." XD! Everything. Keeps. Fitting. Together. AWESOME. I kinda forgot Rika's suicide too, but I have to say I jumped once I saw a big spurt of blood. Wahhhh. ^^ For some reason, I feel stupid when I see all the phones not working or when they have to carry them around the room in this series, because I'm like, "JUST USE YOUR CELL - WAIT IT'S 1983" like a dumbass. |
 |
| Wow, I love that crazy bitch Shion xD |
| Shion's a psycho bitch who has finally lost her mind. Is Satoshi really at the bottom of the well? o.0 Rika saying 'meow' is so cute! What is in that syringe? So that's what happened to Rika. T-T |
| What a gruesome ending (couldn't watch the whole thing), poor Rika-chan. That Shion is a total nutjob, I never would have suspected her to be behind everything. At least things are finally starting to heat up agan, can't wait for Rena's arc. Gotta admire Rika (or Oyashiro-sama's?) courage though, she could have just stabbed herself through the chest. |
 |
| Wow, perhaps my favorite episode of this season. I can say without a doubt I'd enjoy this more a 2nd time through, I think the order they told the story could have used some adjusting. |
| Such junk... |
| Wow this is now my favorite arc (with the link to the second one anyway) I really liked the first arc so if the next arc is as great as this one then I'm going to have to keep watching for a while... |
| R-Rika stabbed herself. . . but why!!!??? wow i cant believe Rika could do something like that... shes so cute and stuff... shes not who we think she is haha this was a really interesting epi!!! poor Satako's next. . . omg in the beginning it was so mean of Shion to hang up on Keichii!!! and her poor Granpa almost died... im kind of glad she didnt fall down the well because then everyone in that cave would have been trapped and eventually would have died... but who says there not gonna already DX its cool how Rika matched her footsteps with Shion... i wonder if shes the stalker for Orishiro!!! That was a REALLY interesting battle between the 2!!! all in all i loved the epi!!! Rika finally tried to kill someone!!!* |
