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.

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...

Shion has really lost her mind...

I felt SOOO bad when Shion was interrogating Rika outside by the woods and then slapped her+pushed her. Rika is too dam cute and innocent to fall into the crazy killing spree like the other characters.. :(

5/5, one more to go in this arc!

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!!!*

This arc has definitely bumped my score for this back up to a 9. There's just something satisfying about putting everything together slowly when we get new bits of information each episode ^_^

Rika is a dumbass to kill herself like this. Would have been much easier and propably less painful if she stabbed herself in the heart.

I can't believe Rika was even capable of killing herself, I cringe whenever something sharp comes close to my skin. Anyway I'm kind of glad Shion turned out to be the villian in this arc, I didn't like how they showed Mion being evil twice in a row

Watanagashi hen and Meakashi hen scared the shit out of me the first time I watched them. Watching them a third time, there are still some scenes I can't watch (Mostly the distinction).

Rika's suicide makes sense when you think about it. She had a choice, kill herself, or get tortured and killed by Shion. She chose the less painful option.

Same thing here. I wasn't thinking about giving this any more than a 8/10 but right now it's a solid 9.

I wonder what was in that needle... It's probably the same thing they injected Keiichi with in the first arc and the reason he died by clawing his throat. But really is that drug? By the way, I think Shion is my favorite character by now. Even though I felt like I had loads of reasons to ate her now.

Well, who can blame Shion? She was swapped at birth, they almost killed her just because twins were forbidden in the Sonozaki (for inheritance reasons), they trapped her in a boarding school for years, her first crush was blacklisted by a whole village and possibly killed and she was tortured just for liking said boy. Sounds like a lot of reasons to go insane.

Loved this episode. I hated Rika and Satoko from the start, so having Shion kill them (she'll probably kill Satoko the next episode) is awesome. Shion is quite the crazy bitch xD. It's true that this doesn't explain the whole bridge scene in the Satoko arc. Maybe that already happened, or is completely unrelated to this arc. Arcs seem to be connected partly but not as a whole. Well I hope this sin't the case, since that would leave too much speculation in the end.

... the fuck? Ok, Rika obviously was never that innocent but still to actually see her try to attack Shion, I thought that was interesting lol and then she finally ended up killing herself. How things are being revealed is just fascinating.

Hmm, well that's true though not as malicious as it first seems. Can't say more without going into massive amounts of spoilers though. Let's just say, once upon a time, RIka's cute act was actually her being cute and not just an act or going through the motions.

I now feel like I need to go back and watch the episodes that these episodes are helping to explain. Very good episode though. Seems like the majority of these characters become possessed, whether or not they are unaware of it is another thing entirely.

Aw, I hoped Rika would kill that crazy girl.

Yeah, I'm sure covering Rika with newspapers makes the crime disappear.

Really intense and gory, but the pieces are coming together, so it's really good so far.
