| omigosh Rika looks so scary when she freaks out. >.< |
| Keichii looks here like someone who can change the fate, he's really important here. Shion and murderer instinct back ? |
| I probably should have but this in an earlier episode's discussion but whatever. I have a theory about Rika and Hanyuu. The dark, emotional, and serious Rika is the real Rika. When Rika acts cute and "normal", saying nipah~ and stuff, she's actually channeling Hanyuu. |
| Good development in this episode. Hanyuu starts to annoy me though, she is such a downer, always wanting rika to give up hope :/ |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I keep yelling at Rika through my screen to just tell everyone EVERYTHING! I know it wouldn't solve anything, but since she has so many tries in reliving that world, telling everybody everything she knows wouldn't hurt if she did it once, right? Well, I would have a different plan in each world to see which one was effetive or not. Some people might not be getting what I mean, though >.< |
 |
| Let's see how much of a difference they can make... |
| This is just triggering everything up.... i think this chapter will have a great ending, and then i mean great as in big... Though it's really nice to see that Rika isn't the only one remembering now... i'm glad they're remembering things from the passed worlds.. |
| Here we go again... I don't like the way Keiichi said he had an idea... Everyone is so quick to jump the gun on killing people O_O |
 |
FateSyka said: I laughed at "You go burn in the mountain and you kill yourself with narcotics!" xD That was pure win xD ! |
| Wow, this is the first time i saw rika going mad!!Pretty scary.. And what is going on in this world?Everyone is turning good and trying to help in the "right " way?It's about time they took the matter in their own "hands", if you understand.. |
 |
| Ugh.. Teppei is back. Raging Rika is scary. O_O Psycho Shion shows up for a minute. <3 Aw, depressed Rika again. |
Crono_Maniac said: Technically, she's lived longer periods of time before. For example, in the fourth arc of season 1 Akasaka arrives to Hinamizawa 5 years before the events where she dies and she already knew everything, and told him all. So one could think that she could relive longer periods of her life before (maybe to way before the beginning of the murders) and that their power to go back in time waned over the 100+ years she's lived. We can also assume she's tried to tell the truth to Akasaka and other people aside from him more than once. She certainly told Akasaka enough times for it to become a permanent event.nicoliolipoli said: I keep yelling at Rika through my screen to just tell everyone EVERYTHING!

Some people might not be getting what I mean, though >.< You realize she said she'd been at this for over a century right? Repeating the same two-week period? That's over 2600 iterations. No wonder she's so bored. Everything we've yelled at her to do she's tried probably dozens of times. Telling everyone everything is probably something she's tried a bunch and it totally failed every time. |
 |
| "You will burn in the mountains! You die of narcotics!" I could try to understand Rika's frustration, but I obviously can't, but I will say that I can understand what it's like to be that frustrated. (Yes, I know that sentence makes no sense, I just can't word it any better.) I at first gawked but then I laughed because it was just like a big "fuck you!" to everyone that supposedly has the power Rika needs, haha!! I kind of like Shion's compassion for Satoko during this arc. She keeps defending her when we've been so used to her hating her guts for what happened to Satoshi. I was kind of shocked that Satoko's uncle did come back, regardless, though it shouldn't have been surprising. I knew it was going to steadily work it's way downhill since everyone else's problems seemed okay now. Buu. |
 |
| Enraged Rika <3 her personality really changed in this season. Let's see how much Keiichi could actually do. |
 |
| So far I'm not really feeling this series as much as the first one, but at least it's satisfying my curiosity for the storyline. Also, I lol'd at Rika going mental at Takano and Irie. |
 |
| Just when you thought everything was going great for Rika... that purple hair chick is murdered and Satacos uncle returns XP it was interesting seeing Rika all mad though... like when she totally had a breakdown infront of Takano and Irie! |
 |
| another great episode |
Ni Paaa ^_^ |
| raging Rika ftw. :D |
 |
| This arc is not what i was expecting when i read the title at all, but there's still time for a massacre i guess. :/ |
 |
| How can this be so interesting !?! Bah i love this anime so much |
| YES!!!! thats the spirit!!! i really feel sorry for rika!!! she has to deal with this, over and over again.... Coe on keichii, save the day again!!! XD |
| Maybe I have a bad memory... but why does Rika go back and forth from intense voice to adorable voice? |
| I'm wondering if the other characters notice it too? or maybe her intense voice is only associated with when Rika is not 'happy'. |
 |
| Rika #1 Rage quit |
| This arc about the uncle coming wasnt fully explainable from the failed similar arc where it was Keichii who killed the uncle and yet his body was dug but later gone and it was later explained that during the festival 'another' Keichii was in place of the real one. Whats up with that! But this episode so far is awesome and glad to see that Shion didn't go to her murderous killing spree and being all bitch like and stuff. |
| I'm crying so hard right now, but I'm so happy that so many fates have changed. It's just so frustrating.. But I believe like Rika that Keiichi can do it. GO KEIICHI!!! BELIEVE IN HIM RIKA! |
| Very interesting turn in events, let's see how it goes! |

Entropy said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- <img src="http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa250/Bokunenjin/SadSatoko.jpg" border="0"> Guess who's back? Well it can't have been that much of a surprise, seeing as Satoko was the only one who's troubles haven't yet been resolved. Teppei's back, Rika's back to her regular mopey self, Shion wants to take the easy way out and Keiichi shows just how awesome he can be. Also Keiichi's father looks a lot less.. extravagant than in the manga. Keiichi is a badass. He'll be a main part of solving this! :D |
 |
| Keiichi can be such a boss at times. |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| Nice going Keiichi! And Rika is miserable again :( Hopefully they can get out of this mess. |
| LOOL I like this new Rika acting with all effort to change her fate. But i think it's unrealistic and dull that she needed 100 years of repeating this same story just to start doing something to change it........... |
 |
| Rika dont give up ! Keichi power to the max ! But why is it that after 1000++ worlds they all start remembering just now ? And why didnt rika ever thought of just leaving hinamizawa and go anywhere else ? Why cant she ? (Random question time :P) Maybe if Rina doesnt die Satokos uncle wont return ? Thats what they have to prevent in the next arc? |
| Dat mad Shion. <3 |
 |
| I thought Rika is the one who will go bat-shit crazy from that scene with Dr. Irie and Takano. |

| Meh... |
 |
| Damn that uncle of Satoko's. |
 |
| Shion almost went oni-mode there! I wonder if in the end Rika will go crazy and kill everyone herself... |
| The douche bag uncle is back... great. |
 |
| 1. raging rika scared me. 2. wonder how this arc will turn out. 8/10 |

| I don't like this episode, the characters action didn't make sense (except for Rika), like Shion sudden rage, willing to even go as far as to say she will kill Keiichi, in the past, her action could be dismissed because of the virus, but she did seem like she was taken over at that instance, and if nothing happens to her like what happened to her in the past, then I will be disappointed. Not only that, people here, eh, not even adults, just high schoolers, talking about killing and murder as if it's the norm. |

| This is turning weird. From the drama of the beginning, we're going into a more plain drama that can be seen in any generic anime.. but I think this is needed for what will come next.. Wanna see how it will turn out. Shion is a time-bomb, she has a very sucking self-control. |
| I still hate Keiichi for his stupidity in previous arcs, but in this arc really is somewhat cool. Taking a chair to the head like a boss, not even bothering to block it. Avoided Shion going on a killing spree again, first the doll and now here. Good job so far, Keiichi! |
| Great episode. I'm really curious as to what they will do. Also, like what others said. This is the best arc in the series. |
| Danm straight |
   |
| the characters spend the entire episode talking about doing something and only decide on doing something at the end, man are they dragging this arc out |
