| Finally Satoko takes a stand. I like how bits and pieces of the puzzle is coming together. :D |
| Takano, major takano. well i've always have 'that' feeling that she's the bad one , so well, because of her there was that toxic gase eruption . but why ? she;s like a psycho, she laughet because of that she hurts people, and Jirou-san death should be a honour for him. so yeah, it'll end bad . + for Satoko, she finally did something useful, screaming over and over Nii-Nii was soooo iritating but of course here it also was. poor Rika, everything (i think) will get bad and all of that Hinamizawa Syndrome and gase eruption will happen again. |
9th-eden said: Gah I figured something was up with Takano *sigh* why do the evil ones always look oh so good.... Fantastic episode though can't wait to see where things go from here. So the work of vengeful hentai artists "punishing" her is hawter? |
IAmNotMe said: I suddenly find myself attracted to Takano... I always did like her eyes. :D lol same here and DAT VOICE |
 |
| yeah I KNEW she was rotten...i did not like her since the 1st time i saw her,she's the creepiest character in Higurashi :\ 5/5 |

| Damn, that episode explained a lot again. The last piece of the puzzle is now explained, but sadly not solved in this arc. I bet from now on its just going down... And all that after it took so much effort to finally get satoko out of her shell :( |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| This is the best episode yet. This season definitely seems superior. |
| Takano...oooooooaaaaahhhh it all makes sense now. |
 |
| Takano sure has a lot of free time... |
| So Takano is the mastermind..Well, i have to admit, this episode was great.And explained many things.However, Takano was behind the deaths of every year?I mean, she was the one who started the Oyashiro-sama's curse? |
 |
| Satoko finally stood up for herself! *cries tears of joy* I hope Rika holds up to that when this one ends the same. Yamainu are the ones who killed Rika in the first arc, right? Takano's behind everything!?!? THAT ROTTEN BITCH. I hope she dies a violent death. Why would she want that to become a reality? What the fuck? She's even worse than Psycho Rena & Psycho Shion. It all makes sense now, I mean.. why that nurse turned off Satoko's light. If Rika's lived through world's similar to this many times, how does she not realize that Takano is behind it all? |
| When I found out Takano was behind it I was just thinking damn I should have known but I would have never guessed it because her and Jiyo-san die in every arc. Fooled again damn it. |
 |
| I was liturally crossing my fingers for Satoko to ask for help! Her reunion with Rika-tachi nearly made me cry for some reason. Oh crap, I'm such a softy. xD Ik hate Takano Miyo now. I won't deny I liked her in the first season, but GAH. Suddenly I feel it's a shame she wasn't actually dying all those times. >.> Ah well, it's late... |
 |
| Well, well, finally an interesting twist. Of course, it was painfully obvious Takano-san wasn't just an unimportant factor in the story, but I'd never really expected her to be behind everything. Can't wait to see what the hell is that Hinamizawa syndrome exactly, the next episode should reveal more. Poor Rika, looks like everything's going to fall to pieces again, just when she was so close. |
 |
| Well now things make sense in terms of Ooishi's confusion with "too many corpses walking around in this case" from waaaaay back in the first season since Takano was supposed to be dead 24 hours before yet she was seen at the festival. YES I AM AWESOME ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THIS TIDBIT YAY ME <3 I actually went, "Bwah? This chapter's not over?" upon seeing the next episode preview. This really is a long arc! Not that there's anything wrong with that. As for Takano, I never really liked her to begin with, and always thought she acted kind of strange. This just kind of confirms my odd vibe and adds a dash of unexpected evil. :/ EDIT: Oh, yeah, I wanted to add in my cheers for Satoko standing up for herself. That was a very happy moment. X3!! And so the downward spiral begins~ hauu~ |
 |
| once again, child services failed with the phone call. They should have done what the police did in the last arc in season 1. Now I remember the spoiler I read back in season 1 that Takano is the mastermind. NOW this world is done for. Nice attempt, Rika and group. |
 |
| Wow Takano is INSANE! |
| So it was Takano the whole time?! and YAY Satacos saved! but n Jiro died... and then Irie will die D= NO! but on the bright side im so happy Sataco told them to save her! she was pretty beaten up =( but yay now shes all okay ^^ still im very mad at Takano! how cou8ld she do that >={ i hope she get caught! |
 |
| I knew Takano was behind everything!! |
Ni Paaa ^_^ |
| ZOMG! Takano is an evil bitch. |
 |
| ZOMG! Takano is an evil bitch. |
|
| Rika is gunna be pissed that the curse still happened. To be honest, I wasn't expecting this. |
| Tatorigoroshi-hen gave the most hints about Takano, it figures that the answer arc would explain why, she'd a crazy evil bitch with a very sad past. ...Oh, that last part was Matsuribayashi. Oh well, you'll have 3-4 episode of just seeing her past! |
| now i understand... shit, this is going bad!!! i just wish this doesn't jeprodise the chances of rika staying in the labyrinth of 'fate' :/ |
| I don't get it...so is Takano's motivation to simply "watch the world burn?" She wants to see the "curse" happen and release the virus...but for what purpose? |
| OMG and I was so happy for Satoko! I wish I could just go into the show and explain all this to everyone D; |
| Damn that also directly changed allot, damn this is getting good :D |
 |
| I had a gut feeling from the very beginning that Takano was up to something fishy. Her voice kinda gave it away. This is getting really good. |
| takano is still hot... |
  |
| I didn't expect at all that Takano is involved in this !! |
| HA I called this all the way back in episode 11 of season 1 Divy said: For some inexplicable reason, when Takano said her car's boot was already full... I had this horrible sensation that there was a body inside it (maybe Tomitake's?) Getting my Sherlock Holmes on like a baus! >:) |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| Yay Satoko! ....and Takano boo! T__T Everything is so happy....and then shit happens. |
| Like they'd ever end an episode on a happy note..i love it |
 |
traed said: wow i was cheering for Satoko to say it and she did lol OMG Takano that crazy 8!tch!!! 0_0 i actually called it before she said it, i always thought her suspicious and this explains a lot of things, like its not aliens for one thing, that was a lie lol So true. There were so many pieces of evidence pointing to her being the culprit. her fake thesis's to arouse suspicion and the way she kept on trying to ignore the warnings because she knew it was true. Not to mension the bodyguards were seen previously and also had that weird as uniform. I wish tehy would just develop a nuke or something and threaten to bomb tokyo or something to live their happy lives |

AtlasStruggles said: No her name had no meaning.If you are looking for a hint look at the first season in the ep where Keichi dies in the hospital by Mion's "ghost".Before that, Oishi tells to him that her corpse's time of death was before the festival,but Takano WAS in the festival.oh yeah, has anyone else noticed that her name is Takano MI-yo?? Mi!! Demon character (just like Sonozaki Mi-yon) I think that was a hint to show that she's possessed or something. |
| I knew it! It's always bugs be in the first season when it was revealed that "Takano" died 24 hours earlier, the time when the real Takano was walking, talking at the festival. I was thinking it's either a) lapses between alternate universes where two Takano both appeared or b) someone faked her death. |
 |
| What a bitch, it was pretty obvious though seeing as how she handed out the scrapbooks in every single arc leading up to this from season 1 |
| The sad thing i just realized is that everyone is going to die in the end, if you remember the first episode rena was the only one that survived, logicly that would mean she's the only one that makes it out alive |
| Now it all makes fu!#!@-sense ! I just hope now that rika manages to deduce that Takano is responsible for the ultimate destruction of Hinamizawa and manages to stop it in the next arc... Also i get the impression that Takano just called us idiots, since we also believed that something supernatural explained her dying a day before the festival :3 Also why didnt she sent Hannyu to spy on them ? Even more, everything would be so much easier if Hannyu helped more .... |
StonedAnime said: The sad thing i just realized is that everyone is going to die in the end, if you remember the first episode rena was the only one that survived, logicly that would mean she's the only one that makes it out alive Perhaps that only applies to a certain universe? Maybe Rika is just "reliving" in parallel universes , and because she spends some time in each one, the time she has for the next one is getting shorter. I cant really explain it that well, but if this was the case it would explain a lot of things . Perhaps there is one universe where Rika will live on along with her friends , thus continuing her life no matter what happened to the other 1000++ universes. |
| Nice 5. So does that mean Rena was infected once? Anyway. Explains a lot. So much for the patrol... Does explain what happens to the Dr. though. Also won't her uncle just come back years later? Or is he for life? Probably better if they just killed him with permission. Not that it seems to matter much since things still happened yet again. Also doesn't bring back her nii nii. Also I do feel for Rika. Even if you try to change fate, things will still happen. Sometimes worse. See where this goes. I might take a break for now though. Save some for later. |

| I was expecting that Takano was the guilty but poor Rika |
 |
| so it's Takano behind all this thing ehh? :/ poor Rika .. she's been trying not give up on Fate.. damn , from the first time I've seen Takano.. i know there's something behind her.. |
