Few things would make me more suspicious of someone's capability in the medical profession than the offhand comment "She's okay, her eyes are just swirling a bit."

Also, the idea of a perverted character definitely falls apart when that character is a doctor, who actually does get to see people naked regularly.

So Tamako wants the old dudes to take responsibility for the killing of the villagers, that much makes sense now at least. But who is the woman to gains anything from that?

Oh, man, this is really the last arc, since Hanyuu already mentioned that they were possibly couldn't reloop to another world again if this one failed. Since every times the world has been changed drastically, Hanyuu decided to stop observing, and Rika still couldn't retained her past memories again. The time limit already reached its end! The plan must be success to prevent a worst scenario!

Its also revealed how the outsider peoples like Akasaka-san and Keiichi really brought a fresh breeze of change to Hinamizawa village by realizing the fact of Rika's prophecy and Keiichi still regain his past memories. Well, well, i think the synopsis already mentioned the main line of these episode, with everyone motivation. So i don't think i need to explain my understanding to this commentary.

Especially with the new characters like Hanyuu's origin, that white hair woman that helped Miyo at the previous episode. Then, How the great disaster of Hinamizawa became Miyo's advantages in the end. And its actually really caused by a deliberate conspiracy in Japanese higher-ups, issued from some political faction that fights each others for the sake of their own advantages to ruled the whole country. Lol.

Poor Hinamizawa village became a victim behind those conspirators. So, the goal was not to save Rika's friend, but also to the whole village. Damn, what an interesting revelations. I am pretty satisfied with these episode. However, i am still worry about Shion's absence. Lets move on to see how far they could arrange a plan to beats Miyo's absolute power to changed the fate. Lets cooperate with each others, guys!

Hau hau, I wanna take Hanyuu home too. Rena bondage is something I did not expect to see lmao, but that is not enough to stop Rena from taking Hanyuu home.

Great episode, here we go the final stretch. It's time for everyone to beat Takano's ass. Akasaka too is making his move.

At least now the plot is moving. Within five episodes, they have to stop the Takano and military force (or whatever they are called). I hope they don't rush it.

Wait.. So Hanyuu can appear in front of them as a normal person, and can bring someone back to life, and has been shown to do so a dozen of times. Doesn't that mean she could've in turn revived all of Hinamizawa and brought them all back? There's probably some plot thing that stops this that I don't know about though. Also, why doesn't she have any other power, like telepathy, flying, or that kind of stuff. Its way to convenient for the plot.

Rika is clever for using the manga story cover-up to ask others for ideas and help indirectly.

That's big brain power level over 9000

AKASAKA REMEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It got me really hyped, they for sure need manpower to beat Miyo.

After 7 arcs, Hanyuu is finally here and thankfully she also remembers.

So Hanyuu could just manifest into a physical body this whole time had she wanted to?!

That alone could've saved her & Rika from failing so many times!

And out of all the dumb questions the kids wanted to ask Hanyuu, ZERO asked "why do you have giant HORNS coming out of your head?!"

What's your favorite food? What color are your panties? - Those are the questions they wanted to ask. But why a person has freaking horns sticking out of their head? Nah, not important -_-

If the whole reason was "nobody can see them," then there should've been an explanation for that, or she should've just lost the horns when taking physical form. Hell, they haven't even told us why Hanyuu has been attached to Rika this whole time (though it was only shown to us beginning in Kai). She's "this land's god" and "a sacrifice meant to wash over the land" or something, but that doesn't really explain her origins or why she had to be attached to Rika for 100 years in a time loop.

That's fine if it's a mystery that'll be explained later, but given how the anime is progressing, I'm not holding my breath.

All mysteries are being revealed. So, the cause of the poisonous gas was not the volcano, but the organization.
