But why in this episode Rika died.The other issue is that K1 remembered a previous loop and thought that he was still being paranoid about Rena, and assumed that she was fine, when she wasn't fine at all. Rika missed this, and caused it to happen. Keiichi was still afraid about Rena because of that memory but Keiichi decided to become Rena's friend, and that's how it ended. |
| What an insane episode..... Anyway, the story seems to have to build up to Rena being the one to go bat shit insane which turned out to be true, but the "fight" between Rena and K1 raises a lot of questions. First of all, there is absolutely no way K1 survived being stabbed dozen of time with a knife like that, his organs must have been a fucking soap by now but the dude is talking normally after only 2 days of staying in hospital. Satoko and Rika were killed with the exact same weapon Rena stabbed K1 with, yet Rena was seemingly knocked out when K1 woke up. It's likey that K1 also have lvl5 syndrom to some extent. |
| There’s definitely something off about this adaptation, and I’m not talking about how all events were changed. The scenes are just not scary at all, or not enough at least All in all great episode, it did good in setting the mood, bus as I said, the scenes were not that scary. While I can tell you that the 2006 vers. made me shit my pants countless times Anyways, how did Keiichi survived after all those stabbings LMAO that fight was intense asf but it made no sense at all |
| KEIICHI JUST GOT SHIT ON HEAVILY THIS EPISODE...dark vibes of thrill. The various red flags of this Onidamashi-hen arc strewn around should've been an indication to Keiichi of Rena and her goal to kill him before he picks up what's truly going on. Seriously, the scene of Keiichi being stabbed frantically by Rena is just like School Days with all the carnage, and yet "anime logic" still proves that Keiichi can escape with THAT many bruises. OH BOY...he should've been dead by such a tragic massacre. Even Rika and Satoko on a killing spree...Oyashiro-sama's curse is passed onto Keiichi? Not to say that I've enjoyed this as a newcomer thus far, but something feels off... Oh well, what a conclusion to the Onidamashi-hen arc. |

jaw20 said: Birdsanddrugs said: Wow stabby stabby with derp faces. Never thought I'd see something so hilarious. Horror show logic tho: It's the middle of the night and your folks aren't home. What a better time to let someone in and tape death flags all over your arse. I quite literally can't explain what's wrong with this take without spoiling the source material. The other issue is that K1 remembered a previous loop and thought that he was still being paranoid about Rena, and assumed that she was fine, when she wasn't fine at all. Rika missed this, and caused it to happen. |
 |
| Okay now we are truly in uncharted waters. That was... quite a different conclusion to the first arc That aside though I can't help but feel like this rendition simply isn't managing to capture the same kind of creepy and scary vibe as the original. Maybe it's partially because I know what's coming ahead of time but that's not all there is to it. The execution simply isn't as good either Also regarding the fight between Keiichi and Rena... how on Earth did Keiichi survive that? I mean seriously lol, that made no sense whatsoever |

| Wow. Just wow. Now that was *totally* different than the original. Big fan of it though! A bit shocked keiichi could survive all of those stabs.. but maybe Rena wasn't actually stabbing him that deep? Regardless, thrilling as heck. So excited for this series! |
jaw20 said: Birdsanddrugs said: Perhaps our main villain also remembered how bad it went for them in the OG and revised their actions to throw Rika off? I don't think Use spoiler tags please, not all people here watched/read the og |

| If Gou is a sequel of the anime, and not a remake, then this episode makes it very clear. But the only thing I don't get is that why isn't Rika Furude doing anything? After 100 years of struggle finally getting a good ending, she is now back at the loop hole, this time the world is really really messed up........whats going on? |
 |
| Okay, so, K1 surviving all those stabbings is kind of wut, but I did REALLY like this episode. Rika giving advice to K1 was really sweet but lol, she dun goofed, cause Rena was actually turning loopy. I did think this arc ended a bit too abrupt, and Mion giving K1 the news that literally all their friends have died could've been handled a bit more emotionally. Aside from that, really cool episode. Looking forward to Watadamashi-hen. |

Birdsanddrugs said: I don't really remember but I still remember some important points like Blonde Best Girl.Perhaps our main villain also remembered how bad it went for them in the OG and revised their actions to throw Rika off? I don't really know Higurashi, and yeah ... No idea. |
| Damn that ending, loved the differences already, but damn. |
| Okay, now we won’t have any is it a sequel or remake discussions. Rena stabbed Keiichi more than 20 times but he still has the energy to fight back and kill Rena(someone else might have killed her but we don’t know that yet). Keiichi’s built different. I have no idea how he was able to that but I’m glad there was a lot of blood in this episode. |

Perhaps our main villain also remembered how bad it went for them in the OG and revised their actions to throw Rika off? After a 100 year long june 1983, when Rika was finally able to leave the loop hole , which I mean is after Higurashi Rai,and this sequel which is Higurashi Gou, between this two there was something that happened that caused Rika to die and hanyuu sent her back. This time around maybe she wont just be tackling miyo takano, but also find out that flaw or mistake that she and hanyuu both missed, and that secret will be base of this sequel. Its just my speculation though. |

| Did they seriously censor the stabbing?!! |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Wow. Well. That was a lot. So, Onidamashi-hen was a version of Onikakushi-hen where Kinda cinches this as a really terrible place to start since it seems like Gou's whole deal is riffing off the original arcs and twisting our expectations of them as well as integrating parts of the answer arcs into the question ones. Keiichi surviving that many stab wounds AND after being left to bleed out on the floor with presumably his parents finding him the next day? I don't really buy that but alright I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Next arc is Watadamashi-hen instead of Watanagashi-hen. Seeing as how that arc played out originally I think I have some theories as to how the twisted Gou version could go. Either way we're about to get some RIGHTEOUS SHION CONTENT!!!!!! If you're a Higu virgin then you're about to meet the bestest girl of all. |

But she was tricked into thinking the loop was different than what we actually got. But I have some other things in mind, maybe she is searching for something new, a fault that caused her to die after Rai that caused Gou to start. You can't say that all the mysteries is over. After all gou means fate, and even after they changed their fate there was something like a mistake that brought her back. |
|
| You guys should keep in mind that the ending shows K1 having the same symptoms as Rena (scratching his neck), so |
 |
| This is not the first loop we witnessed before but it's just creepy and chilling . This episode was strong from start from finish . Especially , it was great for me as well as people who have seen the original because we thought we knew where this was going and boy were we wrong . And I am glad . Let's hope the rest are as good . Next up cotton deceiving |

| Love to hear rena laugh again after many years, cant wait for the mion one |

| WTF did i just watched?! Is this for real? Or some sort of dream-sequence? |
| Wait i wanna know |
taszarin said: That was really gruesome, oh my god. Looks like Keiichi lived but 3 of the others are dead? Maybe they're actually alive Nah he died, he scratched his neck. |
Holy shit this is intense and terrifying. |
| Ahh blood, this is why I love higurashi bummer that the knifing was censored :c . Tho I hardly doubt any human would be able to survive that much stabbing lol. But overall good episode. I am so glad this anime is back. People shouldn't confuse it with being a remake anymore. This episode definitely confirmed that its a sequel. |
gnze796 said: Why do I get the feeling that the one who was actually stabbing was Keichi and not Rena? I did not watch the OG series (and don't plan to), but I loved this episode. This is why Gou is not a good starting point. You're supposed to be watching this while knowing what happened originally so the Damashi arcs can pull the rug from under you and go haha jape it's actually different! |
|
| Okay, I think I get the drift of this season now. It's called Karma because the characters are getting their due for what they did in their previous respective arcs. IE instead of Keiichi going all murdery with the baseball bat, he instead got stabbed by the murder-filled Rena. |

gnze796 said: Why do I get the feeling that the one who was actually stabbing was Keichi and not Rena? I did not watch the OG series (and don't plan to), but I loved this episode. Definetly one of my fav of this season. Either Keichi has gone mad or everyone in Hinamizawa is crazy / cursed. Their parents being in Tokyo for a night is also very convenient. Can't wait for the next episode. Seriously watch S1 and S2 (Kai), then watch Gou. |
| My only question now is |

I'm real interested in finding out how that could play into Watanagashi since Meakashi was kind of already that. Either way I'm excited for it. |
