| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- what the?! didn't Keiichi kill satoko's uncle? why is satoko's uncle still alive? oh, and, i really hate oishi in this episode. hehe. XD |
| What's happening in this episode? It's really confusing. |
     |
| I think Keiichi killed him, Shion moved the body, and Satoko was imagining he was still there. |
 |
| pime taradox! , is what I think. :P |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| WTFH#*!@$*@#$!(@$&!???? o_O o_O o_O Isn't Satoko's uncle liek... dead?? *majorly confused* @_@ |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| He probably rose from his grave Q_Q |
DarkShines said: i agree with pirokoHe probably rose from his grave Q_Q it has something to do with time the things they thought he did at the festival happened in the previous arc if you all remember :| so that just screws up my understanding of this plot:| gar, takano-san is suspicious cuz when she talked to him the night before she was all 'we never met' and etc....and next day bam it was like that. everything tht happened in the other arc happened heree:S except...in the other arc oishhi called keiichi and then they talked and such....wah this is all confusing 4 episodes done does this mean new arc? I barely understood this one:( |
| what, the fuck. :P |
 |
| wooo crazy wtf O.o i wonder if Satokos nii-nii (lol so cute to say it) came back and that was who was at the festival as Keiichi, they did seem alike |
| Great keichi getting nuts??? xD omfg i cant stop watching this serie tired like hell :o anyways up to the next ep ? its a new arc right ^^ Grtz lsumi o(^^)o |
| Born to live Born to die Born to be, crucified Give our souls and take our pride Bleeding for the harder styles Rising up, from the seed Born to change, history From the streets we unleash hell Feel the power, decibel!! d(^.^)b |
| And the suspense builds. o.o I'm kind of glad that the series was already complete by the time I'm watching it, I wouldn't want to wait a week to find out! I wonder what happened...is Keiichi delusional, or something intervened with Teppei's corpse or what. Takano always seems so cheerful when talking about morbid stuff, it's rather creepy. :P Oishi's a bit of a jerk in this arc, isn't he? I'm agreeing with traed so far, maybe it's Satoshi who went to the festival? After all, in the first episode of this arc it looked like Satoshi's body (the boy's hair was blond), so maybe he gets killed later on? |
| Mindfuuuuuuuuuck!D: |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| is each arc a different storyline that happen at the same place, like multiple universes type thing, or did they all happen at the same time? |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| I didn't know this series could get anymore confusing up until this point. There would to be two people who looked like Keiichi or Rena and Mion were just delusional in seeing him there since he clearly dug the grave. And he would have had to imagine killing Satoko's uncle as well. I'm assuming Takano killed the photographer. That had to have been his bike, but now she's dead. What in the world is going on here? This better not be the end to this arc! |
| I'm screwed.... wtf heppened? This is so confusing xD Either it's a huge cover-up, or poor Keiichi went mad. Then again, I can be wrong :P And a 5 episode-arc! I thought they would all last last 4 episodes. Now that you mention it, there's 26 episodes in this anime. :S |

You'll get your answers in the later episode and the clarification in the second season. ^^ LOL! Even rewatching this arc makes my mind confused. Hmmm... Gonna make a conclusion: DO NOT open when you haven't watched Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai or finished the series. |

I barely understood this one:( Your explanation is very original. I'm sure Stephen King can write a novel on it..... Remember the logo of this series, it has a blood ribbon forming a Moebius Ring (symbol of Infinity) Time loop and multiverses mixing together definitely is original (even though it's not exactly the truth...as I already sorta know the truth...) If that's true, then this could really have been Stephen King-level stuff.... And pure coincidence that I watched this episode the same as the pilot episode of Kurokami, which deals with horrible stories with people meeting another person exactly identical to them and dying shortly after.... Talking about strange stuff, I have experienced myself some weird stuffs before. It was back in high school, at the end of summer vacation, I discovered with panic that I can't find my locks. Then I was told by family that I never brought (two) locks back home. But in my memory, I was CERTAIN that I brought it home before leaving school for the summer. Therefore, they just "vanished".... And that's not the only thing that "vanished" over the years. Strangely, these objects were NEVER seen by my family other than the fact that I talked about to them about it. I wonder if I have mild delusions sometimes and these objects never existed in the first place.... |

| "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." Douglas Adams |
| I'm beginning to think it wasn't the uncle who abused her or something. Satoshi seems like the culprit somehow. Oh well, I guess we'll see next episode. Augh, and what's up with Shion appearing some arch's and not showing up in others? |
| Lmfao, I totally laughed when he said "Don't mind us, just carry on digging, think of us like a grove of trees" Ah Oishi xD ~Abs |
| o.o so we've creepy Rena again |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| there's something very wrong with Takano O.o |
| ....Amazing. I love this show. *A* |
     |
| WTF is going on here! and what a dick, that lolicon doctor! Totally believing him then suggesting they give him drugs when he's with other doctors! |
| :Confused look: Will this didn't make much sense at all. Is Satokos uncle still alive and Keiichi just delusional? Ooishi truly is a big a**hole in this arc though. |
| Keiichi...isnt a very good murderer. If these were normal circumstances, and all the characters were normal and not murderers themselves, Im sure Keiichi would have been found out a long time ago. I mean, sure he planed out the murder, but he didn't plan any alibis or excuses as to what he was doing other than killing someone. He was practically giving himself away every chance he got. So yeah, he should probably leave the murders to the pros. |
  |
| Why don't keiichi just go to satoko's house to see if that damn uncle is really alive FIRST? instead checking to see if the corpse is still buried in the sand-ground? |
| I'm so confused right now o_o and I thought that Umineko was confusing O_O |
Akagi said: I think Keiichi killed him, Shion moved the body, and Satoko was imagining he was still there. Yeah.. Or the blonde lady covered for him afterwords. Because if you think about it, she ended up not being the burnt corpse in the other chapter, right? Or am I wrong..? |
| that's freakin confusing man :S the guys from the police look like the ones that tried to kill him in the first arc no? |
| Wow, confuzzling! I think...Keiichi killed him, Takano dug up the body and resurrected Satako's uncle, and he went home~ Maybe like when there was a demon Mion, a Mion and a Shion? THERES A 5 IN THIS ARC!?! Oh wow! XD Takano HAS to be pulling the strings though... |

| Keichi looked like a complete idiot in this episode. Other than that - everything's nice and cool. Nothing happened, no one was killed, everyone living happily as usual. Except that poor Keichi... Seems like he suddenly developed some serious mental dissorder. I hope he'll be alright.:S |
| Another confusing situation with regard to dual souls, bodies, or what it was. However, I see a reference to the part of Mion and Shion when both dead and still showed up to Keiichi. but big WTF, i don't get it. and in every part (to now there were 3) Oishi is other person, other person has other character........... i don't get it o_o |
| awesome episode! At first I thought the girls knew he had killed Satoko's father and had mutually come up with a cover story in case the murder is discovered and investigated. I also thought that maybe he killed the wrong person. But now I'm not so sure. Either he really is delusional and thought he had commited the murder when in fact he didn't, or he's being punished by Oyashiro. BTW, I think Takano killed the photographer and had his body in the trunk of her car (and this is probably what had happened in the previous arcs). |
| What the hell happened what happen to the uncle where did the gas come from I want to know ,,,,,,,,,,,,O_0 |
| The police officer in this arc is a bad guy. It kind of suits him... |
| ok so the arcs are somehow connected?O.o wtf!? i guess it's useless to try and figure anything out :\ up to ep 13 :) |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Definitely my favourite arc so far, though I wonder what happens in the next (last?) episode of the arc... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Hmm longer arc this time huh?! Well,pretty good to see that the Keichi who has the main perspective in the series is the bad guy. |
| What the ...? |
| Alriiiight - that is funny. It would be more funny if in the end comes out that Keishii was dreaming how he kills the uncle :D :D it's clear it is not so, so why on earth is the dead body gone (if it was really dead)?? If it was moved from there, then why Satoko says he's alive... :? |
| What is going on???Where is the corpse?Hope next ep gives some answers... |
 |
| Where did the corpse go... The villain is Keiichi this time? |
| At first, I thought, "OH SHIT HE DIDN'T KILL THE UNCLE AND KILLED A RANDOM GUY" but then when Keichii/the officers didn't find a body, I'm totally like, "WTF." Doppelganger Keichii...? So bizarre. Gotta love the doctor who totally fakes Keichii out... yet totally lets him out of the hospital. And now that Takano is dead, I also wondered about "the trunk being full"... And then there's Satoko who says her uncle is still alive, but I think it's connected to Satoshi, too, and him being abusive... GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES. :D It breaks my brain so hard. <3 |
