This is a beautiful episode. What a surprise!

For a while I thought about how the time repeats could affect the people in Hinamizawa other than the club members, and here is the answer. I just didn't expect it to be Houjou Teppei first. Aside from his nightmares, his behavior change probably also because he saw a father having fun with his cute kid in the pachinko arcade. It genuinely touched me and made me cry. For the first time Satoko experienced the so called "miracle" that Rika always longs for. Satoko refusing Teppei's apology after remembering her past memories is understandable. She accused him of being selfish, but I'm sure he tried to do the right thing deep from his heart.

Also Satoko trying to name the witch is so cute. I'm sure Rena would be like "Hauuuu, ka'aii, omochikaeri!!!" if she saw that. XD

What is the name she accidentally chose? Eou, right? Or Oeu?

I hope the experience Satoko had will inspire her and make her come to terms with Rika soon.

Wow! Another twist to the story! I wasn't expecting him to appear again. I was mighty impressed after this episode was over. Well, anything that is erratic always has that effect on me.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Honestly, a fantastic episode.
It still doesn't excuse the shit he's done to her but just seeing Teppei changing his behaviour because of some "bad dreams" is interesting.

Not sure if she did this intentionally by looping but if only she could use her powers to establish better relationships with the people she knows like this episode instead of what her actual goal is.

Satoko didn't do it intentionally. It's one of the "miracles" that often happen in the sea of fragments, where the people are having "visions" resulted from repeating worlds from different fragments.

So Eau is the new "Oyashiro".

That's a nice side effect of her looping power I guess.

what did I just watch? this series really trying to make abusive douches like teppei likeable meanwhile ruining good guys like akasaka in previous arcs...? no. nope. sorry not buying this shit.

they're really backtracking on everything that kai was about and now I'm just failing to see the point of ruining a perfectly wholesome message with whatever all this mindless gore in gou is trying to say

Unexpected episode about Satoko's uncle, must be the first loop where he's actually reflecting on his actions. Wonder what's in store in the last episode though, seeing as there is a sequel with Sotsu.

Seeing Teppei being redeemed was honestly great and follows the series (Well Kai's) message that people can (And should be) redeemed, how this will play out? Who knows, but i'm liking it. One more to go!

So, loops are... sort of genetic? What? And Teppei is becoming a good person because of that?
Would be nice to see a Kai ending but without the abuse Satoko went by. That'd be a way too perfect ending.
