Didnt Takano already execute her plans tho?

And if she is truly under HS as the game implies, then 1, 2 or 10 people surpassing/being cured of HS wont change anything for her.

As Ssjokg mentioned, at that point the operation was already underway.
Also, even if Irie actually found a cure, I doubt that would have changed anything.
If it was cured, it would be cured in the utmost secrecy, and at this point Takano was all about deitifying the research. And the only way for that was to make a disaster big enough that it couldn't be silenced.


Yeah that makes sense. Even if Irie had found something out it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Either way it never mentions whether Rena's lapse into Sanity was temporary or permanent, so she could be just getting shots like Satoko.

Since the virus needs fear and paranoia to reach L5 naturally, maybe Rena's suddenly loosing them caused her HS. Guess the only person who can clarify that is Ryuukishi himself

Does anybody still come up with a good theory on how Satoko injects Mion with the H-173 vaccine when Satoko right behind her as she's getting a can from the vending machine?

Magic.

The best theory is one that doesnt involve a syringe.

Satoko realized that Mion always picks a certain beverage, then bought it, spiked it and gave it to her herself.

Now whether that would work, i dont know, I am not a doctor.

But there is no point in showing the syringe AND we didnt see multiple loops of that event to reinforce the theory that Satoko did something more than inject her directly.

The show basically tells you to imagine it on your own.

It's this the timeline where Teppei got redemption...
It's good to see him talking nice like this.

Satoko practicing how to use gun and purchasing gun too???
Just because she thought using Knife will not fun anymore.

Tbh, I don't even think Teppei is acting "nice", he's being quite pathetic.

Atleast in his redemption arc his personality made more sense.

It's not really about how she did it, it's more about the why she did it and what it implies. Which is why the show doesn't care to fully explain. It doesn't matter how.

It's all just another step in proving just how far Satoko will go to being an irredeemable POS and just how lost she is. She's supposed to be more determined to being a greater POS than Takano, that's all every arc is about. It's only hinted "maybe" at her own special little shitty arc Tatari she may finally realize how chaotic evil she is and come around to changing her evil ways... as if it'd matter. It won't because irredeemable means IRREDEEMABLE. Not like Rika could ever trust Goutoko ever again and not like us the audience should just forgive her.

They'll kill her, cop-out something something most likely a dream, Satoko and Rika become witch lesbian couple with a love that transcends beyond our mortal understanding because the author said so. Didn't you know? Higurashi was a witch erotica all along, "mysteries" are inconsequential to the true goal here. You're all focusing on the smaller details!

This! This is the problem.
Once you realise its Satoko and that she has a instant L5 drug. It should be easy for anyone to put together what happened in the damashi arcs.

They should have done this for all the answer arcs.

They go to the trouble of spelling out the simple solution in painful detail and time. Including repeating content, and dont bother to show us Satoko injecting Mion.

Did Ryuukishi forget about all that 'think about it yourself' and "dont stop thinking" from Umineko.

Part of me belives that a Mei anime adaptation would have added more stuff to Higu and WTC. I havent gont through Mei myself, but from what I heard its decent fan service, not in the same fever dream vein as Kira, but fun nonthless.

Kira has some of the best Animation Ive seen though. They adapted Deens character very well. I wish we had something like Kira for Umineko. Now that would be fun.

The meta world and EP8 is pure Kira content.

Satoko's reason for going after Mion has made one thing clear, at least. Gou and Sotsu were never truly about Satoko, her character assassination is only the vehicle for showing various what-if scenarios the original couldn't include.

Damn! Satoko uses her uncle to get herself a gun! And train for years!

So the one gunning down the Sonozaki family basement against Shion in Watadamashi is, most probably, Mion, affected by the H-170, from... canned drink?

From my knowledge in medicine, drugs/substances mixed with food/drink have different result compared to when they're administered directly to blood vessel. It all depends on what type of substance, though. I wonder what does the H-170 consist of. Chemical stimulant? Modified pathogen? Activated hormone?

Still, if Satoko plans to use Mion, why would she bother herself with learning how to use a gun?

It consists of whatever is more convenient to the writers. Don't give too much credit where it ain't due.

I want to entertain Eua-chan in my own way. hehe

I wish I also had a cute niece that will take care of me. I swear I will not do any crimes! hehe

Satoko has become such a devious criminal. I really wonder how she can be beaten.

Okay, so this episode Satoko actually says that Rika has 100 years of experience. So everything before Gou happened before Satoko joined the loop. But why did Reina go berserk back than and how did Satoko know where the cards were? I guess this time looping in Higurashi doesn't make much sense after all, still kinda fun to watch though.

So the whole carousel has become Satoko's personal playground, right? Altho so far i like it better than the relying on excessive graphical violence of large parts of early/mid GOU. I would prefer more drama instead of violence, personally. Can this series be called horror? Well it has some elements, but i find it overall to be more of drama/crime and even traces of thriller, personally. GOU was the most horror heavy so far, IMO.

Satoko's antics are getting more and more out of hand. I get that she wants the events of the original series to reoccur so she can mentally break Rika, but infecting Mion, who's never succumbed to the parasite, is a good way to set off red flags for Rika. If someone who never was infected suddenly becomes infected, that's good cause for suspicion. It seems her motive at this point is entertainment and pleasure. 

Additionally, there would be no way for her to infect Mion without her noticing. Think about how big that needle is; it would be hard to ignore.

Overall, despite this season's lacklustre mystery aspects, it is still interesting to see Rika and Satoko's from the shadows battle.
