| Here I was, convinced Rika put together that Satoko was the looper by recognizing how the horrible loops stopped after she started listening to Satoko and based on the suspicious stuff Satoko said (ex: "I believe your bad dreams will stop now"). I thought Rika changed the bear out on purpose to try and catch Satoko. That Rika said all that stuff about "loving Hinamizawa" to make Satoko drop her guard. The whole scene in Gou was set up in a way to imply that Rika purposefully switched out the trap for the bear to trick Satoko into revealing herself. But nope, Rika was 100% clueless and on board with the loop until Satoko just happened to react to the box. It was a "miracle" aka Rika did nothing and was fed the answer. It was pure happenstance Rika managed to figure out Satoko was the looper. For all Satoko's flaws, at least she actively tries to change her loops instead of just... letting things happen and hope things change on their own. Rika did not actively seek out or figure out the answer to the second looper. The answer was simply dropped on her lap. This is pretty bad writing, imo. Not to mention it is character regression in Rika. The end of the OG series was Rika learning that she can't just expect miracles to happen and that she has to work for her miracle. Now, her miracle happens with her doing nothing. Also, Rika not finding out on her own just makes her appear very stupid. Satoko's multiple strange lines, the strange looks she gave Rika, and the way the loops stopped when Rika started obeying Satoko, with Satoko basically even saying at one point: "Because you listened to what I said about the curse, the bad dreams will stop." The fact Rika, a person with over a hundred years of experience, can't figure something like that out is just silly. Imagine if this is indeed the backstory of Bernkastel... Bernkastel: I was trapped in a logic error for centuries. Person: Wow! That must have been difficult to get out of. Bernkastel: Actually it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. I literally did nothing and had all the answers and tools I needed to get out handed to me. |

At this point it feels like Ryukishi's goal is to make fun of his fanbase or something. I can't take this seriously, it's like this was written by a fan who has watched the original 10 years ago and forgot about all the details. |
| Now think why the Genius IQ Satoko didn't pretend that she was getting a memory leak like the rest of the club members were? She could have easily explained the box reaction as that. Why didn't she? Both Satoko and Rika and idiots, because the plot can't move forwards if everyone didn't have the brain capacity of an mouse, and that's an insult to mice! The moment you apply any semblance of common sense to SotsuGou it collapses in on itself with the elegance and nuance of a wet tissue |
