Okay little by little it's connected now, i like how they show Shion is doing her research about the victim of Oyashiro-sama curse..

Now this is connected to the 2nd arc but from Shion perspective, and are Shion really hearing those footsteps, or?

This was actually brought back another confusion. Shion actually received the same experience as a cursed people there. But, she also sign the same madness 'demon' side like Mion while in her apartment room. The situations became complex when Keiichi arrived to her live. The memories came back again, because Keiichi held the same behaviour and habit like Satoshi. The real question about whos right and wrong still blurry. As a cursed people, Shion might be wishes her family to died. But, she also needed one sacrificed. The deal with her 'demon' still unknown. And i shall clear myself that the whole Kotoko and these one actually a different storyline. Oh, well, absolutely, mindfucked me. The next one would be a blast. Either its a truth that Shion became a Mion and transformed all of the rampage under Mion's name, or a true devil was still under Mion soul as she always showed her jealousy against Shion. Everyone just a complete insane personal. Such an unfortunate, Rika had a less screen time over here. Because it might give me another hint about the real situations there.

But, one or two thing that became more clear now, at least for me, that the sound of a footstep was a sign of curse. Shion seemed to had the 'demon' side too. Keiichi really had the similarity to Satoshi. The answering and the real plot had a different scenario, while the plot still led into the truth. Well, as a conclusion, i hope the next one will closed the question about a zombie matter that became my main highlight at the second arc. Lets see....

Really great episode with a bunch of answers but, there's still a lot to unravel.

I am glad Mion didn't leave Shion behind, she has responsibility as a head but she still cares for Shion. And I am glad to see Keiichi again, it's been a while.

Damn, those footsteps are terrifying. I never liked being from behind so, that shit is disturbing. How exactly did Rena overcome the curse, is it because she went back to Hinamizawa? Well I am sure it will be answered eventually.

When reading the visual/sound novel, I was really creeped out by the thing about the extra footsteps and the thumping sound in the ritual tools shed only Shion could hear, but it will be explained later. Hang in there, folks.

Takano san knew too much... Those knocking on wood inside the storage that followed Shion reminded me of Edgar Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". And now blood will hit the fan I guess.

If anyone's confused, it's basically the second timeline from a different perspective so that we understand what was going on in the second loop.

Are all the 'spirited' people under that swamp? Won't know until someone clears that area and checks if there really are decomposing bodies in there.

I was hating on Mion but she re-achieved my respect for her when she showed that she too had her nails ripped out.

Shion saw Satoshi in Keiichi. And she was jealous of Mion getting to love someone she fell for. Over time, she too fell for Keiichi.

So Shion went to the shrine to get clues about Satoshi and asked Keiichi since she knew Mion liked Keiichi and wouldn't do anything to them if they got caught.

Also, Shion really did hear those thumping/tapping sounds but she lied to Keiichi and made it look like she was joking.

So has Shion really been seeing the actual deity ever since she had been to the shrine or was it just her paranoia?
