That night, Shion is really getting paranoid by the curse, and decides to go and stab Keiichi. What follows is Shion getting shocked and dumping Mion in the well.

In any case, it’s clear now that the major culprit of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (at this point, probably Takano) also managed to kill Satoshi. Why does she reveal this only now? Couldn’t she just have told Shion the minute she found out, or the minute that Shion captured her? Talk about not making sense, sheesh. Why the heck did Mion wait so incredibly LONG to say this to Mion?! She had enough chances for this. Obaba actually approved Shion’s love for Satoshi, ever since she ripped off her nail. Obaba then said that the Sonozaki-Family did nothing at all regarding Satoshi. She also liked Satoshi, so she confronted Obaba. Shion will go back to Shion and get rescued, while Mion will return to Mion, get killed and fall in the well.Īnd now comes the part I really have issues with. It seems that I indeed was right: they’re going to switch places again. Did he do this in the second arc? In any case, Shion shocks Keiichi, and goes to Mion. And why did she tell Keiichi about the doll? Keiichi also starts crying. During the entire talk between Keiichi and Shion, Shion’s behaviour just doesn’t sound right if you compare this with when she killed the others. I’m sure that we didn’t get to hear this sentence during the second arc. Shion’s next sentence: “I plan to kill her after she hears the screams of all the people that died because of her”. Next up, Mion sees Keiichi, rejoices, sees Shion and screams.

Also, did Keiichi pat Shion on the head in the second arc? Shion also tells herself that she couldn’t tell whether she was Mion or Shion anymore, though later in the episode she shows no signs of this statement anymore. First of all, she’s way too calm, if you compare this to her actions before. In any case, Shion asks thirty minutes alone with Keiichi, and this is where the bad parts begin. Why did Mion freak out when she heard this? Because her name was mentioned? For some reason, the fact that Rena mentions that Satoko wasn’t supposed to come is left out. We then switch to the next day, when Keiichi and Rena talk to Shion. Shion then becomes more paranoid by the minute. Why would she do that? In any case, Satoko dies and Shion realizes that she didn’t hold herself to Satoshi’s last wish: to take care of Satoko. (Also notice that there’s no blood on the floor, even though it’s been gushing out of Satoko? Also notice that Satoko only seems to have one cut on each arm, even though Shion stabbed her multiple times?) Shion also tells Mion that she’ll let Satoko go if she says “I’m sorry” 1000 times. We then switch to the basement, and it seems that Shion tormented Mion by killing Satoko. We then switch to Rika’s and Satoko’s house and Shion freaks out again by the mention of Satoko. We first start with the phone call, which is indeed one of Shion’s plans. Basically, all that happens is the things I predicted two episodes back. I kept hoping for this episode to include some unexpected twist. There are so many things that don’t make any sense at all. I’ve really got some issues with the way this arc ended.
