Higurashi When They Cry Thread

[CyberAngel]

Spoilers for Higurashi Kai (Arcs 5-8) and Sotsu:

Spoiler:

Rena does kill Rina in Tsumihoroboshi (Arc 6) and also in Higurashi Sotsu, however that only happens due to Rena going L5 from Hinamizawa Syndrome which we know didn't happen in Onikakushi because she doesn't go insane in that chapter, only Keiichi does as seen when he remembers the events of Onikakushi in Tsumihoroboshi. It's more likely she seems anxious of the police in Onikakushi because Keiichi is going insane due to Hinamizawa Syndrome, Ooishi wanting dirt on the Okazaki family, and Rena's history with the police since while she didn't kill anyone in this loop, she did injure several students at her old school.

Oh, right, the last one explains it. I think Onikakushi only briefly mentions the incident at Rena's old school, but the answer arc shows it in more detail.

Spoilers of Onikakushi ending

Spoiler:

So supposedly, Keiichi could've killed himself brutally due to the mysterious drug that killed Tomitake: But what's strange is that he didn't get injected and killed Mion and Rena out of desperation. So, maybe the cause of his death was caused by Oyashiro-sama.

[CyberAngel]

Huh? Was Tomitake thing mentioned in the game or is it a spoiler you already knew?

It was explicitly told in the game, duh! Literally after the Watanagashi Festival in Onikakushi!!

[CyberAngel]

Oh, right. I do like how it's just a THEORY though, and you're free to guess what's going on. And also that the REAL cause is not even hinted at yet, but the things mentioned are part of it in a way.

I mean,

Spoiler:

Keiichi doesn't remember what happened after Mion and Rena pinned him down and he started attacking him. And once he becomes aware of what's happening again he can't find the needle. So it's left unclear whether or not he was injected or not. Plus Keiichi mentions how it could've been a hallucination so that's also a possibility.

Oh, that's how it happens in the game? Huh, anime's a bit different there.

Spoiler:

He tapes the syringe with a note to the back of the clock, but mysterious people clean it up so whatever.
