Episode 18: Bullet Summary and Screencaps Edit: screencaps are available. I already mentioned the missing pieces in the analysis 17. That said, there are still other "missing pieces", though most are just the gameboard. Unfortunately, no "BATSHIT" piece, aka Piece #51... yet. here is the order of the pieces of this episode : 33 (bit) => 35 => 03 + 37 => 32 => 31 => 16 => 08 => 33 (rest) => 34 => 36 they basically didn't swap anything, though Koizumi thing was already changed in the previous episode so. Excellent episode, as it was fairly enough to conclude the last tid bits of the past. They certainly skip some chunk... especially keiichi's father and Rena. However, Kudos for the nice "shortcut" for Satoshi and how he was portrayed, though the footsteps weren't creepy enough imho ^^" The quality was back at the top and we will finally reach the REAL start of Matsuribayashi-hen. |

Good epsiode, but the timing of the episode could've been done better. Pieces #3 (Red Capsule) and #37 (Ryuugu Rena) was cut way short, and various elements of the Houjou Aunt's murder (background details) was skipped. Ichiro's monologue in #33 should've been included, as that is one of the important element to why the Maebara family moved to Hinamizawa. This was all to allow for the longer part of piece #8, I guess.
It seems that they are alotting only 3 epsiodes for Kakera Musubi, and they have definitely left out quite a bit of minor details. Those who are intrested should definitely read up on the pieces on this forum. |
RAW for 18 is out.
Enjoy your weekly dose of gore and lolis. |
Ah finally. This is the part of the story I've been waiting for since the very first arc.

I liked the episode, but like Rias, I would rather that they give us a bit more detail about Rena and her encounter with Oyashiro-sama as well as Satoshi's murder.

I can't wait to see the reactions of people if they follow the story of Matsuribayashi-hen with no changes
Spoiler for Matsuribayashi-hen:
and how the hell are they going to explain the reason for Akasaka being there if they don't use Piece #51 |
Alright episode 18 is here and the good fight is close at hand.

From the previews, it looks like they are going straight into story instead of touching up the last few pieces, which probably means they might just get Akasaka to show up "randomly" like in Minagoroshi-hen, instead of the whole event in kakera-musubi...(which, kinda defeats the purpose of "setting the gameboard up for the last time", but then again, they never used the dice/gameboard imagery in the anime, unlike in the game)
And Teppei has appeared in the Dark Rika corner too much...it's like his 3rd time now :heh: |
wow...

Why do people think Satoshi is dead? There is nothing in the episode to implicate that Takano did anything to Satoshi she was just making a comment to Irie

People tend to over think things

If you add the fact that Irie cannot argue against Takano's authority about the true research of the Irie institution, it is normal to speculate that Satoshi was taken as a sample, as he is nearly bypassing the point of no return. The yamainu obviously covered Satoshi's "escape" (the false satoshi at the train station, for instance). So instead of using the same "excuse" for hozpitiliazing Satoko, they simply did another Onikakushi. 1 whole year, and Satoshi didn't appear yet, despite the C103 you can tell there are many indications that Satoshi isn't exactly in a good situation. Indeed, no confirmation, but it is the most obvious thing you can imagine after seeing this. |
Agree with Klashikari that things don't look good for Satoshi. If it was simply treating him then we would've heard something during the time we were looking at the series. Instead they made him 'vanish' and had his disapearance covered up. Either they attempted to treat him and the something went wrong or Takano got her way for another dissection.
Ire probably didn't have much choice on this one. He'd already shown the treatment could work so Takano could probably pull wanting to know more about the disease. Even if he wanted to help Satoshi there is a limit on his power in that situation. Suppose its possible that he's alive, but doesn't look all that promising for him. Makes sense why they kept the bear from getting to Satoko when I think on it. Satoshi only had limited funds so if he bought the bear then he wouldn't have enough to escape. Wonder if they bought off the guy who sold it to keep quiet. Don't think it's a case of overthinking. Just looking at what we saw, Takano's desire for more information, and no sign of Satoshi during the series. Not that I disliked the guy, but isn't much hope for him. |
The preview was funny. Rena now has a third target. And in the corner, Chibi Hanyuu is making weird and silly sounds before sliding away. Rika, however, seems to have a serious hangover. Too much drinking, I assume.

(Now, I don't think that M37 has a high probability to harbor intelligent life, it's estimated age is only about 300 million years. But about those beams, that's where I hope to learn more.) |
Since the first series, i've always been quite amazed with Satoshi's character, so it was good to have more freedom with his character in this episode. At the moment i have no idea what's happened to him, though with how the first series was aiming at Satoshi's disappearance, i always thought it would have something to do with him leaving the village. Maybe it is that, i have no idea, though i do hope things regarding Satoshi will not be left like this, that's what i'm hoping.
Rika & Hanyuu scene dressed in white was rather unexpected, lovely scene. |

lol, Keiichi's dad definitely got a lolicon fetish or something. Have you seen the camera shots directed at the girls' chests during their conversation?

i think its more like 'perverted'

If Ichirou wants to tape a bust, Rika is the last person he should point his camera at. Satoko is a better choice. She being an early bloomer.
|
Haha excellent. :D So that's how Keiichi ends up moving and their plan to secure his arrival in this world. Make use of his father's 'preferences' to lure the family there :heh:. That's Rika for you willing to do whatever it takes for victory.
After seeing some things in the series (like the Nekogoroshi-hen episode) wouldn't surprise me that being a lolicon runs in the family. |
