One theory has it that there's a time limit, just like how Hanyuu's power is getting weaker per "reset".

The other theory, which seems that the anime might be supporting (?), is that Saikoroshi-hen is the real ending to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, where Matsuribayashi-hen was only there to explain and fill in all the missing history. Theory suggests that for some unknown reason, Rika was killed (perhaps by Takano, who escaped the institute), and thus another "reset" was needed. Then we move to Saikoroshi-hen, which started from the end of Miotsukushi-hen (thus Hanyuu isn't physically there).

The way "adult Rika" shows up at the world where Miyoko got all her flags, which happened in Saikoroshi-hen world, (episode 24 part C) might be hinting that theory.
