Higurashi Episode 22 Discussion / Poll

[Kagami-Sama]

For me this is my fav ep. this ep pretty funny (especially the scene in Angel Mort)
but... there is something i don`t really get it. what king laugh Rena`s make when the shooting game ended ?
here`s the detail:
Keichi`s style: he..he...he...he !
Rena`s Style: (i think) ka..maka..maka..maka..maka..maka..na !!
But i don`t really sure about that.

I just noticed, in the dub at least, in Rena's flashback...her mom calls her 'Rena', not 'Reina' (Also Rina seems to call her 'Reina' but I think that's just her VA pronouncing it wrong so I don't count that as a mistake). Is that a mistake in the Japanese version as well? Is it just because the Anime didn't really need to distinguish 'Rena' and 'Reina'?

Spoiler:

I remember in Onikakushi that Ooishi told Keiichi her real name was 'Reina' when he said she was born in Hinamizawa, but I also know the Anime (at least season 1) doesn't explain why Rena changed her name and removed that 'i'. I'm just curious if this was a dub mistake/mispronunciation, or an Anime mistake in general to call her 'Rena' in the flashback.

Actually it was a mistake in the dub for Episode 22, where people who should call her "Reina" call her "Rena" (Mom and Rina), but for Episode 23 the dub fixes its mistake and Rina starts calling her Reina

But if that's the case, then the dub made a double-mistake. The only way Rina could know Rena's real name would be if she somehow knew the Ryuugu's previously, which is not the case.

Actually Rina calls her Reina in the Japanese version, so it's not a mistake

Unless Rina SOMEHOW knows that Rena's name is Reina, I'm holding to a mistake being made, including in the Japanese.

Maybe Mr. Ryuugu told Rina.

Hmmm, that's interesting, because her father does call her Reina in this episode.

This seems to be an interesting chapter, nice to see an arc focus on Rena a bit more, Good to see her "adowable" mode, having read the first arc in the manga recently, I realized they cut out a lot of that previously in the anime. While I was watching it I was almost thinking that what we see in episode one, is trying to dig "Ken-kun, back up after being thrown away again, though I could easily be wrong. On a different note, though it's an older game, I decided to make Rena and Shion/Mion, on Soul Calibur 3, if anyone is interested in the instructions, send a PM my way
