which is rare in itself...


so are they supposed to be sisters who just look very much alike or are they twins???

Mion is the oldest of the two, not Shion.., and they where both born in the same day in the same moment; as all twins almost always are..

But you know.., you can never "take out" two babies at once right.., henceforth the first baby to come out is declared the oldest one.
True that that makes Mion only older then Shion by a few minutes.., but it makes her older none the less.

So they are in fact twins, born in the same day, in the same moment.., Mion is only older because she was the first to come out of her mothers womb.

So, I have watched Higurashi until episode 8, but I have some questions:

1- The one in jail was Mion or Shion? Or there is no way of knowing that?
2- In the first scene of episode 5, Rika is killing herself with a knife while Mion/Shion(now I'm not sure of anything >.<)is watching her. The first scene in episode 1 did happen in episode 4, so why the scene at episode 5 didn't happen?

Just keep watching, Itachi. You'll get your answers later.

The answers are in the detective chapter, Meakashi-hen (Eps 16-21)

If we answer them for you here we'd be spoiling it

[Kisuke06]

Oh, I see. I tought that I had missed something. lol

I will keep watching the serie then.

KJ, thanks for filling in what the anime left out, but did you have to edit in the spoiler fo episode 21? I was reading it on the assumption that it covered stuff only up to episode eight, as that's as far as I've watched. I didn't need to know that right now.

I'm having a hard enough time liking this show as it is. Thanks for the rest though...

Wait, there's a lot that confused me about this episode.

Spoiler:

The demon Mion didn't (Or did she? It might've been mentioned in passing) end up killing Rena even though Rena was the one who initially made it awaken in the first place? Is this a clue to something important? Wait, they said Mion was already dead and... it was just an act by a completely different person? This is weird....

Also, I did accidentally spoil something on the show from the Wiki for this show a while back: Shion was in love with Satoshi but it was established that the real Shion was missing by this point. So why in episode 7 did the Mion (Or the person impersonating her) get so upset over Satoshi working so hard for his sister? It sounded like jealousy Does that mean it was Shion all along? If it was, why didn't the girl behind the bars correct Keiichi when he called her Shion? Was she just "Too scared"?

Keep watching, until ep.16-21, you'll undestand... most of them.
Minus your last question. Because anime was skipped. Go to play visual novel / listen drama cd / read manga... instead.

[OkamiNoKaze]

Wow, Bad end, again, It hurts the head to figure out theories of what I just watched.

Spoiler for episode 8:

I do like the theory of Shion being Mion, and vice versa to keep the heir safe

Some how I do think that was not who we thought it was in the cell. Well onward to the next chapter I suppose.
