"now this is the important part" then interupted and have to wait for next eps...
Matsunaga said he want to confess his sin and reveal the method to stop the curse in the tape, i guess both are related, maybe something like u have to kill one of the student to stop it, that is why he said it is a sin oh now we know using umbrella on a hill is bad idea

But if the Another isn't Reiko: Probably because it isn't malicious (even following my reasoning from my previous posts) and may not be entirely consistent (the "nonexistence" countermeasure works 50% of the time and there's no discernible reason why it fails, and the phenomenon doesn't always kill people for doing things related to it). The phenomenon isn't out for blood; death is just drawn to Class 3 in a very matter-of-fact way. |

Yeah, but by allowing everyone to live, it risks somebody finding out how to counter it, right?
In other words: It killing (for example) Nakao for getting too close makes no sense. Not only did Nakao never hear the info, but there were other targets more 'dangerous'. Which IMHO is enough to disprove the fact that the phemonena is something sentient, or if it is, it is at least not actively trying to protect itself. If it WERE actively trying to protect itself, then it really isn't very good at it. |

Right, that's why I said it isn't consistent (and again, I'm not arguing that it's sentient). We already have evidence that almost nothing about the phenomenon follows a direct pattern -- some years there's no extra student and some years countermeasures fail inexplicably. My point is that just by being connected with the logical targets on that beach, Reiko and Matsunaga, Nakao made himself a target, even though he was obviously not the best target (and probably the worst of that group).

Matsunaga isn't connected to the current class 3 though. Carsick Guy has always been a target for being in the class to begin with. And unless the time comes where we actually understand more about how victims are chosen... I'd rather not make any assumptions about it.

No, more like opening an umbrella in the midst of a thunderstorm is a bad idea. But this should be common sense, as lightning usually strikes at the highest point. Sadly, some of the students seem to lack just that and put themselves at risk, usually with fatal result.

Is it unsafe to carry an umbrella during a thunderstorm? Quote:

Even without that such circumstantial evidence, that were a handful of other scenes in which Sugiura and Nakao were pictured together. So, if nothing else, it's more than likely that both of them were very good friends. Hence Sugiura's shell-shocked state at the start of this episode after, presumably, attending Nakao's funeral. |

And you are right that an increase in death will force the students to investigate faster - so it is a race against time and each other for both the curse and the students. I don't think, personally, that the curse is sentient per se but there may be elements that are at work to protect it. I vaguely remember at the beginning of the series something along the line that the class gets closer to death each time the calamity happens? That they are more or more easily invaded by apparitions? But my memory could be wrong...
