Higurashi Kai Episode 15 Discussion / Poll

[Rias]

This epsiode is just to show you Takano's motive:
It's not just to put her grandfather as a god by proving their theory, it's also to surpass god by taking down the local god, Oyashiro-sama.

It doesn't matter if her theory is correct or not, all it matters is that people believes in her theory.

[-MotokoAoyama-]

I think Takano is a bit mentally unstable later on anyway, so she basically mistook everything that Hifumi had told her. I'm sure he didn't mean killing off an entire village to get your name in history; only someone insane would think of that.

So yes, it doesn't matter whether the theory or her rationale is correct. As long as she has a strong belief in that nonsense, she'll bring it to life.

[Rias]

Her initial motive is to prove her grandfather's work. As to why she had to resort to such drastic measures such as eradicating the whole village, will be explained in Kakera Musubi.

[Sterling01]

There's one line in this episode thats a huge foreshadow to how unstable Takano is

[Matrim]

Takano's inner monlogue about her strong will was way too forced, IMO, it was the scriptwriters' way of saying "dear viewers, if you cannot be bothered to think a bit and work out why Takano succeeds so often we will make her explain it herself for your sake".
And Takano in the end became a bit overexcited for my taste, I prefer her "ice cool villain" mode. She pwned Hanyuu anyway but that's nothing new.

I think Takano is a bit mentally unstable later on anyway, so she basically mistook everything that Hifumi had told her. I'm sure he didn't mean killing off an entire village to get your name in history; only someone insane would think of that.

Killing aside, no scientist who respects himself would want his theories to be accepted only after he has created an elaborate hoax in order to come up with "proof" which is exactly what Takano does.

[kingsky123]

thats why takano's grandfather research wasnt accepted in the first place. because he doesnt wanna do it like takano.(proving it by any means necessary)

[Sterling01]

That wasn't the first time Takano got excited

[Mai Kawasumi]

even with that childhood... Why I don't feel sorry for her? D=

[Rayneing]

Because you're not meant to feel sorry for her?

Anyway I'm really looking forward to 'Putting the Pieces Together' now, I'm really interested in seeing the truth of everything. And then hopefully the main part of the story arc will kick all kinds of ass.

[dspr8_rugged]

Gave this episode an 8/10. It was supposedly a 7, but there's not enough words to explain how awesome that epilogue was. It was so good that the only way I can describe it is by having a new sig-avy combo.

Honestly, this episode was a conclusion of last week considering that 14 was rather a mess. It was nice to at least fill in those gaps that 14 left.

[Nemesis Zone]

mm the discussion is begin

but i dont see the episode 15 in the (anime suki series)

i wonder how much time it will take to post the episode

[Miko Miko]

I liked the episode.. Hanyuu! auau

Spoiler for quiestion:

how could Takano see Hanyuu now.. ? she was still in a spirit form thing wasn't she?

[Zeedox]

The orphanage and escape scene were good, but the rest felt weak. I can't really understand the praise part C gets.

Think how Shion, Keiichi, and Rena were like when they heard her

Spoiler:

But aren't characters in L4 or L5 only able to hear Hanyuu? Takano was able to see her as well. Furthermore, that scene took place years before the the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, so if Takano was in such an advanced state of the Hinamizawa syndrome you'd expect her to have clawed her throat out years ago. Besides, Hanyuu took a physical action by throwing the coin back at her, so my guess it that Hanyuu got so angry at Takano that she managed to make herself to appear before her.

My guess is that this time, Hanyuu got enough determination to materialize.

Hanyuu apparently made a special effort. It's not impossible, just difficult when dealing with someone who has no special sensitivity.

[Nemesis Zone]

No, nobody can. It is against the rules. Have patience young padawan, or failing that look at the guy who has episode recaps with screencaps. That's how I keep au courant.
