Very intresting episode i will admit that it did make me a little sad. First Akasaka's wife dying was a shocker but thank goodness the child survives. i dont want to imagin that man if he would have lost them both i think that would be it for his sanity i am surpised he held it together as well as he did.
Rika knowing the future and knowing that she was going die was one of saddest things iv seen so far this chapter. having to live knowing you know when your time is up plus everyone elses. I was surpised when she asked for help she seemed so vulnarable then. There has been much speculation over weather you can change your destiny/Fate. That is a very hard question to answer. Some think that even knowing your future will already change it. While others beleive that no matter what you do its pre-destined i think Rika did not like this idea. Even if you think Rika changed her destiny in some way, we could never tell because that could have been part of her destiny as well. Im convienced that there is just no way to tell I also think that Rika was allowed to have this knowledge if the whole town was doomed there would be no one around to tell the story i think that Rika's real purpose was to meet Akasaka so that he could tell the story after she and the town were gone the same for Oishi. So basically everyone had a role to play weather they wanted to or not it was destined. but thats just my theory im still unsure of a few things. Such as Keiichi surviving but no mention of him in this episode. i know how Oishi survived so im clear on that one.

there are quite a few visual novels out there that follow a similar design as higurashi..in that each arc or branch is a parallel universe unto itself...so it's just as likely that in this parallel universe, either keichi died as well, or he never ended up in the town to begin with |

Well this arc compleatly twisted my mind.. to say the least ^^
I'd now better spoil tag this though Spoiler for a couple of speculations:
In the end I belive that most arcs clearly gaved us alot of answers that where used to compleat the previous ones.., altough this despite raising then alot more Other questions ^^ I have a feeling that the next 2 answer arcs will be more or less the same.., but hopefully by the end we can more or less view the big picture. I'm truly loving this anime.., I've almost forgotten about every other |

The next arcs after all, are the answer arcs. It should more explain the previous episodes and clear up on some things.

I still think people are thinking way too deeply into the twin thing, but whatever.
The logical camp took a serious blow from this last arch. Unless Rika overhead something at one of the family meetings (very possible), then there are some seriously weird things happening. I'm also finding it a bit harder to keep attributing "Oyashiro-sama mode" to a temporary psychosis of some sort. Unless there's something in the water other than that toxic gas, I'm not sure how nearly everyone in the town can drop into that creepy trance |

Some really odd thoughts came to mind while watching this and some of the
other arcs: If, in the end, the town is effectively DESTROYED by a lethal volcano gas, how does that please Oyashiro-sama? Wouldn't that being be out of the omnipotent being business then? What good is being an omnipotent God with no beings to be God to? If s/he requires occasional sacrifice, eliminating the town (which this being/god/demon) supposedly values, to the point of KILLING people who LEAVE the town or threatens it (dam builders anyone?) it doesn't make sense. So, my feeling is - Rika may very well have been possessed or had some telekinetic power as was Shion/Mion (not really sure but I think it's possible Shion was the evil one and Mion may very well have been a sweetiepie caught in the crossfire of her sisters machinations, we just don't know clearly yet). There's multiple things happening here. And I don't completely buy that the whole kit and kaboodle was supernatural happenings. I suspect 1/3rd was humans (drugs, hypnosis, mental illness), 1/3rd may very well have been supernatural events (rika? mion? shion?) and 1/3rd we just don't know. Show is driving me nuts. Spoiler:

You're on the right track, but thinking differently. Here's a hint so that you can discuss your theories in the general discussion thread: Which parts are similar, and which parts are different? And if different, why? |
