I think this episode was well done. Sure they might've left out some interesting things such as explaining the post-war rise of the Sonozaki family, but time-wise they were able to incorporate as much detail as possible. But the doll? I wonder why the staff left that out...
Otherwise, we are now finished with Onikakushi and Watanagashi. Onwards to Tatarigoroshi - while not as creepy as the previous two, it surely is going to be the most depressing. |

That's a very well thought out theory. But damn, you got all that from "Onee"? (゜Д゜;) If only I could tell you more... Last edited by Sushi-Y; 2006-05-24 at 15:39. |

This assumption may be the most close theory of what happened in Wata And here's what I think why Onee wanted to kill Satoko and possibly Imouto Spoiler:

The twins really mess with people's mind don't they? I doubt we'll be able to tell them apart for sure before the answer arcs, and I don't think we'll have all the answers even then.
From watching episode 5-8, I think I can make some educated guess, however. Assumption: Mion love K1 and is a good girl. Shion may or may not love K1 and she is a fu_knut. Going by this I think the first Mion we saw was the real Mion. Reason: Mion was sad that K1 gave the doll to Rena, and the mofo also commented how Mion was too "manly" for dolls. The Shion at Angel Mort the first time was Mion. Reason: Why would Shion care a rat arse what K1 think? They should've never met, and I doubt listening to your sister about her dream guy will make you blush to stranger. Also Shion should've been working there for quite some time, why would she be embarrass with a dress she wore everyday? That Shion was just too familiar to K1 to be someone that even Rena the Sherlock Holmes has never noticed before. Her sad look as K1 left also struck me as more Mion like than Shion. The Mion at school afterward should be Mion. Too comical and nervous to be Shion. Also she was embarrass about being a waitress the other day to change the subject immediately and ran away. Lunch box Shion is Mion. Proven in the episode. But notice how she mentioned about K1 being the customer, Mion should not know that, but she did. It is possible that Shion told her about the incident but I think she sounded like as if she experience the event herself. Back at school the Mion should be Mion. No need to swap there Although I would like to mention why would Mion work at all? What the hell kind of Yakuza lord with supernatural power work in a store as a clerk or work as a waitress, shouldn't she be collecting "protection money" from stores? The Shion at the Angel mort the second time should be the real Shion. Reason: Well it was proven in the episode, but something buged me. The Shion here was a confident girl who seem to be able to rip a new one out of those goons even without the zombies...I meant villagers help, not the timid Shion we saw at the begining of the episode. She was also a good liar, a smooth talker and very manupulative. Very different from the stuttering fool at the begining of the episode. Finally the Mion at the end of episode 5 should be Mion. Also notice how the sad look on Mion's face match that sad "Shion"s face after K1 left Angel Mort the first time. Anyway I am sleepy now, I will continue to make more guesses in other episodes after I rewatch them a couple time first. |

But is there any decisive proof to support that claim? Or is this nothing more than a theory?
With respect it is an interesting theory and as possible as it is I seriously think that's a little extreme. Would they really completely forget who they really are? However I do look forward to the rest of the episodes to see if your theory holds true.

Likewise, I really look forward to Meakaishi-hen. But Satoko's chapter comes first for now.

Make no mistake, even with the game, it's still all but impossible to predict the "truth" with 100% accuracy. If you had a theory that was anywhere *close* to the truth, then that's enough for a "pass". |

Damn this show is confusing. Everyone here keeps making their own theory about who is who but what I'm wondering is what is the motive for all the killing? Why mass murder? Why kill your own sibling? The more I watch this show, the more confused I get =p

Sigh... I still like my triplets theory. There's Mion, Shion, and .....oh I dunno, Prion (Plion), who has the mad cow disease and looks like a walking corpse. This explains everything.
I still haven't gotten to waitress Shion in Watanagashi-hen(game), and Satoko's anime story is going to air soon :/ The only thing that comes to mind about Sushi-Y's Onee clue is, why is Shion still calling Mion onee after all the torture? Why not anee, nee, or simply てめ~~?

This episode was just "WTF!" all the way through, but its just what i wanted from a Higurashi anime, really good stuff.
It makes sense at the end about what happened, its just why/how it happened - and the fact that we didn't see the scene with Rika killing herself from the start of the chapter as got me wondering a lot more. I knew what was going on with Shion all along.. damn you Higurashi fan book. ^^; Nexted chapter looks really good.. Spoiler:
