What he left was most likely just instructions on how to stop the calamity. Like I said in that post you quoted, his leaving something there wasn't to save people, but to tell that he saved people. In other words, what he left was a message of some form about how he managed to save people or something akin to that. Not some part of an ornate mechanism that would make the curse stop if that thing was left there.

I'd really like to know the reasoning behind the Akazawa = Kouichi's mother theory, as I don't understand where it comes from. It seems pretty random to me.

Was that scene realistic? I don't think so. Given the way he was cutting, he would have had blood streaming down his neck and then into it. He would have been choking on his own blood. When he reached the arteries blood might have started spraying, but it was clearly exaggerated. But does anyone really care? It would have been a pretty boring scene to most people if you saw red streaming down his neck, and then heard him gurgling and choking. It's much more dramatic this way. As a work of fiction, it can get away with not being 100% realistic.

Having said that, the more I think about it, the less likely it seems that Akazawa is Ritsuko. I already mentioned further upthread that it wouldn't explain why Sakakibara would need his memories of a year and a half ago altered. Since everyone's memories are suspect, a half-remembered connection anyone in the area shares could mean anything. The key conceit in Another is the memory alteration. It's a contrivance, but if you suspend your disbelief for that, everything else works, and it makes it impossible to form a truly air-tight theory, since no character's body of knowledge is entirely reliable, even those giving the infodumps. All we can do is eliminate the impossible, and try to find potential theories that work from the perspective of the drama. The fun of that, at least to me, is delving into the darker implications. On an unrelated note, I am saddened that they're going to the beach next. I was really looking forward to putting on my troll face and coming in here after a particularly gruesome death to ask if we're ever going to get a beach episode. |

About Akazawa, I think she had a thing for Kouichi when he visited Yomiyama 1.5 years ago. She forgot it when their memories were altered but it's still buried deep within her, hence her desire to study in Tokyo (since they obviously had to part when Kouichi had to return to Tokyo).
And yes, I'm shipping. |

It's always possible that there's something to the phenomenon that either hasn't been explained, is unknown, or is misunderstood by the characters. If we assume that isn't the case, though, then I don't see how Akazawa could be Ritsuko.

I think there is no such things as curse... its those peoples believes that is killing them.... denying something that really exist.... they simply freak out after realizing what is real and refuses to accept it... which results to accidents that causes their death and thus causes false believes to arise to worsen things up....
....in short... paranoid... |

Her brother died in class 3 in 1996,she could have died the same year. She's the only one in the class that feels like she's seen Kouichi before,maybe they somehow met just before she died when he was in town 18 months ago which is why he doesn't remember his last visit?

Geez, when Mikami announced the class trip, I was expecting her to pull out a knife and do the exact same thing the other teacher did.
That guy in the coffee shop sounded pretty guilty about ending the curse halfway through the year... maybe he somehow found out the Another and took their life? Maybe even at the shrine? Better yet, didn't two people die that August? Maybe he wasn't sure which was the Another so he just killed both of them. So he got lucky and killed the real Another, but he also killed an innocent person. As for the identity of the Another... everyone's saying it's Akazawa, but what if it's the artist, Mochizuki? The quiet kid who likes to sit and paint twisted, somewhat demented things just seems like a typical suspect for being the reincarnation of a dead spirit. ...Not to mention he got away with acknowledging Mei right after the HNNNNNNNGH boy had his little "accident" ;P The familiar-hand thing feels like a red herring (or it might just link into a completely different plot point) and I think the Another might turn out to be someone totally unexpected or someone who had little indication given to their identity. Great episode, though ^_^ I can't wait for the beach one. Last edited by Oyashiro; 2012-02-21 at 23:18. |

I don't have any problems with the beach episode. Indeed it could be really weird. Everyone trying hard having fun in that eerie atmosphere typical of this show. I didn't even call that fan-service. Talking about who is who, right now I was thinking who of the major characters has something that make him/her eligible to be the another. So far I can count Izumi with his brother's death. Kouichi with his aunt, his mother. Mei ... we don't know any of her relatives involved directly with the curse. So except for the cancer she is not in the same boat as her pals. The emo painter's sister was not in class 3-3, so neither him is eligible, so far. Any others? If I had to make a guess Chibiki could be the another, I get this feeling. He is the safest character and above suspicion we know so far. So, he is the butler.
