Speaking of Higurashi related dreams. I had one the night after I finish ep. 8 of Watanagashi-hen. I was chased by Mion or Shion with her hammer and nails. >.< I don't really remember what happened in the end because I woke up. When I did, I was like, "Whoa... this series is not good to watch right before you sleep."
Anyway, here's stuff I've gotten so far from this arc, and this is my prediction of Watanagashi-hen. Some of it might be really repetative since it's a summization of what I've gathered.
Mion or Shion:
Spoiler:
This obviously means that Mion and Shion has switched in Watanagashi-hen. Almost everyone has already realized this. Here's what I think:
When Kei-chan first meets Shion in Angel Mort, it had to be Shion. She tells him that her sister has told her about him. Keiichi doesn't believe her and think its actually Mion pretending to be more feminine.
Next, the bentou and the bullies. The person who gave the bentou was Mion dressed up as Shion. Mion probably told Shion about liking Keiichi, similar to how Shion told Mion she liked Satoshi. Shion allows her sister to dress up like her, and Mion, dress up as Shion, gives Kei-chan the bentou. It's also hinted to be Mion because Keiichi had told she and Rena that he was hungry and his parents weren't home. During the scene where he's about to return it, and he gets attacked by the delinquients, that had to be Mion, still pretending to be Shion. When I read the manga ch. 4, it went into more detail on the scene, and it actually showed the more "demon" side of her.
The one who took Keiichi into the Shrine had to be Shion, since, like someone else has mentioned, she probably wants revenge against Onibaba and Mion. To do this, she brings Keiichi into the Shrine to get him in trouble. After he leaves the shrine, Mion, Rena, Rika, and Sakoto meets up with him. There, Mion asks him if he went into the shrine and he lies. I still can't figure out which twin was the one that asked him the same question the second time.
In episode 7, during the latter scene, that had to be Shion. I figured this out after watching ep. 9 of Tatarigoroshi-hen. Shion likes Satoshi and blames Sakoto for all the pain she's caused him. She was probably also the person that caused the disappearance of Rika and Sakoto.
In episode 8, I'm guess the one in the cage was Mion and the one who's actually "Mion" is Shion. First, she listens to Rena, and from what we've seen in this answer arc, Shion is wary of Rena. Shion also never showed the tatoo that was supposed to be on her back since Rena stopped her.
Now the problem I'm having is who is who during the telephone scenes, and who stabbed Keiichi. Shion had supposedly jumped off her apartment window at the time Keiichi got stabbed, and we find out Mion has been in the well. As for that last scene in Watanagashi-hen, that was probably just Keiichi's imagination, since it was right after Oishi had told him the dead is walking.
Whew, that was long. Anyway, I'll try to figure out more during the telephone scenes and the last few parts after seeing the rest of this arc.
Now for the relationship between Satoshi and Keiichi:
Spoiler:
Let's compare this to what Keiichi did in Tatarigoroshi-hen, shall we? Satoshi called Mion to apologize for the other day. Mion hangs up on him and tells Shion. Shion then calls him pretending to be Mion. Satoshi tells Shion to bring Sakoto to the festival since he'll be doring something. Then they talk a bit about Oyashiro-sama and the curse.
In Tatarigoroshi-hen, we're believed that Keiichi called Mion. Now here's the problem. Who did he really call; Mion or Shion? It's hinted that its Mion since Shion is barely in the arc. In this arc, we see the actual scene of them at the festival. The one with the group could be Mion or Shion dressed up as Mion. If it was Shion dressed up as Mion, then where's the real Mion? Back home in her Estate? But it would make sense if Keiichi had called Mion during the arc, since she liked him and stuff.
Now for the actual murder. Satoshi called the aunt and told her he found a good chest that could be sold. She rode over to it and Satoshi beat her to death. We don't see his face, just a shadow of a person. I still think it's Satoshi since all evidence points to him. Keiichi, well, you know what he did. I don't feel like explaining it. In the end, Satoshi was believe to have "disappeared", while for Keiichi, the whole village got destroyed and he died a few days later after the interview. From what I've gather, both of them were experience some sort of influence, shall I say, of Oyashiro-sama. Satoshi feeling he's being watched, and Keiichi hearing the footsteps.
Okay, I don't exactly know what I wrote that last thing for since it was just basically a summerization of the 3rd arc and how it was related to Satoshi. I guess it helps me process my thoughts. Anyway, I'll come out with more once this arc finishes. And I must say, this is one of the longest posts I've ever written in all the forums I've been to so far, and I've been on a lot of forums.
