Looking at the stuff posted and given the nature of Kaku, I think its time I refined certain theories of mine since it may give some new evidence to solve a mystery I've been trying to solve for a while.

Spoiler for spoilers for 8th novel and outbreak:

This theory explains why Ooishi and Akasaka

Spoiler for same reason as above:

This also explains the reason

Spoiler for Great Hinimizawa Disaster details:

Which brings me to some more theories:

Spoiler for theory contains spoilers for 8th novel:

On a side note, anyone around here got video editing skills? All of this stuff is giving me some ideas for something that would be a great Animesuki Higurashi fandom collaboration project. We could even title the video (early prototype name)

Spoiler for spoilers for 8th novel and outbreak: Hinimizawa Syndrome is a water parasite, most likely spread via contaminated drinking water. Outbreak is the result of the L5 weapon getting out, which explains Irie's suicide. In addtion, HS has an alarming ID50 rate. This theory explains why Ooishi and Akasaka Spoiler for same reason as above: never get infected, since they would have no reason to drink the local water This also explains the reason Spoiler for Great Hinimizawa Disaster details: why such attention is dedicated to the destruction of the local swamp. Which brings me to some more theories: Spoiler for theory contains spoilers for 8th novel: Hinimizawa Syndrome is likely a virus, to be more specific, a highly specialized divergent polyoma virus, a group of DNA viruses known to be spread via contaminated water and have some form of stealth capacities/dormant asymptomatic state. Its method of action is more from brain chemistry corruption than outright cell death. Evidence for it being a virus comes from the manga using "pathogen" and "parasite" interchangeably, meaning that the term "parasite" is refering to its ecological definition rather than its clinical definition. The virus likely asymptomatically infects a local species of aquatic animal and is dispersed into the local water supply. Hinimizawa probably doesn't have water sanitation nearly to the quality of Okinomiya. However, this doesn't mean that Hinimizawa is a cesspool due to the theory of an alarmingly low ID50 (low numbers mean that it doesn't take many of them to infect 50% of a sample population. On a side note, anyone around here got video editing skills? All of this stuff is giving me some ideas for something that would be a great Animesuki Higurashi fandom collaboration project. We could even title the video (early prototype name) Spoiler for 8th novel spoilers: "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai: Hinimizawa Syndrome Explained." __________________ "For a bunch of guys on a mission to save the world, you sure do love your detours." -Gig: Soul Nomad Last edited by magnum12; 2013-09-26 at 23:13.
