What am I doing wrong? I have to enter there from Taraimawashi, or do I have to enter Onikakushi and wait for the option to give the doll to Rena appears? Someone, please help.

First I don't know how can the game "end suddenly without entering any specific arcs". Taraimawashi-hen is always there as the fallback arc that you enter in case you don't meet any requirments to enter other arcs.

Entering Watanagashi-hen actaully requires quite a few requirments
1. Need to have beaten at least the game once. (Tarai or Oni)
2. Partner = Mion
3. On the 7th day event, give the doll to Rena.
4. Mion 1: Comment on how "Mion" is cute (if you don't have this option it means you didn't read the TIPS)

I think that's about it.

[Roll]

Oh~ I see! I didn't had read the TIPS! Thank you! And that about the game finishing suddenly, it was because I pushed start without knowing that doing it, forwards the game to the next option choosing (I realized it a few minutes ago)... thing is, there was no more options to choose, so I suppose I went through Taraimawashi... But, something did appear that previously didn't! I had to choose between 2 options (I don't know japanese, so I dont know what did it say! ^^U) And one got me outside, with the teacher and the rest, and the other one lead me to inside games... But thanks again! See you!

er... since the matsuribayarashi got changed to another ending , is there still the iron-fist akasaka??

[Rias]

still there. The main difference between Miotsukushi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen is the stance Hanyuu takes (which is actually a mistake by the scenario writer and caused some uproar among fans). Miotsukushi-hen incorporates back Rule X and Rule Z, which was pretty much non-existing in Matsuribayashi-hen, and thus was way more realistic than the way Matsuribayashi-hen was set up. However, it doesn't have the Kakera Musubi part, which means ALOT of background infomation is missing.

[Roll]

Hey Rias! Sorry for asking, but Tatarigoroshi-hen does have any other requirements? I still haven't tried to enter it, but I'm asking just to be aware, in anticipation...

[MrZombie]

The only real requirement is to be as nice as possible to Satoko.

[Roll]

Ok, I will try it right away, thanks MrZombie!

[MrZombie]

The easiest way to get that started is to not go to the dump with Rena after the tour.

[Roll]

Weee! I'm already going through Tsukiotoshi-hen! I can't wait to see which surprises awaits for me in this arc! I hope I can understand this one... Almost went through Tatarigoroshi-hen again >.> Those memory saves in mid-game are a miracle, indeed!

If someone can pm me a telling of that arc and the others of the game, I would be very grateful with him/her for the rest of his/her life :3... I really want to know what happens there and how is the ending...

PS: Don't worry about spoilers! I really don't care... (If you PM me, of course, if you decide to post here, don't forget the always useful spoiler tag ; D)

Since it seems that no one has replied yet I was wondering if someone could spoiler the ending to Miotsukushi-hen for me. Well, that and Tsukiotoshi-hen since I keep hearing about how that has the darkest storyline for the series and still haven't heard just what happens in it

[Sterling01]

You want spoilers to Miotsukushi-hen....

Well I give you a big one....

Are you ready....?

Spoiler for Miotsukushi-hen:

Takano Kills God

[Klashikari]

^ Huh...? As far as I could check that scene, it isn't like this

Spoiler for End of Miotsukushi-hen:

Hanyuu protected Takano from the Banken attack

That's completely different, until I misunderstood the scene completely.

[Sterling01]

It''s still Takano's fault.

Though you may be right as I haven't played it in a long time

[Ginrai]

If possible, can someone expand on that?

Spoiler for Spoiler for Miotsukushi-hen:

I thought that in Hanyuu just wasn't around in Miotsukushi-hen which is why Rika realized that this was her last chance. And just what happened to Takano in the end? I'd be surprised if she would be allowed to live after doing that.

And can someone explain what happens in Tsukiotoshi-hen?

[MarthX]

A good summary of the entire arc would be nice.

Well, I finished reading Tsukiotoshi-hen, and this is what I understood.

Spoiler:

Teppei comes back to Hinamizawa and Satoko starts to be absent at school. Rena, Shion and Keiichi decide to kill Teppei, and they do, Satoko is still being absent, Rena, Rika and Keiichi went to Satoko's house and found Satoko and Shion dead. Later, Keiichi is at the garbage dump, and he finds "Shion", and Rena joins them, they Kill "Shion". They went to Satoko's house again, and burnt it with Satoko, Mion and Shion (It had to be those two, but I don't know who was who). Before escaping, Rena kills Keiichi too and leave him burning at the house as well, she goes to Furude Shrine and many Villagers start accosing her, but Ooishi's assistant came up in the right moment and saved her.

She starts running (I think that Kuma-chan was with her) and then the Yamainu appears and they kill Ooishi's assistant, Rena keeps running and hides in her Van, at the garbage dump. But the yamainu stills discovers and kills her.

Sorry if the story is not like that, but that was what I understood, I made my best to explain it xD.

[MrZombie]

Yeah that's pretty much it. I personally hated that arc. Tch. And I was so looking forward to it.

[Sterling01]

IMO I thought that Taraimawashi-hen had the darkest storyline

Spoiler for Taraimawashi-hen:

The hospital scene almost made me shed a tear
