The one I see "stopping" moving between world is the one I call Frederica Bernkastel. Furude Rika is the original Rika who is present in each world before being "overwritten" by Frederica. Then we have the last one who emerged from all of this (and who is also narrating the Kakera scenes in the VN), who is Bernkastel, that entity which is the on present in Umineko, unless proved otherwise. Simply put, the "higher bernkastel" left in the Kakera world "central" point is the third layer.

Sniffle* So this is the end of the main story line? What a great way to end it. Some crazy philosophical stuff that doesn't end up being too pretentious. It ran very close to "moral of the day" but it did manage to avoid that.
Episode 3 left with one of the most difficult decisions in the series. Is it really ok to be selfish and go back to the world you wanted for at the cost of others? As Rika makes her decison, she begins to realize that Hanyuu was always there to help make her decisons. But this one, she must take responsibility, and take the risk of commuting a sin. Indeed, since Rika has spent the series as the innocent one, this totally flips the series over, as this entire arc already has. But it is the hard choices that make the person and we are all the sum of our experiences, even if we don't want to be. It's just not a good idea to be constantly pursuing what-ifs constantly. Only with this realization, only can they truly move on with their lives and this is truly the end of Higurashi. Spoiler:
10/10 for adding more insight to an already fascinating story. |

If I remember correctly, in the final episode(s) of kai, Shion covered Satoko's ears and explained that Satoshi was still alive, but that Satoko wouldn't be able to handle the news due to Satoshi still being comatose.
In short, I think they are saying Satoshi is still "away from home" in order to protect Satoko's state of mind. |

Voted 10/10 without a second thought.
Hanyu made one last fix to Rika's life. Things can finally end now. After following Higurashi for more than 2 years, I'm glad it all ends this way. Though it's a little sad, the next episode will be the last for Higurashi. Time to move on to Umineko I guess.... - but I will never forget the wonderful times I had following the story of Rika and her friends! *listening to Superscription of data

Honestly, I think the twin-switch explanation was just cut for time and to simplify things a bit. Hell, even in the games, isn't the switch only mentioned in a "tip" at the end of their arc? (I'm not completely sure about this though, mind you.)

In the VN, the switch is mostly explained by Mion's diary, so the fact they cut that part out is understandable. If they simply revealed it at the end of Meakashi-hen, it would have seemed too sudden. Hanyuu was corporeal when she and Rika spoke to Maebara Ichirou but incorporeal again afterwards. There's no reason to think she can't switch between the two states at will. |
