Shion made a big deal out of the fact that she wasn't Mion just before the distinction. After Ooishi had checked the family records, hiding Shion's existence even by killing her would not do much good.
I'm guessing the distinction is simply a punishment Shion endures for her actions. Still, great episode. I really liked the characterization of Mion that came out - Spoiler:

All I can say is that I am absolutely shocked at how wrong this makes me. I literally am not sure that I believe this outcome so far.
So everyone, what do you think? Different viewpoint of the exact same set of events, or different viewpoint and a (maybe only slightly) different set of events? |

two things:
Shion is allowed to exists after the Distinction. That's why she can now attend family gatherings as well. Although she is under the custody of her parents she does live half the time in that apartment. Meakashi and Watanagashi hen however similar aren't the same story. Although most of the events are similar. I'm hoping Studio Deen purposely skipped the one of the scariest part of Watanagashi Hen to be put in this arc. Specifically, the next EP ^^ カチャ つー つー |

Yeah great episode. But I still dont see why Shion/Mion from Watanagashi-hen blames Kei-chan for triggering the awakening of the demon in Shion/Mion because he didnt give Mion the doll. And what is up with Kei-chan's imitating of Satoshi-kun, it has happened so many times now that it cant be a coincident.

Is about time.. that we got the return of Keiichi. ^__^
So everything is starting to make sense now, well, at least the part about the curse and everything that surrounds it - the whole 'Where's Satoshi' is something still i'm not 100% sure about, and i have a feeling i'll be like that even after the anime has finished. Pretty upsetting really. I just want Shion & Satoshi to at least be able to spend five minutes together.. ;_;

What we seem to be seeing, is a repeating cycle of events with a
number of possible permutations playing themselves out over and over again. Theory: Spoiler:
And then there's this to think about: Spoiler:
My thoughts on Satoshi and his dissappearance: Spoiler:
Unless: Spoiler:
Also - some thoughts on Mion: Spoiler:
And one last thought: All of the killings that we are aware in this entire series of were all done in a conventional manner with no signs of supernatural power involved except the dissapearances and nobody really knows what happened there. My guess - lots of bones in the bottom of the swamp, and lots of secrets in the town.

the answer is.... both ^^
Every chapter is its own possiblity in the world of Higurashi. And by connecting the dots from chapter to chapter you'll start seeing the real picture. Although everything isn't revealed until Minagoroshi Hen (the true answer). Just like the first three, you collect and analyze what you know. From Himatsubushi ~ Minagoroshi, K1 has stepped down as the pt of view where the story is told. Actually, all those chapters are told from different characters pt of view. Don't know about chp 08 yet since it's not out tho. But there is one thing that bothers me from Watanagashi which wasn't suppose to happen in that arc, but I guess it's not going to matter in the end with the anime. |

I thought about that and my suspicion is that due to their
proximity in school there is no way to avoid her so might as well be friendly to keep the peace. Also with the Sonozaki family aware of her abuse they might have felt that is punishment enough. Shions' offense was that if there was an eventual union between herself and Satoshi there might be children which would be an offense to Sonozaki's far and wide I suspect. Another thing: Great moments in this one beyond the obvious big plot: Spoiler:
