Sigh.
Ive been rewatching Higurashi latetly and hope there's still people around here to answers some of the questions I got XD.. eventually at least.. Im guessing no spoiler tags needed for 7 year old series? )) 1. In Watanagashi and Maekashi Rika kills herself after struggle with Shion.. I remember reading tips that pretty much everyone that didnt get killed by Shion lived on and neither the village getting gased nor villagers going berserk is mentioned. Does that mean that by killing herself Rika not only screwed over Takano and prevented her emergency manual getting started, but also proved that the "in 48 hours after queens death people will go berserk and murder each other" is actually wrong? I mean how much time had passed between Rika's death and Kei talking to Oishi in the hospital? At least couple of days. And sure Shion hearing Mion's voice and Kei hallucinating being attacked by Shion in the hospital could be atributed to the "48 hours", but no large-scale massacre seemed to be mentioned unless I missed it. 2. What's up with Rena's maniac-laughter in Onikakushi? I get that Kei is hallucinating, being paranoid. Lots of stuff being said to him still kinda make sense when you take the "paranoia distortion" into account. But just random lunatic laughter? I read the scene from Tatarigoroshi where Rena is confronted by Rika in the junk-yard. And when Rena announces that Rika is a fake, Rika starts to giggle since it's the first time anyone ever thought that. But it was still only a giggle. No mention of crazy, psychotic laughter from Rena's POV, even though this would probably be the most apropriate place to demonstrate. 3. Again in Onikakushi Mion talking about how she should've killed Oishi and was soft on him since it's his last year. What's that about? It can't be Kei's hallucination because he couldn't have known that Oishi will be retiring, though it is true as we find out later. |

2. I'm gonna presume she did laugh, but not like that, more like a little cute laugh, but Keiichi's paranoia made it seem she was just randomly laughing like a maniac. 3. I think she did say it, because Mion didn't get cats eyes.

Because of her resources (the Sonozaki family has been shown to have access to weapons and is a part of the Yakuza), she could been able to kill him.

wow, so I guess that TIPS about the aftemath of Maekashi turned out to be one of the most important, I guess )
A little bit unconviced about Rena's laugh, but oh well, to each their own paranoia I guess. Oh, remember one more thing that was bugging me - how the hell does Satoko push down 2 grown people at once? or even Kei? And did the game also have railings on the bridge and the cliff too? I mean for a 7 year old to push even one grown man is doubtfull, but two and through the railings on top of that... |

It's most likely that in both cases, Satoko simply provided at quick but powerful (adrenaline and all) shove to the upper mid section both times. The target would only have to lose balance for a moment and hit the railing for the railing to act as a fulcrum and do the rest.

Well like I've said before, the railing was probably old, I'm sure pushing someone into it would cause it to break.

So if she was that age, it could be possible she pushed her parents by the legs, they both fall onto the fence, the fence breaks, they fall with the fence thus killing them.

Well if it was an anime error, I guess it would explain how he went through the bars. I mean, a bridge with that many bars, it would be more realistic if K1 went over the top, not through bars that are only a couple of centimetres apart.
