Well, about the weapon pics in the image thread...
In the bottom of every pic, there's a line written in japanese. Somebody has mentioned that they are big big spoilers. I wonder if anyone would kindly work on translating them OwO |

Well, umm, I was thinking about the Marker/Syringe picture which made many people went "ah, so it was ________!!". Some of the weapon pics might be useful providing hints and I personally believe that our game moderators won't go as far as translating one with big spoilers.
But...yes, now that you've mentioned it, maybe it's better not to seek for anything other than TIPS; they are useful enough. Playing along with what we're given is more exciting, right? Thank you for reminding that ^-^ (One of my bad habits is asking around for spoilers, I'm terribly sorry if that ever happen to bug anyone before =w=o) |

Dude--
That was definetly Mion on the phone, and perhaps even Mion in the library--I think Shion has already been "taken away as a sacrifice for Oyashiro-sama" and Mion was just trying to confirm whether or not K1 needed to be sacrificed as well. And, well...now she's confirmed that K1 does need to be sacrificed. All 3 families of Hinamizawa seem to have been against the Dam Construction, but the Furude family was attacked anyway--not only this, but the Sonozaki yakuza seem to have quite a bit of sway in this town. Mion seems to be directly linked to the murders in Watanagashi, yet only the Furude family supposedly has access to the shrine of Oyashiro-sama and the torture devices, which is peculiar.

I envisioned rapid-fire speculation from opposing viewpoints in this thread. If you're reading this, and if something is on your mind or you disagree with another's musings, then type something up and fire away...
Anyway, if I'm going to take a vague stab at what's going to happen in the next two episodes... Spoiler:

1. How did Mion find out? Tomitake was keeping an eye out, afterall. 2. If Mion really did get rid of Shion, why didn't she get rid of Keiichi at the same time, too? 3. If Mion is pretending to be Shion, then we know she'll switch back to Mion from time to time, since we see her at the school after the festival. So why is she still dressed up like Shion when she calls Keiichi? Another question I have, based on the TIPS, is why the padlock on the storeroom was changed in the first place. Was it all a cunning trap to lure Tomitake and Takano? |

2. She didn't get rid of K1 because the intel surrounding the break-in was ambiguous: or at least Mion wanted to believe it was. When she's on the phone with K1, she realizes that he was complicit in the break-in and reluctantly consigns herself to "sacrifice" him as well... 3. At school, Mion dresses noramally. Shion's disappearence in Okinomiya will have no bearing on their part of town the day after, anyway. When K1 is called to the library, it's Mion dressing as Shion--when Mion goes home later on and calls K1 from her bed, she's still wearing the clothers she disguised herslef with at the library.

Episode 6 (or 2.2 as I like to think of it now) answered a lot of questions! Sure it opened up a bunch of new possibilities (though I still don't go for the supernatural angle), but the things that happened were just as important as the things that were said.
Assumption time! Lets check my old ideas and throw in a few new ones. No closer to solid evidence on any solution (think it'll need to be 2.3 or 2,4 before there's anything like a pattern), but there are some boundaries and structure... Spoiler:
Last time I said that the show is actually visual novel - not just in inspiration, but in structure. The original visual novel was based off the more traditional interactive type and may even have been conceived as such, but for whatever reason was released as a set of linear stories. Still, in the original game and in the anime now, each chapter plays out like different paths in a traditional game. What's different? Thats supposed to be the key. Well now we've seen enough to hazard a few guesses. Spoiler:
Time to go read the TIPS before anymore theories!
