We know lmao

mion negs

Their my favorites too! Along side oishi aswell o(^▽^)o

what's takano then 🤔

@@vivvy_0 The driving force and the true entity of Higurashi obviously. 😊

What’s Satoko then? The last two seasons make her one of the main driving forces too, in a different way

@@DavidHosey1 Hurrican Satoko point, blank, period. Jokes aside both Satako and Takano are definitely one and the same as far as their twisted villainy goes (Satoko being the scariest of the two) so that would make them BOTH the driving forces and true entities of Higurashi. Not to mention that they were both Lambdadelta's pieces. 😉

@@mibukdesjarlais534 what about Shion

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Most Higurashi characters are on the table for future analysis.

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks! Please do pick the manga back up if you can because both it and the sound novel need more love. DEEN is a good gateway, but it really doesn't do these characters justice.

Thanks! You can help rectify that by spreading the love of these videos :D

Let's hope it remains that way

That's because Warudo Chaos did a flawless and FANTASTIC analysis, that's why!

Well, soon there'll be Dislikes.

There's one dislike >:0

@@jakepayne9707 R.i.p ;-;

IMO, from how Gou is shaping up atm, I feel Gou is Satoko's "arc" and everyone else is a side character. She never really had an arc all to herself - Tatarigoroshi she shares with Keiichi, who already has Onikakushi. So while a bit disappointing, I'm not surprised if this is how things turn out.

Rena is already the poster child of this series alongside with Rika though. I feel like the most underused character was Mion.

@@desubysnusnu I mean, the real least used character is Satoshi, I mean we didn’t even hear his name till arc 3, and he still seems to be in a coma after several years. For a show that is centered around Satoko you’d figure he’d play into the story more. Edit: in terms of Gou as a series, Satoshi is probably one of the most central characters in the original despite being absent for most of the story.

​@@InquisitorThomas I said this as a comment in another video, but I feel sometimes that Ryukishi himself has forgotten that Satoshi exists. And I say that only half-jokingly.

@@WarudoChaos Half-jokingly? He literally forgot about him until a few episodes ago. And even that seemed to be shoved aside as quickly as it was brought up. I don’t think anyone even cares in-universe.

We have 3 and a half seasons, with multiple movies and ova’s… She has about as much time in the show as everyone else save for Rika and Satoko, and at the same depth as the manga too

Until you realize she murdered Rika and Satako in arc 1, and Ryu bout to Troll the Satako theoriests lmao

I think Rena is going to be a looper.

@@rjmax3311 that's what I also think, her dialogues are just so random and weird sometimes.

@@crazy_pink_haired_bitch Both her and Rika have used the term bad dreams to describe the bad things happening. Dialogue for sure she's pretty much indirectly said she is. Nice name and profile picture btw.

@@rjmax3311 I have a video explaining a very detailed theory involving Rena and Mion, you should check it out. I bring up all the weird shit Rena says, and the inconsistencies of Satako being the only looper. For example, how Satako waits days after Rika dies to confront Mion in arc 2. Which tells me Satako wasnt sure if Mion killed Rika or not, and had to confirm that Rika was dead before she reset. Which means someone else is doing shit. Just a quick example

You can't. It's a crime. Do you want to police to convict you? Buy a poster or something!

Yes, I plan to do at least my favorite characters from Umineko, but just not sure when at the moment.

Eh..

She’s always had a major role, I don’t really get people saying stuff like this. She’s just as important or more important than all other non-looper or demon characters. Just cause a certain character or two are far more prominent rn cause of their abilities doesn’t mean she’s any less important. She’s actually more fleshed out and important in the anime than the other mediums imo

5 months after and this didn't age well.

@@loren5432 not really lol

@@loren5432 Unfortunately not :(

Several different volumes of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni manga. And the game is likely a modern expansion of the original game. I know three of them named Kizuna, Matsuri and the recent most being Ho. They adapt the original arcs of the original visual novel series and also add new chapters exploring the lore of the game.

The best excuse I can think of for Satako's behavior is to remember this isn't massacre chapter Satako. She never obtained any resolution that arc would have gave her.Not that I think it would matter much since it's leaning heavily towards Satako's upcoming actions mostly being Rika's fault(with Gou meaning karma and all). Which she kinda is since she dragged Satako along with her and didn't even consider whether she would like it at St. Lucia. Not that it would take a genius to know she wouldn't since even Keiichi pointed out that Rika would fit right in while thinking it's odd Satako is going with her.

An yes... Zenitsu.

regresed? how so? Matsuribayashi's Satoko is not Minagoroshi's Satoko. She never learned to rely on people.

Maybe we will see more of her if gou gets a season 2

There is a very small chance they will ever do something out of it other than make it an emotionally significant plot device. Otherwise, perhaps nothing. I think I read in the first arc in the intro to the chapter that Keiichi probably liked her. Though watching all the way to Tsumihoroboshi, I can't find any strong evidence that she likes him. Mind you, Keiichi calls both Rena and Mion(who secretly crushes on Keiichi) his best friends on various occasions so it's hard to tell for sure whose gonna be with who. The most you get is who has feelings for who. But otherwise, other than an enhancement of their emotional bonds, nothing.

I am assuming you are referring to Satokowashi-hen in Higurashi Gou. They were likely 20 in that. The likelihood of them marrying by that age was pretty low. But yeah, they didn't bother to mention any development in their relationships other than studying in the same university and still both hanging out with Mion.

ok

Bet you love using disposed weapons.

Is the husband killing the boyfriend something that actually happened? Where?

It's a quirk that signifies her childishness. Or at least the childishness of the front she puts on.

Unless having close friendships with people and having a mental illness that can drive her to violence counts as Yandere to you, I don't think she is one.

Tsumihoroboshi-hen is part of the Kai VN so literally 90% of the content in this video is Kai, technically speaking. Rena has a few character moments in Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi, but none of them approach anything near the depth of Tsumihoroboshi. If Miotsukushi was canon, that does serve as a "better" resolution to Rena's character arc, but sadly its canonicity is ambiguous, so I decided not to cover it. DEEN misses nearly all of the nuance of the source. DEEN's junkyard scene of Rena's confession covers like the last 1/10th of the original scene - it simply doesn't do justice to Rena's painstaking, complex, and complicated inner turmoil.

@@WarudoChaos Seeing that you are explaining the Visual Novel and the manga, I can say fair point on DEEN's adaptation. However, seeing that GOU is directly from Ryukishi07, we might be getting a new conclusion to Rena. See you around if you ever expand or remake this one.

@@WarudoChaos Well I guess it's safe to say at this point that Rena's story doesn't end at Season 1 of Higurashi or the manga, lol. I'll definitely be taking a look at some of your recent videos. However, it seems that Sotsu will be the new canon ending to the story, unlike the alt one in the manga.

The DEEN anime is fine on its own, especially as a gateway to Higurashi, but it's undeniable that it leaves so many critical character pieces on the cutting room floor. I feature Rena's junkyard monologue as a prime example: in DEEN, it's just this 30 second whatever scene, completely lifeless and forgettable, in both the VN and manga, it's a theatrically rousing climax wherein Rena exposes the raw pain and suffering that she's kept buried deep in her heart. Unless you can point to an example of a specific moment in DEEN that matches or exceeds its counterpart. Sotsu is also a poor example, particularly because of how Wataakashi completely botched what could have been an incredible Mion character arc. "She isn't tragedy fodder or a vehicle for empty shock value." sums it up perfectly. Credit: twitter.com/mionswife/status/1420801936308191238. If you disagree with this sentiment, then you just don't understand Mion at all.

@@WarudoChaos the scene you described of Rena’s junkyard scene is still extremely impactful in the anime, not even close to lifeless. I respect your opinion, however claiming that it lacks impact, effect, or life is missing the point to the degree of ignoring one medium in favor of the other. And for scenes that match or exceed the VN, it would be very easy to argue that various scenes are greatly enhanced through seeing and hearing the more active interactions through the eyes of the characters in the arc. From the slice of life moments in the club to the suspenseful thriller moments like Rena at Keiichi’s door to the painful/disturbing scenes like the fingernail press, it could easily be seen as better simply due to performances and cinematography taking center stage to help capitalize on the previously written stories. In the end it comes down to preference, and while the majority prefers the anime for its general way of storytelling I can definitely see the merits of the VN. Both are great, and I don’t think that one is objectively better than the other in virtually any regard As a Mion fan who absolutely understands her, I definitely disagree with these statements on Twitter. This is the first time I’ve heard anyone say anything like that, since most everyone thought it was a great Mion character arc. She is nothing like Shion under HS, which is emphasized time and time again throughout the entire arc. Just because a couple of the same actions are made doesn’t equate them, see the stellar ways that things are changed in the 1st and 3rd arcs of Gou and Sotsu. You’re right in saying and agreeing that she “isn’t tragedy fodder or a vehicle for empty shock value.” No one in this series is, that’s kinda the point of the entire story in the first place lol. They literally just spent an entire arc redeeming the least redeemable person in the series, turning them into a surprisingly deep character. For the 2nd arc of Gou and Sotsu, it truly is an incredible character arc for Mion. It shows her character and introspection in a genuinely interesting way that expects some amount of deeper thinking from the audience, instead of shoving the themes into your face with no subtlety at all. Subtlety is a great storytelling device, and it was employed well here. People who don’t get this either didn’t pay enough attention or simply don’t get Mion. Sorry if that sounds rude at all
