Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai - 04

Rika and a panicking Satoko
[Impressions] - 厄醒し編 - Disaster Awakening Chapter
The episode starts with the events in Watanagashi festival, Rika believes nothing could be changed as this wheel of fate is sealed, her death is inevitable. She runs out after the ritual dance and bumps into Tomitake, she warns him of his death and Takano and true enough, after a distance somewhere, Tomitake scratches his neck and dies. Satoko overhears everything but was shocked when she lied the next day Ooshi investigates on her. Meanwhile, Satoko realizes that she has been stalked by an unknown. She realizes no one believed her although Rika is aware of this but she believes what Satoko do will be inevitable in the end. Later on in the episode, the episode shows that Dr. Irie is dead as Satoko visits him, the inspector in charge assured Satoko of what she told him about the stalker, he will inform the local police station to get more patrols . However, that message did not reach there as he was shot by an unknown man with a pistol equipped with a silencer. At night, the “traps” Satoko set rang off as the unknown man closes in to Satoko and Rika’s house.
This episode fills up the gaps of what’s missing in the last arc in the previous season, Satoko will get more panicky and Rika will meet her eventual fate or things may take a twist. Satoko will need think of a plan to counter the myseterious stalker (or rather..a group of em :P). While Rika is aware of whats gonna happen, she is tired of trying to change the fate…I wonder when Hanyuu will make her apperarance as the next episode should the end of this anime exclusive arc. To all who is expecting more blood and gore or even scary scenes, be disappointed, that is not how HiguKai is all about imo.

Rika seems to be going nuts, sadly. But who wouldn’t after going through death again and again……poor Rika…
