![]() Well, Keiichi’s worry seems to have manifested strongly, though there’s no logical thread suggesting it was because of his actions. ![]() So before I go into Chapter 7, I suppose I’ll talk about 5 and 6. Since the beginning of the chapter proclaimed this to be the shortest scenario, I wonder if the narrative is about to diverge there. I wonder what the nature of Mion and Rena’s relationship is, given the diversity of their interactions to this point… Irie feels like a more matured Keiichi in a way: He still has some…typical Hinamizawa male traits, but overall he’s likable and mature.īetween the Satoshi plotline and Rena’s outburst, it seems some of the plot threads from Onikakushi might be coming back. I was certainly surprised to learn that single people in Japan are not allowed to adopt. It would also fit into the Keiichi/Satoshi narrative a bit. I’m probably not even close to the first person to guess this, but it seems quite probable to me. I’m going to call it now: Shion was interested in Satoshi romantically. The scene in the bathroom was slightly disturbing… He goes to bat for her( in one case, literally…) some and I like that a lot. I think it’s very nice to see a more positive relationship between her and Keiichi develop. I think overall, this one had a stronger start than the previous two, and I think it had more emotional weight within it.Īs I expected going in, this is Satoko’s chapter so far, and it’s rather humanizing compared to the earlier parts of the last two. This could tie, one way or another, into the “Watanagashi paradox”, since as mentioned above, the actions ascribed to Keiichi match up with those taken in earlier arcs.Īlright, I have read the first four chapters within this chapter, and judging by Keiichi’s thoughts at the end of it, this is a good spot to start talking. Looking at the interpretations here, it might be the case that it happened in both, but if Tatarigorishi starts later than Watanagashi I’ll have to check the timing. I was quite confused the first time around about the mention of the curry-making contest, considering it happened in a different arc. Looking over it again, it’s a bit more interesting as I now notice that it mentions manic depression, which was brought up (by Ooishi if memory serves me right) in Onikakushi. ![]() “Emergency”, another of the TIPS, made me curious the first time about whether some other authority might try to get involved with Satoko’s situation. “Record of Malice” is an interesting piece of the story, and it’s made even more intriguing by its mention at the end of someone apologizing, another possible parallel with Onikakushi. This is the first time I noticed Keiichi also contrasting himself to Satoshi, pointing out that he can’t be a perfect substitute. To account for a possibly unreliable narrator, I’ll take a viewpoint of subjectivity: we know Keiichi experienced killing Teppei, but it appears that Satoko may not have experienced the desired result of Keiichi’s act.Ĭomparisons of Keiichi to Satoshi are indeed a big thing this arc, more so than in Onikakushi-hen. After all, we see the “Watanagashi paradox” and the “Teppei paradox” from his perspective. Yeah, Keiichi was a highly suspicious character/narrator this time around, I think, and not just for killing someone.
