/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Well that was quite a ride, equal best with Tatarigoroshi for me. Ryu seemed to be chiding the people who rooted for K in Onikakushi, I know I sure did, by making Rena so over the top with her aliens bullshit. Its amazing how good he is at going from fun to horror and back to fun again.

Mystery-wise Takano is evil evil evil and apparently the characters can't get over their Sonozaki family meme theory (I wouldn't put it past Oryou/Kinzo, they're crazy!). I really want to hear what Rika thinks about it and who kills her every loop but she's working on limited information too since she dies before the disaster happens. I almost thought there'd be a happy end but they all die, again.

But here's my super amazing post Tsumihorboshi theory:
-Takano, Tomitake and Irie are the culprits along with Irie's goons I suppose (seen in Onikakushi, Tatrigoroshi, they're the ones who inflict external wounds on Tomitake)
-Takano uses her Junko Enoshima powers to turn someone crazy because Hinamizawan people have brain bugs
-It must be an illness or parasite because of the uniform symptoms of people affected (Shion, Satoshi, Rena and K all experience the paranoia, aggression, extra footstep and eventual throat scratch suicide).
-Thus someone is activated (Satoshi the year before and either K, Rena or Shion after), they commit murder and are then demoned away by Takano and the gang (very easy to hide corpses in Hinamizawa). To propagate the curse. Because Miyo's into that.
-Tomitake, who arrives in Hinamizawa every June (not suspicious), and Irie help Takano because reasons
-It likely went as above during the third and fourth years but the fifth was to keep the police occupied perhaps.
-Takano and Tomitake go into the shrine storage to mark themselves for death (Likely only Takano knows that's what they're doing)
-They leave and Tomitake is made into the curse victim against his will with the magic drug (thanks rika nipah)
-Takano then gets the fug out (Met with K in Tatarigoroshi), leaving a fake corpse in the mountains. She has Tomitake's bike as evidence of her guilt.
-She then prepares everything until the swamp is ready to kill everyone in the village. Again, to propagate the curse cause it gets her off.
-Irie offs himself instead of leaving (No idea why)
-Rika is also killed purposely because shes queen of the brain bugs (thanks rena)

By writing it out it shows still how little I completely understand but this seems to be a good outline from what I know so far. I'm also ignoring Endless 8 old hag Rika chama since it seems unrelated to the mystery and obviously supernatural.
