I hope that if Ryu-chan ever makes another WtC, he brings back Detective Delicious in some form. Man was the boss. He was sort of menacing at first, but turned out to be a complete bro. Easily one of my favorite Higurashi characters.

I really like him as a character and subversion of the archetype. He's an old cop who doesn't really play by the rules but still follows them. Old cops are usually rigid while it's the young cops that break the rules.

I remember awhile back someone criticizing that anime is idealized to a large degree, with how bland or perfect characters are, and how there aren't really any fat people. Other than that girl from the LWA movie who was fat because her character is that she only eats, most characters are not fat or overweight without it being a joke or them being a father.

Oishi is the perfect representation of that. He's his own character, somewhat overweight but still in shape and strong, and it doesn't have any overtly stereotypical points about who he is as a character.

God, I love Ryukishi as a writer.

I dunno, his story was rather closed.
