Name a character more kind and loving than SatokoPro-tip: you can't!
>>283385765cunny \(TuT)/
Her uncle.
>>283385765Keiichi's wife is such a cute!
>>283385765Her brother is way better than Shitoko
Why does she cause so much seethe?
>>283387554Sextoko...
>>283387710>>283388696>>283390189Raging trannies who hate Satoko for no fucking reason
Even looking only at OG Satoko, Rena is objectively more kind and loving. She's also more likely to kill you but that's just because she cares.
>>283390189>Shoved her whore mother and step dad #462 off a cliff in the midst of a L5 breakdown fully believing they were going to kill her then and there>Never killed any of her friends in any of the loops we see only shoving Keiichi off that bridge fully believing he was already dead with a Demon taking the form of the one she loves most before killing her>Satoshi went insane from Satoko's worsening condition and the abuse he faced from his uncle and aunt, and Keiichi went insane from how much he loved Satoko and how powerless he was to save herThe most innocent character in the entire series who did absolutely nothing wrong
>>283390805>>283385765Consider this: Mion.
Which Higugirl has the most deranged fanbase?
>>283391824Mion is a coward, that isn't very kind
>>283392363You posted her.
>>283394995I don't really get Rikafags desu. With all the other girls, I can understand, especially Rena and Mion. But Rika's personality is a facade and her true one barely leaks out, which itself is just a depressed old drunk in the body of a child. She's not reliable and mostly just lets her friends die while being lazy and wallowing in self-pity. Her problems are alien to human experience and hard to relate to. And even if you're just a pedo, Satoko is sexier.Not saying I don't sympathize with the meeper but I don't understand people who call her waifu material
>>283395237I think the whole "dying for 100 years" reveal is enough to get lots of sympathy points. R07 probably was counting on this when writing the final chapters too, expecting most people won't blame Rika for the failed loops when he decided to avoid portraying Hanyuu negatively.The contrast between Rika's real personality and her usual act/body also is actually an appeal point too for Rika. Even though Hanyuu also has a serious/childish personality duality you hardly see official material or fanart pushing her serious personality as a charm point, unlike Rika's.
>>283395237You're a pedo if you like Rena and Mion too
>>283395701Aren't they both 16/17?
>>283396838Nope. Rena is 13, Mion and Keiichi are 14. There's only a 2 year difference between Rena and RikaLook it up if you don't believe me.
>>283396838Rena is 13 (although about to turn 14) and Mion is 14 during the main story. To be fair the art is very inconsistent.I think they look young in the first Deen season, but even Kai's redesigns seemed to make them all look like higher schoolers aside from Satoko and Rika who looked about as old as before.The manga also often made Mion and Rena look older too.Even Gou/Sotsu had trouble giving them different designs for the epilogue, where they're in high school (although they obviously look noticeably older for the earlier college club scene).
>>2833975624 years timeskip, but basically no difference. Then suddenly a growth spurt one year and a few months later when she returns during college.
>>283385765Satoko is the cutest, purest, bestest girl in the whole universe. I'm not even worthy of praising her, so may I be forgiven for this post.
>>283397735The angel known as Satoko Houjou will always forgive and accept you!!
>>283385765her brother
>>283392363Any other response besides Satokofags is wrong, it takes a certain type of mental illness to still obsess and seethe over something that came out 5 years ago
>>283395237Diagnosis: normalfag. Anyone with a real soul can understand Rika-chama.
>>283398556Her grace knows no bounds.
>>283388059Cute and Canon!
Tatarigoroshi is the best chapter.
>>283392363Each one has their own brand of insanity.
My wife's unsurpassed in sweetness and love
>>283397649Why does Rena like stupid hats so much.
>>283401347Rena has sense of fashion that a tastelet like you wouldn't understand
I’m sad Ciconia is practically dead
>>283401518It's safe to assume that it's dead forever. Ryukishi found out that he doesn't have the will or creativity to make a story that massive and complex, especially when only a small portion of people cared.
>>283401609A post on Twitter a month ago said that apparently he hasn’t abandoned it, who knows how true that is.https://x.com/HanamiDangos/status/1969359303480840552
>>283400925I'd pick RenaI want her to destroy me
>>283401518>>283401691I will unironically never forgive him if he doesn’t finish it.
>>283400925What about us haremchads?
>>283400925Now make Eua fag
>>283401347I assume it's tied to her being daughter of a former clothing designer.
Rena should crush Mion's face with her thighs
>>283405176This, except replace Mion with me
>>283405176she can crush anything with her cuteness
>>283385765Kill Satoko
>>283405394*SotsuGou Satoko
>>283390805Rena is actually the least likely to kill you considering she has had the highest level of untreated disorder and yet was, along with Mion, the only one who didn't kill any of her friends. The slut and ojiisan deserved it so it's ok>>283400699Minnagoroshi and 6 were better.
>>283405018Fair point, I forgot about that.
>>283405547She literally blows up the school along with all the hostages in each fragment where Keiichi doesn't stop her, and he only stops her in one. She's a terrorist.
>>283405394You wouldn't happen to be a blonde-haired, large-hipped woman who was orphaned as a child and has a serious eye drooping problem, would you?
>>283405705Oddly, her adult designs all go straight to grandma dresses.
>>283406836>Basedly, her adult designs all go straight to grandma dresses.FTFY
>>283406836We've never seen her in pants. I think she'd look great.
>>283405727She was right about everything INCLUDING aliens
>>283405727Cute terrorist
>>283400699Correct, Ryukishi hasn't be able to write something as gripping since>>283405547>Minagoroshi and 6 was better lmao
>>283400925Satoko is my everything, I love her so much. I would gladly die for her and kill for her if I needed too, nothing in my life pre and post meeting Satoko has ever filled that void she left in my heart
>>283409054Man, I want horror arcs in 84. Close to the original series, but also different enough due to school years and Oishi's retirement. They'd also obviously need a new plot and couldn't do the fake remake stuff again.
>>283409469I really don't know what could be done horror wise in 84 with Rika unable to timeloop unless you want to go with another Gou situation and add another looper to the mix. But I would still like to see arcs set in 84, considering how close Keiichi and Satoko got in just two nights imagine how close they'd become if they spent a whole year together...
>>283404773Are there even any Euafags left? Feels like they all left after S*tsugyou ended.
>>283400925I don't remember writing that about Shion
>>283410499were Euafags ever even a thing? She's a nothing character who only exists as a passing reference to featherine(another shit character).
>>283411160There was certainly a subset of anons lusting after her while the show was airing but of course no one’s going to commit to a non-character like her.
>>283407915>>283410977Cutetoko.
>>283410234They always find excuses for the loops restarting. Gou, Rei and Mei all had different excuses for it.Also, could be the future of a Kokoroiyashi-like fragment scenario where Hanyuu is still around in 84.
>>283413845Sextoko.
>>283409469>>283410234>>283413591My dream for a story set in ‘84 would be about Satoshi finally waking up. And Hanyuu being there so we could see all eight characters playing club games together and having fun. If I could just get that I could die happy. But it seems Ryukishi is intent on ruining my life personally.
I want Satoko to breastfeed me.
Someone mentioned Eua, and I remember there was a somewhat low quality image of Eua dressing up as punishment, I think it was from some real life event, but I can’t remember what it was called.
>>283415597it's from the Sotsu Reading Drama.The cast was on stage reading the script with images projected on a screen in the background.
>>283385765Why didn't she study?
>>283415665I’d just found a lower quality version, thanks mang, that’s exactly it.
>>283415665I can’t believe this is how Higurashi ended…
Woops! She fell
>>283413591>could be the future of a Kokoroiyashi-like fragment scenario where Hanyuu is still around in 84.I really wish any Higurashi sequal we got takes place after Kokoroiyahsi instead of Saikoroshi, it's just a million times more satsyfing as a epilogue and was so refreshing to see Satoko act like Satoko and not the fucking rika obsessed freak we see in Gou
>>283417447annoying loud brat
>>283417447
>>283417447Deserved
>>283417009It really seems like R07 only considers the idea of Hanyuu staying around physically when he's doing very light hearted stories, and even then it can go either way. She was actually living with 11 years old Rika and Satoko (post-Sotsu main plot) in the Sotsu reading drama. The club members also know her there.But then there was no Hanyuu at all in the more recent Hinamizawa Doujinshi Event short story. And that also had post-Sotsu Rika and Satoko.
>>283419175I imagine Hanyuu is a difficult character to write since her presence raises so many questions that aren’t easy to answer. Seems like it was partially out of convenience that he wrote her out at the end of Saikoroshi.
Full cour mahou shoujo spin-off when???
>>283420647Kira didn't do well in the first place...
>>283419004Oyakodon
>>283420849Actual fucking tragedy.
>>283414986I'll forever go to my grave believing the perfect Sequel should've been focused on Satoshi, Keiichi, Satoko, and Shion (With maybe a little bit of Mion too). I'm personally more of a fan of having the sequel story take place in '85 just to add to the dread Satoshi would feel feeling as if everyone has simply moved on from him. Keiichi going off to High school we're he'll have even less time to spend with Satoko and vice versa, Mion already creating a new club at the high school with new members that she would've been hanging out with for over a year adding the feeling that Keiichi himself has been replaced something he'd be able to relate to with Satoshi, Keiichi and Satoko being forced to end the Nii-Nii Imouto larp and confronting their actual feelings for each other, Shion dealing with having to wait for Satoshi for THREE YEARS, Satoshi returning and feeling as if Keiichi has simply taken over his spot in everyone lives and feeling as if they'd all prefer Keiichi over him leading to resentment towards him with his relationship with Satoko only fueling his hate towards Keiichi and everyone else for abandoning him. Literally SO many ways you can take this story but no Ryukishi prefers the shit Umineko reference sequel.
>>283415665baba sexo
I want to have sex with this old man
>>283422195She would be the most shy and delicate during sex out of all of them.Who would be the craziest? I am guessing Rena or Rika, but it would depend on the situation.
>>283421343Such a setup would be so great for heavy interpersonal drama, which is the best part of Ryukishi's writing if you ask me, but as you say we'll never get anything like that. It's tragic that he doesn't care about Satoshi and how much he meant to the original story and characters.
>>283422639I have my doubts that Ryukishi can even write anymore. How did Silent Hill turn out?
>>283422730I dunno, I don’t really play video games. In the last Higu thread an anon said that /v/ disliked it but it’s doing well enough in the mainstream.
>>283400925Some of us Renafags are actually sadists, not masochists
>>283421343Reminder that before Gou/Sotsu, Satoshi wasn't meant to be in a coma. He's drug during Matsuribayashi because he violently attacked staff before. He's actually strapped to his bed and Irie pleads to Shion that she shouldn't wake him up in that moment.It wouldn't be a miraculous return years later, it should be him slowly recovering from L5.But putting Satoshi in a coma made it easier to justify abandoning him and considering him lost, since R07 didn't want to deal with him (because he was never supposed to be even alive in the first place and R07 just went with BT asking him for that, but now BT himself, the one that pushed to keep Satoshi alive, is dead).>Literally SO many ways you can take this story but no Ryukishi prefers the shit Umineko reference sequel.What you're saying could work for a short-side story. But any actual sequel would need horror and killings back.
>>283390512>noo you aren't supposed to hate the serial killing lesbian witch
Satoko did kill her parents, right? I thought this was confirmed, but I saw a few times people say that it wasn’t just that she hallucinated that they were trying to kill her, but that she hallucinated killing them.
>>283425384She killed them with the same uber-retard strength she uses to shove K1 across the classroom and lug logs to create traps that defeat the Yamainu. Anyone saying anything else is lying.
>>283409054Feet
>>283425384I think a console arc not written by R07 pushed the idea that the railing fell or something and Satoko didn't intend to push them. So don't worry about it.
>>283422195I would not hold back
>>283385765Tits too big. Rika is better.Satoko would agree.
>>283422195>>2834260668 children at the leastThe clan needs to expand
Hhhhhhhappy Halloween!!
>>283428215>>283428297a senior moment?
>>283426033Even in that arc, it's a dream that immediately shortly afterwards Satoko says was likely just her imagination trying to excuse herself. Although even knowing that, the idea that her parents actually loved and forgave her in that last moment helps her heart recover.
Halloween is extra scary for Satoko-chan.
I wish they would show her some mercy...
>>283422195Rena would beat her up and have sex with me in front of her
>>283429033Rena would beat YOU up and have sex with Mion
>>283422639>It's tragic that he doesn't care about Satoshi and how much he meant to the original story and characters.He doesn't care about any of the main characters anymore anon, he literally sees them as pieces he can use for whatever story he wants to tell no matter how heartless. His entire justification for Gou was that it was like a wolf game and that Satoko happend to draw the villian card this time around with him feeling it was unfair for every other character to be a villan at some point in the main story but Satoko. And that's not even getting started on how much he regrets writing Higurashi the way he did and how he would change the entire story and characters if he could rewrite it today. He fucking hates the series with the only love he has for it being how much money it can make him.
>>283422730It's pretty bad and is just another example of Ryukishi shoving his NTR fetish onto everything he touches lately, his self-insert/K1 parallel fists bump the guy who impregnates and steals away his love interest.
>>283430462Context of pic?
>>283430632It's from one of his final after parties in Hou+ released after Gou, he uses them to talk to the audience using the characters themselves. Same afterparty where he calls anyone who didn't like Gou a fake fan and to stop buying his products
>>283430670man this is so fucking depressing. Imagine just making a shitty sequel to your best work and saying "by the way I'd make it completely differently nowadays" as if nothing you wrote mattered and it was all the result of coincidence and such. No actual meaning you achieved as part of your personal journey, just coincidence... or at the very least if there IS a meaning then it was erased and replaced by what you lived after that.
>>283430718The old Ryukishi used to say he'd marry Satoko and that he saw himself as K1, now he feels absolutely nothing but hate and scorn for these characters. I have no idea what made him this way, I don't want to believe that the original Higurashi was all just one big fluke but honestly it might be. He simply has no idea who his fucking characters are anymore, it's been over 20 years it may as well be a totally different writer holding this series hostage at this point. The Ryukishi who wrote Tatarigoroshi or Tsumboroshi is dead and gone, all we have left is the worthless fucking hack who's going to keep exploiting these characters for his wealth and his NTR fetish
>>283430873>I don't want to believe that the original Higurashi was all just one big flukeIt's alrightYou get to define the meaning, not the rat author
>>283430915Exactly, at this point any anons fan fiction is just as canon as whatever trash Ryukishi pukes out nowadays and if the story is made with love it would be even more canon than what Ryukishi has made himself
>>283430462I don’t want to believe all that but I know it must be much closer to the truth than my delusions born of my love for the characters. Fuck this gay earth.
>>283430873I remember that scene in Gou where Satoko talks to Rika and tells her about the virtue of being happy with what life affords you and it was so heartfelt and touching that I felt I had caught a glimpse of the real (or maybe just old) Ryukishi actually expressing a true belief through the characters like he used to. But of course the anime just continued to devolve spectacularly into nonsense and every conversation they had afterwards was just about studying and shit. It’s all so disheartening. I still can’t let go of the feeling that if he put in effort he could do these characters justice, and it’s too depressing to face the possibility that he truly doesn’t care anymore. >>283433684I’ve definitely seen fanfics and OC posted in these threads that blew Sotsugyou outta the water. There was this anon making VN edits while Satokowashi was airing and they were really good, I wish I had saved them. At this point it seems like Ryukishi himself is the one least well equipped to deal with these characters.
>>283435036Whoops, second paragraph was meant for >>283432663
tbf trusting Ryukishi was always a mistake>that loud noise in the ritual storehouse in EP2/5"oh wow I wonder what the solution to this mystery will be, I can't figure it out! the answer must be mindblowing"
tfw my brain is assaulting me with more marriage fantasies of mion. how do i make these go away for good? it’s not good for my health.
>>283422195Calm down Ooishi
>>283435036I always felt you were meant to take what Satoko was saying there as wrong, since she was basically saying Rika should give up on her dream. The problem is that "leave Hinamizawa and go to St.Lucia" comes off as such an empty shell of a dream, more like a trauma response than a genuine desire. So, in context, she ends up sounding reasonable there.It doesn't help even R07 couldn't elaborate on that dream aside from saying Rika loved St.Lucia western's architecture, after spending a long time in the Japanese Hinamizawa, which is just a bullshit reason to upend her entire life.There was one interview where he tried to make it seem deeper, but it was basically an attempt to rewrite Rika's entire character, saying she always disliked her position in life and wanted to leave the village and shrine even before the loops.
>>283438483Oh for sure that whole exchange is sinister underneath the surface, but at the time Satoko’s intentions hadn’t be revealed and I was still thinking it’d be something very deep and thought provoking, which gave her statement depth and complexity. In simple terms she’s saying to quit trying to gain more in life, but the presentation of it, the way the dialogue suddenly took on this lifelike quality and had these two talking like aged adults about the nature of happiness all had me convinced that the story was moving towards something properly impressive. And then a short while later Satoko pulls out a fucking gun. Do you remember how ridiculous everyone thought that was? We had the luxury of thinking that since we didn’t know the absolute train wreck Sotsu would turn out to be, with everything getting much much more ridiculous than anything anyone could’ve reasonably predicted.Everyone talks about Satoko’s character being assassinated but like you say Rika was also badly mistreated. I feel he made her singularly focused on St. Lucia simply to get Satoko and her alone outside the village to force all that bullshit drama. But then there’s still the problem of Shion who went to St. Lucia and hated it and so obviously would’ve supported her little sister who was going through the same thing, and so he solved this by just writing her out of the story until the last moment of the last episode.I had actually really enjoyed Gou while it aired since I was delighted to see these characters again and was willing to look past its flaws. But as the anime went on it only highlighted those flaws and in hindsight that seemingly poetic and nuanced conversation just becomes meaningless.
>>283437581By marrying Mion, duh
>>283387710Your picture shows the contrary, it seems like he's actually cruel and hateful.
>>283396838>>283397509Mion and Shion being 14 is something that's really easy to forget since they're extremely developed for their age, they could easily pass for 16 if not 18 depending on the art.
>>283387554HigurASHI
>>283443453Would worship so fucking hard.
>>283387554>>283443453Snniffffffff
>>283442199I thought that Mion/K1/Rena were high schoolers when I read the question arcs. Mion was calling herself Oji-san and saying how she was about to graduate and all. It's still dumb that Okonogi lost to a 14 year old girl.
>>283446993Okonogi is just that big a jobber.
Anyone have that post describing the smell of Rika's feet?
>>283446993The VN generally avoids any specific numbers, but you do have some signs here and there, like how when they talk about Hinamizawa having an elementary and middle school in a TIP.The club playing tag and such also makes much more sense with younger ages. There's also how in Tatari, Kameda being a high school player is highlighted as this huge obstacle.R07's sprites are too "abstract" to get any real ages out of them, but I think the console sprites do a good job in showing the club members are fairly young, and also the gap between Rika and Satoko and the older club members not being that big.Really, one big issue I have with most artists that make Keiichi, Rena and Mion look older is that Satoko and Rika are left really out of place next to them.Gou/Sotsu's art style is really odd in this sense since it gives Satoko and Rika young teen bodies but keep them as short as in the Deen anime.
>>283446993>I thought that Mion/K1/Rena were high schoolers when I read the question arcs.I did as well, and a lot of people probably did too. Personally I prefer K1 and Mion being 16 and Rena being 15, it makes me feel more okay with being attracted to them.
>>283432663>>283435036I wish there were more Keiichi and Satoko fics out there I feel like those two get the least amount of attention compared to the other girls
>>283447794Go jerk off to Chie, she’s more your speed.
>>283443453Rikaのashi...
>>283438483>It doesn't help even R07 couldn't elaborate on that dream aside from saying Rika loved St.Lucia western's architecture, after spending a long time in the Japanese Hinamizawa, which is just a bullshit reason to upend her entire life.This is so fucking retarded.
