Now that the dust has settled, how do we feel about Satoko x Keiichi being canon?
>>288271164best possible outcome
Satoko x Keiichi is probably like Tatarigoroshi itself, a rare world that only occurs a few times every several hundred loops.
is this the thread?
>>288271164Destined to happen in every world where they get close to each other, just look at how utterly infatuated Keiichi and Satoko became with each other after only spending two nights together.
I think he is better with Mion cuz their personalities and traits complements each other just fine. Although personality wise I think he is much more alike with Rena but thats why I think they wouldnt work together. They would eventually repel eachother like the same pole of a magnet
>>288271995>>288272078Yes
>>288272112I think Mion would need a arc overcoming her passiveness and to deal with her fate within her family first before Keiichi and Mion could be a thing, being born a sonozaki seemed to be the worst fate Shion and Mion could receive
>the entire higurashi sequel could have been solved in one sentence if satoko just had the balls to say "no I don't want to leave the town, well keep in touch" or told Rika "I'm not having a good time hear so I'm going back to higurashi" instead of murdering her friends 40000000000000000000000x in a row
>>288272398Not really since Rika wouldn't have given a shit and still guilt tripped Satoko into staying, either way they both act OOC to begin with so who cares
>>288272398The sequel could’ve been solved if it wasn’t trying to tie Higurashi to Umineko.
>tfw K1 would probably marry any girl that starts something with him
>>288271164I thought this is yuri
>>288274081Just like any VN protagonist?
No Satoko, I already bought you a famicom, I’m not going to marry you too.
>>288275636Pretty much.
>>288271164NuHigurashi isnt canon.>b-but the au-Doesnt matter, over 90% of the fanbase views it as trash. Its noncanon.
>>288276787It also completely tanked any chance of KeiToko. She doesn't give a fuck about him in it.
Is this the same Satokeischizo who terrorized Higurashi threads for years? With the "lesbians have 375% better sex with men" spam?
>>288278171I'm pretty sure that was some mindbroken anti-yuri schizo that moved onto terrorizing other yuri/yuri-adjacent threads. I think OP is just a hardcore Satokofag that ships her with Keiichi.
>>288278171>>288278577Yeah, op hates yuri because it gets in the way of Satoko x Keiichi. He also hates Mion for the same reason.Only doesn't hate Rena because he somehow convinced himself that all the dialogue in Tsumi's climax isn't romantic.
>>288273176>>288272398Yeah, R07 had to make up something where Rika would look bad to start the conflict. Even if he had made Lambda a completely new character unrelated to anyone else, Rika was getting fucked since it's established in Umineko Bern had "betrayed" Lambda in the past.
>>288272112>thats why I think they wouldnt work together. They would eventually repel eachother like the same pole of a magnetWhy are Miibros like that?
>>288278637>He also hates Mion for the same reason.LMAO yeah no Rena has a better chance getting with Keiichi than Mion, bottom of the barrel in terms of getting with K1. I don't hate her though, also yes K1 cares for and falls in love with Satoko way harder and faster than if he were to fall in love with Rena despite all the one on one time they spend together
>>288271164
>>288272112He gets along with Rena really well in extreme situations where they’re on the same page, but day to day he’s a better fit for Mion.
>>288276787Why is Ryukishi so hellbent on keeping Goutoko, in his latest writing he has her looping with Rika to make doujins for a club game
>>288280505Married life with Satoko must be heaven on earth
>>288281662He can’t go back on it now.
>>288278924Love how you shipfags keep these screenshots ready to go.
SHIPS RANKEDSatokei > KeiShii > KeiRika > KeiRena > KeiMii
>>288283363I don't have them ready though. They are easy to remember and booting the game to take a screenshot isn't that much.
>>288284178I’m impressed at the dedication.
>>288284075Cute and Canon!
>>288281712Sextoko
Nii-Nii!
Is this Lambdadelta character anything like Satoko?
>>288291271No
>>288291803Rika exists for that.
>>288291803Too bad. She is a growing girl
>>288291803Satoko having the largest breasts out of the main casts makes perfect sense for her character to show that she is best girl
>>288272398She tried that in Meguri.
>>288291923>her personality is genericYou somehow managed to have be the worst take in this thread.
>>288291686Weird. I kind of like the idea of Rika stillbeing friends with Satoko after becoming a witch or whatever goes on in Umineko, but it seems to not even be clear.
>>288291991Big Satoko reverse mating pressing Keiichi
>>288292079Mion is the biggest
I dropped the new anime and have had the SN in my backlog for like 5 years now
>>288294978This is why they hate her.
>>288295903Mion is unhateable though. Best old man ever.
>>288295023It’s really good.
Would Satoko take care of me if I came down with a fever?
>>288297905If you have some archetypical big brother characteristics, then she may.
>>288291271She's more "hyper" than Satoko (unless you're watching the anime where for some reason they completely neutered her personality) and speaks in a casual tone rather than Satoko's wanna be fancy lady, but carries a lot of the same traits like being childish and seemingly dumb, while also actually being smart. Also has the same laugh and in spite of acting "casual", she complains if she isn't treated like a "lady", like Satoko did with Keiichi refusing to acknowledge her as such.Her very first scene in Umineko has Bern making a joke about her getting lonely easily and crying, referencing Satoko's intro in Onikakushi. They also joke about her being a tsundere character like they do with Satoko. Her "tea party" is actually a booby trapped forest. When she is with Bern by themselves, they play punishment games like the club did.That said, she has a much more mature personality inside, it's just you don't get many glimpses at it. She's also a complete Bern simp while also holding some unresolved issues against her. but at the same time also believes Bern is the only one who can really understand her.
>>288291271She is mischievous and has the OHOHOHO laugh, but other than that Lambda's personality is not at all like Satoko's.
>>288298357Could headpats save her?
>>288271164>this crack ship>againWhat's wrong with you OP? Did /07/fags kick you out?
>>288281712Zamn
>>288300486>crack shipRead the VN
>>288299654She gets some headpats in a side-manga. Although the hat is in the way.
Aside from this one from Bern.
>>288301785
>>288278924They would get tired of eachother after one year together
>>288278577Honestly I get it, yurifags can be annoying sometimes.
>>288301473That's weaker than an 'I loved you', it's more of an 'I liked you'.
>>288302076No, they will have 7 children and live a happy life.
>>288302493lmao shut the fuck up dumbass
>>288303548Daisuki is weaker than aishiteru.
>>288303548>About Keiichi-sanWhy are you posting machine translation?
>>288304122Daisuki can still be used for a romantic confession and to express romantic feelings. aishiteru is rarely used for fucking confessions especially when you believe the boy you loved is about to bash your brains out >Dudddddddde Taiga didn't say aishiteru so clearly she doesn't love Ryuji and there's no romantic feelings for him at all!!11!Fucking moron.https://youtu.be/JXW57j0lLQA>>288304232Because the translation was already posted here speedreaderfag>>288272120
>>288302076Why are Miifags so bitter?
When are we getting the canon harem ending?
>>288306245No such thing, country bumpkin girls are monogamous.
>>288273176Yeah this is a huge part of why GouSotsu sucked. Ryukishi was trying to fully connect his two franchises during the cinematic universe fad.He had to put the characters on their heads in order to force an environment which allowed for an Umineko origin story.
>>288306748they are monogamous... with k1 as their husband
Sotsugou gave us boobatoko so it's good
>>288278577>>288278637It's just tiresome to see him keep trying at this point.>>288307953This.
>>288278577Yurifags are cancer.
>>288308068Cry harder
>>288278171Lesbians still cum 375% faster with men though.
>>288302334>>288308161They might be annoying but this faggot was genuinely mentally ill and would nuke threads with his cancerous posting style without fail. Hope he’s dead in a ditch somewhere.
>>288310397Yeah because it's not like these threads have never had shippers before the Keisato poster showed up. Get a hold of yourself anon
>>288271164But both are married to other people.>>288272001Tatarigoroshi and manga Tataridamashi were the Keiichi x Satoko routes and each time Keiichi screwed up.
>>288310609She still got Kreamp1ed with Sakiko.
>>288310397Sounds like you've got K1cum deficiency syndrome, sis,
Keiichi calm down...
>>288310520I’m not talking about shippers, those have always been in Higu threads and always will be. I’m talking about mindbroken delusional subhumans, a different breed altogether.
What is it about Satokei that enrages so many people? Genuinely asking as a newfag here
>>288311745Yurisisters... They are talking about us...
>>288311760There was a guy who went insane when Gousotsu came out and yuribaited Satoko and Rikahttps://desuarchive.org/a/search/text/satoko%20375/Just kept posting shit like this repeatedly in every thread and fighting with yurifagshttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/230208519/#230225094
>>288311760Bitter and insecure Miifags and Renafags who go absolutely ballistic when their headcanons about who loves Keiichi is threatened. They refuse to accept that all the main girls romantically love Keiichi in the story and thus react with intense hostility when anyone doesn't subscribe to their Satorika, MiixK1, RenaxK1, MiiRenaK1 ship delusions
>>288312643Was he insane before this happened too?
>>288312643You linked to FB/shounenspic copycatting not the anti-yurifag though.
>>288313112I don't remember him existing before Gou. I think he lost his mind during Sotsu because of mass bullying after posts like thishttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/227798503/#227801446followed by the show dumping on him.These are pretty much all him.

Get a grip man you're just making yourself look like a schizo
>>288310609>and each time Keiichi screwed upClassic K1.
>>288312643Seeing that post brings back some awful memories.
Uhhh anyway YWNBK1
Can't believe how nostalgic I'm getting looking at old threads. Already been half a decade, huh.
YWABK1
>>288314674half a decade since r07 murdered the higurashi fanbase and tore out its intestines.
>>288314742One day he will pay for what he did.
>>288314742>>288314837Looking back, it was also when 07th Expansion's VN output fell off a cliff.There are manga and contracted work like Silent Hill f, but previously R07 used to be able to handle both 07th Expansion stuff and external games (like Okamikakushi, Iwaihime, the remake of Banshee's Last Cry for PSV...). For a while now though, 07th itself only releases short doujinshi stories. It's not only Ciconia, they haven't even announced any other VN for half a decade now.
>>288314976You're right, there really hasn't been anything in so long. Now with Silent Hill f done he better stop fucking around.
>>288315983He is working on silent hill f manga though
>>288312643These archives look so fun. Higurashi is in a dire need for new content.
Is this the end for Higurashi? The anime is having it's 20th anniversary this year and beside that ai chatbot, there doesn't seem to be anything happening.
>>288317876>and beside that ai chatbotAre you serious.
>>288315996i.e. procrastinating.
I've been a Mionfag since day one. Even now I still think she is the best for K1, but to be fair, I love all the cast. Every ship is good, some make more sense than others, but still I feel like K1 could get along with anyone, really. He has chemistry with every girl. And GouSotsu might have been a fucking mistake, but it brought to life one of my biggest weaknesses: busty JC. Satoko's design went from a little succubus to a fucking semen demon. I know the japs thought the same during her reveal because pixiv was full of Satoko big youthful melons.
We tend to forget that Higurashi Gou also gave us the best ending of the fucking serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeeB4AGrBdQ
>>288318699>one of my biggest weaknesses: busty JCWasn't she a JK?
>>288313781What's there to get? The "shipper" you mentioned are in fact different people and not a single person like you implied. Particularly the post you linked before was not from a shipper but from a random shounenfag.
>>288318915Correct me if i'm wrong but iirc Rika and Satoko are JS in Hinamizawa and entered St Lucia as JC.
>>288318741Despite how much I loathe Gou and Sotsu I still think Sotus ED is one of the best in the entire franchise. God how I wished it was used on a different showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGtwYrEoGu0&list=RDlGtwYrEoGu0&start_radio=1
>>288318079I haven't read too much into it but R07 and SoulChat LINE service are co-producing adaptations of Higurashi chapters into an AI chat roleplay. You will apparently navigate each story and interact with characters based on your own input.
>>288319715Yeah, I've seen some Japanese fans posting their impressions and some screencaps on twitter. There is a quest system and you need to trigger specific events then the story advances. For Onikakushi, you interact with Keiichi, Rena and Mion, and need to do stuff like getting Rena to call you a liar at some point for example. Then you get some fixed narration when getting to certain points of the story.Based on what they post, the characters do seem surprisingly in-character. it helps they're allowed to just get angry at the player and leave you rather than being forced to always answer (you can reset the playthrough though).
>>288318966No, Rika and Satoko enter St.Lucia as JKs. You do see JC Rika and Satoko too in Gou though, it's when they're wearing the new sailor uniforms.
>>288321758Sounds interesting enough. Sadly I am afraid that this will be another Japan only thing like the gacha.
>>288317876I think this is more due to Gou/Sotsu being from a different studio rather than DEEN. The only merch produced for the DEEN anime at all recently have been some t-shirts for the anniversary now. Everything else is Gou/Sotsu or just VN based.
Anyone remember that sequel manga where they're all adults and married a bunch of randoms?
>>288322566It was handled poorly. Ryukishi just take a step back on trying to continue a story which was already complete and had a happy ending. Instead he should go and explore prequels like with the Oni manga.
>>288322566Yeah. Such a stupid premise. The final volume revealed the idea came from Square Enix's Gangan editors (who also published the original manga adaptations), but R07 going along with this idea was a stupid mistake in the first place. That thing has been completely buried by now in Japan, and sales were so bad the final volumes barely got any printings.>>288322735I think R07 fears doing prequels since it might contradict random statements he spread around the VN. He talked in a recent event about how he might have outright forgotten various details from the VN.Oni avoids this issue since it's focusing either on new characters or characters that barely appear in the VN and had most of their backstory in artbook profiles rather than the VN itself.That said, I also think part of the problem with Reiwa is exactly that he feared destroying the "good ending". He tried to get people who were annoyed at the pairings to excuse Reiwa as just "Another Fragment", but even so the whole basic premise was clearly written so people saw it as the "happy future". The issue is that it meant the new characters were all super bland and the conflict was mostly external. Really should have pushed the fact that it's supposed to be just "another fragment" in a stronger way and given everyone more interesting messed up lives that could hold a story together more strongly.
>>288322857I get his concerns about forgetting details since the story is pretty dense after all these years. However I think that the occasional small inconsistencies could be overlooked if it means getting to explore the century of Rika's loops and her transition from an innocent girl to a cynical, hopeless observer. Though it would probably need some general driving force so it's not only just her inevitably heading towards the day when the VN starts.
I'll never forgive what Ryukishi did to this series.Also, I want to have sex with Shion
>>288323709I too would like to have sex with shion
>>288323342I've thought about a story like this. I think the story itself could work if he introduced a new villain that Rika does manage to stop eventually early in the loops only to be killed by Takano anyway. It'd allow this prequel to have its own development and conclusion and It'd also help answering the question of what the hell she was doing for so long.
>>288323342This would require to put Hanyuu in a bad light, so it won't happen
>>288319715>>288321758You can achieve similar results by ingesting drugs and reading the VN.
Ryukishi is such a fucking coward
>>288323709
>>288324405This but Mion
>>288325365>Local man breaks into someone's home after falsely suspecting that a girl named Satoko was being abused.>Upon being asked for a name by the homeowner, the man presented himself as "Maebara Keiichi" - a fictional character from the japanese visual novel franchise Higurashi: When They Cry.>After causing property damage, the man chased down the frightened homeowner down the street and into the nearby forest while wielding a metal bat before the law enforcement managed to incapacitate and arrest him.>The perpetrator was tested positive on drugs while insisting on having delusions caused by Hinamizawa syndrome - a fictional disease from the aforementioned series.>The man is has been charged with home invasion, property damage and attempted assault, facing up to 15 years in prison.
>>288313461Don't forget about that Rika anon (and his disc friends) who got butthurt and started to spam around after Gou/Sotsu ended. Turned out he went to jail because he was hosting pizza content, either random stuff or related to his sister, and also abused her (??). /jp/ had more info on him when it happened.>>288318699Based and true, loliToko was and is still great but giving Satoko a pair of tits was a good upgrade
>>288327010>Turned out he went to jail because he was hosting pizza content, either random stuff or related to his sisterBoth. Yeah, Erik was his name I think.
>>288318699>>288327010Keiichi is so lucky...
>>288322566The only thing I remember about that series is the commision I did where K1's son has a threesome with Satoko and Sakiko.
>>288314678Reminder she is a psycho lesbo.
>>288328051She psychotically cums 375% harder with K1?
>>288328371I don't get it. Explain this to me, and why specifically 375%?
K1 > Shion
Who's the purest higu and why is it Mion?
Newest set of Higu merch from the Shirakawa store that often has Higu collabs.
>>288329881>Satoko and Rika in the background while they force Keiichi, Mion and Rena togetherI fucking despise Gou for doing this shit
>>288330210It was always like this though. Very rarely you see Keiichi and Satoko together, much less Rika and Keiichi.
>>288328877Iirc it's from an actual study that shows women reach orgasm 3-4 times as fast when having sex with men.
>>288330210those have always been the two closer groups, it's kind of a shame we rarely saw the girls interact without K1 in the mix
>tfw no mion/rena/rika/satoko/shion gf
>>288332855What a manipulative little seductress.
Rena is so cute. Rena is so hot. Rena makes Mii-chan cry over something that doesn't matter without even trying.
>>288323709I don't remember making this post?
>>288334360Rena can only make Mion cry by being a backstabbing bitch.
Mrs.Maebara <3
>>288334360>>288334826If Mion is sad Rena will kiss it better
>>288334826I meant the doll drama in watanagashi.Of course Rena wouldn't hurt her best friend's feelings on purpose.
>>288318741What I love about this ED is that it sounds like it was recorded for the old DEEN anime. It somehow captures that sound for me. And of course the art is gorgeous.
>>288324556>It'd also help answering the question of what the hell she was doing for so long.I can answer that. Mostly she was saying "nipah~!"
>>288326829Many such cases...
>>288335717I wish that ED was representative of what we actually got
>>288335814Yeah I know. Everything about it belongs to a much better anime. It's so frustrating, especially when I feel that it would've been relatively easy to make a sequel that would have satisfied fans somewhat, rather than something that alienated pretty much everyone.
>>288319436It looks gay as fuck tho
>>288335717Man, this freaking scene. The others could be seen as recreating scenes from the original series, so this was likely meant to be when Shion is taken to the underground shrine in 82, but then she's with a completely wrong outfit and that's just Oryo's room not the underground shrine. Due to that everyone assumed at the time it was foreshadowing some kind of new event from Gou itself.>>288335872A different group and R07 misfired again right afterwards with Reiwa though.It really should be super easy to make a very derivative Higurashi 2 where the club ends up in the center of a new mystery, new characters could play the role of mistrust and lashing out that the club had in the original story, but for some reason R07 always tries to do stuff beyond that to worse results.
Remember when the series used to ship all the girls with Keiichi? Pepperidge farms remembershttps://youtu.be/ELcFJVbJ0QI
Satokei won.Satokei. Won.
>>288336051There were so many things that inspired detailed theories that turned out to be completely meaningless, like the water wheel spinning in the opposite direction, or the cotton sinking to the bottom of the stream during the festival. So much turned out to be not worthy of examination.>It really should be super easy to make a very derivative Higurashi 2 where the club ends up in the center of a new mystery, new characters could play the role of mistrust and lashing out that the club had in the original story, but for some reason R07 always tries to do stuff beyond that to worse results.For an artist that seems to have such strong feelings for presentation and messaging you'd think he would give his most famous work a serious and cogent reworking when given the chance to make a sequel, but no, he off-loaded so much to the studio that completely misunderstood the assignment. What an utter waste of opportunity. We'll never hear those VAs work together again on these characters.
>>288336080>13 years agoGood times...
>>288336290>The last time Satoko will ever be voiced is when she's a non-caring looper I want to fucking die so bad
>>288336290>For an artist that seems to have such strong feelings for presentation and messaging you'd think he would give his most famous work a serious and cogent reworking when given the chance to make a sequel, but no, he off-loaded so much to the studio that completely misunderstood the assignment.No they understood, they used the phonebook sized script Ryukishi gave them with their own shitty direction to create the burning dumpster fire abomination that is SotsuGou. The issue is that Ryukishi genuinely doesn't give a fuck about the characters from Higurashi anymore due to a mix of resentment and forgetting who these characters are supposed to be and what they meant to him at one point. He's been obsessed with turning WTC into a evangelion like genre ever since Ciconia and this was his way of pulling an anno and telling the fans still obsessed with Higurashi to get the fuck over it like good little piggies and move on to his new and better work.
>>288336290The Gou staff did seem to have some attention to detail, but the issue is that it was really inconsistent. From one side you have stuff like them keeping track of the days every event was happening and explicitly listing it for the viewers or the small tweaks to early Onidamashi that hinted Rena was really the one going crazy this time.But then even in Onidamashi itself you have them showing the Irie clinic getting disbanded, hitting at the later Neko developments... but they do this when Rika is still alive and she somehow doesn't notice any of it. And then you many other details from big to small that just feel bizarre.Wataakashi being the worst of these, with some of the writing being just baffling, especially the connection from Damashi scenes into Akashi ones (like Mion gives a speech about wanting to protect among others Satoko who was hurt by the village's system only to then leave to immediately confront her as an enemy when she sees her arriving), but even the other arcs that didn't have two different writers for the different parts like this often not only had issues with details, but also overlooked huge elements that anyone would question.
>>288336566Ah, I kind of lost my point here. Anyway, I think R07 went on about how viewers should pay attention to detail because he was likely surprised by some of those minor details from the Gou staff and then overlooked all the staff they messed up or ignored until the viewers were calling them out on it.
>>288271164Is there some unofficial continuation or something?I just finished Meguri today
>>288336290I still can't decide who's more at fault. Whetever the studio for fucking up the execution or Ryukishi for coming up with a stupid premise and not intervening when the studio was struggling to make sense of it.
>>288318741Imagine being born in June 1983
>>288336459It's honestly so depressing, especially given how fantastic the performances were in Sotsugyou: Satoko faking her despair during the famous vomiting scene; Rena in a deep pit of madness as she decides to kill Keiichi to save her father; Mion falling victim to the syndrome and killing people with self-assured yet tragic conviction before finally openly confessing her love to Keiichi; the acting was just so good, with expressions from the club members that we hadn't ever seen before. You could tell these veterans gave their all for these characters that in some cases helped to make their careers. If the script matched that level of dedication it truly could've been something amazing.>>288336507I still don't want to believe this is the truth, but man, fuck him for what he's done to these characters.>>288336566>>288336587There definitely were some nice details, and honestly there were scenes that I'm glad to have gotten even if the production as a whole was awful, like, for example, the scene of Keiichi and Rena walking back from the garbage dump talking about Kenta-kun's statue. But all those relatively "good" moments only make the worthlessness of the whole anime even harder to stomach. As you say, there were so many inconsistencies that simply can't be overlooked if you're a serious viewer. Rika doing the bare minimum in her attempt to fix things is an obvious and often-invoked example, but it just goes on and on. And yeah, don't even get me started on Wataakashi. What a fucking disgrace.
All these things you guys are talking about wouldn't be a problem if I didn't love these characters so much that it hurts me when they get hurt. I just want a dignified ending for them, that's all.
It's funny seeing how upset you people are over Gou when the Japanese fanbase openly supports it and makes fun of anyone who doesn't like it as fake fans
I think I'd almost be okay with Sotsu if I understood happened at the very end with SatokoWitch letting Satoko have her body back? The creator has a metaphysics of personality that I just don't understand. I can handle a character becoming evil, or a character becoming flawed, or having a tragic flaw, or whatever, but having multiple personality disorder? And just saying, yeah that's how it is for loopers? What?
>>288337540>makes fun of anyone who doesn't like it as fake fansThey don't though. It's true it isn't hated there as much, but they don't defend it either.
>>288337593>I think I'd almost be okay with SotsuNever be okay with a total character assassination completely forced to hamfist a shitty umineko connection that makes no sense for either of the characters
>>288337522Matsuribayashi ending was generic and not exactly living up to the overall story, but it was satisfying enough and Saikoroshi was a fine epilogue. It should have ended there and not continue into SotsuGou where all those struggles of the gang went through were suddenly made meaningless.
>>288329581>The most precious and girly of the group is the tomboy who speak like an old man from the sticksPerfection.
>>288337593Ryukishi thought that Higurashi and Umineko fandoms are one and the same which isn't really the case. People who never touched Umineko were confused about the ending because it makes little sense Higurashi-wise.He partly used this connection as a justification for Satoko killing everyone so that you could think "This wasn't the real Satoko, this was her alter personality from a different universe". If you remove the connection it would probably feel even worse because now Satoko is killing her beloved friends because she didn't want to let go of Rika. The entire premise is flawed.
>>288338540Power of gap moe
>>288329581Rena!
>>288271164its alrite
>>288337522you got like 3 unless you need to include Satoshi in which case you got like 3/4 of one across all of them
>>288335717Shion doesn't have a very dignified post here, that harlot
>>288314742the manga Gou exists go read that you edgelord
>>288339018Imagine falling down on your back next to Shion and looking upwards while she's crouching in this picture.imagine waking up 20 minutes later in the torture chamber after you got tazed
>>288337540>>288337616Yeah, the Japanese fanbase is pretty split. You've got people openly supporting Gou/Sotsu while others say it drove them away from the entire series.I saw a recent Japanese image on twitter with "cute but actually evil" characters and Satoko was there right alongside stuff like Kyubei. A lot of people agreed she was ireedemable in Gou/Sotsu with only a few trying to defend her.
>>288337540>>288339523BD status?
>>288338549the satoko witch shit felt so underdeveloped I don't even recognize it as part of the explanation for what she did.
>>288339018>not even fully kneeling down to not dignify this family meeting and to leave as quickly as possibleshe really hates that bitch Oryou
>>288340580It was towards the end of Sotsu where you get red eyed Satoko (born from looping for too long) who's killing her friends because she wants to make Rika stay and normal Satoko who had enough and can no longer bear to watch her friends suffer. Witch Satoko wins in their fight and fully takes control over the body.It was pretty rushed.
>>288340628Why is she so angry when she has tits like that?
>>288340767because the one person that she really wants to touch them isn't here
>>288340806I will put on a blonde wig and act like a shy, gentle, stunned trauma victim and squueze her breasts if that will help her cool down.
>>288340806What if Satoshi turned out to be gay? How would she react?
>>288340971she'd fix him
>>288341016He would probably die in the process
>>288323709>>288324405>>288334666these posts? all me
>>288341055it's worth the risk
I still can't fucking believe this shit is real. I didn't read Reiwa, and thank fucking Christ I didn't.
>>288341465This didn't even cause that much of an outrage, it made people outright memoryhole the entire manga. I wonder what was going on behind the scenes.
>>288340713Yeah, that conflict only happens in the middle of Tatariakashi when she hesitates on killing freaking Teppei. And somehow they completely forgot to deal with it in the finale, where they don't acknowledge she regrets killing her friends even once.>>288342218Well, at least according to R07's notes in the final volume, it was basically just R07 going overboard with "the perfect ending should have no villains" stuff he has been preacing since Matsuribayashi author room.The original idea for Reiwa's ending was them learning about that kink and then using it to threaten him into fucking off, but seeing it, he thought that contradicted the message of acceptance to condenm a kink like that, and so rather than that, he came up with the idea of the club playing along with his kink so he willingly backs down, rather than getting villified as a "losing" villain.
