This character however was runner-up as scum of Hinamizawa. Not a redeeming thing about him and everyone knows it. MORE REDEMPTION: Last arc, we kinda got redemptions of several characters near the end from Miyo Takano and Teppei Hojo. We’ve got 13 episodes of almost the same exact crap we watched six months prior in the previous season. To be mean about it, Sotsu is on par with Endless Eight from Haruhi Suzumiya. Only some of these scenes are new compared to what was given and shown in Gou. Thanks series, thanks a fuck-ton for that.Īnd yes, we indeed got the fingernail scene.īut don’t get it twisted with what I just said. I mean no one needed to see Rika get strangled and thrown in the outdoor toilet. Satoko drugged all of these people in order to screw with Rika. Or for that matter, we haven’t even watched Mion strap someone down and take off their fingernails! So remember episodes 1-4 of Gou? Apparently the first 3 episodes of Sotsu show how Rena lost her mind in that timeline, the next three episodes followed Mion’s descent into madness, and we follow that up with Teppei living with Satoko. SOTSU: I think we were all thinking throughout the Gou series, we haven’t watched enough episodes of Rena losing her shit and go on a murderous rampage. Eua gives Satoko the special power to control her fate and she literally abuses it at every turn to force Rika to stay in Higurashi and change every outcome from every timeline Rika’s been through. We’re pretty sure her name is Featherine…but for some reason Satoko called her Eua so I guess that’s her name in the Higurashi universe. In the altar of Oyashiro, she is transferred to the limbo and comes face-to-face with a deity much like Hanyuu. It wasn’t until the girls took a trip back to Hinamizawa that Satoko’s world changed. Rika offered a helping hand to her, but Satoko was so stubborn and jumped to every wrong conclusion, thinking Rika abandoned her. And while Rika adjusted to her surroundings perfectly, Satoko was slipping through the cracks. Satoko was willing to make Rika happy by going along with Rika’s endeavors of leaving Hinamizawa and attending a prestigious all-girls school. Who is to blame for this? That would be Rika’s best friend Satoko Hojo. Not only that, but she was murdered by people who never caused Rika any harm prior including Akasaka, Akane Sonozaki, Chief Kimiyoshi, Ooishi, and even Keiichi. We’ve seen Rika die continuously and worse than what was shown to us in the original series. PREVIOUSLY ON HIGURASHI GOU: Rika’s suffering has gotten exponentially worse than in previous seasons. Sorry, I really wanted to do a John Oliver moment here. A rural Japanese town with a rich history in religion, colorful characters which you can tell from the hair, and annoying, screeching cicadas! We see you, you dirt-bath twats! Moving on! Our main story tonight is about Hinamizawa. Now, does Satoko redeem herself and realize that she was petty, vindictive, misunderstood everything, and is absolutely in the wrong? Judging by what some of the seiyuus said after recording and reading the script, they felt weird and off by the material. That really tainted Higurashi Gou, which was doing okay up until that point. I really do! But I can’t be the only person to hate Satoko Hojo when it was discovered what she did in Gou.
