[00:20] ---
Rika!
[00:31] ---
It ended in tragedy again...
[00:40] ---
A thousand years ago...
[00:44] ---
When I was despairing over the
cruel nature of the world of men,
[00:47] ---
I took on the sins of the world
[00:49] ---
and cleansed the men to whom
I offered myself in sacrifice.
[00:54] ---
The one I entrusted with that sacrifice
[00:58] ---
was my very own daughter.
[01:01] ---
In the millennia that passed afterwards,
[01:03] ---
I continued to despise the world of man.
[01:06] ---
But nothing lasts forever.
[01:10] ---
Not walls, not doors, not hearts.
[01:16] ---
Not even the power that kept me
sealed away from the human world.
[01:21] ---
Furude family lore declares that,
if for eight consecutive generations,
[01:26] ---
the first-born Furude child is a girl,
then Oyashiro-sama will be reincarnated.
[01:30] ---
That's why, Rika, when you were born
as the eighth consecutive female child...
[01:36] ---
At long last--
[01:37] ---
I finally had regained
my view of the human world.
[01:45] ---
The millennia I spent
rejecting the world of men
[01:48] ---
was no more than a
cage of my own loneliness.
[01:52] ---
Perhaps that one-sided
despair was punishment
[01:55] ---
for forcing my daughter
to carry out that horrific act.
[02:05] ---
When girls continued to be born into
the family and your mother was with child,
[02:11] ---
oh, how I prayed it would be a girl.
[02:16] ---
You would be my first friend in a
thousand years, my very own daughter,
[02:20] ---
with whom I would share life.
[02:24] ---
But in that first June of 1983,
[02:28] ---
I committed a grave sin once more.
[02:35] ---
To avert your fated death,
[02:37] ---
I granted you power and turned
you into one who lives in loops.
[02:41] ---
Goodnight, now,
[02:45] ---
Rika-chan.
[02:56] ---
But my power was imperfect.
[02:58] ---
It would only bring you
a hundred years of suffering.
[03:03] ---
Your spirit was driven
to the brink of death,
[03:06] ---
and you cursed the dice of fate that
continued to bequeath despair unto you.
[03:12] ---
And yet...
[03:15] ---
...you never gave up.
[03:20] ---
I'm Hanyuu Furude.
[03:26] ---
She's so cute! Wait, Furude?
[03:31] ---
That's right!
She's a distant relative of mine!
[03:36] ---
Your strength changed my role
from mere bystander to participant.
[03:42] ---
Then...
[03:44] ---
The human world is
just like a game of Old Maid.
[03:47] ---
I happened to draw the Joker.
[03:49] ---
But there's nobody else
to pass the card to now.
[03:52] ---
So in revenge, I'm going to shoot you all!
[03:55] ---
Fitting for this irrational
world of men, isn't it?!
[04:01] ---
Hanyuu?!
[04:03] ---
Brave Mion. You've shown
more than enough courage.
[04:07] ---
If the Joker can't be passed
to anyone else in this world of men,
[04:12] ---
then it is my job to accept it.
[04:16] ---
Hanyuu, what are you doing?!
[04:19] ---
Rika, I had so much fun in this world.
[04:23] ---
It was so much more fun to play
with you in club than to just watch.
[04:27] ---
Thank you.
[04:29] ---
Spending time with you all brought me
more happiness than a god could handle.
[04:34] ---
Come, shoot me, child of man,
[04:36] ---
with that sin you must foist
onto another in this world of men!
[04:40] ---
Fine. Fine, fine, fine!
[04:45] ---
Then die!
[04:51] ---
After witnessing a miracle
in the world of men,
[04:54] ---
I, Hanyuu, returned
to the sea of fragments.
[04:59] ---
Good night, Rika.
[05:02] ---
Sweet dreams.
[05:33] ---
Rika...
[05:34] ---
Despite what it meant,
I was so happy to see you again.
[07:07] ---
"Higurashi: When They Cry - SOTSU"
[07:11] ---
You little brat!
[07:15] ---
Talk! Talk!
[07:19] ---
Talk! Talk! Talk!
[07:27] ---
Everything is okay now, Rika.
[07:33] ---
That pain is no more than a memory.
[07:35] ---
You should not be able to feel it now.
[07:40] ---
Ooishi killed me!
[07:45] ---
Huh? I remember who killed me.
[07:50] ---
What's going on?
[07:55] ---
What foolishness.
[08:00] ---
If only you'd stayed with the cat until
the end. You might have helped her.
[08:06] ---
If she remembers who killed her,
[08:08] ---
then won't that make
our methods even more effective?
[08:14] ---
A hundred years! A century I was trapped
in Hinamizawa, like a bird in a cage!
[08:18] ---
I witnessed tragedy after tragedy
without knowing the reason why!
[08:21] ---
If it wasn't for my friends and their
miracle, my soul would be long dead!
[08:26] ---
To my mind, time has long passed 1983!
[08:29] ---
I'm not this little girl anymore!
[08:33] ---
I got away from the village and achieved
my dream of starting a new life!
[08:38] ---
And after all that, I got dragged
right back to Hinamizawa!
[08:42] ---
Do you know what that means?!
[08:46] ---
That means that if I can use
this new power to escape again,
[08:50] ---
one day, out of nowhere,
I might be whisked away to 1983 again!
[08:54] ---
Do you know how horrifying that is?!
[08:57] ---
I'm sorry.
[08:59] ---
If you disappear,
then I'll really, truly be alone!
[09:12] ---
Rika, I didn't want to have
to tell you about this...
[09:16] ---
But now, it shall be my parting words.
[09:20] ---
Huh?
[09:21] ---
Of the many artifacts bearing my name,
[09:24] ---
the most important, most holy
of them is a sacred sword,
[09:29] ---
Onigari-no-ryuou.
[09:32] ---
It has the ability to kill those for whom
death is no end, but beginning:
[09:36] ---
it can kill one who lives in loops.
[09:39] ---
A sword that can kill
one who lives in loops?
[09:42] ---
But you are no longer a fledgling.
[09:45] ---
Wait!
[09:47] ---
Goodbye, Rika.
[09:49] ---
Your life and future must be
shaped by your own hands.
[09:54] ---
Wait! Don't go, Hanyuu!
[09:57] ---
Hanyuu!
[10:03] ---
I hope you'll have a cream puff
for me every now and then.
[10:06] ---
No!
[10:07] ---
I only made it through those hundred years
because you were there with me!
[10:12] ---
If you leave me, if you're gone--!
[10:19] ---
I can't do this! Not without you!
[10:25] ---
I want to play hide-and-seek.
[10:27] ---
Hide-and-seek? Huh, that's random.
[10:29] ---
I like hide-and-seek!
[10:31] ---
Where are we allowed to hide?
Anywhere on school grounds?
[10:35] ---
That's too small!
We'll be found too quickly!
[10:38] ---
Anywhere in Hinamizawa is okay.
[10:41] ---
Anywhere in the village?
That's a big area.
[10:46] ---
I'll use my crafty trapmaking skills to
ensnare and deter anyone looking for me!
[10:50] ---
Satoko, the only person
hiding is going to be me.
[10:55] ---
Just you?
[10:57] ---
Rika! You must be around here, I know it!
[11:01] ---
Just give yourself up already, now!
[11:25] ---
Now that I recall, I came here while
playing hide-and-seek once before.
[11:30] ---
I hid inside the ritual tool shed, and
when Rika was blamed for my mistake,
[11:36] ---
she was punished.
[11:38] ---
It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
[11:41] ---
I'm sorry!
[11:44] ---
How long ago was that?
How many centuries ago?
[11:48] ---
I can't remember anymore.
[12:29] ---
I'd better keep this dangerous
weapon far away from Rika.
[12:45] ---
Silly Hanyuu. It's not here.
[12:49] ---
There's no sword!
[12:52] ---
You left me this parting gift
I didn't even want,
[12:54] ---
and it's not even here!
[13:14] ---
Mion! Your hunch says
she's gonna be at the shrine?
[13:18] ---
It's Rika-chan's home, so she must
know lots of places to hide there.
[13:24] ---
It's my home, too,
and I've looked all over for her.
[13:28] ---
If Rika-chan were really trying
to keep us from finding her,
[13:31] ---
then she'd be here.
[13:46] ---
Rika-chan!
[13:47] ---
Rika! Come out if you're in there!
[13:51] ---
Rika-chan! Please come out!
[13:54] ---
We might've lost today,
but we won't let you win tomorrow!
[14:02] ---
I can die whenever I want now.
[14:05] ---
Rika, you know no matter where
you hide, I'll always find you!
[14:13] ---
Five more loops.
[14:15] ---
I'll try for five more loops,
[14:17] ---
and if I don't succeed...
[14:19] ---
...I'll give up.
[14:23] ---
After all, I certainly can't
let you get away from me.
[14:27] ---
"Wednesday, June 15th"
[14:33] ---
Akasaka-san, if I'm correct?
[14:36] ---
Yes, that's me, Mamoru Akasaka.
[14:40] ---
Wait, were you at that
toy store in Okinomiya?
[14:42] ---
Yes, I'm Satoko Hojo.
[14:44] ---
You seem to be well-acquainted with Rika,
though I'm not sure of the reason.
[14:49] ---
Well, I owe her my life.
[14:52] ---
So whatever she needs, I'm there for her.
[14:57] ---
In that case, I need to tell you
the real reason why Rika is suffering.
[15:04] ---
The real reason?
[15:05] ---
Most people wouldn't
believe me if they tried.
[15:09] ---
You see...
[15:11] ---
She's infected with parasites
that have taken control of her.
[15:16] ---
I'm sure I can do something to help.
[15:22] ---
You don't need to
worry anymore, Rika-chan!
[15:25] ---
Now all the parasites
inside of you are gone!
[15:29] ---
I saved you, Rika-chan!
[15:33] ---
Right.
[15:35] ---
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
[15:38] ---
I know how to kill you, you damn bugs!
[15:45] ---
Itchy, itchy, itchy, itchy!
[15:47] ---
You filthy parasites!
I'll burn you all to a fucking crisp!
[15:57] ---
Rika! Rika!
[15:59] ---
Shout if you're all right!
[16:02] ---
Rika!
[16:04] ---
Rika-chan!
[16:06] ---
No!
[16:07] ---
Call the fire department! Hurry!
[16:10] ---
C'mon, now!
[16:11] ---
Rika, I do hope you
realize sooner than later...
[16:15] ---
...that this is the curse.
[16:21] ---
Oyashiro-sama's curse.
[16:35] ---
This is the worst... My neck is so itchy!
[16:39] ---
Itchy, itchy, itchy...
[16:45] ---
It must be unbearably itchy for you, too.
[16:51] ---
It is.
[16:53] ---
Though thanks to you, I can't
move my arms to scratch my neck.
[16:57] ---
I'm truly sorry you had to
be born into the Furude family.
[17:04] ---
If fate was mine to choose, I would have
never wanted to be born in Hinamizawa!
[17:10] ---
I agree.
[17:11] ---
We fell victim to Hinamizawa's
curse the moment we were born.
[17:17] ---
It hurts, doesn't it?
[17:18] ---
It's so painful and itchy, isn't it?
[17:21] ---
It's okay.
[17:23] ---
I'll make you feel all better!
[17:26] ---
Yes, please do.
[17:28] ---
Put an end to this so I can
move on to the next world.
[17:32] ---
I'll be right behind you,
[17:36] ---
just as soon as I destroy
your Hinamizawa blood!
[17:43] ---
Who's there?
[17:47] ---
Is that you, Satoko-chan?
[17:50] ---
How odd. You look just like Satoko-chan,
but you surely aren't her.
[17:57] ---
Have you taken care of my dear Rika?
[18:00] ---
Whyever do you ask?
[18:03] ---
It's extremely important that I know.
[18:07] ---
Oh.
[18:10] ---
Seems I needn't worry after all.
[18:21] ---
I see. There was a demon in our midst.
[18:29] ---
I'm not a demon.
[18:38] ---
You know good and well that
when Oyashiro-sama gets mad,
[18:41] ---
the good women of the Furude family must
be sacrificed to quell his wrath, yes?
[18:47] ---
...shut up.
[18:50] ---
You must be happy to be followin' in
your ancestors' footsteps, miss Rika.
[18:56] ---
Just shut up.
[18:58] ---
How can they still not get it?!
[19:02] ---
Oryo-san's completely useless!
[19:04] ---
Same with Mion-chan!
[19:06] ---
No one understands their
responsibility to this village!
[19:09] ---
Damn whippersnappers...
[19:12] ---
Kimiyoshi, could you finish your monologue
after tossing me in the swamp?
[19:17] ---
My, my, you sure understand the roles
and responsibilities our families play!
[19:22] ---
No, your breath just stinks.
[19:25] ---
How dare you talk back to your elders?!
[19:27] ---
You rude little wretch!
[19:48] ---
Oyashiro-sama, Oyashiro-sama!
Please, be angry no more!
[19:52] ---
Let this have quelled your rage!
Please, forgive us!
[19:56] ---
If she can hold her breath this long,
[19:59] ---
then she'll have doubled the world record.
[20:12] ---
Now things are really getting fun, Rena!
[20:15] ---
How can you say that, Keiichi-kun?!
This isn't fun at all!
[20:21] ---
Well, I've been having a ton of fun!
[20:24] ---
But I bet it'll be even more fun
when I split your head open!
[20:33] ---
It doesn't stop.
[20:38] ---
Boy, fun like this
reminds me of club, doesn't it?!
[20:41] ---
You're right, but look!
[20:44] ---
Nobody wants to live in this world!
[20:49] ---
This is all just a bad dream!
[20:52] ---
So please, wake up, Keiichi-kun!
[20:59] ---
It won't give me a place
or time to catch my breath.
[21:12] ---
Truly, there are no better
storytellers than the lot of you.
[21:17] ---
I am quite satisfied, child of man.
[21:20] ---
The story you are weaving
will surely cure me of my boredom!
[21:37] ---
What's this?
[21:57] ---
If it isn't my darling failure.
[22:03] ---
At long last, I've found you!
