**[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!
