[00:04] ---
    Th-The hell're these guys doin'?!
[00:06] ---
    Whaddya want?!
[00:09] ---
    What's goin' on?
[00:11] ---
    All right, all right, what's going on over here?
[00:18] ---
    Oh, hello, Detective!
[00:20] ---
    They were trying to
    extort money out of my friend!
[00:21] ---
    --The hell?!
    --He messed with our bikes!
[00:24] ---
    All right, all right!
[00:28] ---
    Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?
[00:32] ---
    No, I'm fine.
[00:35] ---
    Well, that's good, at least.
[00:38] ---
    Thanks for the timely call.
[00:41] ---
    Thank you for all your hard work,
    Detective Ooishi.
[00:44] ---
    A first-division detective shouldn't
    need to waste his time out here.
[00:47] ---
    Oh, no. We were heading back to
    the station when the call came in.
[00:52] ---
    We just had to take a little detour, that's all.
[00:55] ---
    Keep up the hard work, Detective!
[01:26] ---
    Stifling air quietly shaking me
[01:29] ---
    Suggestive silence
[01:33] ---
    The distortions in the light
    growing more twisted
[01:36] ---
    Logic lost to me now
[01:40] ---
    I believe what you said
[01:43] ---
    A place I long to return to
[01:47] ---
    Distinct scenery
[01:50] ---
    She sneered as she declared she wanted it all
[01:55] ---
    I've always felt your joy
[01:59] ---
    I've always felt your tears
[02:03] ---
    No one was closer to you,
    now those memories haunt me
[02:09] ---
    The one and only answer
[02:12] ---
    The door I was searching for
[02:16] ---
    Slowly opened just now,
    and revealed to me
[02:23] ---
    Something engulfed in the bright light
[02:31] ---
    The true nature of everything
[02:31] ---
    "Higurashi: When They Cry GOU"
    The true nature of everything
[02:35] ---
    The true nature of everything
[02:39] ---
    You really saved my skin back there.
[02:41] ---
    Thank you so much, Shion.
[02:43] ---
    C'mon, turn that frown upside down.
[02:46] ---
    I've gotta thank you for this somehow.
[02:48] ---
    How about... you come help me
    the next time I'm in trouble?
[02:53] ---
    Y-Yeah, I can do that. Promise.
[02:58] ---
    You better keep that promise!
[03:00] ---
    Boy, I hope I get into trouble soon...
[03:03] ---
    There's that smile!
[03:06] ---
    You're not the real Kei-chan at all
    when you're all down in the dumps!
[03:09] ---
    C-Cut it out!
[03:10] ---
    Wait, Shion, aren't you in
    the middle of a shift right now?!
[03:13] ---
    I told my manager you saved me
    from a bunch of no-good punks,
[03:18] ---
    so he said I should treat you!
[03:20] ---
    Th-That's the complete opposite of
    what happened... You're okay with that?
[03:25] ---
    Of course.
[03:27] ---
    Especially because...
[03:29] ---
    You must've been scared
    when everyone walked up like that.
[03:32] ---
    They were all people from Hinamizawa, right?
[03:35] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[03:36] ---
    If someone threatens one of us,
    they threaten all of us.
[03:38] ---
    We can always count on each other to help.
[03:41] ---
    Everyone's pretty close-knit, huh.
[03:43] ---
    For decades now, the residents of
    Hinamizawa have banded together
[03:47] ---
    to fight whatever threatens
    the future of the village.
[03:50] ---
    Is that right?
[03:51] ---
    Kei-chan, have you heard about
    the Hinamizawa Dam Project?
[03:55] ---
    Yeah, the one that got canceled, right?
[03:58] ---
    Only due to the combined efforts
    of everyone in the village!
[04:01] ---
    Really?!
[04:03] ---
    The dam would have flooded
    many villages, including Hinamizawa.
[04:09] ---
    "Get out of Hinamizawa!"
    "Stop the Dam Project!"
    But when we ramped up our protests,
[04:11] ---
    "Get out of Hinamizawa!"
    "Stop the Dam Project!"
    the riot police began to
    get violent with our protestors.
[04:14] ---
    What?! The police really did that?!
[04:17] ---
    They hit us and kicked us!
    They got me good a few times, too.
[04:22] ---
    After that, it was all-out war.
[04:24] ---
    We went to court to call for
    an injunction on the project
[04:27] ---
    and went to the city and prefectural
    assemblies to protest the project.
[04:30] ---
    "Riot Police Clash with Protestors"
    We did everything we could.
[04:33] ---
    "Riot Police Clash with Protestors"
    Our circle of support grew and grew,
[04:35] ---
    "Riot Police Clash with Protestors"
    until finally, the project was
    put on hold indefinitely!
[04:36] ---
    "Dam Project Suspended"
    until finally, the project was
    put on hold indefinitely!
[04:39] ---
    Everyone in the village came together to fight.
[04:42] ---
    Even now, the villagers hold fast
    to that strong notion of solidarity.
[04:46] ---
    It's pretty impressive that
    everyone banded together like that.
[04:52] ---
    The dam project was difficult for all of us,
[04:54] ---
    but I believe we grew and gained
    so much through overcoming that hardship.
[04:58] ---
    Sonozaki-san! Sorry to interrupt,
    but could you help out on register?
[05:02] ---
    Oh, yes, right away!
[05:04] ---
    Sorry, I've got to get back to work.
[05:08] ---
    Hey, Mion!
[05:11] ---
    Thanks again for everything today.
[05:13] ---
    I'll make it up to you, I swear.
[05:15] ---
    Then I truly hope you will.
[05:18] ---
    See you later!
[05:22] ---
    Keiichi, call for you from Sonozaki-san!
[05:26] ---
    Okay!
[05:27] ---
    Hey there, I'm not coming
    for club stuff at this hour.
[05:30] ---
    Huh?! Wait, umm...
[05:34] ---
    S-Sorry, I thought you
    were Mion... Is this Shion?
[05:38] ---
    Yes.
[05:39] ---
    Umm, do you like desserts, Kei-chan?
[05:43] ---
    Yeah, I'm always down for dessert!
[05:45] ---
    Well, Angel Mort is looking for someone
    to taste-test their new dessert menu.
[05:51] ---
    Would you be interested at all?
[05:53] ---
    Huh? Well, yeah, but are you sure it's okay?
[05:56] ---
    Of course! Please come to
    the restaurant tomorrow after school.
[06:01] ---
    Have a good night!
[06:03] ---
    Yeah, you, too.
[06:05] ---
    Man, Shion's doing so dang much for me...
[06:12] ---
    "Dessert Festival Today!"
    "Tables reserved for customers with invitations"
[06:15] ---
    Hello there! Welcome to Angel Mort!
[06:18] ---
    Hey, Shion! I'm here to help out.
[06:22] ---
    Umm, can I borrow you for a bit
    after I'm done with work?
[06:26] ---
    Sure, I've got nothing else
    going on. Fine by me.
[06:29] ---
    Okay! Just hang out here until then. Thanks!
[06:36] ---
    Everything's so big!
[06:37] ---
    And so good!
[06:40] ---
    Next on the menu is our
    Tropical Cinnamon Love Affair!
[06:45] ---
    This one looks awesome, too!
[06:48] ---
    What the dink are you doing?!
[06:50] ---
    I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to
    get it on your clothes, sir...
[06:55] ---
    Dang, did Shion trip?
[06:58] ---
    Well, sweetie, make it up to me
    by wiping it up before it stains!
[07:03] ---
    Huh?
[07:04] ---
    He stuck his leg out and tripped her.
[07:07] ---
    Wait, he did it on purpose?!
[07:09] ---
    There's not much we can do about it.
    We have to keep our customers happy.
[07:12] ---
    C'mon, get to cleaning!
[07:18] ---
    Shut up, you fat pig! Get the hell
    outta here before I kick your ass!
[07:22] ---
    K-Kei-chan...
[07:25] ---
    I don't think you get what's going on here.
    I'm teaching her a lesson!
[07:29] ---
    You're the one who needs a lesson taught,
[07:31] ---
    you frickin' creep!
[07:35] ---
    Kei-chan!
[07:41] ---
    Huh? Where am I?
[07:43] ---
    Thank goodness, you're awake.
[07:46] ---
    Oh, right. He beat the crap outta me...
[07:50] ---
    Are you all right? I'm so sorry
    you got hurt because of me...
[07:56] ---
    No, I'm sorry I couldn't really help.
    I didn't even win the fight I started.
[08:02] ---
    That doesn't matter.
    I'm just glad you came to help me.
[08:11] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
[08:15] ---
    It's starting to get dark. We should hurry!
[08:17] ---
    H-Hey!
[08:20] ---
    Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Shion Sonozaki.
[08:24] ---
    My older twin sister is rough around the edges
    and somewhat overbearing,
[08:27] ---
    while I'm a bit more refined and mature.
[08:30] ---
    What's Mion told you about me, Shion?
[08:34] ---
    She's told me about club, how you
    got her good, then how she got you back...
[08:38] ---
    The two of you sound really close.
[08:41] ---
    Look at these. Aren't they pretty?
[08:44] ---
    Yeah, sure are.
[08:48] ---
    Wha--?!
[08:49] ---
    C'mon, no need to overreact.
[08:52] ---
    Linking arms with a girl
    can't be that embarrassing, can it?
[08:56] ---
    I-I-I'm not embarrassed!
[08:59] ---
    If you want an arm that bad,
    you can have whichever you want. Here.
[09:05] ---
    You never fail to entertain me, Kei-chan.
[09:10] ---
    There are some softer parts of Mion
    that I'm not particularly fond of.
[09:14] ---
    Do you two not get along that well?
[09:18] ---
    Oh, we get along well enough.
[09:21] ---
    But there are a few things
    that still don't sit well with me.
[09:27] ---
    Oh!
[09:32] ---
    Look at them! They're so cute!
[09:34] ---
    I know this place...
[09:36] ---
    If I said I wanted one...
[09:39] ---
    ...would you buy one for me, Kei-chan?
[09:43] ---
    Sure.
[09:44] ---
    I've gotta make it up to you for today,
    anyway, so I don't mind treating you.
[09:53] ---
    Huh? Wait, don't you...
[09:55] ---
    You're sure you want to treat me?
    This one with the dress is quite expensive.
[10:00] ---
    The price isn't important.
    It's the thought that counts.
[10:05] ---
    Excuse me! I'd like to buy that doll
    with the dress in the window!
[10:10] ---
    Sure!
[10:12] ---
    Let me get--
[10:14] ---
    --Mion?!
    --K-Kei-chan?!
[10:16] ---
    And why the hell are you here?!
[10:21] ---
    I've been telling you from the very beginning.
[10:23] ---
    I'm Shion Sonozaki, Mion's younger twin sister.
[10:27] ---
    Why are you surprised? You've been
    calling me by my name this whole time!
[10:31] ---
    B-But that's 'cause...
[10:33] ---
    Wh-What the hell is going on here?!
[10:35] ---
    Start talking, Shion!
[10:36] ---
    Oh, nothing! I just wanted to see
    what your darling Kei-chan was like!
[10:42] ---
    But you called me yesterday, right, Mion?
[10:45] ---
    No, I didn't! I have no idea
    what you're talking about!
[10:48] ---
    I was the one who brought you
    those boxes full of food, too!
[10:53] ---
    N-No, that was m--
[10:54] ---
    Oh, wow, that's so unlike you, Mion! How bold!
[10:58] ---
    N-No, I...
[11:00] ---
    --Okay, okay, okay, okay!
[11:03] ---
    --See, Kei-chan?
    --Okay, okay, okay, okay!
[11:05] ---
    It's been me, Shion Sonozaki, all this time!
[11:09] ---
    Does that clear things up for you?
[11:11] ---
    Okay, miss! Get that doll
    wrapped up for me, yes?
[11:15] ---
    It's the first big gift from my beloved!
[11:32] ---
    That hits the spot!
[11:36] ---
    Hey, Rika-chan! Keep up the good work!
[11:41] ---
    You, too, Keiichi!
[11:43] ---
    --Very good, very good...
    --Little miss Rika's so much
    more confident this year.
[11:46] ---
    --Little miss Rika's so much
    more confident this year.
[11:52] ---
    Hey, Kei-chan, workin' hard?
[11:54] ---
    Yeah, bet you are, too!
[12:04] ---
    I'm pooped!
[12:05] ---
    Good work, Kei-chan.
[12:08] ---
    Thanks, Mi...
[12:09] ---
    Wait!
[12:10] ---
    Hello! I'm Shion, the thoughtful sister!
[12:14] ---
    You brat!
[12:16] ---
    Hey, you're the one who
    got us mixed up, Kei-chan.
[12:20] ---
    Dang it, I can't even deny it...
[12:27] ---
    Sh-Shion!
[12:28] ---
    Why're you hanging around Kei-chan again?!
[12:31] ---
    Because unlike you, I'm considerate of others!
[12:35] ---
    Speaking of which, why are you
    holding two cups of barley tea?
[12:39] ---
    Well, um, uh...
[12:43] ---
    'Cause I was super thirsty!
[12:46] ---
    My, Mion, look at you
    gulp that down! How charming.
[12:50] ---
    I frickin' hate you, Shion!
[12:52] ---
    Now even more than before!
[13:00] ---
    Good evening.
[13:02] ---
    Well, if it isn't old man Tomitake
    and Takano-san!
[13:06] ---
    Shion-chan? What a pleasant surprise.
    You don't come up here often.
[13:10] ---
    Likewise. It's been quite a while.
[13:13] ---
    And you must be that transfer student
    I heard about, Keiichi Maebara-kun.
[13:17] ---
    Uhh... Have we met somewhere before?
[13:20] ---
    I'm glad you remember my face!
[13:22] ---
    We've passed each other on the road a few times.
[13:25] ---
    I'm Tomitake, a freelance
    photographer from Tokyo.
[13:29] ---
    How about me? Do you know who I am?
[13:32] ---
    Sorry, I don't.
[13:35] ---
    That's Miyo Takano-san.
    She works over at the medical clinic.
[13:39] ---
    Let me know when you come in
    for your next checkup.
[13:41] ---
    I'll get my biggest needles ready for you.
[13:44] ---
    Hello there, everyone!
[13:46] ---
    My, Ooishi-san, good evening.
[13:49] ---
    Here to scope out security for tomorrow?
[13:53] ---
    You've got me there.
[13:55] ---
    Oh, Tomitake-san! Long time no see.
[13:59] ---
    You remember my name! I feel so honored.
[14:03] ---
    You sure do love Hinamizawa, don't you?
[14:07] ---
    All right, everyone, have a good year.
[14:10] ---
    Detective Ooishi?
[14:12] ---
    We'll be counting on you
    and your team's hard work this year.
[14:15] ---
    I'd like this year's Watanagashi
    to pass without incident.
[14:19] ---
    I've got my work cut out for me, then!
[14:23] ---
    You're talking about
    Oyashiro-sama's curse, right?
[14:27] ---
    Kei-chan, I'm feeling kinda hungry.
[14:30] ---
    Let's go get some snacks
    from the volunteer tent.
[14:33] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[14:35] ---
    C'mon, let's go!
[14:37] ---
    I wonder who will die
    and who will disappear this year.
[14:42] ---
    What did you just say?
[14:49] ---
    C'mon, Kei-chan. It's a super lame story.
[14:52] ---
    You haven't told Kei-chan about it yet?
[14:56] ---
    Wait, guys, hold on. What are you talking about?
[14:59] ---
    I don't wanna be the only one left out.
[15:04] ---
    Fine, I'm gonna go, then.
[15:07] ---
    You better come quick,
    or I'll eat all your snacks, too!
[15:10] ---
    Yeah, I got it, okay?
[15:19] ---
    Do you believe in curses, Maebara-kun?
[15:23] ---
    Huh?
[15:24] ---
    Do you know about the Hinamizawa Dam Project?
[15:27] ---
    Yeah.
[15:29] ---
    The villagers who banded together
    to protest the project
[15:32] ---
    set up their base of operations here,
    at the shrine to Oyashiro-sama,
[15:34] ---
    hoping the guardian deity
    would ensure their victory.
[15:39] ---
    All superstition, of course, until...
[15:43] ---
    ...something happened.
[15:45] ---
    By something, you mean the curse?
[15:48] ---
    The construction manager for the dam project...
[15:52] ---
    ...was murdered.
[15:53] ---
    Huh?!
[15:55] ---
    They attacked him with pickaxes,
[15:57] ---
    then dismembered him and disposed of the pieces.
[16:02] ---
    One of the attackers got away,
    and the victim's right arm is still missing.
[16:08] ---
    The year after, a couple who supported
    the dam project fell from a cliff.
[16:14] ---
    The man's body was found,
    but they never found his wife.
[16:18] ---
    The year after that, the shrine's priest
    who'd stayed out of the drama,
[16:23] ---
    suddenly died of mysterious causes.
[16:26] ---
    His wife left a suicide note
    and disappeared, as if to join him.
[16:30] ---
    The next year--last year--
[16:33] ---
    the wife of the younger brother
    of the man who fell to his death
[16:36] ---
    was found dead, apparently beaten to death.
[16:39] ---
    The interesting thing about these incidents
[16:44] ---
    is they all happened on the night of
    the Watanagashi festival.
[16:48] ---
    Huh?!
[16:49] ---
    Everyone involved with the dam project
    is dying off, one by one...
[16:54] ---
    So the terrified villagers have begun
    to believe it's Oyashiro-sama's curse.
[17:00] ---
    What do you think, Keiichi-kun?
[17:02] ---
    I don't think all that happened
    because of some curse.
[17:06] ---
    I understand why people might
    want to believe that, though.
[17:09] ---
    Good. I knew you'd think
    rationally about this, Kei-chan.
[17:13] ---
    If it's not a curse,
    and certainly not a coincidence,
[17:17] ---
    it certainly makes you wonder
    what will happen next.
[17:22] ---
    Huh?
[17:23] ---
    Takano-san thinks a person
    or people are responsible for it all.
[17:28] ---
    Well, that has to be the answer.
[17:30] ---
    It only makes sense if someone
    is orchestrating everything.
[17:33] ---
    We have proof, too,
[17:35] ---
    that the people of Hinamizawa are
    involved with Oyashiro-sama's curse.
[17:38] ---
    H-Huh?! What kind of proof?
[17:41] ---
    Every year, one person dies,
    and one person disappears.
[17:45] ---
    Disappears? You mean like, they go missing?
[17:49] ---
    Legend says that in Hinamizawa, long ago,
[17:52] ---
    villagers offered up human sacrifices
    to Oyashiro-sama to quell its wrath.
[17:57] ---
    H-Human sacrifices?!
[17:59] ---
    Yes, they would be wrapped in a bamboo mat,
[18:02] ---
    then thrown in the swamp, left to drown
    as they slowly sunk into its waters...
[18:09] ---
    Are you trying to say that
    when someone "disappears,"
[18:13] ---
    they actually get sacrificed to Oyashiro-sama?!
[18:16] ---
    Someone will be killed
    in the name of Oyashiro-sama's curse,
[18:20] ---
    and someone will be offered up in sacrifice.
[18:23] ---
    Wait, Shion, then...
[18:26] ---

    Wait, Shion, then...
[18:26] ---
    "Furude Shrine"
    Then that means someone
    in Hinamizawa is doing all this!
[18:37] ---
    The Watanagashi festival is tomorrow.
[18:40] ---
    I don't want anyone to
    die or disappear, not at all.
[18:48] ---
    It's tomorrow...
[18:51] ---
    Tomorrow, who will die, and who will disappear?
[19:00] ---
    "Sunday, June 19th"
[19:06] ---
    They went all-out this year, too!
[19:07] ---
    'Cause everyone in Hinamizawa is here.
[19:10] ---
    Damn.
[19:12] ---
    There's Rika-chan and Satoko-chan!
[19:15] ---
    Over here!
[19:17] ---
    My, if it isn't my illustrious friends!
[19:20] ---
    --Good evening, everyone!
    --Good evening.
[19:25] ---
    Rika-chan! I wanna take you home!
[19:29] ---
    Almost time for your big dance.
[19:31] ---
    I'm a little nervous.
[19:34] ---
    You're going to absolutely wow everyone!
[19:36] ---
    We'll be cheering you on from the audience, too!
[19:39] ---
    Chin up, Rika-chan!
[19:40] ---
    You got this!
[19:49] ---
    Where'd everyone go?
[19:55] ---
    Dang it, I can't see anything!
[19:58] ---
    Kei-chan!
[20:00] ---
    Come with me.
[20:01] ---
    Huh?
[20:02] ---
    Hey, where're we going?
[20:04] ---
    We're headed away from the festival!
[20:07] ---
    Stay quiet and follow me, okay?
[20:11] ---
    Here! Look over there.
[20:21] ---
    Wait, Shion... Did you bring me here
    just to show me this?
[20:24] ---
    --That's right.
    --I thought you were taking me somewhere
    we could watch Rika-chan's dance!
[20:26] ---
    --I thought you were taking me somewhere
    we could watch Rika-chan's dance!
[20:29] ---
    You wanted to watch her dance that badly?
[20:31] ---
    If that's what you're into, then I may
    need to reevaluate my opinion of you...
[20:36] ---
    Ugh. I'm leaving.
[20:38] ---
    My, my, who do we have here?
[20:41] ---
    Boy, Keiichi, you're smoother than I thought!
[20:44] ---
    Hooking up with your
    girlfriend out here, are you?
[20:48] ---
    Isn't that what you two are doing out here?
[20:50] ---
    Unfortunately, we're not doing
    anything you'd enjoy watching.
[20:58] ---
    Then what are you doing?
[21:01] ---
    Don't tell anyone we were
    breaking into the storehouse, okay?
[21:04] ---
    Don't tell anyone? Are you trying to
    steal from it or something?!
[21:07] ---
    Not at all. We just wanted to see what's inside.
[21:13] ---
    This "forbidden" storehouse
    is for old ritual tools.
[21:17] ---
    Only members of the Furude family
    and a select few are allowed to enter,
[21:21] ---
    as outsiders would "defile"
    the incredibly sacred site.
[21:25] ---
    So shouldn't you, you know, keep out of there?!
[21:28] ---
    Yes, but all the answers to my many
    curious questions lie behind this door!
[21:35] ---
    --Got it open.
    --Thank you!
[21:36] ---
    It's finally time.
[21:38] ---
    Well? You're our partners in crime, now.
[21:41] ---
    Would you like to come take a look with us?
[21:44] ---
    Wh-What? We don't want to be
    partners in crime with you or--
[21:47] ---
    It sounds interesting! Let's go look.
[21:51] ---
    But we're not supposed to go in there.
[21:54] ---
    It's a sacred building, right?
[21:56] ---
    Since I'm part of the Sonozaki family,
[22:00] ---
    I have an idea of
    what kind of tools are in there.
[22:03] ---
    And I want you to see them, Kei-chan.
[22:06] ---
    You want me to see?
[22:09] ---
    Still...
[22:12] ---
    If you get in there and you're bored,
    you can leave, Kei-chan.
[22:16] ---
    But I think you'll be quite
    fascinated by what's inside.
[22:19] ---
    Or are you afraid of the curse?
[22:23] ---
    I-I'm not afraid of any curse!
[22:27] ---
    I'll keep watch out here.
[22:30] ---
    Go in and have a look.
[22:32] ---
    A young guy like you might find
    the stuff in there pretty fascinating.
[22:39] ---
    Okay, I'll take a peek.
    But if I'm not into it, I'm leaving.
[22:43] ---
    That's what I wanted to hear!
[22:48] ---
    You've made your choice, then.
[22:50] ---
    Let's go.
[22:56] ---
    I want to believe in you,
    so I won't falter
[23:03] ---
    Those precious words you said
    that day are silent
[23:12] ---
    As if casting an ominous pity
    upon everything
[23:22] ---
    I shiver and despair over my own helplessness
[23:39] ---
