Isn't it? I know at least the new art doesn't have the naked Satoko sprite, it wouldn't surprise me if the original sprite of a naked 11-year-old isn't in the Steam release either to avoid controversy.

You guys are as ignorant as the people you're making fun of. Have none of you actually read Higurashi?

The situation is as follows (major Higurashi ep3 spoilers): Satoko was in the bath because her abusive uncle told her to stay there, even though she's getting some pretty severe hyperthermia. Keiichi heard her uncle was still alive even though he killed him, so he heads to their house to re-kill the uncle with an axe (covered up with newspaper to not stand out), and ends up discovering Satoko on the verge of losing consciousness. (Up to this point, no Satoko sprite is shown.) He helps her out of the bath and decides to take her to the clinic, but because the heat affected her skin she can't put on her clothes or anything else to wear, so she takes a towel with her to not be completely naked. (Enter Satoko with a towel sprite. Note that she's not actually 'wearing' the towel, she's just holding it; having it brush against her skin would defeat the entire point.) Satoko is delirious during the entire scene.

Along the way, they find a well with Rika's chopped-up corpse inside. A short while later, while they're near the bridge, a gust of wind blows away Keiichi's newspaper and reveals the axe he was carrying. The already confused and paranoid Satoko draws the wrong conclusion and starts panicking. This eventually ends with Satoko pushing Keiichi off the bridge, him barely hanging on and her stomping on his hands until he lets go. At some point during this scuffle, she drops her towel, more concerned with protecting her life than with not being naked (the original version has a naked Satoko sprite for this).


Non-spoiler version: Satoko has towel and non-sexual naked sprite in the original. Having her wrap the towel around her body makes zero sense in context.

I agree. The new sprite looks pretty sexy (something I'd normally welcome), which doesn't really fit Satoko's character and especially not in this scene, where it becomes clearer than ever that she's a vulnerable child. And with a design like that, having a naked sprite definitely wouldn't fly, while her dropping her towel significantly adds to the original scene.

Still, it's better than the other two sprites, which just makes absolutely zero sense in context. She looks like she just had a good long bath and is kind of tired now. Well, she DID have a good long bath, but...
