OP here. Forgot to add, no this isnt a fucking april fool's joke. I wish that was the case. My misfortune and timing couldn't be worse. The lost siesta410 image in question looks like like these 6 images merged together into the perfect fanart and to some extent scarily resembles @TheGoldenSmurf's visual style (a fantastic artist that sometimes posts into this threads) but otherwise the image isn't in the aforementioned person's gallery either. I lowkey catboxed away my fav piece of art like some idiot, as if accidentally burning up the real Mona Lisa painting. No amount of self-loathing would make this mistake right, not even giving half a limb and I'm dead serious I would give offer my dominant hand at this point to have that image back.

>>21085729
Never drew 410 (...yet?) so it couldn’t have been by me. Good luck with finding that pic though.

>>21085729
You know what you have to do to get it back. Train hard and redraw it yourself.

>>21085596
Knowing it's 410, I could fap to this.

Why the fuck does Xiaolan look so much older in the manga? Am I missing something?

She was a short kid in the VN.

>>21085729
Something about her personality makes me think she's got a super hairy pussy.

Got any good april fools fake leaks I could pass on to some 07 nerds?

G-Guys, she'll be back. Right?

Right guys?

This looks like RGD + crazy technology that gives people witch-like abilities.

I'm glad Cornelia is returning as one of the battle nuns. She was underutilized in Umineko.

>>21087198
Did they get together in the end?

Reminder that Mion has no friends because K1 is her love interest and Rena is her love rival. The others are a couple of preteens not mature enough to have a deep conversation with her or understand her teenage problems.

Mion has no friends! Even her sister doesn't work as a friend because they are twins, which makes for a super awkward friendship in which both girls know exactly what the other looks like naked! A friendship without dignity!

Doesn't it feel wrong that the versions of Rika's friends that ultimately reach a happy ending are not the same ones that we saw struggle and develop over the course of their respective arcs?

They are still the same people, but that doesn't mean they aren't completely fucked in all the previous universes.

>>21088745
Was it confirmed that each kakera is it's own separate universe and not just a loop?

>>21088745
Rika herself didn’t seems to understand that until Minagoroshi.

>>21088773
It’s confirmed by the fact the world keeps going after Rika’s death. And not for just a few days.

If witches are real they should prove it by liking my post. It will never happen.

>>21088745
Really though, there should be plenty of other Kakeras where the club didn't die. If there's an entire multiverse out there, then there should have been at least a few where Takano died prior to the 1983 festival in a car accident or something. Any number of little things could have disrupted the plan to exterminate the village.

I know that WTC5 will be good in its own right but honestly I would rather Ryukishi just keep making mysteries with the umineko mechanics forever. Red/Blue truth, detectives authority and the Knox rules are just too good to remain in just Umineko forever

>>21088840
Honestly this, I'd like to see other stories using them.

I just want one arc from Mion's POV.

>>21088889
Yeah that's what I mean, new gameboards and new characters.

>>21088773
Only animefags would ever come to the conclusion that it's a time loop.

>>21088811
Takano's willpower defies statistical probability, and her glare alone can part oncoming traffic.

IT'S UP

>>21088968
>MUH WILLPOWER
In other words the dumb cunt was blessed with author fiat.

Hell, Shion actually did ruin Takano's plan by accident in at least two universes. Rika's body wasn't discovered by the authorities until days after her death. And we know from the arc endings that the extermination never took place, because characters like Rena and Chie lived on to the mid-2000s.

>>21088811
Those universes are just possibilities and don't truly "exist" until someone experiences them. Rika and Hanyuu can only reach worlds that are all exactly the same as their original world up until the two weeks before the festival, because they are kind of time-travelling except through alternate universes.

Since they are apparently the only beings capable of travelling through the infinite sea of possibilities, they are the only ones that can turn those "possible" worlds into REAL parallel worlds that truly exist.

It's "possible" for Takano to die in a car accident during the previous year or something, but a world like that doesn't truly exist in the multiverse and never will, because Hanyuu is incapable of taking Rika that far back.

Takano has planned for almost every possible thing that could go wrong. Even the worst sort of bad luck can't really fuck it up, she made sure of that.

The whole idea is that Hanyuu keeps "going back" to slightly different parallel worlds to try again, making them real in the process (as opposed to "possible"). But the fate that Takano has planned for is so firm and so hard to mess up that it happens in every single world Hanyuu can reach. She has a limit and can't just take Rika to a completely different world where Takano was raised differently or Rika's family moved out of town when she was a baby.

Without a witch to experience them at least once, any of the endless parallel worlds is just a world that had the chance to exist but never did.

As for the Umineko gameboards, they are fiction written by an author within a single kakera, but the events portrayed in each gameboard COULD have happened exactly the same way in the real world, as one of the endless results of Yasu's roulette. So, while they are fictional stories in Ange's world, they exist as possible parallel worlds. And since a bunch of witches have actually played around with the gameboard in the meta, all the things portrayed in the gameboards are actual events that the family experienced in several alternate universes. They have become real thanks to the witches experiencing them as stories from the MC's point of view. They are just as real as Ange's world now.

>>21089029
>Those universes are just possibilities and don't truly "exist" until someone experiences them.
Why don't the Higurashi characters count as observers? Are they just NPCs?
If Rika or Hanyuu is required for a world to be observed then did world not exist until after they were born?

>>21089012
I was mostly joking.
But I think you're missing the point, what matters to Takano is leaving a legacy behind. And if anyone dies, period. It's game over for Rika. We're not just talking about a kakera where the club survives. Rika was always after a kakera where everyone survives.
Speaking of, even if Takano dies before the festival, don't forget how many other groups are still in backroom feuds over the disease. It is practically guaranteed all of them would come to a similar conclusion as Takano once they were caught in a pinch, kill Rika, scorched earth policy.

>>21089029
Honestly, 1983 is like a dead end of fate for Rika and the others. If Takano's plan somehow fails, which it does in a couple of arcs, there is always some other fucked up thing that could happen anyway. It's like the universe really wants there to be a tragedy during June of that year.

Every piece is set up so that Rika is trapped there and can't get away from the government conspiracy, the madness, the friends that are a step away from snapping or the fucking uncle showing up. If one problem disappears, three more will replace it.

>>21089001
Fully colored Flauros is cute!

How is Bern able to act so cool, cold and edgy with a straight face when Rika was such an incompetent retard?

>>21089043
If you travelled back in time and created a split in the timeline by changing something (your mere presence in the past even for a second would technically alter it), that new timeline would be just as real as the one you came from. Just not from your perspective. But every person in that universe would experience their lives.

Before you travelled back in time, that alternate world was just a possibility. It failed to exist. It never happened, something else happened instead. But by time travelling and making it happen, you are creating a new world.

It's the same here except Hanyuu isn't creating timelines. She's just accessing dormant worlds that don't truly exist (there is one for every single particle movement since the big-bang, every single one would spawn a new world) and making them exist for real.

Before she did any of this, all the causes and effects since the beginning of the universe until Rika's death had happened in a certain way. There was a single real world and an endless number of possible, imagined worlds that never happened because things happened differently, people made decisions, etc. Once you start dealing with higher worlds and multiverses is when you have the chance to make those imagined possible worlds real.

You had the chance to become friends with someone, but you never did. You had the chance to eat toast this morning, but you ate something else. You had the chance to get out of bed with your left foot, but you did it with the right foot. All those options you didn't choose would lead to different universes, but they aren't real. Reality is made up of the choices you did make. There is only one reality and an infinite number of discarded realities that failed to exist. But if you could time travel (by sending your mind back to your body a day ago, for example), you could make those worlds just as real as this one within the multiverse, one at a time. Until then, they are not on the same level. They have never been experienced by anyone, even if everyone's actions and thoughts within those worlds are already "written" because of determinism. Even so, they are all philosophical zombies, including the you in that world that never happened. Only when time travel shenanigans made it happen would those zombies gain a consciousness.

By consciousness I mean the "experience" of being someone and not someone else, not the mind. Your mind has nothing to do with your consciousness. Everything you ARE is physical, it's all a bunch of chemical reactions in the brain. And the brain itself creates consciousness. But the fact that that particular consciousness is you, despite the fact that other brains exist, proves that you are your consciousness. Your awareness, devoid of personality, memories or thoughts. Not your mind, emotions or thoughts, which are part of the brain and NOT really you.

>>21089075
Bernkastel is every dark thought Rika had in those countless years spent caged, passing murderous urges, lingering suicidal temptations and persistent sadistic pleasures. Bernkastel is her most cynical ideations, dripping with her hatred for the fate that betrayed her endlessly. Every negative emotion, crystallized, down to the tiniest white lies and spiteful pranks make up Bernkastel's existence. She's the culmination of every failed world Rika visited.
I don't really get why you think Rika was an incompetent retard though.

>>21089113
Okay that makes sense. Thanks for answering my points.

>>21089113
This also explains why Keiichi and the others have deja-vus of events from the previous chapters. They didn't really experience them (it's not a time loop), but alternate versions of them did. Those memories resonate with them sometimes, that's how Keiichi can have those weird flashbacks about things he never experienced. Another Keiichi experienced it in an earlier world. And no, this Keiichi is not a reincarnation of the previous one. That one is fucked for all eternity and so is the next.

The thing is that Rika made a bunch of worlds real and those worlds alone resonate with her friends. Nobody ever has strange deja-vus of that one parallel world where Keiichi grew up to have weaker morals and raped Rena during the festival. Because such a world doesn't exist. It could have existed if his parents made different decisions or if the events in his life had been different. But things didn't happen that way and no higher being made them happen that way. That world doesn't exist even though it's technically a possibility in the sea of fragments.

>>21089119
>I don't really get why you think Rika was an incompetent retard though.
Rika knew about the Yamainu right? If not at the beginning we see that she knew about them at some point. Every time she dies she sees the Yamainu going after her, why did she never suspect them? If she forgot why didn't Hanyuu tell her? When we get to Kai she literally has no idea who the culprit could be even though she knows there is a suspicious group of men who stalk her. Did she not question why they never saved her?
She had hundreds of years, how did she make so little progress?

>>21089132
Huh. I dunno.
I'm gonna sleep on it, and see if I have a good answer for that later. My future wife just can't be that retarded, there must be a good reason I'm not thinking of.

>>21089154
I'm looking forward to see if you reply. I'm really interested to see if this actually stumps anyone. Its been bothering me for a while.

>>21089119
>>21089132
Don't forget she knows exactly when her parents, Tomitake, and Takano are scheduled to die (or appears to die in the latter's case). She knows the explanation for the deaths of the dam foreman, Satoko's parents and aunt. But she should have been suspicious of the circumstances surrounding her parents' deaths, especially considering they happened right after her mother decided the experiments on Rika needed to stop. And Takano and Tomitake die just days before she's always scheduled to be murdered. There is no excuse for Rika making no effort to observe those murders.

>>21089132
Hanyuu loses her memories when she's too far away from Rika. Her existence is flimsy enough already, she can't just wander around to spy on people. If she tried to spy on Takano and Tomitake to see what the fuck kills them, the next second she would be sitting near Rika three hours later. Everything she learned while she was a way would be missing from her memory, stored away in her "god" personality's memory.

Remember how she literally observed Ooishi's entire fucking life since he was a kid? Or how she knew all about Takano's intentions during the prologue of Matsuribayashi? Or how her personality changed completely when she went into god mode?

She enters some sort of omniscient state when she's like that, but when she's around her reincarnation she forgets most of it and becomes more childish and naive.

It's like how Rika merges with "Bernkastel" in the sea of fragments every time she dies. When she's like that, she remembers every single memory of every single life, in full detail, since she's a purely meta being without the limitations of a physical brain. And that's also why she's so jaded during Higurashi, says that she doesn't really care about Hinamizawa anymore and talks about Rika in the third person. During this immaterial meta state, she can think fourth dimensionally and access all of her memories faster than a super computer, that's how she comes up with her XYZ theories and why her personality is so different.

Rika wouldn't be able to function if she had thousands of years worth of memories jammed into her physical brain, including the hundreds of repetitions of the exact same events and all the traumatizing shit that she went through in several arcs. She wouldn't be able to go on if she remembered what Shion did to her in detail. So, when Bernkastel is about to possess a the body of a new Rika in the next world, Hanyuu sort of "filters" her memories and doesn't let her remember the truly bad shit while she's human. That's why she's always "100 years old", even though she's probably lived far longer than that.

She really was retarded

>>21089206
Hanyuu just can't spy on anyone. She's literally part of Rika. If Rika can't see something herself but Hanyuu can, that information won't be remembered by the regular Hanyuu.

It's not some silly "distance" rule. Rika and Hanyuu are supposed to be the same soul, because she's her reincarnation. But it's a fucked up situation in which both can exist at the same time because of the legend.

They share the five senses and Hanyuu can only sense the world through Rika's body. That's why anything she sees, hears or experiences alone, any information that doesn't also enter Rika's brain, isn't being experienced by the regular Hanyuu. She's slipping into her god mode by accident, which means she won't remember it by the time she goes back to Rika.

>>21089229
Doesn't she literally spy on Satoko in the hospital though?
Even if she cant do that the alternative I proposed should have worked.

>>21087570
Bitchin' Satoshi!

>>21089235
She does. It happens in Minagoroshi-hen.

You really do have to grasp at straws to justify the appalling lack of effort Rika put into fighting fate. About the only times we see her actually try to fix things was with Akasaka in Himatsubushi-hen, and her attempt at stopping Shion in Meakashi-hen.

What is everyone's catchphrase?

Hideyoshi: "Give it a rest, Eva."

Genji: "Indeeeeeeed..."

Everyone: "I wouldn't put it past Kinzo."

Sento-kun: "It's useless! It's all useless!"

Kanon: "I'm kagu."

>>21089267
"I'm sorry, Battler! I can't hold it in any longer! Uu-uu-!!! I'm sorry!!" *farts*

Then, as a very, very natural result, Battler's mouth was filled with Maria's waste.

"UUUUUUOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH"

Battler screamed, trying to withstand the urge to vomit as Maria's essence invaded his mouth. His voiceless scream filled the cathedral.

Shortly after, he lost consciousness and fell like a puppet with its strings cut. A blooming deep-red rose appeared under his body... no, his corpse, and gradually grew larger, filling the room with the smell of iron.

Maria's face was bright red. She looked just like a tomato...... no, like a red apple.

Bernkastel and Lambdadelta cackled with wry smiles on their faces, apparently enjoying the show. It was only natural. After all, they truly were the cruelest witches in the world...... no, the cruelest witches in the universe.

>>21089278

>>21089281
This actually does read like it could have been written by Ryukishi.

She justは

It was only natural. She fell like a puppet with its strings cut. A blooming red rose spread under her broken skull. Then, as a very, very natural result, Rosa screamed at the heavens like an opera singer... no, like a mama wolf.

"UUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH"

Rosaのvoiceless scream filled the cathedral. She readied her winchester rifle and loaded three .410 caliber bullets. The goats' huge bodies fell on top of each other like domino tiles... no, like Mahjong tiles... no, like bowling pins... no, like chess pieces... no, like... *glass shatters*

>>21089248
Yeah i thought so. Unfortunate for that anon it seems like Hanyuu does have an arbitrary distance limit, unless you were to make some argument about that being weirdest case of a unreliable narrator in Higurashi.
Also I laughed at your choice of the word 'appalling' in this situation. A perfect way to put it

>>21089281
This pasta makes no sense without part 1, where it's established that Battler and Maria are part of a human centipede.

>>21089267
Bern: "Gerokasu"

Just got done with Chapter 3 of Higurashi, man that was a fucking wild ride, so far it's my favorite one.
I assume this is the last chapter right? After this one I need to play Meakshi?

>>21089281
"Wry smiles" and "bitchin' Satoshi" are the biggest memes from the old Mangagamer translation.

Reminder that they also refused to censor Satoko's buttass nakedness. They only did it for the Steam version because they can't show naked lolees there.

>>21089308
Prepare for Mahjong.

>>21089298
I can't think of any other word to describe it. A lot of the time it almost seems like Rika forgets the fact that she's not the only person in the equation. If she dies then everyone else is going to be gassed to death, her friend included. She could have at least made the effort of convincing them to flee to Okinomiya with their families if she was found murdered.

Or fuck, why not just leak the existence of the extermination plan to the public? People might not believe it at first, but "Tokyo" would be put into a corner. A volcanic disaster happening right after the girl's murder would only confirm that she was telling the truth.

>>21089309
The sight of the naked body of a loli is so corrupting and tempting, it should never be bared, even in solitude. For though the eyes of men may look away, the eyes of the Lord are always watching.

>>21089324
and how does that help ?
It doesn't matter what people discover after the volcanic stuff, Rika and her friends are dead
>>21089132
Rika forgets the event leading up to her death, that's why she forgot about Takano at the start of ep8
Hanyuu is the true vilain since she deliberately hides intel from Rika, because her goal is to let her into the time loop for as long as possible, s she does everything to make RIka struggle, without trying to make it obvious

the dumb ghost has brain damage

>>21089337
Assuming that Hanyuu never mentioned the Yamainu to her on purpsose, that still only eliminates the stuff I mentioned regarding the leadup to her death.
Why did she never suspect her stalker group or question why they never saved her?

>>21089345
haha I don"t know -Dragon Knight07

>>21089337
>and how does that help ?
It creates a MAD scenario. If the government is stupid enough to go through with it anyway, then they're fucked. Japan gets condemned by the international community and lynch mobs descend on the people involved in the massacre.

What the fuck.

So was the president really drunk at a party when they were asking for his permission to dispatch the self defense force?

Or was it a cover up story to explain the disaster? It has to be, right? Dude seemed pretty serious in Minagoroshi. Hell, nobody actually asked him for permission because there was no disaster.

>>21089361
>>fucking makes Rika possess an innocent bullied version of herself, murder her own mother and commit suicide in a world where they actually got along, sending her dad spiraling down into alcoholism to deal with the bizarre, out of nowhere crime with no motive

You're right with the rest but this one was just a dream like sequence.

Why is Type Moon so much more popular than 07th expansion ? I mean, 07th has quite a large fanbase but it looks tiny compared to Nasucuks.

>>21089361
Also, keeps showing off her big breasts which gave an inferiority complex to Rika.

>>21089361
>sending her dad spiraling down into alcoholism to deal with the bizarre, out of nowhere crime with no motive
Oh fuck. You just reminded me of the effects the arcs can have on the survivors. Poor Rena and Shion end up all alone in some worlds. And Keiichi's parents outlive their son in others.

>>21089381
More potential for milking. What really worked is Fate thanks to the servant and holy war concept, the rest of Type Moon's works are nothing like it in popularity.

>>21089371
She lied to Rika because she wanted her to feel better about what she did. She wanted her to stop the witch crap and treat other worlds as just "dreams". By choosing her former world, she is basically killing her mother, so she made her kill her for real to comprehend the weight of her choice.

We see that world being created by Bern during the secret ending of Matsuribayashi, so it has to be the real deal.

>>21089385
> And Keiichi's parents outlive their son in others.

In the majority of the arcs, if anything. Tatarigoroshi is amongst the few exceptions, otherwise Kei just dies along with them.
It's kind of a shame we don't see more death reactions onscreen after the main tragedies of each arcs happens.

>>21089399
Plus in the VN it's made clear that Rika can tell Hanyuu is lying to her.

>>21089278
Yup, this is getting a like from me

>>21089278
>>21089357
Do you think the Sonozaki twins like to force their boys to make out with each other?

>>21089385
I don't think anyone in the village survives in Onikakushi, unless Rika straight up vanished or did something drastic that ruined the plan.

In the epilogue they mention that Keiichi's letter is still being investigated a year later, so it's possible that nothing big happened. K1's crime would be overshadowed by something like that for sure.

>>21089416
Maybe Shion? She wasn't present in that arc, so she was probably over in Okinomiya at the time. The same would apply to the other Sonozakis who reside there, like Akane and Kasai. Teppei would probably be alive as well.

Keiichi's parents might have already left the village. The epilogue of Watanagashi-hen reveals they went back to Tokyo and still reside there in 2004. Plus the bits told from Ichirou's perspective suggest Keiichi's happiness with the place was the main reason they moved to Hinamizawa. There's not much point in sticking around without him.

>>21089385
Shion tends to kill herself in the hospital for some reason. And Kasai seems to be doomed to die of liver cancer by the early 2000s.

The fucked up thing is that Shion and Mion's parents survive no matter what because they live in Okinomiya. They either have to deal with the Shion mess for the rest of their lives or mourn the entire fucking village after the gas disaster.

>>21089425
> Keiichi's parents might have already left the village. The epilogue of Watanagashi-hen reveals they went back to Tokyo and still reside there in 2004.

They did plan to leave the village in Wata, didn't they?

>>21089426
>The fucked up thing is that Shion and Mion's parents survive no matter what because they live in Okinomiya.

Wrong. They die in Minagoroshi (in the manga, at least).
Very likely because they were staying a bit after the success of Kei's operation to save Satoko.

>>21089435
>they moved to the village to improve Keiichi's mental health
His father was manipulated by a little girl

>>21089437
Minagoroshi is like the worst possible ending, nobody lives. Fitting of its name I guess.

>>21089437
>>21089443
Shame we never got to see the aftermath with Takano in that arc. Just imagine the look on her face when she realizes that Okonogi and the Yamainu are going to liquidate her under Nomura's orders.

>>21089453
doesn't she die on her own because of the syndrome?

>>21089437
>Wrong. They die in Minagoroshi (in the manga, at least).
Where? I can't see them in that scan.

>>21089501
Bottom right anon, thats Shion's mother against the wall

>>21089511
>>21089501
Sorry not against the wall but on the floor. You can see her hair

>>21089501
Dude, there are only three panels.

>>21089511
The one on the wall is more likely Oryo. But Akane is also here seen from the back, her hairstyle is recognizable. And pretty sure that's the dad on the right.

>>21089480
I think she only gets it bad in the last arc, because everything is going wrong and she's stressed out. Tomitake uses it as a bullshit excuse for her previous actions, even though she made those decisions when she was sane.

I think she's healthy in the other arcs, but it's implied that they silence her at some point. Fucking illuminati won't leave witnesses. I think Takano herself brings up the possibility at some point.

I don't think she cares too much, though. After she fucked up her granpa's "Babel Tower" and got it destroyed, her goal switched to causing a big disaster to leave her mark in history.

>>21089511
Oh, I see the hair-bun now. But how do you know that isn't Oryou? She lives in Hinamizawa with Mion, while Akane lives in Okinomiya with her husband and Shion. I remember Akane was confirmed to have survived the disaster in Yoigoshi-hen, right up until a rival gangster had her assassinated.

>>21089520
Jesus, that's disturbing.

Imagine faking your death and having the fucking illuminati after you for knowing too much. They could make you disappear and nobody would care because you are technically already dead.

>>21089520
Not to mention with Takano's faked death, she becomes a liability. She'd need to be confined to safe houses for the rest of her life, because if the wrong person spotted and recognized her that would put the entire cover-up at risk. Killing and burying her is the safest option.

>>21089435
Protecting that smile is a small price to pay.

>>21089520
It's all Hifumi's fault for killing himself in such a traumatic way. Like seriously, what the fuck.

>>21089564
And insisting so much about wanting a creepy ass theory of the whole village going crazy if the queen dies to be true. Which ends up being totally fake.

>>21089597
How did that theory even come about in the first place? Hifumi learns that the Furude family are revered by the community, and he just leaps to the conclusion that there's a magic control parasite keeping everything in check?

Plus is no one involved with the Irie Clinic capable of doing a simple background check on the villagers? The entire idea that the villagers need to always stay in proximity to Rika falls apart when you look at Rena and Shion's families. Rena only began to suffer the effects of Hinamizawa Syndrome after a traumatic event, and neither of her parents displayed symptoms even after spending years outside the village. Meanwhile Shion was far away at a boarding school for a long time and didn't suffer any symptoms. Nor do her parents and the other Sonozakis who live in Okinomiya.

"Tokyo" seems to be stupidly lax when it comes to their supposed quarantine of the village as well come to think of it. Ichirou should never have been allowed to buy property in the area. Not only does he add three more potential infectees, but his status as a celebrity artist attracts more outsiders to the village. We see people from the cities attend an event at the Maebara house in Tatarigoroshi-hen.

>>21089629
I guess they didn't have the rights to quarantine anything until Rika dies.

>>21089644
That's fucking stupid if they sincerely believe in the Queen Carrier theory. If Takano's theory is true, then it means that anyone who's been infected is going to go crazy and start killing people. That could even be people who simply went to Hinamizawa on a business trip or for sightseeing. So even wiping out the majority of the villagers wouldn't stop incidents from occurring elsewhere in Japan.

They should have gone to every effort possible to lock Hinamizawa down and make sure no more potential carriers take the Syndrome out of the village.

>>21089671
>That's fucking stupid if they sincerely believe in the Queen Carrier theory.

Oh, I agree with that, just saying.

But yeah, the plan was really sloppily made. But in a way, it's merely an excuse to make big heads of Tokyo fall, they never cared about the consequences of all that, so it's not unthinkable.

>>21089681
Everything is Nomura's plan, Takano being a metaphor for lambda, Rika for bern, Hanyuu for featherine and Nomura will be the blue witch in saku, being the real mastermind, being the "god" above bern mentionned in the saku op

Why the fuck did they change that first track in the tweet, that was one of my favourites.

Imagine if a group of fans had simply fan translated Higurashi back in the day.

We wouldn't have this mess today. We would've had a definitive version of Higurashi 10 years ago.

>>21090211
At least now the console arcs are finally getting translated. Judging by the schedule, we might finally get Miotsukushi-hen this year.

>>21090211

>>21090275
I wish we could read the console arcs with the original art.

I consider them pure fanfiction, but they are still interesting stories.

>>21090408
Are they really? Some of the scenarios are clearly similar to some of the manga ones, and it's a fact that Ryukishi supervised if not wrote the manga books.

that 410 edit is great, love the color of her top

>>21089345
>Why did she never suspect her stalker group or question why they never saved her?
The most rational explanation I can think of is that she assumes some internal conflict is going on when Takano and Tomitake are killed and that she loses the ability to contact them at all when Irie dies.

>might run recuva tonight to at least recover the filename.
I hope you're not writing anything to the hard drive you had the file on.

It was a portrait orientation like the one you have posted, showing about that much part of 410's body but unfortunately it isn't that image. Thx for the try tho.

>>21090887
the one good thing that came out of this whole lost 410 fiasco is having a reason to run through all the past threads like a possessed autist. i will probably give up once i hit 5 years worth of threads. if that fails, which by now im almost certain it will, i can only hope someone here had it saved and will casually re-post it when the siestas come up for topic. The sad thing is, it was truly fapworthy. This is a massive blow.

>>21090921
recuva ended up being an utter failure. forgot how bad of a recovery software it was when i last used it a year ago. it couldn't even recover a single image, let alone filenames. back to archived thread scavenging i go. at this point i doubt that i have any sanity left. that moment when your one of a kind chiester410 is demoned away without a trace is the most infuriating thing.

>>21095338
>Higanbana
Bullied loli kid who sucks at life gets raped in the ass and killed by her teacher. She becomes a youkai and is still a beta loser but less so. And one of the youkais becomes her friend but is kind of like a bully friend. Like when a bully hangs out with you constantly pretending to be your friend just to bully you in subtle ways.

It's pretty good, actually. The best chapters are ruined by spoilers, so I refuse to spoil anything else for you.

>>21095593
>that sprite on the helicopter window
Is this an edit?

>>21095593
My Japanese is pretty rough, but are they literally calling the helicopter "heri"?

Ryuukishi often gets criticized for not doing male characters as well as female ones.

But his male characters are actually pretty likeable and distinct from each other. Charles and Keiichi are both massive goofballs but you can tell which one is a genuine dunce and which one is a pretentious fuck on the inside.

>>21095657

>>21095252
She literally says "that's easier than farting for us alley rats" at one point in the VN.

Not only is she a lewd human girl, she is also uneducated and has no idea how humiliating the act of farting is. She is literally comfortable with talking about it in front of other people. Lewd!

>>21095757
I bet Zel was forced to fart on other girls' faces and got several enemas in a row, just to entertain her owner's clients.

Why live?

>>21095638
Probably. It's normal for English words to just be katakana abbreviations. For example, smartphone is sumafo.

>>21095797
Why do they use random English words for everyday objects, though?

I've seem them call a door "doa". Doesn't that shit make it hard to understand what they mean even if you know Japanese? Not to mention that using random foreign words like that would sound ridiculous in English.

>>21095811

>>21095872
It's exciting to see how low human dignity can drop. Especially if the human having her butt humiliated and her ego, dignity and pride torn apart is a cute girl.

It's just interesting from psychological standpoint, which would make any scientist rock hard.

Literally why live? As opposed to figuratively.

>>21096006
It renders all female characters automatically lewd, shameful and disgusting.

>>21096080
Nina is cute, so I wouldn't mind if she shat all over my face. It's kind of weird, because her face has nothing to do with her ass. And yet, it's her cute face, personality and voice that make her smelly human ass lewd rather than disgusting. The exact same ass would be nasty if it belonged to some ugly deformed bitch.

It's crazy how irrational this is!

>>21096098
It happens because you idealize her too much. She's super cute, which means that even something as disgusting as licking her human asshole seems like a better alternative to not having any contact with her whatsoever.

If you could bring your waifu to the real world but only to have her spit on your face, you would still do it. Even if you don't find that particularly lewd, it's still better than never getting to interact with her body or her fluids at all.

When a girl is cute enough, nothing about her can ever be truly disgusting. Especially if you have no chance with her otherwise. You would accept the most disgusting deals just to make contact with some part her body. Even if it's her asshole. The alternative hurts too much.

>>21096146
Isn't it better to refuse to lick Nina's asshole, go back home and cum buckets knowing that you humiliated her as a human being and made her feel dirty for having an asshole? I bet she never expected to be rejected like that! Her ego must have plummeted instantly! She will always be insecure about her human butthole now!

Why is asshole anon such an asshole?

Zel is my favorite character in all of RGD. She has a very natural charisma, one that is quite different from the cool guy routine that Leo employs. She doesn’t put on a show, she just does what comes naturally to her. She has a sharp mind and is a natural leader, able to quickly figure out the best way to put the skills of the other 3 wandering dogs to use. The three of them thought of themselves as useless, but they had incredibly talents and untapped potential and merely needed someone to guide them. Wayne for all his excellent character growth, failed to be the leader they needed and let their potential go unrealized.

>>21096490
She is also the secret Erika expy.

Seriously why does she look so much older in the manga?

Is she supposed to be this tall in the VN?

What the actual fuck is going on with her LEGS? Why is she spreading them like that?

Is this what she looks like all the time and we just can't see below her waist?

Post your FOUR favorite songs in each series. I've tried, but it's really fucking hard to choose so few, even in Higurashi. It's a tricky one, because the OST it's full of great tracks but most people have never head some of them due to the messy old Mangagamer releases. And also because half the fanbase has never read the actual VN...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NznBs7o4rFc

Dear You is great and all, but this is THE Higurashi theme for me, even if it only represents Miyoko. It's sounds so peaceful and timeless.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn1gNYUCIhw

This one is painful to listen to because I have vivid memories of it playing when Takano describes her grandfather's last years. It's heartbreaking to see a loved one with dementia, but having your grandpa commit suicide to prevent his mind from deteriorating any further... That's just fucked, man. You can really understand why she'd go so far to make his dreams come true and have his research acknowledged.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fDzd9ydZ24

I have a soft spot for this one, I don't know why. It just feels good and perfectly represents Keiichi's fun life after moving to Hinamizawa. I love it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2XADNEPG4o

Ooishi's theme before all the bad shit happened in Hinamizawa. It's perfect for him. He's a bad cop that doesn't play by the rules, which makes him really cool.

I tried to choose a peaceful one, a really sad one, an energetic one and a fun one. Otherwise I would've chosen the typical Kai songs that everybody loves. There are so many good ones, especially in Meakashi.

And you can't not include 'Birth and Death':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuY_v9k9W0E

I LOVE this one, it's incredibly underrated. It reminds me of Ange peacefully sleeping on Amakusa's car, finally free from the ghosts of the past.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul2C_5MAg1E

This one is FANTASTIC too and nobody ever talks about it. It's the perfect introduction to the story and plays while they are on the plane, as the names of all the characters appear on the screen. It's incredibly beautiful and perfectly sets the tone for the 100+ hour long emotional rollercoaster that is ahead of you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt4GGsj39H8

I like this one a lot. Kinzo reminiscing about all his past mistakes, which he can't do anything about anymore. It's pretty sad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO9AKnb1vww

Best song in Umineko, in my opinion. It's just amazing and plays exactly at the right time. It makes me think of Yasu's actions but from an outsider's perspective, maybe Lion's. Like reminiscing about a tragedy that happened so long ago that everyone involved has already found peace.

I also love Hope, Bring the fate, ALIVE, Happy Maria (the vocal one is incredibly fun to listen to). Umineko has a god tier OST.

>>21097036
I think my favorite scene in all of Higurashi is when Irie and Takano are talking about tomorrow's "festival" in Matsuribayashi. It's a very powerful scene full of double meanings. And then it immediately cuts to Ooishi and the club planning the 48-hour operation, without stopping the music. It's amazing how well done everything is, being Ryuukishi's first VN and all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7q_96FtUEU

The scene from 25:32 to 38:20 is my absolute favorite moment in the entire series. It's great even with the awkward old translation.

Does anyone know what that song is called? The one that plays when Irie and Takano are talking while looking at the sky. I love it, but I can't find the name.

Higurashi got actual covers for each arc instead of sprites sitting next to each other, so it has its advantages too. Also, not only did every character have between 2 and 4 different outfits, they also had different body and hand poses.

Umineko had a large as fuck cast of characters, so they were kinda forced to wear the same clothes forever and never move their hands from their original positions. But it had like a hundred different facial expressions for Battler and Beato.

>>21097226

Ichirou.

"Ephraim sauntered, wiggling his buttock-augmentation. Life couldn't get any better. This, he knew, was due to an incontrovertible fact:

Naked asses are the final equalizer. Everyone's got an ass and, if honestly appraised, they all look ridiculous.

Imagine Saddam naked, awkwardly bending for the soap. Or Osama squatting in a humid cave. Don't seem so threatening now do they?

The ass has equalized.

But Ephraim thought he had the system beat. His logic; if all asses are ridiculous, then mine will be the most ridiculous of them all.

I will be King of all Asses.

A difficult point to argue."

Hey, I was gonna post that

>>21097251
That's probably one of the things I loved the most in Umineko. The impressive amount of sprites for so many characters. Especially Beatrice and Battler, but it helps so much to convey every feeling possible.

I know fuck-all about Chinese culture, but this game is doing a good job of making it interesting.

Why did they completely replace some songs?

Is 410 human?

>>21092664
Unfortunately not.

>>21092951
Only a portrait of siesta 410 being borderline suggestive af. Even had it as my phone lock screen for a while and was in constant fear of ppl taking an accidental glance at her magnificence

>>21092963
It was kinda sfw yet lewd beyond imagination. If it were posted on sankakus image section for 410, that art would be in the top4 most popular. To think it was soo rare though. Makes me want to gouge my eyes out for underestimating such a tineless creation. If i were the creator of that fanart, that college of images i posted early on is the inspiration i would have taken as the artist. See:

I really want to know what it is too, good luck finding it again anon!

embarassing

Disgusting.

>>21099679
Did you comment on it when it was posted back then?

You could find your post and the thread that way.

>>21099736
Which of her lips?

>>21097226
Why does Satogo have such big tits?

Am I the only one that loves the 07hExpansion metaverse more than anything else in fiction?

Ryuukishi deserves more recognition, but I guess it's "only natural" that a writer with so much talent would be underappreciated by the masses.

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!"

>>21097226
There are more, but I can't find them all.

Was this it?

>>21099816
I wonder if these were drawn by Ryuukishi or by someone imitating his style.

I love his art, so I'm collecting everything I can find.

Is this what Rena would look like if she appeared in RGD as one of the Primavera girls?

I wonder where this picture is from. Seems to be from an artbook or something, but I can't find anything.

It found it in this thread:

>ccs stick
what's the deal with ccs in the ryushiki verse, It's mentioned in higurashi and even kinda important in umineko, despite both references being clear anachronism

>>21099886
Maria owns a Sakura cosplay. She bitched and moaned until Rosa let her wear Sakura's shoes to the family conference, that's why they are the same.

Ikuko created CCS based on Maria's drawings she found in a message bottle which Yasu worked on together with Maria.

>>21099947
but she specifically mentions it being a TV anime

They acted out some scenes using puppets and pretended it's a TV show.

>>21099957
I always imagined Ange and George slightly pudgy or thick, probably because of their original sprites.

Not actually fat or chubby in any sense of the word, just... not totally skinny with a perfect hourglass figure. That's Jessica. Ange's body would look like the 80% body in pic related.

A body like this:

https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph580a9fd571235

That's what Ange's body looks like in my mind. The skinny Anges from later remakes and adaptations of Umineko don't quite feel right to me.

Anyone else feel the same way about Ange's design?

>>21100016
I'd rather finish learning Japanese. Every official release has been a travesty so far. Umineko doesn't count because it's basically the same fan translation from back then without weird music changes, censorship or pointless switching of engines.

>>21100082
Holy shit, that girl is so cute but she has like zero (0) human dignity.

Shooting a porno is one thing, but actually talking and having a conversation like a regular human being while her pathetic asshole is on display... That's just degrading.

How much do we need to give Ryukishi for him to make more lewds with his art style?

>>21100809
>tfw we will never get a comedy episode in which the butt-naked Satoko sprite is used for a punishment game

Shion wa.

I just started playing Higurashi Meakashi and after 20-30 minutes of playing it it gave me this error, did any of you guys have this too? How did you fix it?

>>21101032
Reminder that the Angel Mort outfit is canonically meant to be really degrading, as shown in the original sprites. It's supposed to look like her tits are about to slip out of it.

>>21101037
Also one of the backgrounds was fucked up before crashing.

>>21101037
What version are you playing? Where did you get it from?

>>21101050
I got it from here.

Why would you mess up the game with patches that take away all the charm?

Just play it vanilla, dude.

>https://nyaa.si/view/410200
I'm pretty sure that's the old version.

I recommend the Steam version. The translation is slightly improved and they fixed ALL the music/sound effect bullshit.

In the old release, you had to patch tons of shit to get the original music back and add some more patches to restore the original sound effects, because they replaced everything with terrible versions that sound like crap. The iconic cicada sounds were replaced by a 2 second loop of awful sounding garbage. And even the patches were unable to restore some of the best music because of how the replacements were coded into the game.

Just drop that shit and get the Steam version. It should be easy to find.

I don't think the completely unnecessary graphic patches caused the error, though. It seems like the files were damaged or your torrent was stopped at 99%.

>>21101078
Did the Steam version even release all the chapters yet?

>>21101058
This but unironically. I like the Alchemist art, but it's lacking in soul.

Real fans would trust Ryuukishi as a creator and read his novel as intended. There is a reason he keeps drawing the sprites himself even to this day.

>>21101084
Only up to chapter 6. 7 and 8 have been fully translated (and probably full of typos they won't fix) for like 2 years now, but they won't release them until the programmer stops slacking off. Why they needed to program an entirely new engine with an ugly unremovable blue UI instead of just patching the original game is beyond me.

You could read the old versions of 7 and 8, which had pretty decent translations most of the time. Just remember to patch the shit out of them to get the music back. And don't forget to fix the sound effects too. I recommend leaving the original graphics alone, especially in those two arcs because the graphic patches mess up a lot of Hanyuu's sprites (she is awkwardly floating without legs in the middle of a serious scene, she randomly turns into her original self for another scene and her school outfit isn't even ported, so her normal sprite replaces the ones where she's supposed to be dressed like a normal schoolgirl).

If you want to get those two, remember that the were released as separate games with one arc each. You just need to download both.

Also, download the original Japanese version of Rei and apply the translation patch, so you can read the middle arc. It's the only serious one and serves as a fantastic epilogue to the series. It also connects Higurashi with Umineko. The main 8 arcs just don't feel complete without it.

>>21101109
I just looked at chapters 7 and 8 and apparently those work, I just skipped through all of the text for 5 minutes and didn't encounter any errors, looks like only Chapter 5 has those errors.
If I encounter any errors I'll just download the old ones, thanks.

>>21089414
fuck that's hot

>>21101158
Dude, don't keep reading until you find out if the music and sound patches were applied to your game. Or just find the original mangagamer release and apply them yourself.

Rapey Battler!

Is it worth kicking up a fuss in the Steam forums or something?
I'm really disappointed with the music change, and it can't be that difficult to have a toggle option for it

Beatrice "Urgh... I... I can't repeat that..."

>>21085596
Can you give me a bit more detail or a better drawing or something? I've been trying to find your image but I don't know what to look for in the first place.

What else would the twins force Keiichi and Satoshi to do?

From where can I get the original version of Higurashi, I tried searching for it but didn't found it, only the steam version but that doesn't have all the chapters released yet and this is the only old one that I found.

Seed it.

>>21102701

The translation ends halfway through the second arc.

They group translating it to English with clean, efficient patches dropped the whole thing after Mangagamer licensed Higurashi back in the day. So now we are stuck with their craptastic releases.

c'est juste la démo rassure-moi.

It's going to be shit.
It's obvious why it took Ryuukishi so long to release another when they cry; because he's not interested in the format any more. This confirms that Ciconia is a when they cry game in name alone.

Translate it weebs
