do you think they do female genital mutilation in the sonozaki torture dungeon?

>>47043111
They do that thing from that one set of images where the girls pulls on that other girl's clit with a pair of pliers.

I'm sure Shion has done this to Mion in a couple of fragments.

The girl on the table is surprisingly cute. It was too much when the other one did her finishing move, but it had to be done I suppose.

As promised here is my unsolicited blogpost on Minagoroshi-hen. So, since this is one of the actual canon Ryukishi arcs and not one of the console arcs I'm sure it’s been discussed to death and you all won't have very many new thoughts on it, irregardless I am still going to type out a long post (or two) on it. As a quick preamble I watched the Dean anime a decade ago so while I remembered the major plot details, many of the more subtle details I either forgot or weren’t implemented in the Dean adaptation. I’ll also be spoiling it without abandon, because I assume everyone who frequents these threads has read (or at least watched the 8 main Higurashi arcs). I’ve spoiler tagged some console arc details before out of courtesy, but I figure that isn’t necessary here. Anyway, without further ado, here are my rambling thoughts on Minagoroshi-hen. First of all, despite all of the goofy schizo stuff in these threads and the character assassination in Gou/Sotsu, I still feel bad for Satoko and am sadden by her abuse both here and in Tatarigoroshi-hen. Ryukishi’s experience as a social worker really does lend him the ability to effectively write about the abuse of a child, even if Teppei is a bit of a caricature. The introductory sequence in the world of fragments where Rika? (Bern?) is discussing the rules of each fragment was superb. Was that in the Dean adaptation? If not that’s the second worst exclusion behind not explaining that Mion and Shion switched places on the day that “Mion” was supposed to get the tattoo, changing both of their lives irreversibly. Anyway, I found Akasaka’s inclusion to be odd? I guess it was just to give Rika false hope and to tease what he does to actually help in the next arc. As a quick aside this is the only arc so far where I’ve had glitches/technical problems and since I am using the 07th mod (it could very well be my setup or the mod itself causing the problem and not the original Minagoroshi program) I won’t dwell on this point too much, but I did have two crashes and a couple of instances where the console sprites froze on one expression. Back to the story stuff, it really was inspiring and wholesome seeing Keiichi and the rest of the club rally more and more people to petition the child consultation center with the Oryou confrontation being the highlight. K1 taking a chair to the face over his ideals was also great. I also liked how he both consulted with his parents in this arc and how Keiichi’s dad supported him wholeheartedly. Skipping to the conclusion, the reveal that Takano is the culprit was also excellent and I have to commend Tomitake for not being a simp even though it might have saved his life. (Or maybe not, given that killing Tomitake was one of the objectives of their operation so they probably would have killed him anyway.) Takano killing everybody in the club one by one, taunting them along the way is still as rage inducing as it was the first time I watched it when I was a preteen, what an absolute cunt. I actively dislike the first half of the next arc (at least the Dean adaptation of it) because Ryukishi genuinely tries to get the audience to feel a degree of sympathy for what is essentially a Unit 731 member. I do not pity her, I do not feel bad for her, I do not care. She deserves to be raped by a pack of wild dogs. She deserves to have all of her limbs cut off. She deserves to be covered in gasoline and set on fire. She deserves to be cut 1,000 times and slowly bled to death. She deserves to be boiled in oil and have her fat sold for soap. Kudos to Ryukishi for making one of the most hate able antagonists I have ever encountered in fiction. There are several interesting callbacks to prior arcs in this concluding sequence that I feel are worth bringing up. Satoko being listed as missing at the end of Tatarigoroshi-hen implies that Takano’s threat here of having her shipped off to Tokyo to be vivisected, was realized in that fragment. Also, was Tomitake in the fucking truck when Takano picked Keiichi up in Tatarigoroshi-hen? That’s wild. My only real complaint with this arc is that the first half is slow and being given the POV of a protagonist who has completely given into despair for a good portion of it is demoralizing, but honestly those are nitpicks. I don’t want to suck Ryukishi off too much, I want to be as objective as possible, but I really like this arc. This will be the last one of these I do (unless something in a future console arc really spurs me into writing about it). Blogpost owari da.

In my long 11 year long career as a coomer I got caught jerking off for the first time

>>47049740
By whom?

>>47049740
Great job, anon.

>>47049746
Grandmother

>>47049760
Now I feel terrible for laughing. Poor grandma, she didn't deserve to have to deal with such a small disappointment at her age.

>>47049740
I've been masturbating since kindergarten. I'm not exactly sure how I was doing it, I had a unique method. My earliest memories are of me getting in trouble for doing it.

>>47049809
I remember a large Native American "helping" me when she found me jerking off at daycare when I was 10.

Anyway I just came, no lessons learned

>>47049835
>he was able to get it up AND finish jacking off after getting caught by his fucking grandma
anon what the fuck

Don't watch porn if you masturbate. It could give you strange ideas.

>>47049872
What was I supposed to do? Sit and repent for my sins?

>>47049891
How does your lovely bride feel about your habits?

>>47049891
your dick shouldn't even been functioning after that situation, having your grandmother see you jerking your shit is a massive turn-off for most people

>>47049906
I was horny, but then I became irritated while still horny, so I became 2x hornier and wanted to finish faster

>>47049809
I started touching myself at 9, I guess I got too comfortable rubbing myself against my pillows.
I remember getting caught by my parents while we were sleeping on the same bed. I was still afraid of the dark at 11 and was still bedwetting out of fear.
That shame helped me overcome my fear and I stopped wetting the bed, thankfully.

would you still love ange if she was a kyrie?

>>47050624
You have to include the cost of razing Kuwadorian and the fence around it all in secret. Hiding all of the evidence would at least take three years, and they don't even know about it yet. Imagine the eco surveyers from the city running into the massive fence.

What would be worse in Hinamizawa: being a nigger or a faggot?

>>47051077

so probably a nigger

>>47050627
I like both Kyrie and Ange, so yes.

>>47051102
>K1s dad is already an absolute queen
I don't remember K1s dad acting like that, just that his love of little girls(for purely artistic reasons) bordered on supernatural

>>47051102
Wait, Keiichi's dad is a homo? I thought he was just a lolicon.

>>47051191
>pedophobic
you mean in the sense of assuming he's a pedo faggot? or just that he CAN'T be a lolicon so he must be gay? because he is DEFINITELY a big fan of little girls, whether he likes to sing in the shower or not

>>47051222
i don't have a better word than pedophobic for loliconphobic if i said loliphobic that'd be even farther off
but his mannerisms are more flamboyant than eccentric in any case he is clearly the gayest of hinamizawas men

I absolutely love ep 1-4 Beato
Chiru ruined her for me. She is neither evil, nor she acts like Sayo would

>>47056943
I reread episode 4's ending recently. Kind of crazy how the end of episode 4 (Lambda talking about how Beatrice was just pretending when she seemed to be breaking down and such) doesn't line up with how episode 5 starts at all. I had completely forgotten about this blatant change of direction.

But I still love her very very much

4chan dweller, sometimes tumors are unpopular and cant get you fanart

>>47056981
Lambda meant that Beato was pretending to lose to Battler, not that she wasn't breaking down. She was giving up on the game because Battler wasn't trying to figure out the who did it and for what reason.

>>47049740

>>47057094
Nah, they even talk about Beatrice possibly winning the game and how neither Lambda nor Bern actually want that. It just doesn't fit at all with how Episode 5 starts. It's not like it goes and shows that Lambda was wrong/surprised by how Beatrice turns out to be broken either. She and Bern just know it from the beginning. It's just completely off coming from that scene.

>>47057171
Rereading that conversation, yeah, Lambda does think Beato is merely pretending, though I don't think the reader is meant to take her claim as truth.

great, been horny rapidly those wtcs

>>47056981
>>47057094
>>47057171
i always got the impression that LD was trying to chide beato into waking back up by perverting her game. like she doesn't know or take for granted that beato is giving up, she's doing what she can to prevent beato giving up but ultimately fails

>>47057670
She outright says in the scene of episode 4 that she's fine with Beatrice giving up though. It's Battler she doesn't want giving up. She talks in episode 4 like she genuinely believes it was all theater from Beatrice and she's actually winning the game.

Like I said above though, episode 5 is a completely different matter. In that one, from their appearance they already know Beatrice gave up, and then you get Lambda provoking her and taking over the game, which is where your reading might apply. The lack of transition here is what makes me convinced now that there was a change in direction. You don't even get to see Lambda's reaction to her quotes in ep4 being completely wrong (or even Bern mocking her, which you know she'd usually have done after Lambda gave a big speech about Beatrice being in control of everything, if the speech turned out to be complete nonsense).

>>47057171
Makes me wonder if there wasn't some change in plans between eps 4 and 5 like there was 2 and 3. Ep 2 ends with Battler completely defeated and humiliated, then 3 begins with him palling around with the stake girls and basically acting like nothing from the last episode really mattered.

>>47057724
he has his 'i'm so back' moment at the end of episode 2 when he says this

Keirena sex...

>>47057790

>>47057799
does Rika know what sex is?

>>47057758
she made the first move

>>47057841
Do you?

>>47057874
I asked first

>>47057841
she's over a century old, of course she knows

>You are now just like I was in the past, when I was imprisoned inside Lambda's world. Shut inside a labyrinth of cruel fate, tormented by a witch, in a manner of speaking. I am a witch who was born from there. So maybe I'm like an older sister to you. So I decided that I'd lend you my power.

>However... even compared to my fate, yours is... truly brutal. Not only do I sympathize with you, I'm almost brought to tears by your tragic fate. But please, don't lose heart. Please don't submit to Beato, no matter what.

>Certainly, that child's game is quite unfair. I've only been allowed a glimpse of the game board, but the unfair and clever devices set up on the stage are so disgusting... that I imagine they far surpass those on Lambdadelta's game board. And what's even more frightening... is that when that kid moves a piece, she doesn't always make the best possible move. This is where she's very different from Lambda. Lambda always uses an overpowering number of pieces to make the best possible move in order to win.

this is 100% describing the higurashi gameboard so why do gousotsu?

>>47057841
Well it was the 80's so she probably doesn't have a 'woke' opinion on a persons sex is.

>>47057913
I don't know.

>>47057913
>why do gousotsu
money

>>47057926
My grandpa once told me that in the past people used to be more conservative and had more taboos regarding sex; talking about it in school or at home was a big no-no for example. Still, Rika has lived for a long time so she has probably seen some animals mating in the woods.

>>47057841
rika sexually & brattily entices keiichi's dad into moving to hinamizawa

>>47057841
Rika is sexually frustrated.

>>47058017
>so she has probably seen some animals mating in the woods.
I assume primary/elementary schools still do the yearly springtime field trip to a farm so kids can accidentally witness some animal fuckin' and birthin' and still-borns being awkwardly hauled away but maybe that's become a thing of the past. what with all the mad cow disease, foot and mouth, H1N1, swine-flu etc

Currently thinking about the fact that Ryukishi likely met a little girl during his time as a civil servant that used to make strange noise similar to an "uu-uu", especially when ending her sentences, which resulted in her abuse by her single mother because it wasn't proper behavior.
I wonder how she is doing...

>>47058368
is the ryukishi civil servant lore real? i've heard it's a myth

>>47058392
If it is a myth, his writing of Satoko's abuse in Tatarigoroshi and Meakashi is even more impressive.

>>47058423
Minagoroshi, not Meakashi.

>>47058392
Its likely real. There's an interview from 2012 where they ask him a question about his former profession before becoming a writer, and he replies that he was a civil servant for about 10 years, and that his experiences from that job helped form the basis for the abuse that Satoko and Maria faced.

>>47057913
ryukishi is fucking retarded

I want to hug and squeeze Ryukishi...

>>47057913
>It seems like someone troublesome took a liking to you, just like me back when I had a human body...

You can take those lines as referencing OG Higurashi, but they're even more direct with Gou/Sotsu's scenario.

Also note this part

>in a manner of speaking.

was added there because it was an obvious Higurashi reference but didn't work in a literal way (since with the usual interpretation of those lines Lambda wouldn't even be directly involved), it's not actually part of the Japanese script and you can see it missing from other translations.

You don't need to look at it through metaphors or some very indirect involvement if you see that as Bern talking about Gou/Sotsu though. She literally was tortured by a witch in her world.

>>47059064
yes but we see bernkastel being born in higurashi

>>47059077
wtf? meant for >>47059062

>>47058995

>>47046107
Ryukishi literally trapping the Ciconia gameboard in a logic error.

>>47059077
>>47059081
Everything Bern related is notoriously vague though. In spite of there being some kind of Rika personality in the fragment space separate from the Rika in the fragments themselves during Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi, and the Bern name in the poems between chapters, in the context of the story the Bern name itself is only created in Saikoroshi. The "higher" Rika personality just never explicitly has a name in the OG VN - the manga does break this and has her appearing explicitly separately from Rika in Minagoroshi and even calling herself Bernkastel. But then you get to Saikoroshi and everything is identical to the VN regarding the Bern name and Rika's personalities, so it's clear they didn't put much thought into that manga change.

>>47058430
Well, in that chapter she was abused in some form or another...

The child is abundant.

Rika After Not Surviving

>>47059511
She stood her ground. They were in the wrong.

>>47059595
One of the my favorite parts of the console exclusive arcs was how they showed with shocking accuracy how antidepressants turn people into mass murderers.

>>47059374
Erm this is the kanji for Satokos surname.
北条 a pretty famous surname literally means “north stripe/streak”

So what if someone happened to be able to read German? Did "Tokyo" consider that possibility to be too unlikely, seems like an unnecessary risk to take when you are trying to keep something top secret. "Oh yeah, we'll keep all of this info in the public eye, just write it in German! Nobody speaks German!."

how do we stop him

why mods when ban? because you're rigged. you will go to hell. annoying spamming flamer

Would the Higurashi story will work in june of 2024?

feet?

>>47062989
The main issue would be justifying the club games in 2024. R07 himself said the specific date (June 83) was chosen because it was right before the release of the Famicom.

I can't think of any moments where cellphones or internet would have broken the plot. In fact, you could use internet to further spread Hinamizawa related rumors.

>>47063038
The village would be abandoned, and only the lederly would live in it, no? What's the situation with the villages in Japan?

>>47063038
I mean I bet you could extend the date a few years, Hinamizawa being in bumfuck nowhere and all.

>>47062918
It's spelled "ratka" not "rat aka"

>>47063066
rat, aka satoko

>>47063055
1630 people live in there

Fuck off already im tired

>>47063085
how many of them are kids?

>>47063085
2010 1,733 −19.4%
2020 1,511 −12.8%

>>47063038
>cityboy K1 goes home to play video games instead of hanging out with cute village girls
>Hinamizawa is doomed because of this

>>47063055
Not every village is abandoned though, even if it has happened to multiple ones. Hinamizawa itself as it is in the VN already suffered somewhat from that. See how it only has one classroom for all elementary to middle school children who live in the village (granted, you have some just going to Okinomiya every day).

>>47063093
Real world Shirakawa actually has a fully functioning school unlike in Higurashi.

>>47062381
Cute and cheesy

>>47063114
>. Hinamizawa itself as it is in the VN already suffered somewhat from that.
which is why I said what I said

>>47063091
I'm*

>>47062381
>>47060466

>>47063114
>(granted, you have some just going to Okinomiya every day).
Did we ever get a real number of how many kids head to okinomiya for school? There's around 2000 villagers and the branch school has like 20 kids. I know the village is full of old people but it sounds like there'd be a decent amount of kids walking around besides the handful at the branch school.

>>47063129

>>47063150
don't post Rika, satokofakefan and falseflagger

>>47063155
Make me, lolcow.

>>47063120
True.

>>47063038
with the advent of the smartphone i imagine catching evidence of sakotos abuse would be easier for one

>>47063158
>lolcow
cant be one since i don't have any social media. but you..

>>47063216
>hidden cams showing black Teppei flinging baby Satoko around

>>47063233
You don't need social media to be one.

>>47063247
but you do

>>47063262
Not a lolcow thoughever.

>>47063216
Not like cameras didn't exist in the 80s, the crux of the issue would be catching Teppei in the act when he can just lock up the Hojo house.
With how much effort it took for anyone to do something about Satoko getting abused you'd need a real smoking gun of her getting smacked around to provoke any action.

>>47063280
>>Not like cameras didn't exist in the 80s,
a cellphone and a camera from the 80s have the exact same price and ease of function after all

>>47063274
sure, you're either one of those
rat(shitcord faggot throwing fits at Rika now at her fans) a fbcuck, a retarded macaco wearing skirts. a personality retard, doesn't know which one, there are billions of you or just some rogue faggot playing rogue and dies forever like in rogue.

>>47063302
Lmao so randum

>>47063280
>>47063294
I'd have thought the change in habit where it's now completely normal to snap pictures of every little thing would be a bigger impact than price, there's an argument to be made a village full of old fogeys might not be with the times but certainly sakotos zoomer classmates would all be skibidisnapchatting the abuse live in real time.

>>47063294
That's not what I mean, you'd have to take a picture or video of Teppei in the act of beating the shit out of her which doesn't seem plausible even with the convenience of a cellphone.

>>47063328
>satoko takes out her cellphone once
there you go

>>47063323
I think Teppei just closing his house and abusing Satoko inside would solve that issue. It's already how it happens in the OG VN anyway.

You did make me think about a funny scene where Teppei's friends themselves snap shots of Satoko being abused and upload them thinking they're funny.

>>47063337
>You did make me think about a funny scene where Teppei's friends themselves snap shots of Satoko being abused and upload them thinking they're funny.
kek'd
I can imagine the group chat being worse than the ratkaXratoko posters.

>>47063332
It took Satoko the entire chapter of Minagoroshi to finally ask for help, I wonder why that is.

>>47063367
She didn't have a cellphone!

>>47063368
fucking faggot that wasnt funny

>>47063374
What do you mean 'funny'? I was merely stating a fact. Are you perhaps retarded?

>>47063439
you didn't make that post faggot

>>47063368
Satoko can't afford a cellphone, her brother could barely afford a stuffed animal

>>47063485
Troonppei and Tamae were taking their money

>>47063485
>a stuffed animal
a big ass bear like that can run you like 100 bucks maybe more in a podunk town where supply is very limited
and while that's no fortune its certainly nothing to scoff at on a highschoolers part time pay

>Satoko was raped by a trans woman
double lmao at satokei cucks

>>47063528
Scissoring rape is not real, sister

>>47063485
Satoko could always steal one since she is objectively evil.

So is this power tripping tranny mods or what?

Why shitcord talks about their favorite mascot and rape without posting her thinking theyre serious posters? They dont care actually they only pushing agenda and obscure topics and shitposting
>>47063881
Well anything involves is cancer and new cancer soceity

>>47063881
Don't complain. They are only doing their job by throwing away the trash.

>>47063931
Cute kitty. A shame is full of malevolence and ill thoughts.

>>47063973
Just pretending!

>>47058368
you ever think about how weird it is that ryukishi's perfectly capable of lewding the girls he's apparently based on real life civil servant cases? and he even goes out of his way to do so sometimes? just a thought

>>47063993
haha
I wonder why he does that

>>47058439
My wife and Rosa look so cute together.

>>47064068
>Rosa's husband has been found

>>47064068
Your wife is dead. My condolences.

what is ryukishi doing right now...?

>>47064512
probably building a small statue out of money

>>47064512
He's laughing, a lot,

>>47064829
Mion after I tell her I can't have children

>>47064512
The closest release in the near future is Loopers Plus.

He probably will write something for Higurashi Mei too since they get him to write one story every year so far, but that's shorter.

>>47064708

why does she always exclaim "knee-pad" in english when she so clearly cannot pronounce it correctly?

>>47065248

>>47065136
I'm not so sure about that, unfortunately.

What's your favorite sprite? Is there one you would hang up on your wall if it was painted in oil on a giant canvas?
