Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni 19 - Damn, she’s annoying.
I never thought that Shion could be so annoying and that she could be so idiotic. All in the love of the revenge of Satoshi? Come on, please. The episode started with that Shion realised that everything was planned by the Estate of the Sonozaki’s, so also Satoshi’s death. She got so angry, that she knocked-out her sister with some interesting device (how did she get that, anyway?) and she did the same thing with Onibaba. They went underground, Mion was put into a prison and she was questioned about what she knew of the Estate. Appearantly, Mion is only a spokeperson of Onibaba and the grandmother is making alone all the decisions. That’s it. Because two people are dead now, there have to be two sacrifises. Shion asked Mion about the Shrine, she didn’t know. Nice going Shion! Really brilliance to guess something like that.
After questioning Mion, Shion moves on to Onibaba. Well, she’s dead. Shion gets so upset that she tortures the death body anyway, because she died so easily, without an apology to Satoshi and without suffering any pain. Well. That was interesting, and she keeps on nagging about this Satoshi. Really annoying. But well, she hears the footsteps once more and gets crazy once again. Interesting. She asks Mion about the hidden well and she reveals why she killed Onibaba. It’s not because she is the perpetrator of the murder of Satoshi, it’s because she lied. The promise of the three fingernails, after that Satoshi and she had to be left alone with all the things. It was settled. And even so, the promise wasn’t kept. And that made her furious, and made Mion scared. Shion threatened Mion as well, if Mion had lied, she’ll face some torturing. If she told the truth, she is save. Because we all know what happened in the second arc with the Mion/Shion thing in the end, we can say that Shion believes that Mion lies. Everyone has to take their preparations for the coming episode. For sure.
Shion comes up with a great plan. She tells some people that she was in the Shrine, and she pretends to be Mion. So everyone thinks that Shion has died, while she’s still alive. Poor Mion. And poor Keiichi, because he has to be going as well. Shion scares him with the scenes we all knew, so that’s also settled. I wondered about it in the second arc, now some things make more sence. She even told as Mion the whole Estate that Shion went inside the Shrine with Keiichi. That’s what I call stupid. She said that Shion was taken care of, and Keiichi: Not Yet. Poor Keiichi. She asked the father of Rika to her house because ‘Onibaba had something to tell her’. They talked a bit and it got to the Shion thingeything. Shion had torn out her third nail for herself, not for Satoshi. Satoshi was never mentioned because of his family. Shion got furious and used the handydandy thingeything once again. The preparations are ready for the next episode. Shion is just an annoying little bitch.
