I thought if she kills herself before Rika dies, she goes to another fragment, but obviously this wasn't the case until later on in Sotsu (I believe when Eua specifically mentions this being the rule that's when things start being enforced?) I still don't get how she was able to 'snap' her fingers (aka kill herself) and repeat the same fragment to, i.e., win the memory card game during the Club Challenge. It's a shame they used these Sotsu episodes for filler recaps more than to fully explain just what the heck the parameters of Satoko's looper powers are. My theory is that if we're having a happy ending Keiichi might be used as a catalyst to create a "clean" fragment since people who die can retain fragments of their traumatic memories. This is definitely intentional, although it seems meaningless.

On the other hand we have been "needlessly" shown once again that Keiichi survived yet another loop. Nice idea that Rika could survive more than Satoko expected and get some insight into the truth this way but it didn't really mean anything. Rika really meant all the things about being happy to live in Hinamizawa, and ninja Satoko really PTSD'd hard on the boxing glove. Both Rika and Satoko were just playing straight all along, as expected. Now, on one hand the twists in this episode are that there were no twists again. And when I'm almost fully recovered Keiichi shoves away SWAT guy with his fork which made me lose it all again. Satoko having a huge gun popping out of her pants in Angel Morts was the hardest I've laughed in MONTHS, that scene was great. Meh you guys are no fun, I came here to make a joke about Hanyuu being forced to watch Gou but was beaten to it. Every episode seems to reaffirm the road down the path of Certainty and Miracles Hanyuu is pinning all her hopes on a miracle, so I guess Rika is going to need to break out the typewriter and try to write Shakespeare. I have some non-concrete theories about what this means based on Ciconia P1 and Hanyuu being a failed part of Eua is another aspect of that. Talking about the actual episode, they really sexualized Hanyuu here huh? Her chest has always been kind of varied depending on the medium, but they really wanted to show that they were going with a bigger interpretation here.Įua mentioning Vier losing her memories is big, that means it wasn't just her mistaking Satoko for Vier, as far as a being on the higher plane is concerned Satoko IS still Vier. I was really hoping this episode would be the big one, I guess I can't be wrong about believing next week will be it right? Eua representing Ryukishi, laughing at Hanyuu representing the audience and telling us not to avert our gaze from seeing Rika die again (but censored this time!).
