Satokowashi and the Future of Higurashi Explained - Higurashi Gou: Episodes 18-24

Watch the last video here if you haven't already:    • Nekodamashi-hen Reveals Satoko's Truth - H...   Watch the next one here:    • Higurashi Gou in Retrospect and Sotsu Pred...   Wow wait, its been 2 months? Good lord I'm sorry you guys. After the very long wait for the next Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Gou video, the time has come as I dive into the final arc of Gou and the first answer of this new series: Satokowashi-hen. This arc, like Nekodamashi-hen, is completely anime original, so I couldn't compare it to the visual novel or to the original Deen anime. However we got some extremely massive plot reveals, and some explaining for many of the things that went wrong in this series.. Join me today as we delve into the truth behind the new loops of Hinamizawa with Rena Ryuugu, Keiichi Maebara, Mion Sonozaki, Shion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Houjou. Be sure to come back next Sunday, too for the next installment of my Cotton Drifting Festival Celebration!

Due to this, I'm of course making the timestamps so you guys know what the full video is. Since its been 2 months since my last video and Gou ended, I go into a bit of recapping on top of my analysis. Once again though, this will not be spoiler friendly. Thank you, and have a great day: 00:00 - Dedicated to Akmal 00:05 - Intro Skit 00:25 - Introduction 00:53 - Cotton Drifting Festival Announcement 01:46 - Community Tab Advertisement lol 01:55 - Thank you, Beans 02:00 - Enter Matsuribayashi-hen 03:06 - Satokowashi-hen Meaning 03:36 - Higurashi Kai's Ending 04:03 - Post-Matsuribayashi-hen 05:31 - No More Hinamizawa Syndrome 06:10 - Kotohogushi-hen: Hanyuu's Backstory 08:18 - Dispelling Oyashiro-sama's Curse 09:06 - Rika's Dream 09:36 - Studying for St. Lucia 10:13 - St. Lucia Results - 1987 10:44 - St. Lucia: The Downfall 12:43 - Satoko's Trap 13:22 - Prison Time 14:15 - 1988 14:31 - Returning to Hinamizawa 16:43 - Satoko's Walk 17:00 - The Furude Shrine 18:05 - Eua, Featherine and Hanyuu 19:11 - Han-Two's 34s 20:28 - Satoko and Han-Two's Talk 21:43 - Reliving Matsuribayashi 22:45 - Rika's Promise 23:28 - Rika and Satoko's Chandelier Talk 24:06 - Deceiving Double Meaning 24:26 - Satoko's Looping Journey 25:42 - Satoko Finds Out About Rika 26:34 - Satoko Visits Rika's Past Fragments 26:50 - Satoko's Goodbye 27:25 - Satoshi's Disappearance 28:05 - Satoko Finishes Her Journey 28:41 - Satoko's Goal 28:58 - Rika Remembering 29:14 - Satoko's New Power 30:20 - Satoko's Snaps Explained 31:33 - Satokowashi is a Prep Phase 32:05 - Fragment Memory Accumulation 32:47 - Enter Teppei 33:41 - Teppei Plays Pachinko 34:17 - Park Self Reflection 34:25 - Teppei's Return to Hinamizawa 34:51 - Teppei and Satoko's Reunion 35:52 - Teppei's "Redemption" 37:00 - Teppei's Unusual Actions 37:26 - Teppei and Satoko's Talk 38:47 - Parallels between Satoko and Teppei, and Rika and Satoko 39:17 - Satoko's Concern 39:38 - Enter Takano 40:15 - Takano's Backstory 41:17 - Takano's Photo Album 41:56 - Satoko's Check Up 42:13 - The Letter 42:51 - Takano's Confession 43:02 - The Perfect World 43:37 - Satoko Gets H173 44:21 - The End of Gou 44:54 - Satokowashi Timeline 46:35 - Final Thoughts: Themes and Tone 47:11 - Final Thoughts: Satoko is Tragic 48:41 - Final Thoughts: Satoko vs Rika 50:28 - Closing Thoughts 51:42 - Outro #higurashi2020 #higurashigou #higurashi2020 #fallanime2020 A special thanks to my friend Ryan for always reviewing the stuff I throw out and script, without him most of this videos would not exist.
