I love the psychology of Keiichis treatment method. It made Rena feel safe, when he talks and acts exactly like her. Making her feel like she is believed and that he listens to her.
It was more than just that. It was the fight itself and Keiichi's words that reached her. He reminded her of their watergun game and that this was their rematch which helped turn this into a game. This in turn, reminded her of the memories of their fun happy times which eventually overcame her and snapped her out of it. Ofc you're not wrong.. his words and actions reached her cos he was actually listening to her. He made her feel safe, welcome and happy. All it took was them getting back into the routine of their happy days, simply communicating and trusting each other.
@bunnysterio if memory serves right the great hinamizawa disaster still occurs but Rena survives as she is carried away by the cops while the rest all die
higurashi is one of my favorite examples of the power of friendship. The main opposing force being hinamizawa syndrome, and takano being the one taking advantage of it. The only way to overcome the paranoia and fear is the faith in everyone
Poor Rena, seeing her getting back to being rational once again was so good to see, glad she didn't die even with the syndrome was at phase 5, everything was excellent.
This scene is beautiful, but it gets very sad when you think about how it continues: After defeating the L5 Hinamizawa Syndrom and finally trusting her friends again, Rena has to witness how all of them are brutally murdered. Just when she found happiness again, it is all taken from her and she becomes the empty person we see in episode 1 of Kai.
That's right, before the time goes back, rewinds again to resume with a new cycle in episode 2 of Kai. Besides, this scene will be remembered by other characters, including Rena (in form of a dream though) in later episodes of Kai. I would say that the first episode was a sort of "what-if" after the events of the ending of the first season.
Keiichi is genuinely Christlike. Even when Rena has Keiichi in a position where she can kill him all he can do is tell her how amazing she is. *And it works!*
@@Editz_maker you bringing sotsu into the mix is like saying "what if we have Keiichi as the looper instead", because I'm telling you, he can probably (most likely) make it both entertaining for the God and save everyone
Notice how they set up their prizes for winning the duel, there is some kind of chemistry between Rena and Keiichi especially with Rena’s prize she really likes Keichi.
@@omegand. He's talking about the Great Hinamizawa Disaster which happens in most Higurashi timelines shortly after the events in each story. I think there are only two timelines where this doesn't happen. One timeline is exclusive to the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna Nintendo DS game, and then there's the answer timeline for the whole series which you see at the end of Higurashi No Naku Koro ni Kai.
Wow never seen cops just standing there with their mouths wided open staring at two kids fighting on the school rooftop before. I mean look at him on 1:21 lol.
This single arc in the VN made me cry 4 times lol, and I ALREADY knew how things would go out since I spoiled myself. If you ever get time you should 100% give it a read
@@Soni-jd4li God, Rena's speech about how Satoshi was begging for help and nobody helped him, and then Keiichi just being insistent he would've killed the Houjo's aunt for them in a heartbeat was soooo good
Those grunt sounds, that’s what made the fight for me, truly a moving showdown between Keichi and Rena, even in the later 2020-2021 seasons made by Passione the voice acting quality of the og seiyus remains intact.
You could argue that but I'd argue that it's mainly because of circumstances. In the case of Keiichi he is new to the town and doesn't know about the darker past of the town. So when he starts finding out stuff and he realizes that his closest friends are actively keeping stuff from him (out of kindness), it becomes easier for Keiichi to give in the paranoia. In the case of Shion she's already kinda nutty to begin with and given her history it becomes easier for her to give in into the Hinamizawa Syndrome. In the case of Rena her initial paranoia came from her killing a person but then found reassurance with her friends that were willing to share her burden. But then later on Takano got involved and started filling Rena's head with strange ideas and once the Hinamizawa Syndrome started kicking in she started to slowly give in to paranoia again. The only reason she managed to overcome it this time was because of Keiichi and the others who worked INCREDIBLY hard to prevent her from killing innocent children and herself. Not to mention Keiichi after learning from his own past mistakes went out his way to make Rena see reason and stop her from her path of self destruction. That's the biggest difference between Rena and the other two, Rena had active support from her friends while Keiichi and Shion didn't really have that luxury, Keiichi had Mion and Rena reaching out to him despite how cruel he was to them but because they didn't understand what Keiichi was going through they weren't able to help him. Keiichi on the other hand with the assistance of Rika was able to understand what Rena was going through because of what happened to him in a previous world, without that knowledge though Keiichi wouldn't have been able to help her and Rena would have most likely never overcome the Hinamizawa Syndrome and they would have continued on to that one chapter in which everybody died that day.
this reminds me of a person i care for very much, he achieved the same as Rena: what happened was a very scary thing we got confronted with and everyone got irrational bcoz of their anxiety, yet he managed to find truth and accuracy throughout the noises! being this closely involved, and he still managed!
this anime is three things 1.creepy 2.gorey and 3.amazing I mean amazing the music the art everything. love this scene because of the music playing it sounds amazing with does sound effect just love it.
Man this anime is so underrated it hurts. And the people who actually start watching it they dropped this in 2 or 3 ep. (i did that too😅). But this anime is gold.
its not underrated it's literally the most iconic horror anime of all time. it literally influenced horror in anime and in other media so much. have you ever heard the term "higurashi-face"? it refers to the snake looking eyes thing rena and mion did a lot in the original series. definitely not underrated
@@sphereware2115 i mean, i would say it is. you don't really see people talking about it as much as other shows, i've only ever met a couple other people who know about the show but haven't watched it. i didn't know about it until after kai had aired. i can't say i've ever seen that term, or even other faces in anime that resemble it. what anime were influenced by higurashi? i'm not doubting you, i just haven't seen much of what i'd expect higurashi's influence to be, so i'm wondering where you're seeing these influences.
Man, after just rereading this scene in the VN they really rush it in the anime. The voice acting was amazing, and animation was good enough. Music is fine, but the song that plays while Rena is crying seems unfitting for the scene. I was expecting something less creepy for that part. I'm just surprised how rushed this was considering how powerful of a scene this really is.
The person who's responsible for adding this wrong music bgm was actually Chiaki Kon who was the episode director for this final episode. Kon realises she made a mistake of recruiting Seiya Numata for this episode as it became off model thanks to his correction. So when the next season was produced, Kon evaluated her animation team to improve the art in this season.
The music for that moment was perfect, it's creepy and mostly sad, like the overall situation, Rena realizing about all the horrible things she's done under the effect of that "curse".
Yeah it should be a happy moment because they are saved. But I like the music, because it shows that there was really something creepy going on with Rena and now she realized. Making this scene show how much at edge everything about the syndrome is. One second they are your friend, the other the< are your murderer.
Rena is so sweet after everything that just happened, she didn't want to hurt her friends but the syndrome made her intend to kill anyone, now it feels nice to her normal once again.
I fucking hate the new higurashi manga,all of higurashi fan thought Rena and kechii will be together and No.. The freaking Manga ruined it, even satoko husband like wtf a Bald man?
