Rika's First Fragment - Himatsubushi-hen: The Ultimate Higurashi Timeline
Фильм және анимация
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Higurashi: When They Cry) as a vast history after the origin of Hanyuu Furude in Kotohogushi-hen. A majority of the events in the series happen during World War 2, and there is one that happens before our loops begin. Today, we'll discuss the crashing of American Howard Loverock in Hinamizawa during World War 2, Oni involving Oryou Sonozaki's backstory, and the first official arc in the timeline: Himatsubushi-hen, or the Time Wasting Arc. Join me today as we continue to form our timeline to understand what exactly is happening in this horror-filled series.
Welcome to a brand new series called the "Ultimate Higurashi Timeline," where once a month I will be going through every arc in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni catalogue. Whether the arc belongs to a console, or manga, or visual novel, or its anime only; I will be going through ALL of them, and deciding if they are either canon or non-canon by putting them into one, coherent timeline. The purpose of this series is to finally end any and all misinformation for the series by making it all readily available.

Higurashi Gou and Higurashi Sotsu probably connect to Umineko, but who in the fragments knows if it'll happen? Ryukishi07 is a smart man that tries to bring together the When They Cry series, with titles like Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Umineko No Naku Koro Ni, and Ciconia No Naku Koro Ni - but who knows if they all connect. Bess Sonozaki asks Should you watch Higurashi When They Cry, and personally I think that's a great idea. The openings for the series created by Asaka and Ayane are very enjoyable, especially Analogy for Higurashi Sotsu.
Higurashi Sotsu has some interesting reactions for the full episodes, and I really enjoyed seeing what happened with Rina. Although I promise Umineko isn't that long, and we will discover Who is Frederica Bernkastel.
I love you guys

I did my best I could to fix it but nothing seems to work. My voice might occasional distort in random noises, loud blurts, etc. I hope it isn't too distracting. As for the video, before anyone points it out, I discussed with a few people in the community, and they agreed that the stories in Kataribanashi (such as Little Demon) are all individual stories/arcs, so they should be counted differently. And for me this video is being published on the 31st of August, so I made it in time for August. Just barely, of course :P Have a great day everyone and stay safe

Rika is my favorite character of all. She was already the cutest since the first arc, and she has a lot of funny moments like how she makes Akasaka repeat "Meep" and "Nipah" to just mess with him. But there's also the deep and dark truth behind Rika and her despair hidden by her cute side. One of the creepiest moments in the manga to me is during the Minagoroshi-Hen Arc. When Rika discovers that Teppei was back in town, she immediately try to take her own life, but gives up because the Satoko from that fragment would end up suffering alone until she breake due to her uncle's constant agression. As Hanyuu tries to "comfort" her with the usual "We'll find a new fragment", Rika snaps and has a desesperate face with a creepy smile. How Higurashi portrays Rika's two-sides, and i really sympathise and identify with her. Summary: She's the best, Nipah! also, some things: There's some really wholesome arcs in Higurashi envolving Rika, like the Kokoroiyashi-Hen manga and the last episode of Kira, i recommend giving them a try if you want a good, cute and simple adventure.
A certain theory arises that the Irie clinic were responsible for the kidnapping, as the destruction of Hinamizawa greatly jeopordised their research. And I also agree that this arc must've happened fairly early on in Rika's loops, but a series of miracles caused by a witch putting Fragments together reintroduces Akasaka into the final loops.

I think that theory makes a ton of sense, especially considering the people behind the kidnapping are the Mountain Dogs. It must've been another thing done without Irie's knowledge since he seemed very unawware

I'm pretty sure that one of the fragment scenes implies that it was indeed the mountain dogs who kidnapped Toshiki Inukai.
Not sure how much it's supported by the entire body of Higurashi as I've only watched the anime and read the manga, but my running theory as to why Rika in Himatsubushi knows of her death is the accumulation of memories across loops. Like Keiichi and Rena get flashes of past fragments that they understand are "real", I suspect Rika's looping allows the knowledge of the Curse to accumulate enough that regardless of what age she is or what fragment she's in, she's aware of those events happening, so that Himatsubushi is effectively canon in every fragment. Anybody else have a more concrete answer?
@Javifaa
Жыл бұрын
I might be very wrong, but I remember reading (on one of the main arcs, on the manga) that the first loops sent her back close to when she was born. Or something among the lines. If that's true, Himatsubushi is the earliest fragment that is known to be canon, but not necessarily one of the earlier ones.
Can we all just appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these videos? Congrats on the channel growth man, you deserve it!

it is mentioned by hanyuu that her power gets weeker everytime and with that rika starts the loops later and later. but it seems like this doesn´t mean that the character or the original rika of this fragments doesn´t know about what happened. So why Rika wakes up later in the fragments her entering the fragment changes memories for all the people in the fragment even bofore atleast when a miracle occurs
You completely rekindled my love for Higurashi with your videos, I was pretty young when I watched the old anime, now I feel like drowning myself in all higurashi related media lol
The "Little Demon" arc is an interestingly similar story to the Chichijima incident (def look it up if you haven't heard of it!) Higurashi tends to really get into Japan's role and experience during that timeframe so it makes sense that there would be a story like this, and it's certainly possible that it's canon.
I just finished all the Higurashi VNs of the main-story. They are all great and worth the time. And yes, Himatsubushi-hen must have happen in one of Rikas earlier loops because Hanyuus power diminished each time they looped back.
I just binged your Higurashi videos the other night and had to sub for more content ^v^ I love your videos and am excited to see more (and to go through your non-higurashi videos!)

Hell yeah! Welcome to the crew!
RIP Howard you landed in the wrong forest.
Okonogi mentions that he fought Akasaka in Matsuibayahi VN, so it is in fact him as one of the pair in Himatsubushi. From that, I assume you haven't finished the VN yet. In which case, you have yet to see the full extent of Akasaka's awesomeness.
I think once you're done with Higu you should look into the Evillous Chronicals. It's a collection of vocaloid songs, manga, and books. The story is fucking crazy.

Great Video again, there are so many interesting micro theories to the mechanics of the pre game's start (u could say between Bern and Lambda) u could say everything has a grain of "canon" and it's up to the readers to break down what is actually truth vs. differences between fragments.

So if Rika went back 5 years in her very first loop to give that warning knowing what'll happen then isn't that exactly what happened to Satoko in Goh 5 years later? So does that mean Satoko's loops got shorter and shorter as well like Rika's did?

Not really, all Gou/Sotsu/Meguri loops start at June 10. Eua is way stronger than Hanyu, after all. Also, there is nothing that confirms that Himatsubushi is the second fragment Rika reaches, it's just the earliest one we have been shown.
I'm really enjoying this series. These videos obviously take a lot of time and effort but I hope you are still going to continue with them since they are really entertaining and informative.
damn, I'm sad that Utsutsukowahi-hen didn't go anywhere possibly because of Umineko, because I think it would be an interesting parrallel to Umineko. St Lucia is one of the one solid connections between the two series, and it would be interesting if that connection was even stronger through the existence of a murder mystery at the school years before Ange Ushiromiya attends.

Ahh yes another Higurashi video which is a Great thing to see which is good to see you again, can't wait for the next one to arrive which is yeah on the thoughts of little demon and Utsutsukowashi-hen. Such a shame that Utsutsukowashi-hen will not be finished unless if its gonna be picked up by another author which is allowed Hypothetically speaking which will not so In a sense it'll just be a unfinished fragment upon the world. As for little demon to be fair I'll just consider it on a branch Timeline instead of the main one which is makes me wonder. What was the true actual Timeline of Higurashi Prior to Rika getting her powers I mean we kinda know somewhat at the same time not. But then again who knows because technically speaking everything was both the beginning and the end if that makes sense. Other than that honestly because it was the mountain dogs and Not the Sonozaki Yakuza group (Which is wtf man it's always so weird despite that Mion and Shion's Father is a Yakuza Boss they just get overwhelmed easily which then again could make sense still but you'd think they'll put up a fight but I'm getting side tracked) I think it's just them putting the plan on the "right track" persay plus. To be fair it's like a win win for both Hinamizawa and the Mountain dogs because of how it'll go from here onwards. Welp anyways as Usual Keep up the good work, have fun while doing so and ofc do it at your own pace. Again Great job.
Let’s go!
Looks like there hasn't been much work on this in a while? Been months since the most recent in the playlist. I wonder if it will get picked right up
