Higurashi thoughts on episode 24

Oh, the bad guys. Man, why are all bad guys so ugly? They should have a uber bishie, uber short and uber weak bad guy that is in fact a trap-san in disguise. Then it will be way more exciting. I mean, seriously, these bad guys are so generic bad guys that it is not funny.

So, we realise that everyone is in fact poisoned and that the poison came from the mist in the marsh. That is why the bad guys try to kill every single person that tries to get out as they might spread the disease to others. The virus also affects people by causing them to start going berserk, hence these bad guys will try to kill these people who are turning into devils, aka spirited away by Oyashiro-sama’s curse.

We then see how Rena discovered the fact about this and she trusted in Keichii as she told him about all this and that the bad guys were trying to catch her in order to get the creepy nurse’s notes.

However, that is not important compared to the following excerpt that I will provide you.

The Many Faces of Rena

WHAT ELSE CAN BE BETTER than the different faces of Rena! She is just about the most awesome character in Higurashi. I mean, a cute girl wearing a cute dress and holding a cleaver waiting to kill you is pretty erotic/deadly/cute if you ask me. Of course, that is under the assumption that I am not the “you” in the previous sentence.

However, I really think that Rena is the character in Higurashi that is pulling all the right strings here. She is intelligent but she is deep down psycho. The fact that you cannot tell whether she is good or bad makes it even more troubling. Also, unlike the other psycho in Higurashi, the melon-sized Shion, Rena has a lot of different faces.

These include the “I WANT TO TAKE YOU HOME” face, the common loli face distortion face, the thinking Rena face, the normal girly Rena face, the worried Rena face, the “OH YES, DIE, BIATCH” face and of course the winning face which is the “CAT EYE” face when she walks around the school with the broken glass (where’s that full scene!!!).

She is the only other character that has more than two weapons of destruction (namely the lead pipe and the cleaver) and also having various different uniforms. I mean, that is really cool and glad that she is in here. The characters here either are too boring (Keichii), too small (Satako), too psycho (Shion), too little showtime (Satoko) and Mion is well just cute.

Yes, I am biased toward green-haired female characters.

Anyway, the next week had the preview of Keichii killing Rena. I hope that is not the case (even though I spoiled myself reading Hinano’s blog). Anyway, cheers and we are reaching the end of this series. Leaving you with 4 more screenshots from the queen of Higurashi, Rena!
