Yea I was gonna say in the most recent up she like shoved it right into Rika’s arm lmao.

I dunno I think Shion is awesome for rebelling against the whole “kill all those who oopose the giant torture buddha” tradition. Rebels are cool sometimes.

I rewatched episode 4. My mistake, they did show the injection at his arm but never being inserted into his body, so I merely assumed the worst. And about animated injections, u’ll probably fear them after watching ep20 since Shion did a rather forced jab into Rika’s arm. Ouch.

Anyway, during episode 4, I noticed that Mion n Rena mentioned that Keiichi should meet the manager of the baseball league before they injected him with the drug.

Baseball manager = Dr Irie = Keeper of Drugs.
I’m still counting on the notion that he is the true mastermind.

Oiishi seems to be a prime suspect too. How else would Shion have known of Keiichi’s location so quickly and sneak into the hospital undiscovered? (not to mention with a nail and a hammer. Man, they really have to step with the security.) I’m thinking that it’s an insider job.

Not considering supernatural means, of course.

My theory is, Shion disappeared after she tried to nail Keiichi or whatever. They rescued Mion and put her into the hospital. Shion came back and pushed her out the window. She then dressed as Mion and came back to find (and once again stab) Keiichi and then she ran off again. And ONCE MORE came back to nail Keiichi part 2 in the hospital.

I noticed how she kept \”disappearing\” but we never found out to \”where\”. I just rewatched it and Keiichi was \”So you still can\’t find Mion( which is actually Shion)?\” and Oiishi goes \”YEs thats what I came to tell you.\” It all makes sense now. They will probably show it in the next episode.

I thought Shion was the one who went out the window.

Wasn’t Mion dead already? I’m getting all confused.

Eh, enough with the twin switching already. So confusing.

I agree Oiishi is definitely involved but I’m not sure if in a negative way, only deriving this from the Himatsubushi arc he didn’t seem like the kind of dude who’d wanna cause murders (either that or he’s a hypocritical fat old guy)

Another one of my theories is that Oiishi is somehow involved. I mean, he acted as if he knew why Shion had her nails torn out.

In the Watanagashi arc, they show him (Oiishi) walking out of the hospital room that Keiichi was in. I mean, wouldn’t any normal person turn around if they heard screams and crazy blood action going on in Keiichi’s room? Maybe he did turn around, and they just did not show it.

Maybe it was Oiishi that pushed Mion out of the window, mistaking her for Shion. I do not know, I am just getting weird vibes from Oiishi.

I don’t recall seeing him get injected but I thought that he got injected anyway and thats why he went crazy and killed them or something. Although that was probably Rena & Mion, not Shion. I don’t know what Shion has to do with it, she killed Keiichi in the hospital or whatever.

I think the doctor is involved in this whole curse thing, since he’s the one with full access to the drugs in the town. Where else do you obtain drugs in that year? But why he died/suicided in Tatarigoroshi…that i’m not too sure.

And Shion could have been injected with it long ago, probably a weaker version, since her killing spree had only been triggered by Satoshi’s disappearance (though we never really got to see him die). I’m not really able to accept the concept of ‘demonic blood’ just yet.

These are just my assumptions…I hope they aren’t potential spoilers.

>”I had a feeling Keiichi did get injected in the Onikakushi arc, though they never show him getting injected when Rena and Mion/Shion were harassing him. It just cuts to the scene where he is beating them with a baseball bat.”

Actually, they did show him being injected. I think you watched a censored version of ep4 since the initial beatings were quite stomach-churning.

And Rika really looks like a druggie in the last picture. Freaky…
