(Disaster Awakening Chapter)
Laziness prevails! Wiki Version of the Summary.
This arc was introduced in the second anime series; it aired before Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen. Yakusamashi-hen interweaves scenes from the Question arcs while giving other information that connects to the last two Answer arcs. Ryukishi07 personally requested Yakusamashi-hen as to include information from the first season that was left out. Yakusamashi-hen takes place in a scenario where Keiichi, Rena, Mion, Rika, Satoko, and Shion all attend the school without issue. Keiichi does not resent his friends for holding secrets thus eliminating an Onikakushi-hen like scenario. In this scenario, Satoko notices Rika's odd behavior and hears her speaking of her inevitable murder; Rika denies Satoko's questions about it. Satoko later witnesses Rika trying to warn Tomitake, thus furthering her suspicion. Satoko then goes through a Tatarigoroshi-hen-like situation, and dies in the hospital once knowing of Rena's message.
I think this is a pretty good chapter. You should watch it. Poor Rika though... It's the second episode in the anime and it is an anime exclusive arc. If you want to see the first then look for "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai Episode 1" THe first episode is about Akasaka investigating Rena about what happened in Tsumihoroboshi-hen.
Well here it is.
Anime-exclusive chapter. NO MANGA VRS.
