The beginning of the Answer Arcs and now we finally arrive at Chapter 5 of Higurashi. This chapter finally starts resolving some of the main mysteries from Watanagashi. This time we get Shion as the main character and I really liked how deeply the game goes into her psyche. You're not really supposed to forgive her, but instead understand her story and how everything eventually led to what happened. The chapter also had some really gruesome and disturbing moments and I have to give a big shoutout to Satsuki Yukino for her voice acting as Shion and Mion. She did an amazing job and made some of the scenes feel even more intense. Even though this chapter answered some of my questions, it also managed to bring up even more questions. I'm really curious to see what Chapter 6 is going to reveal.
This chapter was so vulnerable and intense that it made me cry multiple throughout the entire thing and ill probably cry while putting this but shions character was so well written, that the idea of sympathy, guilt, revenge, and jealousy were so potent. I think the things that made me cry the most over this chapter was shions ultimate descent into this entirely different characxter, literally turning her into "mion". Seeing how something as simple as love is able to turn someone into and interely different person, even gaining the drive to kill ur own family and friends around you, is so bizzare that it just goes to show how vulnerable and how driven shion was over satoshi. Her ending off her last words in her notebook as "Im sorry i was born" was such a beautiful choice for her final words. After all the killing, torturing, and resenment she has faced, she feels sorry, wishing she was never even brought into this world in the first place to bring pain to everyone around her. Her ignorance towards satokos strentgh was something i really hated shion for, the idea of "killing" satoshi in her soul was a beautfiul way to describe it. She completely "forgot" about satoshi; she never waited for him, gain strtentgh for him. meanwhile satoko is fighting everyday to become someone strong for when satoshi "returns", even after possibly knowing he wont. Shion realising that she has been the shadow behind her all along, and acting as a guilt on her back, creates such a pathetic emotion for shion. This shapter was so sad, and so loving and happy regardless over she killing that happened. She did this all in revenge of somebody she loved, which makes shion such a beautfully written character... i cant wait for the next chapter :ppppp
