The , also known as simply the Witch Hunt or Witch Hunters, are a group of enthusiasts dedicated to researching the Rokkenjima Mass Murders from an occult perspective. They are first introduced in "Alliance of the Golden Witch".
Background.
Shortly after the Rokkenjima Mass Murders, two message bottles were discovered that appeared to be written by Maria Ushiromiya. They both described the Ushiromiya Family members and servants on Rokkenjima getting murdered, but each bottle told of different events and featured Eva Ushiromiya dying, who in real life was the lone survivor of the incident. The mysteries surrounding the incident and these message bottles garnered public interest towards the Rokkenjima Mass Murders, and thus the Witch Hunt was born.
Many members of the Witch Hunt are dedicated to collecting materials related to the Ushiromiya family in an attempt to uncover the truth, but others have taken to writing their own message bottles describing what happened and passing them off as truth.

World War III is a historical event in 's timeline that took place 100 years before the present day.
Not much is known about how WW3 started or what happened, as information and research into it is forbidden worldwide, except in specific cases. What "is "known is that the world was almost destroyed, with a nuclear winter being avoided due to new technology such as 8MS.
The event is used as a division point of history into two periods: B3W (possibly "Before 3rd War") and A3W (possibly "After 3rd War"). The war and its aftermath caused a reconfiguration of the power balance and the world order, leading to the rise of factions—regional alliances of several nations or parts of them. The new world order is dominated by the Latin American Treaty Organization, though the Arctic Ocean Union is dissatisfied with this and wants to restore their B3W world hegemony.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Xiaolan
is a quiet, agile girl who assists Lee Meijiu and the Golden Dragon Society as a spy. She first appears in Season 2.
Appearance.
Xiaolan has short black hair bangs and hair tied into a long thin braid. She wears a purple cloak over a pink long-sleeved shirt. She has a red dragon tattoo on her stomach. Xiaolan's full body art shows that she wears long socks and black shoes.
Personality.
Xiaolan rarely ever speaks and instead uses her actions to express herself. She typically acts very serious but when offered moon cakes, she gets excited.
Background.
Xiaolan suffered from a high fever as a young girl that resulted in her voice becoming very hoarse, which is why she barely speaks. After living most of her life in the alleys she started to work for Meijiu.
Story.
"Season 2".
Xiaolan is first introduced in 1948 watching Zel from afar. After reporting to Meijiu, she tracks the Wandering Dogs and continues to observe Zel. Zel then notices Xiaolan winking at her and becomes alerted to nearby henchmen pulling out guns.
"Season 3".
Xiaolan meets with Zel and guides her to a secret GDS hideout where Zel's father is being held. It's revealed that Xiaolan was appointed by Meijiu to keep an eye on Zel, who was actually the assassin Hotarubi, to ensure that she wouldn't be used against Meijiu's faction. The earlier incident with Xiaolan winking to Zel was actually a ploy for Hotarubi to fight fake assassins and earn favor with Rose; Zel had lost her memories and regained them after seeing Xiaolan.
After Zel is told to kill Rose and fails to do it, Xiaolan guides Zel and the Wandering Dogs to meet Meijiu for the purposes of rescuing Zel's father. Xiaolan helps them prepare for the heist.
In 1949, Xiaolan helps defend Meijiu and Meixue from mysterious attackers sent by Gabriel.

Xiaolan and several Chinese men are sent to capture Jin Wangyong, a man who forged GDS documents that implicates them in Stella's death. Xiaolan enters Jin's room to find that he'd been killed by a sniper, using the nearby evidence to determine where their position was.
Xiaolan acts as a bodyguard for Zilong when Richard requests a meeting with him and helps Zilong escape when his body double is sniped. Xiaolan later does surveillance around GHQ and discovers that Butler may know the true mastermind behind Stella's death and is under house arrest, informing Meijiu and helping Alan to attempt a rescue.
Xiaolan later joins Jeanne when she prepares to fight Primavera. During the final battle Xiaolan engages Keith in a bell tower and almost gets thrown out of a window, getting saved by Alan. Alan and Keith then start wrestling and fall out of the window themselves, with Xiaolan trying to help them survive the fall by kicking them in a different direction.

Appearance.
Yae has short dark hair and wears a skirt. Her console sprite has pink hair and clothes.
Personality.
Yae may seem happy on the outside but she's very afraid of Takumi's abusive behavior and recoils anytime he does anything.
Background.
Yae and Takumi used to genuinely love each other and had a good relationship, however after graduating college Takumi struggled to keep a job while Yae was always paying his bills. One day, Yae talked with Takumi about her friends' negative opinions of him while he was drinking and he started beating her up, apologizing afterwards. Yae and Takumi's relationship continued to be abusive, and Yae kept living with him because of her fond memories and because he would always apologize.
Yae eventually grew tired of Takumi's constant abuse and invited him to visit Hinamizawa with her so she can kill him.
Story.
"Yoigoshi-hen".
Yae first appears in the prologue where she and Takumi prepare to drive to Hinamizawa. After arriving at the village they take shelter at the Furude Shrine meeting hall from the rain. Takumi gets drunk and asks Yae to drink with him, getting angry when she refuses. Takumi soon falls asleep and Yae meets Otobe and Mion, who ask to have shelter as well. Ryuunosuke Arakawa soon appears to tell everyone of a car full of people who've committed suicide and asks to call the police, however Yae is unable to call since her phone is out of range.
The rest of the group heads to the ritual storehouse and Yae stays behind to watch Takumi. They pack up and return to their car to leave, however Yae discovers that their car is missing. She then sees a figure sneaking up behind Takumi and screams out. The group exits the ritual storehouse to check on Yae, and she explains that someone's kidnapped Takumi.
Unable to call the police, the group returns to the meeting hall where Otobe discovers Takumi's corpse inside the closet. After a brief dispute, Mion determines that Takumi was dead all along and Yae is responsible, as she's the only one who ever heard Takumi speaking while everyone else has only ever seen him "sleeping." Yae confesses that she did indeed kill Takumi, having strangled him long before everyone arrived. She explains her reasons why but Ryuunosuke believes she has another motive, and Mion calls Takumi's ghost to give some parting words to Yae. Takumi says he wanted to fix their relationship as Yae listens in denial, but her tone changes once she finds a job acceptance letter inside Takumi's pocket. Takumi's ghost disappears and Yae breaks down in tears, wanting to talk with him some more.
The group determines that Yae wasn't lying about being attacked and soon become surrounded by black-suited men, which Mion takes care of. Mion explains her side of things and sets off to the Sonozaki estate, however Yae asks to stay behind with Takumi so she can think things through. Mion gives her a gun for self-defense.
Kasai later arrives to the meeting hall, and Yae guides him and his men to the Sonozaki estate where Mion has already taken care of Mifune's men and retrieved the bell. Yae has talked things out one last time with Takumi and plans to turn herself in as the first step of her new life, soon heading back to civilization with everyone else.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yasuda/Article
, also known as simply or , is a servant for the Ushiromiya family. She is the true form of the witch Beatrice and the servants Shannon and Kanon, the true identity of The Man From 19 Years Ago, and the true writer of the message bottles. Due to her belief that she is furniture, amongst other things, Sayo plans out the Rokkenjima Massacre.
Appearance.
Sayo initially takes on the appearance of Clair and wears a knee length dress with a collar and cravat along with long pale hair. While telling her story, her appearance is not described, and it could only be assumed that she looks like her other counterpart, Lion.
When she appears in the manga adaptation of "Requiem of the Golden Witch" under just the name of "Yasu", she is portrayed as having long pale hair that covers her eyes and goes down to her mid back until she creates her Beatrice persona. After that, she takes on the appearance of Shannon.
In the "Twilight of the Golden Witch "manga"," Sayo is depicted with a similar appearance to Shannon due to "Confession of the Golden Witch "taking place after the creation of Beatrice. Sayo is usually dressed in the traditional Ushiromiya maid outfit and, as she grows older, begins to wear pads to simulate breasts. While dressed as Kanon, she wears a wig and the male servant uniform. When dressed as Beatrice, she wears the witch's dress and occasionally a blonde wig.
Sayo was born with polydactyly similar to Kinzo, and there is a small scar on her foot from the operation she underwent shortly after her birth to remove the extra toe, which was performed at the same time as the one that damaged her body and turned her into "furniture".
Personality.
A large portion of Sayo's character struggles stem from two contrasting things: the desire for romantic love, and the belief that such love is impossible for her. Several other factors, such as her entire life being manipulated to help Kinzo make reparations for raping his daughter, are also present.
When Sayo first started working for the Ushiromiya family in 1976, she was largely a lonely child whose only friend is Shannon, who is imaginary. As Sayo ages, she begins to get bold and attempts to 'punish' the servants who step out of line with pranks, such as stealing their keys. After meeting Battler however, Sayo's personality starts breeding a shred of bitterness, anger, and sadness that continued to grow over time. Sayo continues to grow and become more content even in her loneliness.
As time went on, Sayo grew extreme issues with self-worth, body image, and gender identity. The "Confession of the Golden Witch"" "chapters in the "Twilight of the Golden Witch"" "manga go more into detail about Sayo's gender identity issues. While Sayo was raised as a woman, she experienced heavy gender dysphoria due to her body not experiencing typical signs of female puberty such as menstruation or growing a chest. Due to this, she eventually created Kanon as a persona and began acting as him. This brought her some mental stability. Genji and Kumasawa strongly supported this.
When she solves the epitaph, the issues become much more prevalent. Genji, Kumasawa and Nanjo reveal to Sayo that every aspect of her life and agency had essentially been set up primarily for the purpose of making Kinzo feel better about what he did to the second Beatrice who lived in Kuwadorian. During this, they reveal to her that her body is incapable of bearing children, a revelation that drives her to eventually perform the Rokkenjima Massacre. She doubts that anybody could ever love her due to her body's condition, and begins calling herself "furniture", due to the belief that furniture are incapable of love.
Sayo's full personality is littered throughout her various personas. Shannon draws heavily from the Japanese concept of an ideal woman and an ideal servant, and because of this, has the least amount of Sayo's 'true' personality. Kanon and Beatrice, on the other hand, more closely represent her. Kanon represents a number of aspects, such as the negative traits she is unable to express as Shannon, but his personality is also the one who struggles the most against the idea of killing everybody. Beatrice is most similar to a power fantasy as a powerful and perfect witch, but also embodies her childish, joyful, naive, and mischievous traits.
Sayo is shown to hold contempt for the Ushiromiya family except for the cousins, which pushed her more into wanting to kill them all. When Sayo appears in 1986, she fully formulated her plan to kill everybody on the island, even if she has personal misgivings about it. This doubt, combined with the idea of the catbox (where multiple versions of the story can exist), formulates the premise of the demon's roulette, and is why she hosts an elaborate murder mystery instead of simply blowing up the island.
Abilities.
Sayo has proficiency in wielding firearms and Winchester Rifles due to Kinzo teaching her how to use them at several points. She is even capable of dual-wielding them. Sayo's transformation of Rokkenjima into an infinite catbox is what allows her to be blessed by Lambdadelta and ascended to the rank of witch. Sayo is also able to manipulate her voice, as she has played the roles of Shannon, Kanon, and Beatrice and created distinct voices for each.
Background.
Kinzo had sexual relations with his daughter Beatrice, and Sayo was the resulting child. Sayo was given to Natsuhi Ushiromiya to raise as her own in attempt by Kinzo to atone for his sin by making the child a proper member of the Ushiromiya family and giving it a happy life. However, Natsuhi rejected the child and was left guilt-ridden when the child fell off of a cliff along with another servant nineteen years ago. Unknown to Natsuhi and Kinzo, the child survived the incident thanks to Genji and Nanjo. According to Nanjo, the child was gravely injured, with their sexual organs badly mutilated.
After the accident, Genji decided to keep the child's survival a secret and sent them to the Fukuin House to raise, giving her the fake name Sayo Yasuda, later being given the blessed name of "Shannon". To ensure that child wouldn't be found out about easily, Genji lied about Sayo age, lowering it by three years; this was easy to fake because of Sayo's feebleness and underdevelopment. Genji personally arranged Sayo's hiring, hoping to reveal the truth if a good opportunity presented itself. He believed that if Kinzo truly felt affection as a parent, he would notice traces of the deceased mother and daughter in the child, and Kinzo and Sayo would be able to develop a parent-child relationship without knowledge of the truth.
Sayo was initially nervous with life on Rokkenjima, which was completely different from the life in the Fukuin House as everything was new and unfamiliar. As the youngest servant to work for the Ushiromiya family, Sayo was the only one who missed work in order to go to school. Though Natsuhi and Krauss always thought there was something odd about it and questioned Kinzo and the orphanage, Genji never shed any light on this. Some servants did not welcome the special treatment Sayo was given and often complained about it and even gave her the nickname "Yasu", which she despised. Because of Sayo's age and sloppiness, they grew to dislike Sayo even more, while Sayo continued to put effort into whatever work was given. However, older servants were annoyed by how often they had to help Sayo with chores because her young age didn't allow the young servant to do most things independently. However, these problems were viewed by Sayo as tests from God to help grow into a wonderful person someday.
It is mentioned that aside from Shannon, Sayo seemed to be in good relationship with the House Director, who played with and taught Sayo about things that cannot be seen with one's eyes, but with eyes of the heart. This way Sayo learned how to recognize beings not of this world at the Fukuin House and often spent free time in isolated rooms dreaming. Later it is revealed by several monologues that Shannon is Sayo's imaginary friend.
Basing on Kumasawa's stories of Beatrice's ghost and evil spirits of Rokkenjima, the young servant created the first Beatrice (later known as the demon Gaap). When Sayo's sloppiness resulted in incidents like losing keys or cleaning implements, the servant blamed it on Gaap's magic. Sayo and the prototype Beatrice became friends over the small broom which Beatrice hid in order to prank Sayo. Yet even after getting used to life on Rokkenjima, Sayo didn't manage to make a single human friend.
To help avoid the witch's pranks, Kumasawa gave Sayo a spiderweb charm (the kite strings) and taught Sayo a method to avoid losing things ('take them home' charm). Kumasawa's charms helped Sayo deal with forgetfulness and regain confidence. As time progressed, the young servant formed a relationship with Kumasawa and started borrowing mystery novels from her. Sayo found discussions and theorizing as the most entertaining part of mystery novels. While reading "And Then There Were None," Sayo ended up seeing mystery novels as a game between humans and witches.
After previous servants left, Sayo decided to make a good impression on new servants and teach them the ropes, being the more experienced one. However, the new servants were already warned about Sayo's carelessness and they didn't take Sayo seriously. Because of that Sayo played a prank on the new servants, claiming that the behavior was the result of being possessed by Beatrice, in hopes that they would begin listening to Sayo. Initially they didn't believe but after some time they started admitting that something inhuman existed on this island, as pranks became harder to explain. The day Beatrice pranked servant for the first time Sayo represented a desire to become a witch rather than a perfect servant, claiming to be done playing the part of the servant. Sayo's world was modified and she took on the name of the Golden Witch, the ruler of Rokkenjima's night, leaving previous Beatrice nameless for a while. Sayo's own self was erased from Shannon's memories, making the supposed two-person into single-person room and Beato took the form of a witch in white dress in accordance with rumors of Beatrice's ghost, the opposite of Gaap's appearance.
As time progressed Shannon gained respect from the newer servants. Due to a relationship with Battler and other children, Sayo began to pay more attention to the real world, giving up magic. Few times a year, Shannon and Battler met to discuss mystery novels they read and the motive behind them. Both of them strongly believed that only a heart can move people to commit a murder. At some point these discussions became an excuse for them meeting alone. On the conference of 1980 Battler made a careless promise, which Shannon took seriously. This promise made Sayo think carefully about the future and consider not just quitting work as a servant on Rokkenjima, but also confessing to Battler and sharing a life with him.
After Asumu's death and Rudolf's remarriage in 1981 to Kyrie Sumadera, Battler left the family due to a quarrel with his father and didn't participate in the next family meeting. Sayo considered it a trial of love. Battler didn't participate the family meeting in 1982 either, and jokes by the siblings hurt Sayo even more. She started to believe that the trial must be an eternal torture and couldn't believe that Battler may have forgotten Shannon, even after having such a nightmare. The family conference in 1983 became the most influential. Battler gave Kyrie several letters addressed to all the siblings, leaving out Shannon. That event broke Shannon's heart.
Shannon "visited" Beatrice, who believed that "the Root of Love" would kill Shannon. As a result, Sayo transferred Shannon's love for Battler to Beatrice, sealing those feelings deep inside the heart. Beatrice gained a form of Battler's ideal woman and learned love in exchange of pain. Sayo promised to create a little brother for Shannon so that she would not be lonely and will keep Battler off her mind. The next morning Kanon started working as one of the rare servants who serves Kinzo directly, like Genji.
In April of 1984 the portrait of the Golden Witch and the epitaph, that doesn't exist in Lion's world, were displayed. The epitaph was a message, which only Genji could understand. It is implied that Kinzo, who was facing his last years, already realised that his child Lion is still alive. Afterwards Genji told Shannon and Kanon what was Kinzo's 'beloved hometown', giving Sayo a hint. Once the epitaph was solved, the truth about Sayo's birth was revealed to the young servant. Even after being chosen as the successor to the Ushiromiya family, Sayo decided that Krauss should become the successor and nothing has to change. Sayo only kept Beatrice's dress, the key to the VIP Room, and ten tons of gold. On November 29th, 1984 Sayo became the true Golden Witch Beatrice.
Eventually, Shannon and Kanon started relationships with George and Jessica. In the last two years Sayo greatly suffered from the conflict of the furniture with incomplete souls. Because of this complex, based on condition of body, Sayo did not believe in having a future, the right to love, and felt less than a human being. To reconcile these feelings, Sayo conceived there was a duel, the result of which was almost decided. During "Dawn of the Golden Witch", this duel was assumed to be resolved along with trial of love. In "Twilight of the Golden Witch", Shannon and Kanon suggest that the duel can be decided different ways, like a coin toss or the quiz tournament.

Story.
Throughout the series, Yasuda has only been depicted through her personas and once as Clair during the events of "Requiem of the Golden Witch," where she was referred to as Yasu. The manga-only extra chapters, "Confession of the Golden Witch", however, depicts her as Sayo Yasuda herself.
For Yasuda's roles in the first six episodes, see their corresponding Solution subpage.
"Banquet of the Golden Witch"" (manga)".
After Beatrice denies witches in red and regains her form, she peers into her dress and looks at her breasts, hinting at her true nature.
"Requiem of the Golden Witch".
Yasuda first meets Willard H. Wright as Kanon. Kanon and Shannon take turns manning the reception desk in the chapel, and when Will asks Shannon to call Kanon so he can interview him, a strange look appears on Shannon's face, and she asks if Will really wants to do that. Because Shannon and Kanon are the same, Will cannot meet them both at the same time. It is not clear what would've happened if Will were to pursue his interview with Kanon.
Later, Bernkastel summons "the culprit" so that Will can ask them about their story. Yasu's appearance is not described, however she soon takes the form of Clair Vaux Bernardus and begins telling the story of her life.
Tea Party
Shortly before the massacre Sayo wrote many message bottles signed under the name Maria Ushiromiya. Each one contained a confession of her sins that she set off to sea on October 3rd. She also sent out money to the people whose families would die on the island (Doctor Nanjo and Kumasawa's families respectively).
On the day of October 4th, 1986, Sayo began the preparations to commence her murder-mystery game, but her plans were foiled by the adults solving the epitaph and discovering the gold. Sayo keeps her promise to stop the murders when the epitaph was solved. She gives the adults the gold card and all 10 tons of gold, along with her cooperation to accept any punishment the adults have for her. Sayo was seemingly killed by Kyrie after she was shot when Kyrie brings about the murders with Rudolf.
Later on after the incident, Sayo's message bottles which pinned herself as the culprit washed up on the shores of Nijima under the name of Maria Ushiromiya which kick started everyone's interest in the tragedy of the island.
"Twilight of the Golden Witch".
Bernkastel's Game
It is stated in red in the manga that "this game is set up so that everybody knows about the connection between Shannon and Kanon". Kanon disappears forever and is treated as killed after Shannon dies on the fourth twilight, hinting at the fact that they are both personas of Yasuda. Oddly, they appear at the same time during certain scenes.
Magic Ending
At the end of the episode, it is shown that Sayo had actually survived getting shot by Kyrie during "Requiem's" Tea Party and escapes the island with Battler on a motorboat. Sayo however doesn't feel she can go on and jumps off the boat with a bar of gold in an attempt to drown herself. Battler jumps after her and hugs her tightly as they fall together into the depths of the ocean.
"Twilight of the Golden Witch (manga)".
It is discovered that Sayo wrote another message bottle titled "Confession of the Golden Witch", which is discovered by Ikuko Hachijo. Sayo writes all about her life and her reasons for committing the Rokkenjima Massacre.
A retelling of "Requiem's "Tea Party is shown, where after Sayo survived getting shot by Kyrie, she wandered the island and searched for Battler, encountering him in the gold room where the adults' corpses lay. After hearing Eva's footsteps behind her and fearing they are Kyrie's, Sayo drags Battler into the tunnel to Kuwadorian. Battler soon realizes that Sayo is actually Shannon since her voice sounds very similar to hers.
The two escape Rokkenjima on a motorboat and wind up drowning when Sayo decides to throw herself overboard holding a gold bar. After they drown, Sayo and Battler soon enter the Golden Land, where Battler loses his memories. Sayo as Beatrice decides to play games with Battler to make him remember who he is.

This page contains a plot summary of the event Years of Infidelity.
Summary.
Sekai Saionji arrives to the Okinomiya Station when she receives a call from Setsuna Kiyoura. She wonders where Sekai had gone after having left the class group in the school trip, only to be told she'd be meeting Makoto Ito for a date just the two of them. But he wasn't even supposed to be there, he was sick. Setsuna warns Sekai she is just going to get her feelings hurt again, although to no avail.
In Hinamizawa, the Club members are excited debating about a tv drama they were watching. Apparently, two girls become bitter enemies due to a lover affair. Rena Ryuugu and Mion Sonozaki talk about how if they fell for the same guy, they wouldn't pursue him and both claim they'd step aside for the other. Friendship is more important than love. Although the others comment that it's not necessarily that simple in practice. When asked about what Rika Furude and Satoko Houjou would do if they fall for the same man, Rika says she doesn't really understand the idea of falling for a man, maybe some admiration at best. Satoko comments that if Rika fell for someone, she'd do her best to get in his way. Meanwhile, Rika says anyone who wants to date Satoko would need to be approved by her. The others comment she has a face of instant rejection. Meanwhile, Satoko adds if someone wanted to get to Rika, he'd need to get through all her traps first. Miyuki Akasaka knows the ending of the drama, and believes everyone will be really surprised since the tragic direction seems unexpected by all girls there.
Setsuna ends up going to Okinomiya to bring back Sekai, although she really doesn't like that entire situation. When she arrives there, she remembers how she had heard her mother talking Hinamizawa and the Great Hinamizawa Disaster before. Okinomiya itself was supposed to be mostly deserted nowadays due to the impacts of that. There were also the groups that went to Hinamizawa once the "ghost town" was finally reopened, and it's said that people disappeared there. Still, what freaked her out is that this Okinomiya seemed completely normal. In the outskirts, towards Hinamizawa, she could see farmers working too. On the other hand, her cellphone isn't working.
She stumbles upon a Tsukuyami, and is saved in the last moment by Miyuki, Nao Houtani and Kazuho Kimiyoshi. She quickly understands she actually was in a Hinamizawa of the past. The other girls were from 1993, while she was from further into the future. Setsuna talks about how her best friend Sekai was called to Okinomiya by Makoto Ito, and so she followed her. She also briefly talks about Makoto to them - someone who flirts with everyone, even boys if they're cute, and can keep relationships with multiple girls at once. Complete trash from Nao's point of view - reminding her of her own unfaithful father.
Tamurahime no Mikoto contacts them through Setsuna's cellphone and they learn there's some kind of disturbance in the junkyard. Getting there, Kazuho briefly sees a long haired girl who quickly disappears and then they meet Sekai, scratched up, seemingly attacked by something. She apparently doesn't remember how she ended up there though. Tamurahime quickly calls the group again - there was a presence in the Hinamizawa Branch School. The group heads there, just to see Rena and Mion going crazy, holding Keiichi Maebara's arms with strange eyes.
They were pulling his arms, claiming to want to play games with him or go to the treasure mountain after kyute things, but putting so much force into it his arms were cracking. The long haired girl was there too, mumbling about how everyone would do anything for love, and the people who said they wouldn't are just lying. Everyone is just like her. Miyuki somehow is taken in by the situation and goes crazy too, attempting to split Keiichi in two, claiming it's the only solution, but a slap brings her back to normal. Finally, a black card appears from the girl - seemingly causing that whole scenario. The Mei trio summon their Role Cards and materialize weapons to destroy it, ending the chaos.
Everyone goes back to normal. The long haired girl is Kotonoha Katsura, another person from Setsuna's world, like Sekai. Tamurahime confirms that Makoto Ito, who supposedly called Kotonoha and Setsuna, is still back in their world though. They'd need to wait a few days to return, but the incident was over, and they could just rest for a few days in Hinamizawa.

The 012th Holy Agent Corps, or , formerly known as Shavit Yalda, is an Aerial Augmented Infantry squad from the Abrahamic Brother Nations.
Profile Description.
"Attached to the ABN Peace Department The 012th Holy Agent Corps Yeladot Shavit"
"Ever since the Aerial Augmented Infantry was first created, the ABN leadership has had doubts as to whether it would be possible to suppress an uprising of ace units if one were to occur. So, following a pattern exactly opposite to the one-man-ace style of Thalathat Suyuf, they carried out trial-and-error experiments based on the concept of con-fronting a single ace with a team of three. Yeladot Shavit is a successful product of this initiative. Additionally, though the Holy Agent Corps is often viewed as a propaganda corps aimed at youngsters, some suspect that they're actually barrier troops."
"Rumor has it that their real mission is to observe allied Aerial Augmented Infantry troops from behind, ready to eliminate them if they ever attempt a betrayal or a defection. Their kette is composed of three Attackers. Supposedly, the three of them together can instantly kill a single treasonous ace. However, some think this is just another scary story from the Internet. They shine like idols, so there certainly are people on the nets who are jealous of them."
Background.
Yeladot Shavit was formed out of concern that an uprising could occur amongst the ABN Gauntlet Knight aces. In addition, they are used as a propaganda tool aimed at children. Namely, their duty is to encourage troops before battle and recruitment in the form of Public Relations targeted towards younger audiences in the form of pop idol.
The final chapter of Phase 1 shows that in addition, they also perform as barrier troops. They are tasked to kill any retreating units or anyone who is having a sub-par performance on the field that is marked by command. The combined power of the three is enough to down a friendly or enemy Ace.
Role in the Story.
For You, the Replaceable Ones.
In Chapter 2, Alongside Thalathat Suyuf, Yeladot Shavit participated as a representative for the Abrahamic Brother Nations in the International Battle Standard Festival. Later, they joined the Public Bath.
In Chapter 18, in a clash above the Mediterranean Sea between the ACR's Gauntlet Knights, who included Squad 601 and Cairo Memorial Squad; and ABN Forces, which also included Thalathat Suyuf. Yeladot Shavit is present to give a propaganda speech to encourage friendly Gauntlet Knights to fight for their faction and to kill and drive the invading ACR units out of their faction's land. This would be promptly ignored by the ABN Gauntlet Knights.
In Chapter 23, during the Drone attacks, Yeladot Shavit was present in order to inform people that religious police were present to arrest people without trial and to encourage people to report Atheist and fundamentalist terrorists as possible before they could take advantage of the situation.
In Chapter 25, before the Second Simultaneous Global Truce, the Squad was granted permission to shoot down allies whose performances were deemed lackluster by command.

Summary.
When it came to places of occult interest being determined by the number of victims who died there, Hinamizawa was surely one of them. At the Weekly Seven editorial department, Arakawa's editor praises him for an article about Hinamizawa he wrote for an occult magazine. The editor remembers it was a big deal when he was a student 20 years ago, and Arakawa sees he's talking about Hinamizawa Syndrome: a phenomenon where, after the Great Hinamizawa Disaster killed the villagers with poisonous swamp gas, relatives started to die or go insane, all claiming that the event wasn't a natural disaster but Oyashiro-sama's curse. Arakawa says that another theory's been going around the Internet, and it seems credible, so he plans to visit Hinamizawa. The editor is shocked since Arakawa himself said not to go in his article, but Arakawa wants to go anyway since he's a journalist. He tells the editor to assume that if he doesn't return, that he's been demoned away. Arakawa thinks Hinamizawa is more than just a ghost village since the 20-year-lockdown after the disaster is ridiculous.
Meanwhile, a woman tries to convince her resting boyfriend to come with her to Hinamizawa. He gets up and asks if she'll do the driving, and she happily agrees.
A boy sits on a bench and looks at an article about Hinamizawa, saying that it's only path left for him. He gets a notification on his cell phone and looks at it, then buries his head and tries to assure himself it will be okay. He looks at the sky as it's raining and says it will all be over soon. A woman in a kimono walks through the woods.
Everything will be over when the higurashi cry.

is the first chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
2006, early summer. A boy runs through the woods and runs from something. He's certain he heard an extra footstep. He thinks he may have been on the wrong path all along.
A car drives near a cliff. Machi asks the driver Akutagawa if she can open the window and holds her head outside, listening to the higurashi crying. She asks Chiaki to listen too, and Chiaki wonders why people don’t live in this old village anymore. Akira Otobe gives a passive response. Akutagawa says the journals call Hinamizawa an occult spot and explains that 20 years ago, in June 1983, the villagers all fell asleep and volcanic gas erupted from the nearby swamp, killing everyone overnight. Relatives of victims started to believe that this was Oyashiro-sama’s curse and went crazy, causing fires and committing murders. Otobe becomes concerned at hearing about a curse, and the rest of the group gets sad. Akutagawa continues, saying that relatives of Hinamizawans were discriminated against and gas continued to leak from the village, causing the government to lock it down for the next 20 years. Chiaki can hardly believe this story. Otobe plays with his phone while mentioning a rumor that the ghosts of the victims haunt the village, unable to accept their own death. Hinamizawa is commonly described as a deceased village, and Machi wonders if that applies to beyond the disaster. Akutagawa sees Otobe constantly opening and closing his phone and asks if there’s a problem, and Otobe replies that he's getting no signal. Akutagawa figures Otobe forgot to call someone and is about to suggest something else when Chiaki stops him, and Akutagawa apologizes. Otobe begins to say something, and Chiaki says he doesn't need to reply since he has his own problems, and so does everyone else; Chiaki looks wistful as she says this. Machi and Akutagawa agree, and say that it will all be over soon.
The car stops and Otobe gets out to check his phone signal again. He sees it's already 9:00 PM. It’s too dark to see anything, so Otobe considers going back to the car for a flashlight when he trips and falls down the cliff. After hitting the bottom and breaking his umbrella, he decides to walk through the forest and find shelter from the rain, soon hearing footsteps behind him. He remembers hearing about the extra footstep and fearfully runs through the forest, thinking that
no living person would ever come to the village, and determines there must be someone there who isn't. He soon encounters a woman standing out in the rain by herself, feeling a mysterious aura from her. Otobe wonders when he'd taken a wrong turn, and sees he's wandered into a strange world.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 10
is the tenth chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Arakawa continues to praise Mion for her fighting prowess as Otobe muses on her words. The group soon comes across the car that Otobe’s group drove in, the one with the carbon monoxide suicide. Otobe peers inside the window to see his friends dead and looking peaceful. Otobe realizes that crimes cannot be measured, and he’s no better than Yae for giving up so easily. He pulls out the bank card and thinks about how he never wanted to admit he messed up and chose to die instead of fixing everything. He believed his parents would hit him when he got home and told them about his debt, which is why he was so quick to commit suicide. Mion says the church believes the souls of those who kill themselves won't be saved and that throwing your life away is something you should never do. Arakawa says that doesn't stop so many youth suicides from occurring anyway.
Otobe opens the car door to bow and apologize to his dead friends when he starts hearing their spirits talking, much to Arakawa's discomfort. Chiaki allows Otobe to keep the bank card if it means he can pay off his debt, but he returns it to her anyway and promises that he will work hard. Chiaki laments that they could’ve survived if they just had a more serious conversation with themselves, and her spirit disappears after telling Otobe to try his best. Otobe bows once more. Mion is pleased at Otobe’s growth and muses that human life is like a toothpaste tube: they use it to the last drop. Otobe agrees.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 11
is the eleventh chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Otobe does some self-reflection and begins to realize how beautiful the Hinamizawa scenery is. Arakawa compliments him for looking so bright now, and the group hears a car nearby. Mion says to make haste to the Sonozaki estate, as there’s a tunnel underneath they can use to escape.
After walking past many similar-looking old houses, the group comes across a large one, which they call a rich man’s mansion. Mion stops and recalls memories of Keiichi and Rena calling out to her, and she calls out their names. Otobe calls her back to reality and Mion apologizes for her strange behavior and continues her pace. Otobe thinks that perhaps Mion used to know a Satoshi person who lived in this house.
They finally reach the estate, and Mion explains the mechanism the bell is supposed to be hidden in. The bell’s inside of a scroll that will be unrolled when the Tamahajiki no Katana is placed into an adorned scabbard. After they get the bell, they’ll escape through the underground well and come out of a storehouse in the forest. Mion opens the gate and reveals more black-suited armed men led by Mifune.
It's explained that many years ago, Akane Sonozaki was leading the family after her husband’s death despite lacking the bell, and one day she was attacked. Akane was hospitalized, and Mion learned from Kasai that Mifune, the leader of the rival group, was behind it. Mion was supposed to take over the family when the boss died, but since she was too young Akane took her place instead. Mifune plans to get rid of Akane and take control himself.
Mion derides Mifune for betraying the group. Mifune says she's still too young and demands the bell, and Mion gives a sarcastic response instead. Mifune gives the kill order to his men. Mion dispatches some of them and takes someone else's sword to begin dual-wielding.

is the twelfth chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Otobe and Arakawa trail behind Mion’s rampage, in awe at how quickly she incapacitated everyone. Mifune is especially impressed at how she's not mortally wounding her opponents, but is still disabling them with precise attacks. Otobe and Arakawa soon find Mion squaring off against the last trembling minion in the estate, with Mifune nowhere in sight. The man begs for his life and Mion decides to let him go, turning around to face Otobe when she gets shot in the back. The man mocks Mion for her naivete, asking how it feels to get shot by the same gun that shot Akane. The man fires his gun again but Mion stands up and slices the bullet in half. She then slashes at him, making him fall over with a spray of blood as he wonders how it's possible. Mion says the Tamahajiki no Katana is legendary for having sliced a bullet in half a long time ago and owes her luck to it.
Mion collapses from her wound and tries to crawl, and Otobe tries to help her. Mion then asks Otobe to take the sword and says her twin sister Shion will arrive soon, asking that he give the bell to her. Arakawa hears another car arriving and warns that more pursuers may be coming. He suggests that they escape but Otobe still wants to fulfill this last goal for Mion.
Otobe takes the sword and runs to the bell’s hiding place, Mion’s previous words echoing in his mind. He activates the mechanism and finds the bell, however Mifune appears behind him and congratulates Otobe for retrieving it for him.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 13
is the thirteenth and final chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Mifune demands that Otobe hand the bell to him, and Otobe’s conscience starts telling him to do it as well. Otobe still wants to fight to the end, but his conscience says he’ll die if he refuses. Mifune pulls out a gun and Arakawa suddenly charges into him, yelling for Otobe to protect the bell. Mifune knocks him away and turns back to Otobe, who has gripped the Tamahajiki no Katana in a fighting stance. Otobe doesn’t want to waste his life, however he still won’t fear death. Yae, Mion, and Arakawa have all fought long and hard for their own goals, and Otobe will do the same. He declares that he won’t give Mifune the bell and that he better not miss, otherwise Mifune will die with one slash. Mifune raises his gun and soon falls over after Mion strikes him from behind.
Mion is still weak from blood loss and calls Otobe Satoshi again, and Otobe corrects her. He then figures she isn’t Mion and calls her Shion instead. Shion becomes surprised and says she abandoned that name 20 years ago, asking who everyone is and when she got here anyway. Otobe hands the bell to her and says Mion asked him to do, and Shion replies that Mion died 20 years ago. Arakawa realizes that Mion saying she was being possessed her was true all along. Shion remembers that Mion’s spirit had come to her a few days ago and told her to go to Hinamizawa. Shion drove to the village and was chased by Mifune’s men, getting into a crash and soon falling unconscious. Otobe is shocked to hear that Shion was possessed the entire time, and Arakawa reminds him that they’re in the land of the dead. Mion died in the school explosion a long time ago, but her spirit remained close to Shion. Shion thanks her sister for the late gift, and Otobe then asks about her wound. Shion notices that her kimono is torn but there’s no blood; Mion must have taken the wound with her when she left.
Shion says this is not the first time Mion has stood by her side, however she can’t feel anything now. The group hears more footsteps and Shion tells them to relax as Kasai and another man come running in to confirm their safety. Yae shows up behind them, having guided everyone else to the Sonozaki estate after Kasai went to the shrine. Yae hands Mion's gun back and then says she’s talked things out with Takumi, having decided to start a new life and turn herself in. Otobe also decides to start over, planning to tell his parents everything and repay his debts somehow. Arakawa meanwhile despairs over what he’ll write in his article, as nobody will believe a story involving a yakuza family rebellion and dead people coming back to life.
Shion escorts everyone back to town as a favor and they drive past the ruins of a destroyed building, the site where the school exploded. They stop the car and Shion walks out, thinking that she should’ve died along with Keiichi, Rena, Rika, Satoko, and Mion 20 years ago. Otobe says that human life is like toothpaste, something Mion said earlier, and Shion says that’s a very Mion thing to say. She starts patting Otobe’s head, prompting him to mumble. Shion remembers Satoshi again as Kasai calls them back to the car. Otobe says Mion had one more thing to say to Shion: “let’s be twins in the next world.”
Shion cries and thanks Mion one last time, and plants her katana into the ground. A playing card flies on the wind to rest next to it.

is the second chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Otobe thinks there shouldn't be anybody in Hinamizawa after the gas disaster 20 years ago. He observes the mysterious woman and questions if she's actually holding a wrapped-up katana. The woman begins to leave and Otobe leaves his hiding spot to call out to her and, realizing his mistake, decides to ask where other people and shelter are. Without looking at him, the woman says there were people back where she came from and directs him to go that way. Otobe is relieved that she's a real human and asks her to accompany him, but she blows him off and tells him to figure it out himself and get out on his own two feet. Otobe is unable to accept this, and when the woman begins to leave again, Otobe asks where she's going, wanting an excuse to follow. The woman says she has business in Furude Shrine and finally looks at him, becoming shocked and calling him Satoshi. Otobe introduces himself as Akira Otobe, and the woman sees that she mistook him for an old friend. The woman laughs as Otobe is confused, and she decides to take him with her.
As they walk, Otobe asks the woman if she lived in Hinamizawa 20 years ago, and the woman affirms it and introduces herself as Mion Sonozaki. Otobe then asks if she really is a survivor of the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, and Mion replies that all he ever does is ask and instead asks where Otobe’s friends might be since he obviously didn't come alone. Otobe explains that his friends came to Hinamizawa for some sightseeing, and then the car stopped when he needed to use the bathroom. When he went back for a flashlight they suddenly disappeared, and then he slipped and fell down a hill. Mion seems undisturbed and says it's not uncommon for this village. Otobe wonders what she means, but is soon distracted by a light shining in the distance. Mion thinks it’s coming from the Furude Shrine, and Otobe starts running towards it. He's excited to not be alone anymore, but is distrustful of Mion because of her strange statement just now. Mion stops him and asks him to stay quiet.
Otobe and Mion soon find a car parked to the side of the road with the keys still in the ignition. They eventually reach the Furude Shrine, and Otobe whispers to Mion if there's something there. Mion ignores him and starts reminiscing of her club friends talking and having fun. Mion snaps out of it and confirms to Otobe that this is Furude Shrine, and that the light they saw seemed to be coming from the meeting hall.

is the third chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Yae and Takumi are inside the meeting hall, with Takumi asking Yae to drink with him; Yae declines, as she’s the one driving. Takumi says not to worry as this is an abandoned village, and he angrily throws his beer can at the wall and almost hits Yae, demanding that she drink. He yells that Yae was the one who invited him to come to the village, and Yae begins crying and apologizing, causing Takumi to stop. Displeased, Takumi goes to sleep as Yae continues apologizing. Yae checks the time as 11:00 and puts a blanket on Takumi when she hears a loud noise, opening the door to find Otobe and Mion outside.
Otobe asks Yae if they can have shelter from the rain and Yae struggles to answer them. Otobe asks Mion to put her wrapped-up thing away while saying that they’re not suspicious people. Inside the meeting hall, Otobe looks at the discarded Onigafuchi Defense Alliance posters and banners as Yae offers them snacks. Mion looks at Takumi sleeping in the back and asks if that’s Yae’s husband, and she explains that they’re not really married. Mion and Otobe eat, with Mion asking him if she cna tell the difference between broccoli and cauliflower. Otobe is confused.
Yae asks why they came to the village. Otobe explains that he came with friends and they all disappeared along with their car, and Mion starts laughing. She starts telling them both about onikakushi, the act of demoning away. The Onigafuchi Swamp near Hinamizawa was said to lead to hell, and long ago demons had come from there and started coexisting with humans, leading to Hinamizawa’s villagers becoming half human and half demon. The villagers were said to transform and drag people away during the night, giving rise to the term “onikakushi.” Cars and people disappearing even now wouldn’t be too strange, and Mion drinks while thinking that someone else will arrive.
Suddenly, Ryuunosuke Arakawa bursts through the door and tells them to call the police, saying that a car full of people who’ve committed carbon monoxide suicide have been found. Arakawa can’t call on his own phone since he dropped it in a puddle. Yae’s phone is out of range, and Otobe doesn’t have much battery left. Otobe goes out and tries to call, however the battery dies.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 4
is the fourth chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Mion doesn't understand why people would commit suicide these days. She laments that Hinamizawa is cursed, and that she could finally come back after 20 years just to hear about people dying again. Takumi continues to sleep as the group thinks that the man-eating demons of Onigafuchi have woken up. Arakawa questions why Mion knows know much, and Mion in turn asks who he is, as he was just wandering around the village at night.
Arakawa introduces himself as a journalist who came to Hinamizawa to research the legends and various phenomena that surrounded it. Yae introduces herself and Takumi, and Otobe also introduces himself and explains his situation. Arakawa says they can search for his friends when it's light out, but Otobe says it's fine. Mion sees how pale Otobe is and says he's scared, a smirk rising on her face.
Mion starts to leave since the rain should've stopped, but Arakawa demands to know who she is. Mion introduces herself, and Arakawa becomes surprised to hear that she’s related to the Three Families. Otobe asks Mion where she’s going, and she says she needs to go to the ritual storehouse near the shrine. Arakawa gets excited and asks to come along. Mion accepts, and Otobe also decides to come while Yae stays, as she was afraid of hearing the onikakushi story and wants to stay with Takumi. Once everyone leaves, Yae breathes a sigh of relief while Takumi wakes up and asks who was here. Yaw says that they should go home.
Mion’s group reaches the ritual storehouse, however it’s locked. Mion tells Otobe to stand back and unwraps her rod to reveal a katana. Arakawa asks why she’s carrying something like that around, but Mion pushes him away and destroys the lock to the storehouse with one slice. Otobe starts thinking that Mion came to the village for some other reason, and he and Arakawa soon bear witness to the torture tools hung inside the storehouse. Mion jokes that Otobe’s group must have been demoned away and are being tortured, which angers him.
Arakawa takes a few pictures and talks with Otobe about how these tools were meant for scaring villagers rather than actually using them. Arakawa starts discussing Hinamizawa’s history, mentioning how seclusive they were and how they disliked outsiders, and mentions a theory about alien parasites infecting the village. There was one girl 20 years ago who tried to warn villagers about it, and she took an entire school hostage and spread gasoline everywhere. The police tried to negotiate but unfortunately, the school exploded, and the Great Hinamizawa Disaster happened the next day. Otobe figures that girl was making a prediction, but Arakawa says nobody really knows. Some people claim the disaster was actually a gas attack by a secret government group to wipe out the aliens.
Mion laughs as she listens, saying that by that logic an alien parasite must be possessing her too. She stands in front of the statue of Oyashiro-sama and says that she's possessed. Otobe gets scared, and Arakawa freaks out and drags him out of the storehouse. Mion looks back at them in silence and turns back to the statue.
Otobe asks Arakawa why he did that, and he pulls out a list. He explains that Mion Sonozaki is supposed to be dead, a victim of the school explosion 20 years ago. Mion’s words echo in Otobe’s mind, and he gets confused.

Summary.
Yae and a still sleepy Takumi exit the meeting hall and head to their car, however Yae is shocked to see that it’s disappeared.
Alone in the warehouse, Mion comes across the Tamahajiki no Katana, saying to herself that she can’t get distracted only looking for keys. When something slams behind her, Mion thinks Otobe and Arakawa came back only to see Rika Furude's spirit standing there. Rika says she’ll help out just a little and a scroll rolls out. Rika soon disappears as Mion stands in awe.
Yae thinks back to the earlier conversation of demoning away, and a confused Takumi asks why the car’s missing. Yae yells out as something appears behind Takumi.
Otobe and Arakawa are kneeling outside the storehouse when Mion walks out, having finished her business and is heading back to the meeting hall. She thinks Rika appearing was just an illusion but thanks her nonetheless. Otobe is shocked to hear that Mion was supposed to die 20 years ago, and Arakawa asks who she really is. They then hear screaming, with Otobe concerned for Yae’s safety. Mion throws the Tamahajiki at Otobe to carry and draws her own sword, running off.

is the sixth chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
A shocked Yae cowers near the gate to the shrine in as Mion arrives and asks what’s wrong. Yae explains that she and Takumi parked near the gate and were going back when they saw their car disappeared. Someone then came up behind Takumi and attacked him, and Yae ran away. Mion doesn't sense anyone else around, but she prepares to go search by herself. Otobe decides to call the police again, but realizes that he dropped his phone earlier. He hands the Tamahajiki no Katana over to Arakawa and runs back to get it.
Mion returns from searching and finds no trace of any vehicles or people anywhere. Arakawa asks if she saw a motorcycle, as he came to the village on one. Mion smirks and says she didn't see one either. The group then goes off to retrieve Otobe and find him standing by himself. Arakawa realizes that Mion and Otobe have the same model of cellphone, so they can exchange batteries. However, Otobe is shocked, as even though he dropped his phone it got destroyed, and holds up the remains for everyone to see.
Gathered back in the meeting hall, Arakawa wonders who broke Otobe’s phone; he thinks someone is trying to cut off their communication and kill them. Seeing that Yae keeps shaking, Otobe goes to get her a blanket and opens a closet, only to find Takumi’s dead body inside. Yae screams in terror and goes up to him. The group thinks Takumi got attacked outside and was dragged inside by the killer, and Arakawa reveals he left his own cellphone inside the meeting hall, as it was no help. His phone is not broken, meaning the perpetrator who broke Otobe's phone already knew it was worthless; that person is inside the room right now. Mion sighs and says Arakawa must be reading too many mystery novels, and Arakawa then says Mion is the most suspicious person here, thinking about the victims list and her katana.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 7
is the seventh chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Mion pays no heed to Arakawa’s insinuation and says if she really were the culprit, she could effortlessly kill everyone and swings her wrapped katana near his head. Arakawa is startled and claims he knows martial arms when Otobe grabs him. Otobe then calls Arakawa suspicious, questioning if he really is a magazine reporter. Arakawa tries to calm down and looks at his notes, remembering the curse of Oyashiro-sama and how punishment is supposed to be given for those who invade the ritual storehouse. He also mentions how an alien was said to be in the storehouse and a theory of how the Great Hinamizawa Disaster was caused by humans, and he asks if Mion knows anything.
Arakawa also remembers something about Oyashiro-sama's messenger and asks if Mion is that messenger, but she stands up and exclaims that Oyashiro-sama’s curse isn't as lame as this. She then asks Otobe why only his phone was broken. If the culprit knew only Otobe’s cell phone was working, they would also know that the battery was dead. Even though Mion and Otobe had the same model, Mion’s phone was out of range while Otobe’s was; the entire village is outside cell range, as it’s located in a ravine and there’s no relay device. Otobe says the antenna on his phone worked earlier, and Mion decides to agree before pulling out a bank card and asking whose it is. Otobe dropped it when he went to get the blanket, and the name on the card doesn’t match Otobe’s at all. Mion then grabs Otobe’s head and looks into his eyes, asking what he’s really hiding.
Otobe starts crying and thinks about his past. He used to live in the countryside and ran away from home, thinking he was meant for better. He went to Tokyo and wanted to enter Tokyo University and enjoyed his freedom. Otobe worked hard but wasted all of his money, soon quitting college after less than six months. He was deep in debt and kept borrowing money, and in no time Otobe began to realize he hit a dead end in his life. He considered going back home but couldn’t face his parents and decided he was better off dead. Otobe thus arranged with some people to die in Hinamizawa, having known it as a suicide village. Akutagawa, Machi and Chiaki were all planning to commit suicide with Otobe and had stopped in the village to make the arrangements. While going there, Machi talked about how she wanted to see her dead family members, since Hinamizawa was supposed to be a village of the dead. Everyone then began to tell their personal stories of why they wanted to die, and Otobe realized he was pathetic. He then noticed that Chiaki had a bank card, a memento of her dead husband. Otobe thought he could fix his life if he got that card.
Everyone except Otobe took sleeping pills, and during that time Otobe took the card. Arakawa realizes that the suicide car he saw earlier was that same car, and Otobe apologizes to everyone for lying. He wanted to withdraw the money on the card before letting the police know about it, and he lied about his phone having service, and admits to destroying it himself. As Otobe bows his head, Mion admonishes him for being a coward. Arakawa then asks if Otobe killed Takumi, and Otobe swears that he never did such a thing. Mion believes in Otobe’s innocence, as a coward like him couldn’t kill anyone.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 8
is the eighth chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Arakawa is confused as Mion looks down at Yae, who’s inching away. Mion thinks the criminal didn’t carry Takumi’s body back here, but rather they couldn’t move it in the first place. Yae is the only one who ever saw Takumi awake, and the others have only ever seen him sleeping under a blanket; Mion deduces Takumi was dead since the start, and Yae is the perpetrator. Arakawa says she would’ve run away immediately if she were the killer, and there's no reason for her to say she was attacked and come back here. Mion agrees, as if Takumi really was attacked outside then his clothes should be wet and dirty. Mion asks Yae to pull the blanket off of Takumi so they can confirm it. She does so and admits that she killed Takumi long before everyone arrived, and was close to getting her peaceful life back.
Yae used to love Takumi and was genuinely happy with him and loved hearing about his dreams, however after they graduated from college, Yae was able to find a steady job while Takumi couldn’t. She says Otobe should understand and explains that she was paying for most of Takumi’s expenses, and they soon began to argue over the most simple things. One day Takumi was drinking sake during another argument. Yae wanted things to change and was mentioning that her friends thought poorly of Takumi, and then he suddenly hit her. After beating her for a while, Takumi calmed down and began profusely apologizing. Takumi would become abusive when things didn't go his way, but Yae continued to stay with him, even after she was hospitalized. She desperately wanted Takumi to go back to the way he was, but one day she had enough. They heard about Hinamizawa after reading about it in a magazine, and Yae invited Takumi to visit it with her so she could kill him; Takumi got drunk and Yae strangled him to death with rope, however she failed to anticipate other people visiting the village.
Yae says she might feel regret for it later but Arakawa is doubtful, thinking she had another motive like money or another lover. Mion says Arakawa could be telling the truth and wants to let Takumi explain it himself, going up to his body and resting her hand on his forehead. Takumi then begins speaking, much to everyone’s shock, and apologizes for not realizing that Yae was cornered by him. When Yae asked him to visit the village, he had hoped to change himself for the better and was already planning to get a job at a firm. Yae exclaims that he’s lying, and Mion pulls something out from Takumi’s pocket: an admission letter. Takumi forgives Yae and says the only bad person was him, and says all the things he loved about her before falling silent.
Yae starts crying and wants Takumi to say more, but Mion says he’s dead. Arakawa wonders how a dead man can speak, and Mion reminds him that Hinamizawa is connected to the land of the dead, and the dead have every right to express themselves like the living can. Arakawa still questions the fact that Yae pretended to get attacked by someone and acted like Takumi was still alive, and Mion figures she really did hear Takumi’s voice speaking to him up until she killed him. Arakawa and Otobe get shocked, and Mion asks if they’ve noticed the people surrounding the meeting hall. Arakawa is confused and Mion says she was hoping to escape earlier but got caught up in this little murder mystery. She tells everyone to stay put and draws her katana.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoigoshi-hen Manga Chapter 9
is the ninth chapter of "Yoigoshi-hen".
Summary.
Otobe demands to know what’s going on, and Mion asks him to think about who’s really at the center of things: Otobe broke his phone and Yae killed Takumi, but the disappearance of Arakawa’s bike and Yae’s attack are benefiting someone else. Some black-suited men then appear wielding batons and swords, and Mion says it took them long enough as Arakawa and Otobe watch from behind a corner. One of the men then draws a gun, and Mion charges at the group. Otobe is entranced by Mion's fighting. Soon, Mion successfully dispatches the men without killing anyone and reveals she has her own gun, and sends them running. Otobe asks if those men were responsible for the car’s disappearance, and Arakawa asks who they even were.
The group sits down inside of the meeting hall. Mion explains that the Sonozaki Family and Sonozaki Group held power in Hinamizawa a long time ago, and there were internal disputes between them. Mion is not being acknowledged as the head of the Sonozaki Family, and in order to prove her legitimacy she must find an ancient hand bell that has been used by previous heads to prove their succession. Mion came to Hinamizawa to find that bell; the only other person who knew was her grandmother Oryou, who is now deceased, and Mion only had a scroll that said it was inside the ritual storehouse. The Tamahajiki no Katana that Mion found earlier is supposed to be a key for finding that bell, and those black-suited men belong to the rival faction and are trying to get the bell first. They got rid of the car and bike to prevent Mion from escaping the village, and they also attacked Yae thinking she was an ally. Furthermore, those men will probably erase everyone in the village to ensure no witnesses are left.
Mion plans to go to the Sonozaki head estate to find the bell, and she’s not forcing anyone to come. Otobe and Arakawa decide to follow her, but Yae wants to stay. She wants to stay with Takumi and still has some things to think about. Mion decides to let her stay and leaves behind her gun for just in case. Otobe thinks Yae plans to die and Mion says that’s for her to decide, as she thought long and hard before killing Takumi, and she’ll now be using this time to think about after. What matters is how earnestly Yae decides what to do.

Publisher's Summary.
English.
"In the twenty years since the Hinamizawa disaster, the small village has become a literal ghost town. Terrible rumors about the mysterious gas leak that claimed hundreds of lives have kept even the most curious at bay. But on this night, fate has led five strangers to the abandoned mountain hamlet-among them a certain Mion Sonozaki. As the footsteps of the living echo through the abandoned halls of Furude shrine, the sleeping demons of Hinamizawa stir once again..."
Chapters.
This volume includes the first seven chapters of the story.
Afterword.
Ryukishi07.
"The "Beyond Midnight Arc" is a new side story that wasn't in the original game series."
"The setting in the side story has left the year 1983 and takes place in the present day, but the world and laws that make up the foundation of the "Higurashi" series still carry over. In that sense, I may call it a side story, but it is still a legitimate "Higurashi WHEN THEY CRY" arc that is in no way inferior to the others."
"The other episodes are filled with the cry of the Higurashi cicadas, which brings a sad feeling in the midst of tranquility, but those voices go unheard in the world of this "Beyond Midnight Arc." Instead, all we hear is the gentle, melancholy sound of the rain late at night. Four men and women gather in a quiet, eerie, abandoned village, not knowing who the others are. By a strange coincidence, they take shelter from the rain together...In the deserted village that was wiped out in a single night by the great Hinamizawa disaster long ago."
"Mimori-sensei has wonderfully depicted that mysterious and eerie world with the tip of a pen pregnant with delicacy and bewitching charm. I hope you will enjoy the continuation of this story of a bizarre night in the rain..."

Beyond Midnight Arc Vol. 2 is the second and final volume of "Yoigoshi-hen", and the 10th overall volume of the manga adaptation of . The volume was released in English by Yen Press.
Publisher's Summary.
English.
"With Mion's name clearly printed among the names of those killed in Hinamizawa twenty years ago, suspicion for the murder falls on her. But Mion isn't the only one whose story doesn't quite add up. How did the killer know Otobe's was the only phone with a signal? How could Otobe's friends have simply "disappeared"? Is it really the work of demons, or is there a murderer among them?"
Afterword.
Ryukishi07.
"Hello, I'm Ryukishi07."
"Just as the name suggests, the "Beyond Midnight Arc" was designed as a compact story in which the characters spend one night in the rain. Each of the characters speaks from their personal standpoints (only saying what's best for them), and some-thing keeps twisting...This might ring a bell with very knowledgeable people, but it's inspired by the world-famous story Rashomon, written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and made into a film by Akira Kurosawa."
"Otobe, who joined a carbon monoxide suicide group but instead stole his dead comrade's cash card, doesn't want the police to be contacted until he gets the money. And Towada, who killed her lover, wants to disappear before anyone finds out. Mion is being followed, and her pursuers continue to surround her, cutting off her methods of escape until they've rallied enough men...Only each person involved with each of the three situations knows that part of the truth. So what if Arakawa, who knows all about Oyashiro-sama's curse, takes all the facts and leads them to a conclusion completely distorted from the truth? ...And that's where we get the story of a single night-the "Beyond Midnight Arc." if I said it was a story that complies with Rule Z of the main "Higurashi" story, I think those of you who are familiar with the original series will understand. I think that our daily lives are overflowing with Rule Z. We take the statements of people who say only what is convenient for their interests, interpret them in a way that's convenient for us too, and then behave based on that forced understanding. ...It may be that, no matter how coolheaded we are, we cannot look at things objectively. All we can do is try to be aware of it ourselves, warn ourselves that everything is adapted for the convenience of whoever told us, and strive to look at things with a level head."
"I am truly grateful to Mimori-sensei, who depicted this compact but mysterious story in such a spectacular way! Mimori-sensei's drawings of Mion in a kimono are so amazingly wonderful that I had a lot of fun looking at the rough drafts for each chapter! Thank you very much for sticking with the series to the end! I pray with all my heart for your future endeavors!"

Newspaper Article.
<poem>
Around 4 PM on the 24th, 911 operators received a message stating, "several gunshots were heard in the university hospital parking lot, and a woman had collapsed."
Emergency responders transported the victim to another nearby hospital, but she was already comatose and in critical condition.
It was later discovered that the woman visiting the hospital was Akane Sonozaki, the acting head of a regional mob organization known as the Sonozaki Group. The metropolitan police department is investigating the incident as an attempted murder.
The Tokyo metropolitan government is also investigating its relationship to a series of conflicts over the Sonozaki Group's succession, following the death of the group's leader last year.
According to their investigation, the acting Sonozaki head was shot from behind at close range, and the bullet went through her left breast.
Several shell casings were found at the crime scene, so the metropolitan police believe the assailants were armed with automatic handguns.
After the shooting, a man around 30 years of age was seen fleeing the scene in a white car.
The man was dressed in a black suit and hat, with his face obscured by sunglasses.
When metropolitan police searched for the fleeing vehicle, they found a car matching the witness's description in a convenience store parking lot approximately 1 km north of the crime scene.
Police believe the man escaped from there after switching to another car.

Dozing Driver Leaves Three Dead.
<poem>
Around 4:15 PM on the 3rd, a truck swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with a passenger car on a country road in Narita, Chiba prefecture.
After the accident, the riders of the passenger car, Tadashi Hyuga-san (44), his wife Yukiko-san (43), and their second daughter Masae-san (13), were brought to a hospital but died soon afterwards due to the bruising suffered across their entire bodies.
The driver of the truck, Kazumi Kajimoto (22), was seriously hurt in the accident and is currently undergoing intensive care, but is expected to recover.
According to the Narita police department's investigation, the truck was swerving even before the accident site. The driver, Kajimoto, was suspected of falling asleep at the wheel and arrested on the charge of negligent manslaughter.
According to acquaintances of the Hyuga family, they were on the way to the airport to pick up their eldest daughter, Machiko-san (19), who was returning home after graduating in America.
"They were a happy family. The kids and parents got along so well. Machiko-san was really looking forward to coming home..." commented a neighbor who was losing her voice from the sudden tragedy.

The Danger of Joint Liability.
<poem>
If your parents, siblings, or other guardians ask if you'd like to "become a debt co-signer" you may not think much of it.
There are many opportunities to act as a co-signer in Japanese society.
However, when it comes to "joint liability" agreements, those shouldn't be decided so easily. Those demand careful judgment and preparation before accepting.
A "co-signer" and a "joint liability partner" have completely different scope and weight in their responsibilities.
A co-signer certifies that a debtor is credible. Essentially saying they "trust" the person they're acting as a guardian for.
On the other hand, a joint liability partner bears all the same responsibilities as the borrower. The scope is essentially identical to the debtor, himself.
Therefore, when a debtor abandons their obligation to repay their debt or loses the ability to repay, the responsibility is passed on to the joint liability partner.
And even if you're not a signatory yourself, there are cases where responsibility is inherited because a parent was a co-signer.
There is even a risk that a person can become a co-signer for a person they don't know, and forced to repay a massive debt.
The joint liability system is unique to Japanese culture and very much so a product of an older era. And thanks to that system, people are essentially able to borrow money using people as collateral.
So for anyone who has accepted a joint liability agreement, or is currently considering accepting one, please understand exactly what it means to become a joint liability partner.

Untimely Death of IT Entrepreneur.
<poem>
Masamichi Hori-san of "Hori Consulting," a pioneer of the "IT governance" boom in IT entrepreneurship, passed away at 1:30 AM on the 5th as a result of acute subarachnoid hemorrhaging. Age 41.
Masamichi-san focused on the importance of IT infrastructure from early on, and was able to accumulate a considerable amount of assets in his role as founder.
"President Hori's good sense and organizational strength were far beyond any other systems engineer."
"But as a result, he always felt the need to stay heavily involved in large scale projects, so he was far too busy to spend any time at home."
"I wonder if his tireless work at all hours of the day may have contributed to his early death?"
Concerned parties lamented his untimely death.
On the other hand, the death of Hori Consulting's founder forced the company to once again consider a diversified management structure.
Economic critics familiar with the situation pointed out, "A company led by a single charismatic founder will be in a pinch after their death. Sometimes the founder's role in a venture capital firm is too large for a proper successor to emerge, and this may be one of those cases."
The name "Masamichi Hori" carries tremendous power. Those closest to the deceased, such as his wife, are at the top of the list of people set to take control of the organization, but the outlook is still uncertain.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yoshihito Kanamori
is Marie Moriya's homeroom teacher and the main antagonist of Mesomeso-san. He originally defended Marie against her bullies but has long since taken to molesting her in the bathroom of the old school building to relieve the daily stress of his job.
Appearance.
Kanamori has black hair and black eyes. He wears a black pinstripe suit and shoes, a yellow shirt and a blue tie.
Personality.
Kanamori seems like a handsome and likable guy but he is secretly a brutal, animalistic child molester. He has a superiority complex, viewing his acts onto Marie as a way to prove that he is superior compared to her, and later declares he is like Mesomeso-san when he gets away with killing Marie.
Background.
Kanamori was Marie's teacher and helped rescue her from some bullies. Marie became grateful and developed a small crush on him, which Kanamori took advantage of by forcing her to perform sexual favors in exchange for continued protection. They would do their business privately in the bathrooms in the old school building where Kanamori would always film Marie, threatening to release the tapes if she ever told anybody.
Role in the Story.
Mesomeso-san.
Kanamori is introduced. He considers that some day, Marie will grow older, leave school, and eventually report him to the police, so Kanamori decides that maybe she should be killed. He overhears students talking about Mesomeso-san, a supposed youkai inhabiting the bathrooms in the old school building, and worries that his relationship with Marie will be discovered.
During another one of their private meetings, Marie asks to speak with Kanamori about something. Kanamori confirms she still hasn't told anyone and reminds Marie he still has the tapes. Kanamori is still concerned that Marie will reveal everything to the police soon and decides to choke her to death. Marie offers little resistance and soon dies at Kanamori's hands.
Just then, another girl enters the bathroom, trying to investigate the rumor of Mesomeso-san. Kanamori's paranoia grows as he's hiding in the bathroom stall with Marie's corpse. When the girl knocks on the door, Kanamori pretends to be Mesomeso-san and repeats the lines according to the story. The girl is scared away. Kanamori quickly escapes the bathroom with Marie's corpse now that nobody is around and hides her inside an abandoned storehouse. That night, Kanamori notices that a button is missing on Marie's clothes, but he pays it no heed and throws her body into a septic tank in an abandoned outhouse. Kanamori gloats at his victory and thinks he is now Mesomeso-san because of that earlier event in the bathroom. Meanwhile, Marie becomes a ghost and is informed by Higanbana that she and Kanamori have entered a competition to see who is more fit to become the real Mesomeso-san.
Marie's disappearance is reported to the police the next day, and when interviewed Kanamori lies that he doesn't know what happened to her. Kanamori's belief that he's Mesomeso-san grows, confident that he successfully got away with murder. Later, Kanamori suddenly trips in the hallway and goes to the infirmary to get patched up. While the nurse tends to him, Kanamori notices a button fall off of the doll sitting in the infirmary. Kanamori sees that the button came off of the doll's right sleeve, the same location as Marie's missing button, and realizes that he needs to find Marie's button as it may implicate him.
Kanamori waits until nighttime when no other staff or student will be at school and goes to the old building to find it. He finds the button resting on the toilet paper holder inside the stall he killed Marie in and drops it into the toilet, fully convinced he is free. Kanamori lets out an evil laugh and moves to leave the stall, however the door won't open no matter what. He then hears Marie crying mesomeso" outside the door and asking why he killed her.
Kanamori tries to justify his actions and mocks Marie for thinking the videos could actually be used against her. Marie continues to cry out as Kanamori insults and derides her. Marie's wailing grows, and Kanamori opens the stall door to reveal Marie looks the same as when she was a human. Marie tries to run away and Kanamori grabs her by the throat, intending to strangle her to death again.
Marie tries to feebly fight back by choking Kanamori as well, and Higanbana appears to declare the results of the Mesomeso-san vote. Kanamori thinks he's won, but Higanbana declares that Marie will become the eighth ranked youkai. Just then, Marie gains a massive strength booth and overpowers Kanamori. As Kanamori is strangled, Higanbana explains he's unfit to become Mesomeso-san since he broke one of its rules, which is to never look at its true form. Marie admits that she did love Kanamori at the beginning and crushes every bone in his body, killing him. Kanamori's apparent disappearance goes unquestioned.
After School.
In this dream world, Kanamori and Shintani argue over who is more depraved.
Other Appearances.
The Inhuman Teacher.
This story features Kanamori as the protagonist and portrays him as a good teacher who legitimately cared about his students. He spends time trying to help a girl named Emi Himuro do better in class and starts having after-school lessons with her. Kanamori tries to stop lessons once Emi's grades improve, but Emi refuses and wants to keep having lessons. Kanamori obliges, taking it upon himself to help Emi succeed while other teachers couldn't. The vice principal later asks Kanamori to stop favoriting Emi and having lessons with her since teachers need to be fair. Kanamori tries once again to convince Emi that they need to stop, but Emi pours her heart out to him and doesn't want to be abandoned now that she has good grades. Kanamori decides to keep having lessons with Emi and becomes more protective of her.
They change their lesson location to a new room, where Emi and Kanamori's relationship progresses to the point Emi wants to marry him someday. Kanamori agrees, and Emi asks that they kiss to prove their promise. They do so, and Kanamori fully falls in love with her, having concerns about their relationship while also having immoral thoughts about her.
The next day, Emi is hit by a truck and sent to the hospital, with Kanamori despairing since she has little sign of recovery. Kanamori cries in the school at night and is consoled by the vice principal, who also reminds him that he's inhuman because he's a teacher, and so Kanamori is expected to continue school lessons tomorrow like nothing is wrong. Kanamori refuses and insists he's human, and the vice principal disappears and leaves him alone.
Kanamori wanders the school in sadness and starts calling out to youkai, wanting them to help since he's inhuman. He comes across a giant mirror and yells into it, and ends up summoning Kyou. Kyou offers to save Emi in exchange for half of Kanamori's soul, and he agrees. The good part of Kanamori's soul is taken, and so Emi begins making a recovery in the hospital. Kanamori makes regular visits to her and continues keeping their promise to get married, and ominously cackles as he acknowledges Emi still having the good part of her soul.
07th Theater 2.
The team challenges the "Higanbana" world by sending in Rose to deal with Kanamori. She tries to fix his attraction towards little girls by sending him to Primavera to meet the older ladies there.
The "Higurashi" team later challenges the "Higanbana" world, with Rena stalking Kanamori throughout the school halls.

Personality.
Yuka is usually cheerful, a drunkard and makes a lot of judo analogies, but she takes her job seriously.
Story.
Yuka tells Tomohiro about how the police are getting many reports of pranks related to Ohone-sama's curse. She expresses her belief that charms and curses work because people believe them to, and even if Ohone-sama is fake there's a possibility he can come to life.
Yuka is later called to the school to investigate Miyoko Tanashi's accident, who fell unconscious after being pushed off of the stairs to the prefab school building, with the students calling it Ohone-sama's curse. She and her colleague discover a shovel buried in the ground, which Miyoko landed on and caused her to fall unconscious in the first place. Yuka later asks Tomohiro what he knows about Ohone-sama's curse and leverages some suspicion after noticing Tomohiro had gone to school early that day.
A few days later, Yuka takes a call from her colleague and hears that Miyoko's woken up and has accused Rie Satou of pushing her. Tomohiro overhears this, and Yuka tells him to forget everything he heard. Yuka later meets Tomohiro at Tanuki Shrine and gets him to confess everything about his creation of Ohone-sama. She then tells him her opinion of the incident, which was an elaborate setup by Miyoko to get Satou in trouble for dating a teacher.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Yukari Sakaki
is the main protagonist of Utopia and A Thistle of Vengeance. Yukari is a girl who comes from a poor, dysfunctional family, for which she is quite cruelly bullied.
Background.
Yukari's mother died in a car accident, and she became depressed while trying to help her father move on and assist with chores. Yukari would start wearing the same dirty clothes to school since they had no willpower to do the laundry, and this caused her to start getting bullied. Though Yukari's home situation eventually improved, when she told her father and teachers she was bullied they simply told her to ignore it.
Role in the Story.
Utopia.
Yukari hides in a bathroom and despairs over her continued bullying, wondering what she should do. Higanbana tries enticing her to commit suicide, but Marie intervenes to tell Yukari otherwise. Marie says she should fight bullying and tell her parents and teachers instead of enduring it, but Yukari frowns at the thought since she already told trusted adults and they ignored her.
A new girl named Reiko Oosumi joins the class, and Yukari becomes friends with her since they've both experienced bullying. Reiko becomes the new target of bullying by the class while Yukari can only watch. Higanbana tries to convince Yukari to join in on Reiko's bullying, calling it a true utopia, but Yukari has enough and yells at the class to stop. Everyone, including the teacher just stares at her.
As Yukari and Reiko walk home, Yukari apologizes to her for not stopping her bullying sooner. Reiko thinks her suffering is necessary so everyone else can have fun, but Yukari says nobody needs to be bullied and promises to protect her. Reiko however goes on about how bullying is amazing and reveals her true nature as a youkai.
Reiko attempts to kill Yukari but Marie saves her and exposes Reiko as actually being Sumire, one of the ranked school youkai. Marie tells her to stop harassing Yukari, but Sumire reminds her that if Reiko Oosumi were to suddenly disappear the next day, Yukari would go back to being bullied by everyone.
Marie still fights Sumire but is defeated. Sumire demands that Yukari join in on the bullying tomorrow, otherwise Reiko Oosumi will disappear and Yukari will go back to being the target. Yukari refuses to, and Sumire disappears since she's made her choice. The next day, the memory of Reiko Oosumi disappears from everyone in class, and they go right back to bullying Yukari to satisfy their addiction. Some of the boys hound Yukari for never washing her clothes and start stripping her while Sumire watches and mocks her. Yukari runs away from class and ends up tripping and injuring herself due to Higanbana's involvement. The teachers help Yukari to the infirmary as she resolves to not let Marie down.
Yukari stays home from school the next few days. To her benefit, her entire class of bullies goes on a field trip and dies in a traffic accident. When Yukari returns to school, she gets transferred to a new class where everyone welcomes her. Yukari thanks Marie for always helping her and then goes to break off a potential bullying incident.

is an ace baseball player. He first appears in "Tatarigoroshi".
Profile.
"He's an ace pitcher who belongs to the baseball team of a high school in the prefecture."
"His fastball is one of the best in the country, and he is playing a big role in the Koshien Tournament."
"However, he's actually a hot-blooded idiot who loves moe."
Appearance.
Kameda doesn't have a sprite in the original visual novels. Console ports and various adaptations give him shaved blackish-gray hair and amber eyes. His casual outfit sprite consists of a yellow and red shirt with blue pants.
Personality.
Kameda presents himself as a sportsman who will claim victory no matter what, but he can be easily swayed. Kameda really loves sweets and relishes in perversion, comparing desserts to girls in dresses. He's lied in some of his sports interviews to conceal this fact.
Background.
Kameda attends Ooshima High School, a school known for sending skilled players to Koshien baseball tournaments. Console ports change this to be an unnamed school. As a kid he was part of the Okinomiya Titans baseball team.
Story.
Tatarigoroshi.
Kameda is introduced. The Hinamizawa Fighters and Okinomiya Titans are playing a game in Okinomiya, and Kameda decided to help his old team when they started losing and turned the game around. Even with help from the club, the Fighters were losing fast; Satoko constantly missed her swings and Mion injured herself, and with all the cameramen and journalists around, the club couldn't hope to scrounge up a win with their usual foul play tactics.
Kameda suddenly goes off to use the bathroom. which Keiichi thinks was set up by Satoko using laxatives, and he uses this chance to talk with him. Keiichi asks Kameda to let the Hinamizawa Fighters win and talks about his perversion, knowing all about Kameda's eating habits because he ate at a Sonozaki-owned restaurant one time. Kameda finds a kindred spirit in Keiichi and is convinced to throw the game in exchange for an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet at Angel Mort.
The game resumes and Kameda starts weakening his throws while playing along with Keiichi's taunts, making it seem as though Keiichi is a better player and avoiding suspicion from the people watching. Keiichi switches out with Satoko and Kameda announces that he'll throw an easy ball, wanting to make Satoko feel better for missing her swings earlier. However, Satoko successfully hits a home run and claims victory; Satoko's bad swings earlier were part of a ploy to make Kameda think lowly of her.
Kameda dies in an accident while escaping the Great Hinamizawa Disaster.
Meakashi.
The credits show that as of 2004, Kameda currently lives in Tokyo.
Tsumihoroboshi.
Kameda and Keiichi develop a friendship after a baseball game.
Kameda shows up at Angel Mort for the Dessert Festa and is surprised to see the club girls in their punishment outfits, wondering why Keiichi never told him about them. Mion soon starts a dessert-eating competition with Kameda, Tomita, and Okamura challenging Keiichi, Rena and Irie for the position of the winners since the last club game ended in a draw. Kameda and Rena match each other with their eating speed, though the real winner of the competition is unclear since chaos erupted when the entire restaurant got involved.
Minagoroshi.
Kameda and Keiichi develop a friendship after a rigged baseball game.
Keiichi asks Kameda to come and support the club's appeal of the child consultation center to save Satoko from her uncle, however Kameda is unwilling to go since that day was Angel Mort's Dessert Festa, and he won a ticket. After a round of debate, Kameda agrees to help Satoko and Mion offers to remove him from Angel Mort's blacklist as a reward. After learning that Keiichi needs a large number of people to strengthen their case, Kameda calls out to the other Angel Mort customers-regulars who weren't invited to the Dessert Festa-and convinces them to help. A few days later, Kameda arrives with his athlete friends and otaku allies, joining the protest against the child consultation center.
Kameda is presumed to have died in the Great Hinamizawa Disaster.
