I KNEW it. I just knew that Takano was behind everything to do with the disasters Hinamazawa kept experiencing in each world. For me this just boosts my love for her character. She was able to feign innocence for so long without slipping up once and revealed her true nature with ease. I loved how she managed to keep her soft and sultry voice even after the change in behavior and the revelation of her plans. Again though, her seiyuu did such a marvelous job that I’m sure I shivered more than once when she turned from giddy innocence to a calm she-devil.

Anyways, I loved how they showed the scene where she was driving Tomitake to dump him somewhere with his bike in the back seat. That scene was totally reminiscent of the time when Keiichi caught a ride with her with the same kind of setup. Those are some great connections right there. Now I can’t wait to see what she has in store for the rest of the characters for the remainder of this arc.

Hurray, Satoko is a free agent now! Her uncle must be deaf or something. I mean, he was right next to her while she was on the phone and he still couldn’t hear. I thought it was pretty nice of Ooishi and the police to help out Kei and the others. That’s probably one of the few good deeds he’s done. And now we’re all one big happy family just in time for Watanagashi, or are we? It’s a shame Rika can’t stop worrying just yet, there’s still the fact that has to save Tomitake and Takano.

But despite Rika informing Ooishi about the two, the expected couldn’t be prevented by… Takano?! (plot twist) Well there we go… she was in it the whole time and nobody saw it (well except for the viewers). After giving Tomitake his medicine, it looks like the massacre will come along faster than planned. Takano the mastermind orchestrated Tomitake’s death and her own fake burnt body as well. Fate strikes back. Ouch. Gotta say though, Takano’s seiyuu did a freakin’ good job playing devil’s advocate. Such a great character, but Oyashiro-sama, why does she have to do this?
