Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* [[Cargo Ship]]: Chie x Curry, Rena x Kenta-kun.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Teppei Houjo for his abuse of Satako and Satoshi, the main man of the [[Orphanage of Fear]] for what he and his staff did to Takano and her friends, and Nomura for mostly [[Manipulative Bastard|tricked Takano into helping her]] and also helping to indirectly cause the GHD, all to close up a company.

** {{spoiler|Miyo Takano}} herself ends up bordering on this trope's territory since she murders about 2,000 of her own villagers with the Hinamwizawa Syndrome and kills Rika and her friends in The Massacre Chapter. It's also shown that she inserted her own boyfriend with the Syndrome, killed him, and faked her own death in the other worlds, not to mention that she murdered Rika's parents because they would intervene in her plans. She also has a weird obsession with torture weapons and almost attempted to perform a live vivisection on Satako. Of course, this was all just mostly as a result of what Tokyo, Nomura, and the orphanage leader did to her - see above. But given the nature of the series, she's actually not firmly in the trope since {{spoiler|she suffers from mental illness as well}}, and a last minute [[Heel Face Turn]] and possible recovery isn't beyond her.

* [[Crack Pairing]]: In Hirukowashi-hen Rena/Tomitake, [[Les Yay|Takano/Rena]], Ooishi/Rena (OVA Only), Irie/Rena (Game Only).

* [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Awesome|Crowning Moment Of Awesome]] - Many times, especially during the answer arcs.

Line 20:

Line 21:

** To be honest, she's a pretty crucial role in almost all the arcs/chapters. She's also the mascot of the series.

** Not to mention that the arc where she is the central character is the turning point of the series.

** Shion gets secondary notoriety to Rena due to her own bouts of equally scary psychotic laughter.

** If you're talking about Rika as the main character than Rika is pretty damn popular too. If you're talking about Keiichi then its to be expected, he's not a female character after all.

** Tomitake is one as well.

* [[Epileptic Trees]] - If we go by Saikoroshi-hen's continuity (in ''Rei''), Rika mutters to Hanyuu at one point that {{spoiler|she should return to being Rika Furude and stop being the witch [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Bernkastel]]}}.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler|Miyo Takano}}

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler|Miyo Takano}}. All the girls who go crazy might also count if one wants to see them as "evil."

* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]] - "Stick by your friends, even if they've brutally murdered some adults and are now attempting to blow up the school."

** A more positive example that you don't see stated outright is that while you should certainly stick with your friends, it's okay to keep things from them that they don't need to know. Otherwise no one would be friends because they couldn't bear to tell others about the mistakes they've made.

Line 37:

Line 39:

* [[Les Yay]]: Several pieces of official art. Usually revolving around Mion & Shion (first season) or Satoko & Rika (sometimes with Hanyuu; second season). Also behaviors throughout the series.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Miyo Takano}}

** {{spoiler|Shion}} also has shades of this in her own arc.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Their laughs.

** On Hanyuu in the last arc: Why can't anyone her horns?
