Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Hot -Blooded]]

* [[Hot -Blooded]]: She defiantly shows this, sometimes to the degree of Keiichi, whenever she snaps out of her calmness.

* [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: ''Especially'' in the first ''Higurashi: Rei'' episode.

* {{spoiler|[[Self -Made Orphan]]}}: An accidental, tragic example.

* {{spoiler|[[Out of Time, Out of Mind]]:}} Averted, though she puts on an act so as not to freak people out.

** The "nipa~" could actually be {{spoiler|foreshadowing of somesort. Turns out, "nipa~", as well as being the Japanese onomatopoeia for "smiling", is also the name of [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henipavirus |a virus that causes neurological failure and death in humans.]] }}

* {{spoiler|[[GodsGod's Hands Are Tied]]}}: In fact, she even goes so far as to describe herself as "{{spoiler|a powerless god}}".

* {{spoiler|[[Self -Made Orphan]]: As part of the deal to allow her people to live in Hinamizawa, she allowed herself to be set up as a scapegoat and killed by her daughter via ritual butchering. As her daughter was also the daughter of one of the village priests, this brought unity to the two factions.}}

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: [[Subverted]], as the games reveal that [[The Not -Secret|everyone did notice her horns]] but avoided mentioning them because they either were [[Ignore the Disability|too polite]], [[Freaky Is Cool|they liked them]] or they thought they were some kind of accessory. It was the [[Big Bad]] crudely pointing them out that jogged her and Rika's memory. Interestingly, {{spoiler|she had them even when she was a human, hinted to be due to a recessive genetic defect in the Furude family line. They are the reason she was declared a demon and willingly sacrificed}}. [[Adaptation Explanation Extrication|None of this is mentioned in the anime]].

* [[Cross -Dressing Voices]]

* {{spoiler|[[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Lampshaded in a serious manner. She keeps sending in the Yamainu to attack an entrenched enemy on their territory no matter how many casualties they take nor how demoralized they are. Any sensible commander would have done a tactical retreat to regroup at the very least.}}

* [[Hello, Nurse!]]

* {{spoiler|[[WomaninWoman in Black]]: In Minagoroshi-hen, right before she kills Keiichi and the others one by one until she sacrifices Rika.}}

'''Kyousuke Irie''' is the head doctor of the village clinic. Initially interesting in being a doctor just for the money, he became devoted to the field of psychosurgery after a head injury changed his father's personality. Despite his young age and the fact that he has a severe maid fetish, he is highly respected in the community. He cheerfully makes house calls and seems to truly care about everyone's health. He has (half-jokingly) admitted that [[The Jail BaitJailbait Wait|he wishes to marry Satoko when she is older]], but is not above chasing after Rika when she is wearing one of the uniforms from the restaurant ''Angel Mort''. In addition, he is the manager of the village's baseball little league team, the Hinamizawa Fighters. {{spoiler|It is later revealed that he works under Miyo, where he is trying to find a cure for Hinamizawa Syndrome while not knowing of his employer's true desires}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh -Hour Ranger]]: In the Festival Music Arc}}

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Major hint that there's something not right about her.

* {{spoiler|[[Self -Made Orphan]]}}

* [[Shout -Out]]: In the PSP game Higurashi Day Break, her charge move looks alot like what Sekai does to Makoto in the finale of the [[School Days (Visual Novel)|School Days]] anime.

* {{spoiler|[[Trauma -Induced Amnesia]]}}: {{spoiler|complete with [[Fake Memories]]}}

* [[Dead MansMan's Chest]]: {{spoiler|His body is found shoved in a closet under some sheets}}.
