| aw man what a bloody great episode, although i dont see why she just couldn't tell her father that the pink haired lady was a bitch |
| Yo |
| Never have I been so satisfied with a murder ,Rina and her co worker deserved everything they got! not to forget that Rena killed Rina in self defense , she really isn't the bad one here I'd love to have friends like them, (although that makes me seem as if I want accomplices to aid me in criminal offenses which isn't the case xD or is it? o.O) Hopefully none of them betrays Rena which I doubt will happen Looks like the detective is back again |
count_demonicus6 said: Never have I been so satisfied with a murder ,Rina and her co worker deserved everything they got! not to forget that Rena killed Rina in self defense , she really isn't the bad one here Pretty much, I was rooting for Rena the whole time. It was much more justifiable than Shion in the previous arc, not saying murder is justifiable though. Seriously, I don't understand what's up with Oiishi hate here, there are even people who want him to die a slow painful death? What he did wrong actually, up until this point? Nothing. He was just doing what he should as a cop, so far anyway, I can't vouch for his future actions. The hate he receives is kind of mind boggling. |

| I am slightly more convinced that this arc will connect to the third one. Maybe they really forgot about that day, and in some mystical or paranoical ways Satoko's uncle is still there for them. So when Keiichi killed again the Uncle, it was just an hallucination or stuff like that, I don't know how it will be explained, but the path might be that. But Rena's acting are more justificable than Shion's, as it been already said. And Keiichi should learn from Rena how to kill someone. The murders were quite brutal, this show deepens so good the ill human mind, I lve it. |
| Well, here we go again. Nice to see Rena's weapon of choice in action. Killing Rina was in self-defence, she should have gone with that and leave Hojo alone. But I guess after seeing him beating up her dad she just couldn't help it. I don't know if I could be friends with someone who not only just killed someone, but also had no problem cutting the body in parts like it's your everyday job. It shows a little the madness of Rena. I still think there would have been an better non-killing solution to her misery, but I have to admit, it's easier to feel for Rena here than for Shion in the last arc. |
| that's some great friendship they have |
| Brutal and awesome :) |
| 1. Rena is BEST GIRL. 2. Awsome "rika" killing scene. 3. What a beautiful friendship. 4. Ooshi is a stalker of the highest caliber. |

| What are you guys, idiots? This episode was rushed, the writers clearly didn't know how to handle the Rena character so they just swept the whole event under the rug, and don't anybody say it's meant to be like that. |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| This was the second murder I actually supported. the first being satokos uncle. is Oishi a fucking god? |
| Yup Rena killed those two , it was forshadowed to hell out of already from the previous episode so can't say I didn't expect it. Doesn't nessesarily seem she went crazy like Mion (or was that Shion?) in the last arc, well at least not yet anyway. Well when that scubag lady was talking to her, she DID try to kill Rena before Rena did anything, so I suppose you could say that's self defense. But Rena strait up murdered that other dude though, guess she snapped after seeing her dad getting abused by him. One thing I actually like quite a bit from this episode is how supportive her friends were of her in this episode.. I think normally you'd have at least 1 or 2 of your group of friends would have ratted you out anyway (even if they say they would not to your face) because they feel to need to inform police two people were killed and they have a strong sense of justice that outweighs their notion of friendship in their mind. Haha of course Oishi will get on that case, especially considering it seemed like everyone was trying to bury it back in the depths of their mind, that man would be the one to dig stuff up based on his actions from previous arcs so far. |
 |
| Good on Rena dealing with that trash. How in the hell does Oishi always get wind of these deaths so fast and always knows who commits them? This bro is shady. |
 |
| WOW RENA IS SO FUCKING SAVAGE! m/ Higurashi continues to teach children that if you are murderer, you can just ask for forgiveness from your buddies then everyone will be happy. :) THAT OISHI ENTRANCE! SOME SERIOUS SHIT'S GONNA GO DOWN NEXT EPISODE! 5/5 |

| That star on Rina's abdomen. That clears up who the finger-nailed, noseless, leg twisted person with their intestines pulled out at the start of episode 9 was! I thought it was Keiichi from the end of episode 8 though. |
B25Mitch said: Like they say, friends will help you move, real friends will help you move bodies. Lolol It's relieving to see a character actually feeling bad about killing someone for once xD |
 |
| Rewatching this series, I remember how much I fvcking love Ooishi. And Rena too. lol |
Cero said: I like the part where Rena beats the shit out of Rika. '3' truuu |
| Dump the bodies in a hole! Rena-chan's lonely tears are washed away by the powerful bonds of friendship! |
| I'm surprised they died so early, since this was the final ep i thought they'd be reserved for the final ep. Oishi is back and i'm guessing Satoko doesn't realize that one of the corpses is her uncles, should be an explosive conclusion. |

| Whelp they definitely toned down the censorship for this one, those were some pretty gruesome deaths. That hot purple haired chick really got fucked up rofl, the close up of her after she got her face smashed in was great. The Uncle's splitting headache was also pretty brutal. I was a little worried how they were gonna handle Rena killing those two, since shes half their size and probably has never been in a fight in her entire life. Its nice to see they did it in a believable way. The whole *friendship* thing was pretty corny though. Lets be honest here, no friends, idc how *great* they are, would act like that in such a situation. *We totally accept you, even though you just hacked two people up into tiny pieces and tried stuffing them into a fridge. Hell we'll even help you bury the bodies, making us just as much a part of this as you are now.* Riiiiiiighhhttt lol. Then again it was Keiichi who initiated it with his little speech. This is the guy who had no problem trusting and walking right up to someone who had just been trying to kill him earlier that day lol. I think the rest just followed suit because they really had no clue what to do lmao. I saw Ooishi coming a mile way at the end there though, this dude always knows what's going on it seems. I'm assuming hes gonna get one of Rena's oh so great *friends* to spill the beans, which in turn will cause her to go all psycho again. |

| True friends... O__O next episode: Ughh why must Ooishi be in every arc |
| Damn Rena, nice. And ugh, Oishi again. I liked him in the first arc or two, but haven't since then. As one of the commenter's for this episode said: "Oishi always knows every fucking crime that anyone does. He could perfectly have the Mirai Nikki, and probably was the one who taught L about being detective." |
| Wtf, in that place "everything" is solved with murders XD 5/5 |
 |
| Rena did it again! OOishi apppeared |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Re-watching it after a long ass time, but she killed teppei hojo, who's satoko's abusive uncle. Why is satoko taking this so calmly? Or do they not know WHO she killed? |
| Oops, here comes Oishi |
 |
| I guess the reason Rena didn't tell Keiichi is because he is a loser MC. But otherwise nice episode. And Ooishi at the end. I was quite satisfied when Rena killed those bastards. Poor Rena. jdimaria3 said: Damn Rena, nice. And ugh, Oishi again. I liked him in the first arc or two, but haven't since then. As one of the commenter's for this episode said: "Oishi always knows every fucking crime that anyone does.

But your comment was great at summarizing all his plot holes. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| It may not have been morally correct to kill those two but damn did I cheer when Rena killed them. True friendship right there. It makes me ponder though, what would I do if such a situation happened irl? I don't think my best friends or sibling would ever do such a thing but if they did I wonder what I would do. Ooishi is just doing his job but he's an asshole and I'm attached to the main characters so I hope he ends up dead. |
<Insert clever quote> |
| I know killing is really bad but those two deserve it. Plus, Rina is the first one who attempted to kill Rena. I can't believe that the others accepted it and helped Rena to hi de parts of the bodies but I wouldn't blame them because those two bastards were really bad news. |

| Rena is a psycho girl, lol.... why you all like Rena? What do you like from her? |
| Rena finally found her noble phantasm! On a more serious note, I definitely think Rena was justified in killing Rina, since Rina had been trying to kill her. All restrictions are lifted when someone is trying to kill you, especially considering the fact that the hormonal response to live is so powerful. On the other hand, while I definitely think that Satoko's uncle is the type of person that society is better off without, I don't think that mean murdering him is justified in this case. When we is actively abusing Satoko, go for it. When he is acting as a thug, report it to the police and let them deal with it (though it might be said that the best argument against Oishii being a decent person is the fact that these menaces to society are roaming free without the least bit of his attention.) |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| lol does Ooishi have a sixth sense or something xD Now that is REAL friendship. Take that Fairy Tail |
 |
| Dang. Rena beat the shit out of Rina. I'm cringing on the friendship scene, especially on Kei speech The last shot of Oishi-san was damn good. Go Oishi-san! |
 |
| I like Rena alot more now, those 2 deserved to die and I'm glad they did! |
 |
| that bitch getting her head bashed in was one of the most satisfying deaths i’ve seen in an anime. |
 |
| their friendship is so cute and i hope it stays that way!! oishi.. |
| Finally an episode that I can finally accept, what she did was not best choice but its comprehensible by humans. those two bastards definitely deserved death, kinda surprised that Satoko didn't mention that Teppei was her aunts husband. |
| Rena actually got some plus points in my book for slaughtering those two dipshits. I mean it's kinda dangerous to let your friend become a murderer, but as long as she only kills those who deserve it... I wonder if this is actually arc 1 again or something completely different? |
