Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

[Everon]

You forget that certain tidbits from previous arcs trickle into the next. So it probably the same as the last two arcs - the cameraman and "Takano". I wonder if we'll get to find out why Takano made a fake burnt corpse?

Its hard to pin down whats being done by the town to perpetuate this "curse" and whats being done by something more supernatural. In this arc it seems like the supernatural is playing a more predominant role since Satoko's uncle is still alive. Another possibility is Satoko is delusional and everyone is doing a cover up before they punish Keiichi for immitating their demon gods.
