    Following Arc Saikoroshi-hen

    Matsuribayashi-hen (祭し編, Festival Accompanying Chapter) is the answer arc for the entire series of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. The game was released on August 13, 2006 as the final arc in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai series. It is mostly told from the viewpoint of Furude Rika, as well as her other friends. Matsuribayashi-hen follows Minagoroshi-hen and precedes Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, beginning with Saikoroshi-hen. The story resolves the remaining questions, and because of the renewed determination of Furude Hanyū at the end of Minagoroshi-hen, she is now a physical character in this world. All the characters gather together in order to defeat the villain and smash the fates of June 1983.

    Anime Episodes[]

    Disappearances and Deaths[]

    All deaths and disappearances are listed only as they are told in Matsuribayashi-hen. Spoilers are only for the individual arc, not the overall series. The following deaths are presumed to have occurred in all the previous worlds as well.

    Deaths[]

    Question Arcs[]

    Matsuribayashi-hen effectively answers a majority of the questions left open such as what has happened with Hōjō Satoshi.

    Secret Ending[]

    If the game was beaten once, one can reach a secret ending by unlocking piece #52. For this, one must again go to the chapter where the pieces are connected with each other (e.g. by using Scenario jump to section Connecting pieces) and view them in the following order (i.e. first selecting the top left scene of screen 2, then the top second left scene of screen 3, etc.):

    Screen 1:

    21  23  29  13
    11  19  26  34
    

    Screen 2:

     3   8  24   7
    10  22  27  33
    

    Screen 3:

     6   5  14  37
    39  25   4  12
    

    Screen 4:

    35   1   9  20
    17  15  32  31
    

    Screen 5:

    38  36  28  40
    30  18  16   2
    

    Screen 6:

    42  41  48  43
    44  45  46  47
    

    Screen 7:

    49  50  51  52
    

    In this ending, the conditions for the rise of the villain are eliminated, thus preventing the events of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni from unfolding. This secret ending is shown at the end of the last episode of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, with Frederica Bernkastel appearing to Tanashi Miyoko and offering her a choice between life and death.


    Everyone has a right to pursue a happy life.
    The difficult part is to be given that right.




    Everyone has a right to pursue a happy life.
    The difficult part is to fulfill that right.




    I too have a right to pursue a happy life.
    The difficult part is to work out a compromise for that right.

    Frederica Bernkastel
