Satokei is Rika approved.

Even though she might have a fleeting crush on savior types like K1 and Akasaka, the ideal kakera for her would probably have K1 protecting her best friend.

Rika is a pretty good friend to Satoko and Keiichi, she probably knows best just how close Keiichi and Satoko get in every fragment they spend some time together and knows firsthand just how far Keiichi is willing to go just to protect her. So without a doubt she knows that Satoko would be safest and happiest with K1, it's only natural though that she would have a crush on him too he is the breaker of fate after all!

No matter how much you cope and seethe, nothing you say will ever erase the fact that in canon Satoko confessed her romantic feelings to Keiichi minutes before her death and has only ever shown romantic interest in Keiichi and Keiichi alone within the VN

>>49918738
I don't know how to tell you this, when she told you she's past you she didn't mean she wants to get romantic with you.

>>49918759
she literally calls him nii-nii the entire time because she's coping with her actual brother being gone. she's in a state of extreme abuse and thinks her protector is about to murder her, and you think this is the perfect time for a romantic confession??? her saying "i loved you" is her having a breakdown because her hero has literally gone insane. it's not "i'm secretly in love with you" it's "i loved you LIKE FAMILY and trusted you and now this is happening??". you have to be so delusional and jump through so many hoops to see it as romantic. it's literally platonic affection and if you see it as anything else you're just a creep or projecting.

>>49918770
>The feelings between those innocent two...That is to say, a closeness that exceeds gender and romantic love
Ryukishi wanted to show that satoko and rika are SO CLOSE that it's past just being a simple romance and them doing it because "they're just in love". however it still includes the romantic love read what he said.

here he says that their genuine feelings are BEYOND just simple romantic love. this however also includes romantic love!

Here he LITERALLY SAYS that it can be considered yuri. what else is there to say? he literally confirms it

their relationship can't be neatly labeled as JUST romantic love. again they are way beyond that, but it still includes romance

It's a mix of it being common practice for trannylators to mostly translate Suki, Daisuki, and simialr to just like for some god awful reason something that's not just a issue in Higurashi but in VN's as a whole and just generally being anti-Satokei by the losers translating it.

But don't worry in Japanese, direct translations, Direct Machine translations, and in older more faithful translations Satoko always has and always will say Love. Also nice to meet you anon I love Satoko x Keiichi as well!

>>49918995

I think another important clue hinting at satoko's true feelings is her embarrassment at keiichi seeing her naked. she clearly understands the gravity of physical intimacy and probably wouldn't react the same way if she merely saw him as a surrogate brother.

that or they're actual teens who haven't lived long enough to experience growing apart. poorly executed as sotsugou was, I still found the premise relatable because I've seen similar social dynamics play out irl. once you graduate school you might still hang out with close buddies from back then, but over time you become more different from each other as everyone does their own thing. you try to keep up the friendship because that's what you're used to, but it only gets more uncomfortable as the gap widens, negative feelings develop (resentment because they've "changed"), and it might even erupt into a falling out. the solution is to be ok with respecting distances, and not "force" the sort of closeness that once was. that's clearly what sotsugou was going for.

im just fucking tired bc no matter how hard i try or look it just seems like satorika as a ship isnt meant to be
genuinely with the interview and all and the countless ways to argue with it and the whole witch thing i genuinely lost hope
originally i just liked it because satoko and rika are cute together and i relate to them and i just really really like yuri stories and sotsugou was just that at the start but theres just so many things wrong with it
im in spaces where people including my friends push it really hard and act like its basically canon so i ended up being like that too and i just wanted to share it here but it just doesnt sit right with me anymore now im just lost
literally anywhere outside of here though everyone im around talks about it so i guess its not really deconfirmed if everyone acts like its canon huh
as long as the vast majority of people like it i guess. that makes it canon in my eyes
however i still really dont get satokei because if satorika is a stretch then satokei is 1000x that

You like it cause it's popular in your friendgroup? You're the most shallow fakefan I've ever seen.

They're not fucking cute together in sotsu. They're cute in original Higurashi that you never bothered to read. They struggle together to live in a cruel world. They cherish the life around them. But in sotsugou Satoko is fuming and jealous. Rika fucking suffers from what Satoko does, she tortures her, she dissects her. You think that's fucking cute you psycho? Rika is pushed to the point of "true" suicide. Satoko pits all their friends against her. She's killed in various brutal ways by the people she trusts. This is all supposedly happening after Matsuribayashi which was supposed to be the miracle that they had won through effort. And then since Ryukishi only gave a barebones outline of a story the shitty writers at Passione filled in the blanks of the ending with "they have a shonen fight then it was all a dream"

You really have rock bottom standards. You are the lowest of the low and don't give a shit about either Rika or Satoko.

This argument, again? Can you guys please just agree to disagree and move on?

I mean, he just wrote a short Higurashi story for a 07th Expansion doujinshi event and if you look at his twitter he's promoting a bunch of Umineko merch, like a music box, due to the theater play. The only thing he ignores is Ciconia.

Are the console arcs canon, on the sense that they are some of the multiple worlds Rika went through (except for Miotsukushi of course), or they aren't canon at all and just some side stuff?

>>49926057
The console team had access to some R07 notes we haven't seen (which is probably why the Deen Yakusamashi also has some scenes from Taraimawashi and Tsukiotoshi just using different characters for the roles).

That said, I don't think R07's later writing has ever referenced any of those arcs directly, but you can see some of the ideas used in them slipping through, like the whole classroom joining the club and Keiichi being the leader that you see in GouSotsu first appear in Miotsukushi. On the other hand, they seem to be confident enough they're valid, and R07 won't just somehow invalidate them, because when they thought R07 might just run all over them, you get them giving explicit "this might not be canon" warnings for Kotohogushi, the arc about Hanyuu's backstory, but nothing like that for any of the other content.

Onisarashi (a R07 written manga) also was originally intended to have a bad ending like seen in Someutsushi, the Console VN adaptation, but that got vetoed by the Square Enix editors. The console arc then expands on Onisarashi and give it a bad ending, while creating an "Answer" version, Kageboshi, that flows differently but in the end lead to the manga's good ending and epilogue.

I seriously don't understand. Unless you're trolling which I'm 50/50 on.
You have to view sotsu through a really tiny lens, close your eyes and ears to not understand how the series fucks with them and destroys their relationship.
Like that time you kept posting that manga page of Satoko touching Rika's face when literally the next page she's fucking brutally murdering her.

File: 1432596147962.jpg (129 KB, 850x863)

129 KB JPG

You're trying to reduce them to simple accessories to each other in your blind stupidity and refusal to read the source.
That's why I posted the chair scene. Rika in Rei, the original Rika is the kind of girl that would bash Satoko's face in if she looked like she was being piloted by someone she didn't know. Let alone possessed by a witch like she is in Sotsu. That kind of aggressiveness, possibly even selfishness is part of what makes her cool. And the heaps of her own body in that picture, that mountain of suffering was built by all kinds of motivations, but mostly simply wanting to live. It's not cause she's some accessory to Satoko.

no i seriously dont understand u
because u keep talking about sotsu and gou like its an entire different franchise
i genuinely dont get u all jokes aside. because when i watched it i didnt have the same sentiment u do apparently. they still felt like satoko and rika to me. it still felt like higurashi to me
which is why ur(?) "lambdarika" also confuses me. sure theres witch elements but its not actually lambda on the screen. its still satoko.
i guess our views are just fundamentally different because u cant bring urself to even think of sotsu and gou as part of higurashi apparently. you dont view satoko and rika from sotsugou as being the same characters. and i do.

and the meguri scene. even if she chokes her, are we rly going to pretend like that entire panel isnt meant to be seen in a romantic light? like. genuinely. it was drawn that way. there was a message being sent. regardless of what happened after. she genuinely has rika pinned down and runs her finger over her lips. but its supposed to be friendship?
yes their relationship is toxic and violent at times. that doesnt mean it cant be romantic. its insanely complex and deep. maybe ur the one with the tiny lens here

Seriously, cope about what? it's happening right there. Featherine is an Umineko character come to transform Satoko into something she is not and should not be.
>yes their relationship is toxic and violent at times. that doesnt mean it cant be romantic. its insanely complex and deep.
It is very not deep. There is nothing deep about jealousy and violence. You go gaga for pretty pictures and you're shallow as a puddle. You want depth in yuri? Look at something like Nanoha. Two episodes of holding hands and bait romance, then dozens upon dozens of pain, torture and torment episodes gets you going, that means you're a damn psycho.
>because u keep talking about sotsu and gou like its an entire different franchise
Because I'm criticizing it? You're so damn shallow you think whether something is "canon or not canon" is the whole depth of criticism you can make of a work.

We know now Square Enix's editors had been asking him for a story with the club all having children for a decade though.

Yeah, he finally decided to go on with it, and even designed the children, but from the start was saying it was just a specific fragment that turned out like that - which I always thought was weird if he had confidence in the concept and wanted to do that story for a long time like he said in an old interview, but the reveal this whole thing was a Square Enix concept and he was just a supervisor explained it all.

I'm pretty sure you do because that's all you care about, and I'm thoroughly convinced at this point you haven't even watched sotsugou let alone the original, let alone read anything because of your inability to talk about anything else and your apparent igonrance at basic sotsu events. I'm sure you've only seen clips like from that youtube account you linked.
>if you ignore all the death in sotsugou they do have cute moments sometimes
That's my point! That's what you've been doing the whole time and have the gall to act high and mighty satokeifag let alone anyone else whose actually read the damn story and knows what the characters are all about. You can't just cover your eyes and close your ears to the bulk of the story.
And yes she is just becoming Lambda, who is a witch that is antithetical to Satoko, for the sake of making it an Umi prequel I see you side stepped that point again.

>>49928860
He outright says it's not yuri, but that you consider it yuri if you cope hard enough. About the romantic thing it's unambiguous, there's no romantic feelings.
About the BD scans they have been posted multiple times on /a/ but they never stopped you from coping so...

The complete opposite. He said "if you consider friendship to be yuri then it's yuri, but to me it's not", which makes sense since romantic feelings have been debunked.

Nice twisted interpretation of my words because you've run out of things to say but still want to be argumentative. YOU are the one ignoring death and torture, you are ignoring the meaning it should have. Violence was never a part of their tender relationship before Satoko got possessed by a witch of obsession. I encourage you to read Higurashi. And read it to the end, where Ryukishi in his prime had choice words about the meaning that taking a life should have, the importance of having motive. The weight that Keiichi felt when he killed Teppei, or the culprit felt when they originally killed Rika over and over for their own end.
I encourage you to think whether it is actually love or really twisted hatred to maim and kill someone over and over, using their friends and making them go insane, sending them through physical, spiritual and psychological hell and if that is something Satoko would do. Because even fucking Takano would not do that. Nobody would. Only a witch.

is the only basis for a romantic relationship a sweet one where nothing happens? this is still a fictional story and higurashi is still supposed to be horror-ish. satoko and rikas relationship is violent sure. does it mean its invalid? no. they still love each other by the end. it might be toxic for a relationship, maybe by ur standards, but its still love.

now that i think about it, its just fucking stupid. this shouldnt even be an argument, because they literally confess their love in the manga lol. >>49922614 as simple as that, you have satoko literally telling rika she loves her. theres nothing to say against this, id love to hear how u somehow try and portray this as platonic when she literally says "i love you". and its not even taken out of context either. sorry

the only times umineko's gotten brought up lately is so someone can complain about uminekofags
all i'm saying

>>49929701
The reddit translation you linked is not the one I posted, I think reddit fried your brain lol

>>49929893
how are you sure your translation is accurate then
raw interview source?

So, do you fags still deny Yasu was a tranny?

>my tl is accurate because it just is and its definitely not biased at all

>>49929901
Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>49929936
>>49922614 starting to sink in?

Asked an LLM to translate the BD interview. I think suicide might be a good option for the yuritranny at this point.

>Just to confirm, but sir, in the relationship between Satoko and Rika, did you consciously incorporate yuri elements?
Ryukishi07: Haha (laughs). No, I didn’t intend to write it as yuri. If I depicted their relationship as romantic love, no matter what emotions I portrayed, it could all be brushed off with “that’s love” or “they should get married,” and that would wrap everything up. To convey the feeling of wanting to be together but being unable to without masking it with the word “love,” they needed to be two people who couldn’t possibly be in a romantic relationship.
>I see!
Ryukishi07: Of course, I’m not saying that same-sex love is forbidden. For the pure feelings between the two… in other words, to have people empathize with an intimacy that transcends gender or romance, a same-sex relationship was better than an opposite-sex one. If you call intimacy that transcends gender “yuri,” then maybe it is yuri, but for me, I wanted to depict a relationship that couldn’t be summed up with a single word like “love” or “yuri.”
>So, because it’s not romance, you could deepen the portrayal of issues like each other’s ways of living and their places in the world.
Ryukishi07: That’s right. When thinking about the future of two people who’ve lived together like family, I wanted to closely examine the differences in their upbringing and personalities, and in that sense, I felt a same-sex relationship allowed for a deeper exploration.
>Thank you. Finally, could you give a word to those looking forward to “Sotsu”?
Ryukishi07: In “Gou,” Rika was depicted as the protagonist, and furthermore, it showed how Satoko came to oppose Rika. “Sotsu” will depict the same game board but with Satoko as the protagonist. In essence, it’s like flipping the board game upside down and starting play from the other side. Even though it’s the same game board, just changing the perspective makes the view so different—you’ll think that for sure. It will reveal what events were happening behind the scenes in the previous stories, so please look forward to it.

Is "sink in" another of your reddit references?

>>49930027
i didnt ask for an llm translation i asked for the raw source??? why are you avoiding that?

>>49930060
Buy the BD sis, I'm not gonna spoonfeed you.

>>49930065
how come you can post an llm translation yet you cant post the actual source which you asked the llm to translate?

Why would I? I obviously want you to buy the BDs.

>>49930077
interview is invalid until you post the source of it i dont know what to tell you

>>49930080
It's canon material of course it's not "valid".
So far we have three translations:
- the true translation
- the reddit translation
- the LLM translation.
And all of them agree that no romantic love can exist between Satoko and Rika.

>>49930091
yet you have yet to show the actual source of it? whos to say its actually accurate?
whats stopping you from doing so? pretty obvious

My decision to make you pay for the BDs you'll slit your wrists with, next question.

>>49930105

absolutely and unarguably canon :)

why does such a massive fan of this relationship not own the BDs in the first place anyway? kinda cringe if you ask me

why did you fold from a single manga panel anyway? kinda cringe if you ask me

>>49930136
who? me? nah that's someone else
i'm a separate dude who keeps coming back to 60 posts on here only to find it's you fags running around in circles again all day, and i find it very funny how for the last few hours your entire argument has been centered around you personally not having the BDs despite how much you jerk the damn thing off

>>49930142
its mostly them just trying to pull out some dumb shit like "its actually lambda all the time" because they cant handle the manga panel where satoko literally tells rika she loves her as it destroys their entire platonic argument

also um excuse me but who tf is buying higurashi bds? who??

well someone who wants to support the creator of the ship they love so much, to start
if you want more of what you like, you should try supporting it once in a while
maybe then ryukishi wouldn't be too busy taking paychecks from konami to actually work on the shit you like

Hi friends! Anyone wants a cock/cumtribute? Just send the pic, 07th related or not!

Do you think sex (coitus) should've been a core aspect of umineko?

>>49929661
how does everyone just gloss over this?
it's literally a witch character larping as satoko
there's no reason to even discuss gou/sotsu because it's barely connected to og higurashi
