The release timetable of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Sotsu was never clearly released in the public domain. As a result, many fans were left with endless questions about to end of the show. Last week, the finale episode of the anime series was released. However, fans are still looking forward to the 16th edition. So, will Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Sotsu Episode 16 release? What are the chances of getting a second season? Here is all you need to know about the release.
In the forthcoming plot, Rika will bid farewell to all her friends. The jump cut in the previous episode suggested that Rika had cleared the entrance exam of St. Lucia Academy. Now, she will be entering a new life. However, Satoko has still not come out of her witch zone. As a result, she might trouble the latter even when she is in a new place.
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Sotsu Episode 16: Plot Details
The upcoming episode of When They Cry will deal with the aftermath of Rika’s departure. As the girl leaves for a new life, her friends continue to study at the old academy. Now that Rika is going to the academy, her arc with Satoko will come to a pause for a while. As a result, the show will make room to explore more about the characters of Hanyuu and Eua. The last season did not dissect the true intentions and past lives of the two characters.
Thus, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Sotsu Episode 16 will surely look into this arc. Moreover, fans can also expect to get glimpses of Rika’s life at the new school. She had been passionate about her career ever since the beginning of the series. Thus, getting to her dream academy is a big achievement for her. Besides, the witch form of Satoko might return anytime at this point. Thus, she can trouble Rika even while she is away from her.
Previous Episode Recap!
In the last episode of Season 1 of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Sotsu, Hanyuu and Eua were stuck in Hinamizawa. Hanyuu kept saying that some miracle would save them from the tragedy. This irritated Eua, and she punched the latter. Here, Rika decided to throw the Onigiri no Ryuuou sword in the water as it was to root cause of all the troubles. Later, the sword went within the river and emerged again from the sky. As it fell into Hanyuu’s hands, she immediately attacked Eua with it. Due to the attack, Eua shrunk in size.
Here, Rika and Satoko continued to fight. Satoko insisted Rika stay at the Hinamizawa and not leave the academy. She said that she had no interest in prepping for admission in St. Lucia. However, Rika argues that Satoko also joined her at the academy. Later, they all were rescued from the Hinamizawa and taken back home. The episode ended at the train station where Rika was leaving for St. Lucia. She promised Satoko that she would keep meeting him.
