    • These are the only ones strictly necessary to the story, and exist in a bunch of different formats. The VNs are the original and most complete/detailed version, the manga is less of a time investment while still being almost as good, the anime is... passable but not ideal, and the rest are either incom…

Hou+ music replacements

Question Arc music | Answer Arc music | Rei music | Hou+ music


  • 1 Hinamizawa Teiryuujo
  • 2 Higurashi Outbreak
  • 3 Kamikashimashi-hen
  • 4 Mehagashi-hen
  • 5 Other
  • 6 Notes







  • Unlike previous Higurashi instalments, where the music room only included tracks used elsewhere within that instalment, the Hou 2014 music room includes almost every track from the Question and Answer Arcs, omitting only LOOP131, 平原を行く, 狂気 and 伝えたいこと. (However, it does not include the U2 Akiyama tracks from Rei and the 2006 demo.) It also includes the following new tracks:
    • あの日へ [To That Day / Ano Hi e, higurashi_hou.mpg, referred to as "あの日へ" on Silver Empireo]
    • とおせなきや [Distant Rapids, No Night / Toosenakiya, toosenakiya.ogg, referred to as "遠瀬無夜 -とおせなきや-" on Lycoris]

Rei music replacements

Question Arc music | Answer Arc music | Rei music | Hou+ music


  • 1 Saikoroshi-hen
  • 2 Hirukowashi-hen
  • 3 Batsukoishi-hen
  • 4 Other
  • 5 Notes






  • The Hou+ release of Rei replaces パリの午後, Digital Network and Baby's Walk with the corresponding songs from the Question Arc table, namely スクールモードでいこう, spinning seesaw and にぱ~☆ respectively. The Steam release makes the same changes as Hou+, including replacing パリの午後 with スクールモードでいこう rather than 風車小屋の少年, the track used in previous Steam arcs.
  • While most of Rei's PC soundtrack comes from the Question and Answer Arcs, Hirukowashi-hen mostly uses tracks from the Higurashi Daybreak OST by U2 Akiyama. These include three of the four tracks made for the 2006 Onikakushi-hen demo (kneecap, bright sun and にぱ~☆) and the following tracks from Daybreak i…

Answer Arc music replacements

Question Arc music | Answer Arc music | Rei music | Hou+ music



Notes:

  • The names and filenames in the "original" column are taken from the 2006 Matsuribayashi-hen music room and filesystem (all translations are my own). Due to engine limitations in the original game, half-width spaces did not render correctly unless special code was used, so most half-width spaces were replaced with underscores in the music room. For the purposes of this table, all underscores have been reverted to spaces, and any spaces included in the code but not displayed in the music room have been re-added. Tracks with English/romaji names are sometimes formatted differently in album releases or console ports - for instance, different capitalisation, half-width vs full-…

Archive Blog

For the sake of making it easier for people in the future to find and research all of this (and because Discord will inevitably die), this blog will be keeping track of all the websites, merch/books, and other weird and useful things I've found over the years.

Last updated: //


07th Calendar: a calendar keeping track of almost everything 07th related, from fan events and character birthdays to releases of individual manga chapters in various magazines. Unfortunately the earliest documentation is February 2008, so info regarding much of the Higurashi manga's serialization is not present.

Higurashi Kizuna website (archive): The website for Higurashi Kizuna. Unfortunately it seemed to rely almost entirely on Flash, which doesn't seem to work righ…

Higurashi When They Cry Series Guide

Interested in the Higurashi series but overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content? Then this guide is for you!

There are multiple versions and adaptations for Higurashi's original story, however I believe the original visual novel is the best version since it will offer the most in character development and plot details, with the manga adaptation a close second. If you choose to experience the visual novel version, consider downloading 07th Mod for enhanced art and voice acting from the console versions.

For the sake of brevity, only Higurashi content that is available in English, whether officially or fan-translated, will be featured in this list.

Funny Spoiler-free Umineko Saku thoughts and opinions

  • 1 Introduction
  • 2 New story (+Our Confession)
  • 3 Opening 
  • 4 Characters
    • 4.1 Virgilius
    • 4.2 Piece
    • 4.3 The End


Hi, it's me. I edited most of the stuff on Piece and Virgilius .

So, this is kind of a review of Umineko Saku .



Last Note is a fun story, which includes a new character, Piece. The main focus of the game is the true identity of Piece. 

The game had a pretty surprising twist, and OH MY GOD that after-credit scene was perfecto!

But it kinda feels a bit fan-servicy in one way or another, such as Virgilius appearing and Piece's aheago face, amirite?

 While I do like the concept it still has a couple tiny flaws. Last Note Rating: 8.5/10




Our Confession is Our Confession but in VN format.



10/10 Gold bars, one of the Top 5 07th expansion openings.



I do like Virgilius…

Which witch would you bewitch?

WHICH WITCH would you BEWITCH?

If on someone I could CAST, i'd choose from Umineko CAST, it would be BernKASTel who I would CAST, despite being with her would leave many parts of my body in a CAST.

I analysed very FAST, my knowledge about the PAST, and while choices are VAST, choosing BrnKASTel is a MUST.

She hold incredible POWER, which can destroy any TOWER, beware her cat-ROAR.

This power is what gives me such a LUST, even thought I know I can't TRUST. She moves like a GUST. Everything she walks PAST by she could turn in DUST.

The "Natsuhi Killed Everyone" Theory

This is a little theory about Natsuhi killing everyone.



  • 1 Opening Statement
  • 2 Accomplices
  • 3 Eva's Theory
  • 4 First Twilight
  • 5 Second Twilight


In Legend of The Golden Witch, Natsuhi is always stood out to me as a suspect. Here is my theory on the How-Dunnit, Why-Dunnit, and Natsuhi's veeeeeeery elaborate plan.


My theory states that Natsuhi employed various accomplices, with only her main accomplice, Maria, aware of the other accomplices' identities.


I speculate that Eva, who, along with Battler, George, Hideyoshi, Kinzo, and those who died at the first twilight (sans Krauss), were NOT Natsuhi's acclompices.

In the first game, Eva came up with a theory that Natsuhi killed Kinzo when she talked to him. I speculate that Natsuhi indeed killed him by gouging hi…

The Solution

Each arc is individually solvable. I'm not going to reveal my solutions for those here. But as with Higurashi, there is a culprit to all arcs, but this is going to be less satisfying to most people. There isn't one true culprit, like Van Dine said, tellingly without the Red Text to support him.

Whodunnit was all of them. Every single child of Kinzo, when presented with the gold and the bomb, chose to blow up their siblings and run with what they could take away. In every case, the monetary value was less important than destroying their brothers and sisters. As Van Dine said, it's always about the heart. Beatrice may have been the one to present those options, but she isn't the one who selected one. I believe she had a good hunch what their …

Asumu Ushiromiya - Page Gone

Asumu Ushiromiya's page consists of a blank page, and nothing else. I looked into the history logs, ends up an anonymous account came in, and made it so that the edit could not be unedited by anyone other then a mod (?), this may or may not be the case, but regardless, I can not fix the page as a driveby editor.

Just noticed this, would like to see it addressed and was questioning why it was taken down and if the reasons for taking it down are legitimate. 

Thank you.

Ryukishi07 @ Anime Central 2015


Hello, some of you may know me from the interview I conducted with Ryukishi07 back in January of this year, and if you don't, here is a link. Among others things, in that interview R07 revealed that the Umineko manga is his final answer to story's mystery, comparing the adaption to a period meant to end the sentence that is world of Umineko.

At Acen 2015, a convention in Chicago, Illinois, I was able to interview him again. This time in person! By some miracle -thank you Bern!- I was the only journalist in the room at the time so the interview was more or less one-on-one. Free to ask as many questions as I wanted, I took the time to pick the creator of Umineko's brain over several topics that I felt were either important, or simply things I…

So, let me get this straight.....

Hello,

I've only played the first episode (Legend of the Golden Witch), and unfortunetly I've spoiled myself a litte since then

But I've came across something I read on the wikia: The solution isn't given in the last episode?

There is no epic battle of wits between Battler and Beatrice where Battler exposes all the tricks behind the murders and Beatrice finaly surrenders to his detective skills? Humiliating her by telling how she commited those locked rooms murders and telling that he answer the truth of the riddle?

As a big fan mystery games like Ace Attorney or Danganronpa, I would be dissapointed if that's the case... :/

I know the solution is given on the wikia and that the author wanted the reader the solve the mysteries himself, but I wan…

Turn of the Golden Witch~ My theory and explanation

TURN ON THE GOLDEN WITCH

Red Statements (that actually matter):

  • Regardless of whether they were living or dead, the six people definitely entered through the door (Refers to the six murders in the chapel.)
  • Only one key to the chapel exists
  • It is impossible to unlock the lock to the chapel without the chapel's key
  • When the door to the chapel is locked, it prevents any and all methods of entry or exit
  • Six people definitely entered through 'this front door'
  • This morning, Rosa definitely took an envelope out of Maria's handbag, and thereby obtained the genuine key to the chapel (This morning refers to the morning of the second day.)
  • The key to the chapel truly was the object inside the envelope I gave Maria
  • The letter that I handed over to Maria and the …

Legend of the Golden Witch~ My Explanation

EPISODE ONE: LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN WITCH

*NO RED STATEMENTS WERE MADE DURING THIS EPISODE

Who done it: Kanon/Shannon

Why done it: To get revenge against Battler about his broken promise that was made six years ago.

How done it:

First twilight
"Six corpses lie in the tool shed. Their faces were torn off"
Victims:
Krauss
Rudolf
Rosa
Kyrie
'Shannon'
Ghoda
"

Explanation: Hideyoshi lied about Shannon being dead, after all Kanon was standing right next to him. The rest of the corpses inside the shed are dead. Shannon's corpse was a fake.

Second Twilight
"Eva was found on the bed of a guest bedroom inside the mansion, with a demon stake rammed into her forehead. Hideyoshi was found in the bathroom in the same room Eva was found in. Like Eva, his forehead was also ram…

Curious about Umineko's first 4 episodes

Hello, i am not sure if i am supposed to put this under something but i was wondering if the mystery of umineko, (more importantly what happened at rokkenjima and who the culprit is) could be solved just by reading the first four episodes

If this is true then I would really like to give this a try before reading the answer arcs that come afterward.

Thanks

Bernkastel's weapon, the black Scythe

Recently, I'm doing a Bernkastel Cosplay and I'd like to add her weapon because I've got an appearance in a video about Action/Fighting where I need her weapon. I have no problems in making a weapon.


But there is one thing. I've never ever heart of her scythe ever before! I've only seen it on fanarts and for a good-looking cosplay I'd really like to built it near the original one. The wikia here only says: 'Her weapon is a long black scythe, which separates miracles from reality.' But there isn't written wheter the weapon does appear in the Anime/Novel/somewhere official or not. It only tells us about the weapon itself, but I'd like to hear something about an OFFICIAL appearance because I need to make it real close to the Anime/Novel/etc.

Livening-Up

Is anyone opposed to me contacting Central to get help with "livening-up" this Wiki?

What I mean by that is a visual overhaul; a better background, a logo, reorganization of the Main Page, and all that good stuff.

I will probably ask them to model our Main Page after the Pandora Hearts Wiki's.


I'll probably create a Manual of Style that outlines the way the articles should be formatted, the language style, spoilers, and all of that good stuff.

If there are any objections, questions, or suggestions (bonus point: it all rhymed), say so in the comments.

That title is way to long.

Anyway, I have no idea what a wikia blog is, and it looked like something I could BLOG about. So here I go~

OMG OMG OMG OMG UMINEKO 2D FIGHTING GAME?!?!? MY PRAYERS FOR A GOOD UMINEKO GAME HAS BEEN ANSWERED!!!!

I HOPE ZUN IS HELPING. BECAUSE I HEARD A LONG TIME AGO THAT ZUN AND RYUKISHI ARE BEST FRIENDS SO THAT'S WHY JESSICA MADE THAT REFERENCE TO TOUHOU.

YAY!!! I'M GOING TO SOMEHOW BUY IT! (Because since they're selling it at C79 AND I DON'T LIVE IN JAPAN. D: *not necessarily saying that's a bad thing XD*) NO MATTER HOW WORTHLESS IT MIGHT BE TO OTHER PEOPLE.

AND I MADE A WIKIA PAGE FOR IT, SINCE NO ONE ELSE DID WHEN I LOOKED IT UP. :P

Are you guys moving?

Alot of people are upset over the new Wiki skin. Are you guys moving too? Here's why we at Sonic Fanon are moving:

  1. Smaller article space. About half as much as current articles.
  2. Confusing setup.
  3. Removal of the Shoutbox.
