Ep. 19: Hanyuu revela seu passado como deusa para Rika em Hinamizawa

19

Hanyuu is introduced into the world as a transfer student to the Hinamizawa school. One day Hanyuu recalls Takano's face when she meets her face-to-face, and recalls that Takano and the Yamainu are the culprits behind the eventual downfall of Hinamizawa. Hanyuu tells this to Rika, who has seemingly lost her memories from Minagoroshi-hen. Hanyuu also discloses her own backstory as a former god of the local land. Akasaka-san returns to Hinamizawa to investigate Rika's clairvoyance and her connection to Oyashiro-sama's curse, and recruits Ooishi along the way. Dr. Irie discloses "Emergency Manual #34" to Rika, which states that the sudden death of the "Queen Carrier" (Rika) will lead to the gassing of Hinamizawa citizens before they can quickly succumb to the symptoms of Hinamizawa Syndrome en masse. Rika tries to decode the reason why Takano would try to kill her, and recruits the help of her friends by analogizing her situation to the plot of a manga she is writing. Mion suggests that opposing factions of a secret society may be contending for power. Meanwhile Takagi, the woman who promised to help Takano, tells Takano that a new research facility will be headed by her (Takano), and reveals her plan to defeat Koizumi's faction in Tokyo.
