Wow, talk about a miracle to surpass all miracles. Everyone remembers a bit of what happened in past arcs, Detective Oiishi is surprisingly friendly, and even Akasaka-san makes an appearance, possibly as Rika’s ally. With so many pieces in play, Rika takes no chances as she races to secure her future.  Only problem is…Hanyuu remains doubtful that they’ll be able to pull it off this time. And if everything is seemingly great this time around, why is this chapter called Minagoroshi hen (The Massacre Chapter)?

Major Differences Between this and Previous Arcs

1) The men in green are allies.

2) Rena, Keiichi, and Shion all remember past events, and have averted the dangers of them.

3) Tomitake and Takano go into the warehouse before the night of Wataganashi festival, not during it.

4) Takano and Oiishi are not their usual selves?

Questions:

1) Why is it ok for Takano and Tomitake to enter the warehouse before Wataganashi, rather than on the night of?

2) What triggers Oyashiro sama-curse?
