    Minagoroshi-hen (皆殺し編, Massacre Chapter), is the answer arc for Tatarigoroshi-hen in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. The game was released on December 30, 2005 as the third in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai series. It is mostly told from the viewpoint of Furude Rika, and is the penultimate arc in the series. Minagoroshi-hen follows Tsumihoroboshi-hen (Yakusamashi-hen in the anime) and precedes Matsuribayashi-hen. The story answers more questions than just those in Tatarigoroshi-hen, and thanks to the determination of Maebara Keiichi saves Hōjō Satoko from her fate in that arc. It is the first arc in which the varied fates of June 1983 are changed, and in which the true murderer behind the plot is revealed.

    Question ArcEdit

    See Tatarigoroshi-hen.

    I wanted to know the world that was outside of the well.
    So I tried hard to get out from the bottom of the well.


    I wanted to know the world that was outside of the well.
    So I climbed up numerous of times despite falling down over and over again.


    But then I realized it.
    The higher and higher I climb, the pain increases when I fall down again.


    When my interest in the world outside of the well began to equal the amount of pain,
    That was when I finally realized the meaning of the story to Der Froschkönig.
