In addition to the original series, new story arcs were created in manga form and in video games for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS, in order to expand the story.

"When the Cicadas Cry") is a Japanese murder mystery dōjin soft visual novel series produced by 07th Expansion that comprises the first two entries of the When They Cry franchise. Like the fragment she made up by lying to Ooishi about what happened at her house, except in that one Keiichi was triumphant over Teppei.Higurashi When They Cry ( Japanese: ひぐらしのなく頃に, Hepburn: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, lit. (Also interesting that Teppei’s character story in Mei is the Curse Revealing arc as Witch!Satoko had wanted it to play out, with the savagery of the “Wolf” in Teppei not being curbed by the more caring “Papa” instincts as he succumbs to paranoid madness and murders Keiichi and a whole bunch of police officers too. That aligns perfectly with the character we know and loathe, so I hope Tomato is able to work some of that into Meguri when Teppei’s time comes. ![]() Some people on the Reddit felt like this backstory was contradictory to the VNs but it’s really not Teppei was a young man with self worth issues, an explosive temper, and poor education who charted his adult life down a path that entrenched him into the world of crime, where you can’t ever fully trust anyone and temptation to relish cruelty, think only in costs and benefits to your own self interest, and be your worst self is all-consuming. Also, I knew it on him not wanting to raise his niece and nephew but not only doing so at first for the money, but letting his wife control most of the abusive family dynamic so he’d only put in a minimum effort, so he got more wantonly violent after Tamae was killed and Satoshi (who’d killed her) had gone missing.ĭon’t really buy the “he was essentially betrayed by people who used to be on his side” part - I think that’s a case of him percieving betrayal when in reality it was his own bad behavior and choices that drove those people away. The Stanley and Stanford-esque “admired his brother but could never match up to him” is there (like he was jealous of him over even stuff like who he married), and how he became a man of violence and control through fear because he was a small, scared, weak little man who wanted to make himself feel big, bold, and tough, and convey that image to others in his shit-tastic life. Speaking of Teppei, apparently Higurashi Mei has become the first official product to give us details on his backstory. ![]()
