The REAL Origin Story of Higurashi! - Hanyuu's Backstory: The Ultimate Higurashi Timeline

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni's (Higurashi: When They Cry) deity, Oyashiro-sama, that the villagers in Hinamizawa worship seems to have a long history. However, this history might go back much farther than anyone might have anticipated - maybe even out of this world. Join me today as we go through the backstory of our favorite creampuff enjoyer, Hanyuu Furude, and find out how she became the revered god she is in a forgotten arc known as Kotohogushi-hen.

Welcome to a brand new series called the "Ultimate Higurashi Timeline," where once a month I will be going through every arc in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni catalogue. Whether the arc belongs to a console, or manga, or visual novel, or its anime only; I will be going through ALL of them, and deciding if they are either canon or non-canon by putting them into one, coherent timeline. The purpose of this series is to finally end any and all misinformation for the series by making it all readily available.

Here is a link to the Higurashi abridge from Studio Weeb 07 that I mentioned in the video:

A huge thanks to Lambdadelto, for having uploaded all of Kotohogushi-hen to YouTube. Without their kind act of finding and making the story widely avaiable, this video would have never been possible.

A special thanks to my friend Ryan for always reviewing the stuff I throw out and script, without him most of this videos would not exist. I'd also like to thank Sam, Beans, and Mimi for peeping my script to make sure it wasn't lame.

A massive thank you to Erie for making my emotes for the channel! You can follow them on Twitter here:

Higurashi Gou and Higurashi Sotsu probably connect to Umineko, but who in the fragments knows if it'll happen? Ryukishi07 is a smart man that tries to bring together the When They Cry series, with titles like Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Umineko No Naku Koro Ni, and Ciconia No Naku Koro Ni - but who knows if they all connect. Bess Sonozaki asks Should you watch Higurashi When They Cry, and personally I think that's a great idea. The openings for the series created by Asaka and Ayane are very enjoyable, especially Analogy for Higurashi Sotsu.

Higurashi Sotsu has some interesting reactions for the full episodes, and I really enjoyed seeing what happened with Rina. Although I promise Umineko isn't that long, and we will discover Who is Frederica Bernkastel.

I love you guys
