While all of the characters are important, there are definitely some that stand out from the pack as the ones that fans of the series like better.
Others tend to fall by the wayside, or their character traits make them actively less likable. This is necessary for having an interesting cast, with some of the characters absolutely being more villainous than others, or making decisions that might not sit well with fans. And with a story like Higurashi , when the story changes and has different occurrences, following the paths of the characters can definitely teach fans different things about their personalities and change their perceptions of them.
She works as a nurse at the Irie Clinic, where she is well-liked by her coworkers and patients, but she is also somewhat sociopathic, not really caring about others and viewing them as research subjects. She is trying to become a goddess by achieving something so great that her name is remembered forever, which is how she assumes godhood is achieved.

Which Royal Are You? It does seem clear that if she feels she is in a world that can only end in tragedy, she gives up trying to help characters and influence events. Thus in Minagoroshi-hen , she expresses extreme boredom and frustration participating in a game tournament she has played out innumerable times until Keiichi does something to change it. Frustrated with her failure to change the ultimate fate of the world in Watadamashi-hen , she castigates Keiichi in her Adult Voice.
Similarly, in Saikoroshi-hen , she confesses to herself that she had alienated herself from her parents because she long ago gave up trying to save them.
Rika used to resist her fate with much greater enthusiasm, but over time, she became mentally worn down and eventually resigned to her fate. As a result, she seems to have almost no interest in anything, as she has been through everything many times already save for Sonozaki Mion 's whimsical club activities, which seem to be one of her few pleasures in life , and she welcomes any kind of change, good or bad.
In that episode, she also uses her Adult Voice. As noted, she previously used her Adult Voice to castigate Keiichi over his failure to save their world. The significance of the different voices remains speculative.
The TIPS reveal that when her parents were still alive, she showed almost no emotion save only reacting to something unexpected. Her mother could not understand Rika, and the two develop a difficult relationship. In the manga version of Saikoroshi-hen , Rika recalls how her mother tried to teach her how to use knives in cooking and, having years experience in previous lives, she decided to show off her skill which embarrasses and confuses her mother. Rika similarly reveals her frustration with her situation.
In one scene in Minagoroshi-hen , Rika gives vent to her frustration by listing what will happen and who will die. In both the manga and anime , she expresses her determination to mature beyond her "child's body" when she nearly falls trying to descend a ladder which includes her vow that her breasts will become bigger.
The manga uses this as comic relief in end pages where in one series she vows to the male characters who flock to the Takano Miyo 's ample assets that they will regret when she grows bigger than Takano Miyo. In another set an adult Rika, in an obvious homage to the character who appears to the child Miyo in the conclusion to Matsuribayashi-hen , laments her development.
She also cares for her mother, as shown in the conclusion of Saikoroshi-hen where she cries thinking she must have killed her mother to leave the parallel world. Satoko is Rika's closest friend, and they have been living together since the death of Satoko's aunt. Satoko is usually the only one who can tell when Rika is upset, as well as the only one who is not fooled by her cute phrases that she uses to hide her true feelings.
Like all of her friends, Rika tries to protect Satoko because she knows how much pain she has been through, especially since many villagers still shun Satoko for her parent's support of the dam project while at the same time they praise Rika at every opportunity. In the sinless world of Saikoroshi-hen , where none of the main tragedies of the series occur, Satoko bullies Rika, since the Rika in that world was infamously known in the school as the girl who used her cute mannerisms to exploit the boys who had a crush on her, most notably Tomita and Okamura, to get what she wanted.
It appears clear that Satoko bullies Rika frequently without the others intervening. When Rika finally snaps and starts beating Satoko with a chair, in her Adult Voice she informs Satoko that she held off reacting since she resembles a friend she had but will now hurt her if she ever comes close to her again.
This initiates an intervention where Satoshi and Mion make clear to Rika how her past behavior like a "princess" irritated others. Satoshi reveals that for her part, Satoko is stubborn but does want to become friends with Rika.
Rena, who overheard one of Rika's discussions with Yamamoto , picks up on the suggestion of creating a game-playing club to bring them all together. Towards the end of the manga depiction, Satoko still stands apart from the group with a sour look towards Rika; however, the implication is left that she will start to join in. In Outbreak , when the village is burning, Satoko finds Rika and tells her to escape with them as it is dangerous to stay in the village more long, however Rika refuses to leave as she has to observe if they can trust new people.
As Satoko is carried away by Keichii, she tearfully tells her to come back one day. Due to this, Rika sheds a tear but encourages the club members to fight on.
Their relationship changes completely in the new third and fourth seasons of the anime. Ye readers be reminded that spoilers there be. However, Rika appears to find herself in an Onikakushi-hen -type time fragment.
With some argument, she convinces Satoko to join her in her dream. Satoko hates studying, but works hard to succeed with Rika. What is GotoQuiz? A better kind of quiz site: no pop-ups, no registration requirements, just high-quality quizzes that you can create and share on your social network.
