Rika is one of the most badass characters in anime. Hanyuu says that she has lived through a hundred years of the repeating timeline. Assuming each timeline lasted 2 weeks, that's 2,600 timelines. And in each one she watched her friends and everyone else either murder each other or otherwise die in horrible ways. Yet despite all of that, she manages to keep a warm and friendly demeanor.
TheKanonHara Not to mention she still looks like a 9 year old. She talks several times in Kai about how badly she wants breasts. It sounds silly to think about but it would REALLY suck to never physically get older as your mind matures
Repeating timelines are not necessarily the same length. Based on what we've seen in the anime (still reading the VN), Rika originally restarts a few years earlier, when her parents are still alive and when the other detective dude is still there. This needs to have happened for at least a few years for Rika to develop that calm exterior that detective dude sees her with. It's worth noting that this demeanour is something that she develops as a result of the repeats, not something she developed when she still lived within the bounds of the mortal realm. Her character in Rei is evidence of this. It's also far closer to 1,000 years than 100 years that she spends repeating in different worlds. What is perhaps more devastating to realise is that none of her friends are the same people, ever. They are similar, but they are definitively different every time Rika jumps fragments. Once they _expire_, they never come back. Perhaps it's easier to view all of these versions of Keiichi as different 'states' that he has the 'potential' to develop into, but that's inflating the truth a little. Fragments are distinctly different from each other, in that, regardless of how little time Rika 'jumps back', there is always at least one event months or years away that has occurred differently. Rei is once again evidence of this, but this is also clear because Keiichi sometimes moves to Hinamizawa and sometimes doesn't, regardless of what Rika does. Rika doesn't 'jump back in time', as much as she jumps to an alternate world where _something_ is fundamentally different. So, the friends that Rika watches die and turn into murderers aren't even the same existences as her original friends. Even if she repeats the same exact moves as she did in the past world, from the same point, only _some_ events remain *certain*, and she will never reclaim the friends that she has lost. If you were freaked out about the world in Rei, just keep in mind that it's the same thing for every fragment Rika jumps to. She is _always_ alone. In an existence like that, it's hard not to feel disconnected.
I never listened to this from fear that the songwriters would make her do the "kid" voice of Rika all the time, but no, they got it right! Rika's "adult" voice is just freaking awesome and simply the most dramatic anything in the history of ever. She could ask you to pass the salt and it'd sound like an event of epic, world-shattering proportions...
I understood it as Bernkastel being originated from Rika as kinda had triumphed in her story by creating a Miracle, thus Bernkastel is kinda something that was formed from Rika at that point, a separate metaphysical being which will also be incorpored as one of the many main characters that serves as Featherine's cat guards or overlords, this as Bern claims that each overlord was originally a main character of a tale who fought for his own world.
I just can't help but to imagine if someone from the umineko series somehow winded up I'm Hinamizawa. Or vise versa. What if like to see is an arc that does just that.
This how Bernkastel sings a rock song Bernkastel = Rika Bernkastel is the witch of miracles from Umineko.... and she WAS the split personality of rika before they split as different entities at saikoroshi-hen
she still is Rika, she just no longer has her human body now that she's a witch (tho she looks the exact same except for her empty eyes...), and she calls herself Bernkastel to seperate herself from her past as much as possible. I dislike the name Bernkastel, so I still call her Rika, since that is her real name anyway.
She isn't the split personality of Rika, Bernkastel is the manifestation of all of Rika's selves in the dead end worlds where she died, so although she technically is Rika, she still isn't... Rika =/= Bernkastel (at least not anymore)
linda cicada They're not the same in every sense; here, from the Higurashi Wikia: *_"Frederica looks very similar to Furude Rika, as she is the overall culmination of Rika's existence on the Higurashi gameboard."_* That's what I meant by saying Rika isn't Bernkastel, but Bernkastel *_is_* Rika.

I'd say the four dislikes are Miyo, Okonogi, Teppei and Nomura.. Especially after they were represented as the villains in Kira 2.. but regardless, those four were always villains in the original show.. People just tend to forget Nomura for some reason. :s
It's more likely that it would be Houjou Teppei (a.k.a. Satoko's uncle) because for a perfect world where none of hinamizawa dies, Satoko, who is her best friend, should also be free from her uncle's abuse. It's the true topic of the Minagoroshi-hen chapter. Also, there's no such motives for Oishi to be a villain against Rika o.o
l did cry, Rika is soooo cute I just want to take her home and wrap her up in bubble wrap to keep her safe from the world and if anyone dares to touch her then they should beware
I love this song. I wouldn't have imagined Rika singing to rock music or anything, but its beautiful. Can someone give me a link to the English lyrics?
10 dislikes...pparently takano has made some different accounts to dislike this video. that or the yamainu got pissed and a few employees made accounts :3
@LyarkTV really? that's cool. I also think Mion/Shion's person can sing but I'm not sure if there's editing but I like Mion so maybe that's why I like her singing XD but either way Rika IS amazing!
I rather think that there's 1 Takano and 3 men of Yamainu, who really didn't want to push the dislike button since they liked the song, but Takano threated them to do it. :o
I love this song but the funny thing is that rikas seiyuu is the same as tentens so im used to the cute singing and i din't know this was yukari-san at all
@hanon123456789 *SPOILER* EITHER Rika is a fake since she was created by the witch Bernkastel when she was fighting with Lambdadelta back in Higurashi no naku koro ni. (Watch Umineko no naku koro ni, which is the 3th season, and Lambdadelta kinda hints that she and Bernkastel had a "game" (Battle) similar to the one happening in Umineko. Anyone with a brain can tell that it was the battle in Higurashi where Rika fought with Takano.) Google the the 2 witches, they even LOOK like Rika and Takano.
@hanon123456789 Am talking about LADY Bernkastel (The Witch of Miracles) not FREDERICA Bernkastel (Rika`s memories). Yes there are 2 of them... The Witch and Rika`s memories one. Have you seen Umineko no Naku koro ni yet? Thats where you learn that tere are 2 Bernkastels and plus its awesome!!
@AnimeAndFF Oh dont worry about that, either keiichi will bash their heads in, rena will chop them up with her hatchet, god knows what shion would do Or she will just do it herself with a chair XD
@TheAnimeNett warning: If watching Higurashi, please accept there will be gore and mulitple bloody scenes. the entire show was created for psychological entertainment. :D that is all. :D
@hanon123456789 Light hearted rika and the more emotional rika, are like two different people with the same body. I never said Rika was 'really' FAKE, but i said the more light rika wasnt really her true personality. and you need to watch umineko, or you dont seem like a real "When they cry" fan.

I love Furude Rika. I admire her strength and determination to find the perfect world in the endless sea of time for her and her friends.

so cute!!!! x3
Rika's voice HAS to be the prettiest out of all the characters singing! ~Nipah!
Holy Crap this is freaking awesome
I love hearing RIka's voice, sounds nice
I just can't help but to imagine if someone from the umineko series somehow winded up I'm Hinamizawa. Or vise versa.
What if like to see is an arc that does just that.
Nice
Honestly, Rika/Bernkastel is the most badass thing ever.
This how Bernkastel sings a rock song
Bernkastel = Rika
Bernkastel is the witch of miracles from Umineko.... and she WAS the split personality of rika before they split as different entities at saikoroshi-hen
she still is Rika, she just no longer has her human body now that she's a witch (tho she looks the exact same except for her empty eyes...), and she calls herself Bernkastel to seperate herself from her past as much as possible.

She isn't the split personality of Rika, Bernkastel is the manifestation of all of Rika's selves in the dead end worlds where she died, so although she technically is Rika, she still isn't... Rika =/= Bernkastel (at least not anymore)
the cat box quote.........
Golden_Tsubasa
her real name is Rika Furude, Frederica Bernkastel is a name she made up, dats all that matters. Bernkastel = Rika
linda cicada Yeah, and 'Bernkastel' is the name of Rika's wine ^-^
Something along the lines of "Hanyuu, don't you want to see what's ahead of Showa 58? I won't give up - certainly."
I LOVE this!!! I listen to it at least twice a day!
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni could have been a musical.
One convoluted fucking musical
Love that picture. That would be up on my wall if I could find it online to print out. Rika Furude = awesomeness.
Rika's voice is amazing!
Well, i love this
KittyKitsune KITTY HALLO OWO/

these 10 dislikes are from Takano, Okonogi, Battler, Ange, Beatrice, Will, Lion, Natsuhi, Eva, and...someone else Rika fucked with in Umineko.
Well - Rika isn't really Berknastel... but Bernkastel is Rika. If that makes sense.
This is how much I gathered.
AniGa - Anime, Games & More They are the same person.
linda cicada They're not the same in every sense; here, from the Higurashi Wikia:
*_"Frederica looks very similar to Furude Rika, as she is the overall culmination of Rika's existence on the Higurashi gameboard."_*
That's what I meant by saying Rika isn't Bernkastel, but Bernkastel *_is_* Rika.
AniGa - Anime, Games & More They are the same person, its as simple as that

I corrected the comment with info from the Higurashi Wikia. To repeat it: *_"Frederica looks very similar to Furude Rika, as she is the overall culmination of Rika's existence on the Higurashi gameboard."_*

@alyse3102 cuz she can get assassinated and in another world, just appear behind the assassin saying "Are you trying to kill me? nipaa~~"
Make that 9.
9 Takano's lol T^T Why so many?! What world is this with so many Takano's?!?!

makes me think of frederika bernkastel ...
quick question, is the mature person same as young rika? just curious
Eh, I was thinking Lambdadelta rather than Takano for some reason
What's Rika's last name again.....?
@chipettefan22 Animelyrics' has the lyrics in Higurashi Kai's secton
Um, I can't seem to get your download link to work. It keeps giving me this downloader thing instead.

Fuck yeah this is even better then Seaking!=P.
@criket31 daw...i can imagine Len with Hanyuu's outfit...^^
@hanon123456789 Light hearted rika and the more emotional rika, are like two different people with the same body. I never said Rika was 'really' FAKE, but i said the more light rika wasnt really her true personality.
and you need to watch umineko, or you dont seem like a real "When they cry" fan.
ca you send me this song?
