(Spoiler) Question
As we know, it is Shion who pretends to be Mion all the time.
Now at the end of this chapter, we get to the prison where Mion is held (Keiichi thinks it is Shion).
I am now at the part where the imprisoned Mion is talking to Shion and saying "..........Mion, my big sister. I beg you [...]"
Why would the real Mion call her sister Mion as well?! It is her sister and she should know it is Shion, or did she lose her mind?

She lost her mind.

Maybe your murderer was actually Mion all along? :beatmeat:

Haha, never. A little spoiler here but...
Mion is the only main character who never kills or turn psychotic in the entire series, possibly including Rika to some extent.

It's revealed in the answer arcs that every single time "Mion" killed someone, it was Shion in her guise.

If you actually read Meakashi you would know the reason;

That, or Matsuribayashi, which repeats the answer several times, to make sure you know why.

This thread should be moved to the Spoiler Discussion sub-forum, because it has spoilers from a future chapter.

On the general forum only spoilers from the current chapter are allowed when spoiler tagged. Spoilers of future chapter go into the Spoiler Discussion sub-forum.

Yeah thanks for ruining a future chapter for me.
I came on here after completing Chapter 2 hoping to avoid spoilers. Great.

you try to avoid spoilers but you read a thread which clearly says SPOILER

This is a thread that was destined to turn spoiler, since it was askimg a question that CAN'T be answered by ehat you know in Chapter 2. As Chaos_Alfa said, it should be moved to the spoiler foeum, but really, it should have begun there.

You posted it under the discussion for Chapter Two so I expected it to be ABOUT Chapter Two. You should have clearly labelled it as a spoiler for future chapters or not posted it in the general thread at all.

The problem of knowing that this thread would turn into a future chapters spoiler thread is that it started as such as of the opening post. The fist sentence of the opening post is a spoiler already. There are not enough sentence for someone to deduce if this thread is about current chapter spoilers or future chapters spoilers without getting spoiled about future chapter revelation.

The solution would have been if the Opening Poster had read the Spoiler Guidelines and created his/her thread in the correct sub-forum.

Also MangaGamer could have moved this thread to the correct sub-forum, I have already reported this thread ages ago.

The forums are split into a General board and a Spoiler board. Please avoid any spoilers (even in spoiler tags) for story details beyond Watanagashi on the General board. There are still people new to the series who would like to experience it and discuss it without having things ruined for them, so please respect that.

Spoilers for material contained in Watanagashi and posted on the General board should be placed in spoiler tags. Discussion of previous chapters is allowed to go unmarked in the body of a post, but please refrain from putting spoilers in post titles.

If you wish to discuss content beyond Watanagashi, that should take place on the Spoiler board. The spoiler tag requirement is more lenient on that board, but do try to be reasonable about what you post out in the open.

If you see spoiler discussion happening in the wrong place, feel free to report it. Spoiler threads will just be moved to the other board. But because moderators can't edit posts, individual posts with spoilers in otherwise compliant threads will be deleted--along with any subsequent posts that quote/refer to the spoiler content.


EDIT: The thread has finally been moved.

I have to admit, that line bugged me because otherwise I think they did a great job of hiding the truth throughout the whole episode while still dropping hints.

Did you guys notice that the day after the switch was made, Shion's theme song from the cafe plays when we see 'Mion' coming to school?

We also have subtle hints about who is who based on the Satoshi. In episode 1, Mion was sad to see him 'transfer', but in episode 2, Shion is angry that he 'transfered'. When 'Mion' was shaking the ladder and talking about Satoshi, it should have given away who she really was if anyone was thinking rationally at the time.

To be fair, I completely missed these clues on my first go, as I was primed to think of supernatural causes instead of natural ones.

Getting back to the discussion at hand, I think the most rational explanation is that Mion was broken at that point, and ready to do whatever Shion wanted her to do, letting her be 'Mion' as much as she wanted to be.

It's very tragic.
