Hinamizawa Syndrome: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

[[Hifumi Takano]] identified an antibody of Hinamizawa Syndrome in members of the [[Furude family]]. He used this to designate the family as the as the "queen carriers" of the parasite, with the status of "queen carrier" falling upon the latest born female. He theorized that 48 hours after the death of the queen carrier, the parasites afflicting the villagers will aggravate the symptoms of Hinamizawa Syndrome, forcing everyone in Hinamizawa into L5 status. To counteract this, Takano created Emergency Manual #34, a contingency plan to [[Great Hinamizawa Disaster|wipe out the entire village]] should a queen carrier die.

However, in both {{watanagashi}} and {{meakashi}}, the queen carrier, [[Rika Furude]], is dead for over 48 hours with no effect. This means that the queen carrier theory is either partially or entirely incorrect.

=== Hinamizawaari ===

In the non-canon ''[[Hinamizawa Bus Stop]]'', Hinamizawa Syndrome is caused by an ant-like parasite called Hinamizawaari. The parasite resides in the brain of virtually every resident of [[Hinamizawa]]. A "parent insect" is found within the brain of [[Rika Furude]]. If any Hinamizawaari is too far away from the "parent insect" (e.g. leaving the village), then the parasite will aggravate the syndrome, causing violent and paranoid outbursts.
