References in When They Cry: Difference between revisions

[[Ryukishi07]] is also known to include references and crossovers within his own works.

*The phrase "That is my only wish" in relation to solving a mystery is used frequently throughout the franchise, by [[Keiichi Maebara]], [[Ooishi Kuraudo]], [[Mamoru Akasaka]], and [[Maria Ushiromiya]].

*[[Frederica Bernkastel]] is known in ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' as the author of the poems that each arc opens with. In ''Umineko no Naku Koro ni'', the character [[Bernkastel]] appears to be the same character. Furthermore, Bernkastel is most likely [[Rika Furude]], as seen in their similar appearances, their supernatural abilities, and the existence of [[Erika Furudo]], a character Bernkastel created in her own likeness who bears a similar name and appearance to Rika.

*[[Lambdadelta]], while not referenced in ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'', is speculated to be [[Miyo Takano]] due to their similar appearance. Furthermore, Lamdadelta refers to Miyo Takano as "her other self" in the ''[[Hotarubi no Tomoru Koro ni]]'' prologue, ''[[The First and the Last Gift]]''. However, [[Ryukishi07]] has directly refuted that theory.
