Differences from Watanagashi-hen
Watadamashi-hen's companion arc is Watanagashi-hen, the second arc of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. In keeping with the previous arc, Watadamashi-hen follows a similar story to Watanagashi-hen, though with crucial differences:
- Keiichi gives the doll he wins at the toy shop to Mion instead of Rena.
- Rika dies in a septic tank early in the story, likely from suicide.
