Higurashi When They Cry Hou: Ch.3 Tatarigoroshi

Tatarigoroshi-hen (祟殺し編, Curse Killing Chapter), is the third question arc in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series, released on August 15, 2003. Unlike the previous arcs Onikakushi-hen and Watanagashi-hen it has five chapters instead of four. Tatarigoroshi-hen is preceded by Watanagashi-hen and followed by Himatsubushi-hen. The story focuses mainly on the Hōjō family, and is the first arc to reveal details about Hōjō Satoko's older brother, Hōjō Satoshi, who vanished on Satoko's birthday the year prior as an alleged result of Oyashiro-sama's curse. It is told from the perspectives of Maebara Keiichi and Satoko. It also includes the first identified appearances of Irie Kyōsuke, the physician who runs the local clinic, and Hōjō Teppei, Satoko's abusive uncle.

Similar to the previous arc, this has characters showing up after they were apparently confirmed to be dead along with bodies disappearing from where they were apparently buried. Every person whom Keiichi wishes to die or simply curses seemingly does so.
