Even Rika gets in on the awesomeness - in the anime, she just does her best to keep her head down during the fighting in the sound novel, she actually decides to draw pictures on the ground while waiting for Akasaka to finish annihilating the Mountain Dogs. The sound novel version somehow manages to be even more awesome than the anime version, with over-the-top descriptions of Akasaka's incredible fighting abilities (complete with crashing sound effects), all set to a fast-paced, incredibly uplifting rendition of 'Dear You'.Look how much more awesome it becomes when you add the original game music.Then Akasaka finally entered because of the directions of a small child years ago, and singlehandedly turns the entire situation around. The club captured, Rika gagged and the Yamainu about to kill everyone. Especially after the destruction of the previous Hope Spot, it looked like this arc was also doomed. For almost fifty episodes straight, there is no one to stop the horrible endings, no one to help at all. The awesomeness of the scene isn't so much from Akasaka's ownage of the Yamainu as it is from the immensity of the Big Damn Heroes moment.Yamainu fight in Higurashi Kai will linger in the memories of the fans for years ( Made of Iron anyone?). This comes back in her second Image Song, S.A.G.A.
