In Episode 9, titled ‘Curse-Revealing Chapter, Part 3,’ Satoko continued to manipulate everyone around her and took advantage of her innocent friends and family.
On the one hand, she faked a mental breakdown at school, making all her classmates gather and protest outside the child welfare office.
As if that wasn’t enough, she continued lying to Teppei that the people of Hinamizawa consider her as an enemy. As a result, Teppei had to kneel down, asking for help from Oishi.
Later in the episode, Satoko injected Hinamizawa syndrome into Oishi when he came to investigate the house. Under the effect of which, Oishi messed inside Oyashiro-sama’s shrine.
We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
Episode 10 Preview & Speculation
Satoko has started to show a hint of doubt as to whether she wants to stay in a world with Rika or with her uncle. Besides, it looks like the Hinamizawa curse amplified Oishi’s obsession with solving the murder case and Oyassan’s disappearance.
Moreover, it’s now confirmed that he still blames the Sonozakis for the Oyassan’s disappearance during the Dam War as he was seen keeping an eye on the Sonozaki mansion at the end of the episode.
In the next episode, we will witness Oishi destroying the town of Hinamizawa under the effect of the injected curse. Also, now we know how Ooishi got the bat.
He must be waiting for the curse to get Teppei near the Hojo house. The rumor going around the town further indicates that Oishi will most probably murder Teppei in the next episode.
Although the theory is yet to be confirmed, we hope to get the answers to our questions in the next episode.

Episode 9 Recap
Satoko continues to have a mental breakdown and screams uncontrollably in class. Keiichi and Rena console her and she becomes stable. Everyone assumes that Satoko broke down due to what she is facing at home and starts to tear up.
After Satoko leaves, Keiichi suggests reporting again to the child welfare. Rika interrupts and says Satoko has made a false report before, so they won’t do anything without real proof. Eventually, they decide to report again at the child welfare office.
Meanwhile, Teppei tries making food for Satoko to surprise her but ends up almost burning the house down. Satoko wonders if her uncle, who once abused her, really went so far to make her happy.
Keiichi, Rena, Rika, Shion, and Mion head to the child welfare office but couldn’t do much. So Keiichi gathers everyone in their class and protests outside their office.
On his way back home, Teppei meets Oishi and kneels down in front of him, asking for a favor. Teppei tells him everything that he believes Satoko is facing and demands help. Oishi accompanies him to his house to see the ground report.
He investigates the place if there is any sign of child abuse but couldn’t find any clue. Moreover, Satoko misleads him by saying that everyone in Hinamizawa calls her an enemy. Satoko then proceeds to prepare tea for the two and spikes it with a sleeping pill.
After Oishi turns unconscious, she injects Hinamizawa syndrome into him. Eua watches everything through a fragment and laughs off, thinking what tragedy Oishi will bring after reaching L5 level.
Oishi leaves and continues his investigation since the Watanagashi festival is round the corner. The Hinamizawa syndrome inside him starts to act as he goes to the Oyashiro-sama’s shrine and destroys the pilgrimages, followed by peeing inside.
On the other hand, a strange rumor saying Hojos’ will be directly hit by this year’s curse goes around the town.
