In Episode 10, titled ‘Curse-Revealing Chapter, Part 4,’ the Hinamizawa curse starts to act on Ooishi as he misleads everyone by playing along to Satoko’s act and not revealing the truth.
Ooishi intended to use Keiichi as a pawn and visited Satoko’s house with the Child Welfare Committee. He insisted on handing over the case to the police.
Meanwhile, Satoko continued to lie and told Keiichi and Rika that her uncle was taken away by police.
Yet, the tables were turned when Satoko’s witch side killed her with the help of Eua at the sea of fragments and then murdered Teppei with a baseball bat.
What are Satoko’s true intentions this time? Let’s find out.
We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
Episode 11 Preview & Speculation
Too bad for Satoko that her witch side won. It seems like Eua forced her to loop the first time she murdered and took advantage of her confusion. Now it’s too late for Satoko to escape.
Ooishi was accused of killing Keiichi with the bat in the previous season, but now we know who was the one actually responsible. Keiichi must have come to talk to Satoko that night, and when he turned the lights on, Satoko hit him with the bat in her hand.
In episode 10, Ooishi has already cautioned Teppei against the Hinamizawa curse and said he would keep checking on them. So when he comes in, Satoko must have told him that it was Rika’s order.
Although this is just a theory, we ask you to wait for the next episode for more mysteries to be revealed.

Episode 10 Recap
Ooishi throws trash outside the Hojo house. When Satoko and Teppei return, they assume that the people of Hinamizawa must’ve done it to bully Satoko.
Meanwhile, Keiichi continues to gather people for the protest outside the Child Welfare office. People of Hinamizawa agree with him, but the office disappoints again by saying they will decide in one month.
The students, however, are determined to help Satoko and decide to come back again the following day. In the Watanagashi Festival Meeting the next day, Keiichi pleads again to help Satoko.
Ooishi, who is also present in the meeting and is aware of Satoko’s two-faced attitude, thinks that Keiichi could serve as a pawn for him to find the culprits behind the curse. He wonders how Keiichi and everyone will react upon learning the truth.
When the protest outside the Child Welfare office becomes intense, they decide to visit Hojo’s residence and check themselves. Ooishi offers to take them with his police patrol car.
At Hojo’s residence, Satoko tells them that the whole village is ganging upon them. The Child Welfare decide to close the case, but on being requested by Ooishi, they hand over the matter to the police.
Later that day, Satoko talks to Rika and Keiichi and lies that her uncle was taken away by police so that she can attend the festival. When Teppei wakes up, he feels strange and finds Satoko facing him with a pistol.
Just when Satoko is about to press the trigger, her other self at the Sea of Fragments stops her. Satoko discovers that Eua has fooled her, and her replica kills her. After killing the real Satoko, her other self shoots Teppei on the head and then hits his body with a bat.
