In episode 14, titled ‘God-Entertaining Chapter, Part 3,’ Rika remembered everything from the previous loops, and Satoko’s plan almost came to an end.
Earlier in the episode, Satoko shot Rika after she discovered the truth about her. The cycle of loops continued, and Satoko kept torturing Rika until Rika unleashed the fragment of ‘Onigiri-no-Ryuuou.’
In the sea of fragments, Eua kept Hanyuu as hostage. She was enjoying the fight between Rika and Satoko. Eventually, Rika overpowered Satoko but stopped just when she was about to kill her.
Will Rika kill Satoko and put a stop to all the misery? Or will she let her escape? Let’s find out.
We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
Episode 15 Preview & Speculation
A lot happened in the previous episode. Rika finally gained the memories of the previous loops. In the end, when she was about to end the cycle, she stopped when Satoko got sad over how she will have new friends at St. Lucia.
Rika might have finally understood Satoko’s personality and pitied her, which might be why she stopped at the end moment. On the other hand, it’s still unclear whether Satoko was really sad or she manipulated Rika into not killing her.
Come to think of it, Satoko must have gotten aggressive too after her parents died and her uncle misbehaved with her. She must’ve turned possessive, and since Rika was the only one who she had left, she didn’t want to lose her.
Nevertheless, the next episode is going to be amazing, and we look forward to what Rika decides.

Episode 14 Recap
As Rika brings the box, Satoko shivers in fear but dismisses it, saying she can spot a trap. Rika reveals that it was indeed a trap until she replaced it with a teddy bear toy last night.
Rika’s voice changes, and she asks Satoko about how she knew. Satoko pulls out the gun and shoots Rika, followed by shooting herself.
Rika wakes up in another loop and finds her friends playing during the summers. Satoko joins her and asks if she had another nightmare.
This time, Rika remembers everything and confronts Satoko, but Satoko pierces her throat with a fork. The loop continues, and Satoko keeps killing Rika while calling her a liar for ditching her.
After numerous loops, Satoko attacks Rika while she performs at the Hinamizawa festival, but Rika fights back this time. Satoko admits that she hates studying but Rika says that she will make her attend St. Lucia with her no matter what.
Satoko sticks on, saying that Rika left her to study at St. Lucia despite promising that she would always be with her. Meanwhile, in the sea of fragments, Eua laughs at Satoko and Rika fighting like this.
Since Hanyuu is still tied up, she cannot do anything to stop the tragedy.
Hanyuu tries her best to escape, but Eua ties her tighter, saying her defeat is certain. Hanyuu responds to her, claiming there is one method of achieving victory in the face of certain defeat.
Hanyuu believes that a miracle will change everything and wishes that Rika will grant her that.
In Hinamizawa, Rika and Satoko continue to kill each other while arguing through the loops. Satoko keeps torturing Rika until she pulls out the magic of ‘Onigiri-no-Ryuuou’ that has the power of killing one living in loops.
Rika attacks Satoko with it, but Satoko attacks her back with the sword Hanyuu left.
After swaying the swords and confronting each other, Rika gets her hand on the sword. Rika is about to kill Satoko with it but stops.
In the sea of fragments, Eua wonders what Satoko will do when suddenly Hanyuu breaks free and tries to stop her but is immobilized by the khakkhara.
