However, some of the deference shown to Rika by the villagers may be an unconscious acknowledgement of her role as Queen Carrier. However, when she returned to Hinamizawa, she went back to normal in every world shown in the series other than the Ayakashi senshi-hen, in which there are no clear backgrounds for any of the characters due to the wild difference between this world and every other world, such as Keiichi and Satoshi being together and Hanyū being a fairy of some sort, and Sai koroshi-hen, where the world was sinless, and Rena, who calls herself Reina, her given name, had never moved to Ibaraki and never suffered from Hinamizawa Syndrome. The theory does seem to contain a grain of truth, though, because Ryūgū Rena went partially insane when she was under the stress of her parents divorce while living in Ibaraki. In both instances, the villagers do not react and life for them goes on normally, even into the Heisei Era and past the year 2000, as shown by Me akashi-hen''s endgame TIPS. This theory is disproved in Wata nagashi-hen, when Sonozaki Shion kills Rika, and in Me akashi-hen, in which Rika commits suicide. Rika's corpse found by Keiichi in Tatarigoroshi-henĪs a daughter of the Furude clan, Rika is thought to be a "Queen Carrier." Early theories on the Hinamizawa Syndrome hold that the Queen Carrier is a necessary part of the village's survival and without her, the villagers would go mad in 48 hours. The first episode of that season's Neko damashi-hen reveals that five years have passed since the events of Matsuri bayashi-hen in 1983. In the third season of the anime, an adolescent Rika wears a school uniform shirt with the same crest Shion wears in Curse Deceiving Chapter Part Three of the same season's Tatari damashi-hen, which suggests that Rika eventually attends St. She lives with her classmate and best friend, Hōjō Satoko, in a small house by the Furude Shrine. Although Rika is entitled to attend and have a voice in village meetings due to her family status, she is not required to attend because of her young age.
The villagers of Hinamizawa hold Rika in high esteem, as not only is she the only daughter of the Furude clan, one of the three great houses of Hinamizawa, she is also believed to be the reincarnation of the local deity Oyashiro- sama. Despite only being killed five times on-screen, dialogue eventually confirms that she has been killed once for every arc (until Matsuri bayashi-hen and Mio tsukushi-hen) and all other unseen worlds. As the story progresses, however, viewers learn that she is actually at the heart of most of the strange events, as her death is the trigger for the Great Hinamizawa Disaster (excluding Wata nagashi-hen and Me akashi-hen) and following incidents.
Rika seems like little more than a secondary character for much of the first half of Higurashi.
