** In the manga, you get to ''see'' what the orphanage staff considers "punishment." The ''lesser'' punishments involve being beaten to within an inch of your life while wrapped in a mattress, or shoved in a metal locker which is then drenched in water and beaten with golf clubs. The "special" ones...Takano's friend Eriko is ''fed to chickens while still alive.'' Miyo herself is ''lowered into a latrine face first'', and only Takano Sr.'s last-minute rescue saves her from dying there. The next page, when Eriko's eye pops out of the socket in a bloody mess. Doubles as NauseaFuel.

* In light of later revelations, the ending brings up a frightening question: What happened to Satoko after Keiichi fell off the bridge? We can assume she returned to Hinamizawa if she was part of the body count caught up in the gas, but she had fallen victim to Hinamizawa Syndrome by then. What did she do until her death? Where did she go?

* Onikakushi-hen itself has a chilling premise, once you watch the rest of the series to understand what exactly is going on: Two teenage girls see their normally energetic friend suddenly acting withdrawn and sullen, and even occasionally engaging in very erratic and strange behavior, but is also obviously trying to act like nothing is wrong and refuses to tell them what is bothering him. Concerned about his wellbeing, they repeatedly try to check up on him to see if there is something they can do to help him and try to cheer him up, only for his behavior to get increasingly unhinged, with him not only actively trying to avoid them, but screaming at them like a lunatic, and even physically injuring them much more then once. They still try to help him, and they try to cheer him up one more time before he goes away with Irie. They get beaten to death as a result.

** It's also implied that this is what happened after [[ForWantOfANail Bernkastel stopped Miyo from going out to play with her friends, which would've caused her to lose her parents in a bus accident]]. Everything's still the same on the outside with Keiichi, Rena, and the Irie Institution being there and Satoshi disappearing, but without Miyo around, Takano Hifumi's research on brain parasites was recognized by the United Nations and the development of the virus being turned into a biological weapon got a early start, leading to a extremely CrapsackWorld.
