--- Quote from: Garret02 on February 14, 2012, 12:42:53 PM ---^If all it would take to check if someone is dead was to touch their hands, they wouldn't have that many problems recognizing dead person.
Btw. the bag the teacher brought looked full so it should have plenty of other nice things than just a simple knife. I'm counting on a nice massacre.

Doh, if it only had that knife I am going to use that as a meme someday, he walked as it that bag was around 40 kilos, or more, and he browsed through it like a shopping bad.
As for the hands thing, maybe it's the Japanese "let's not be so touchy gais!" personality, I mean, Japanese avoid physical contact if it's possible. You can't expect someone will shake your hand just cuz you want to.
We need some more time on that.

Also, Kouichi himself 'doesn't remember' exactly if he's ever lived here before, back from Ep. 01 ... and now his father isn't clear on when he did or did not live here within the past 18 months?

There is another problem with this theory, other than what newy pointed out:
(click to show/hide)If Kouichi is indeed dead, why does his dad call him on his cellphone? It was revealed that the curse is only in effect in the town, and that anyone outside of it, even if related to a student of class 3, is unaffected. Kouichi's dad is currently in India, so if Koucihi were dead, he should know about it, unlike those living in the town. Other parts of the curse (such as the memory loss) seem to be transmittable, though (as evidenced by the static over the phone and his dad suddenly changing his mind on Kouichi being in the town back then). Though that could just be his memory truly failing him, f the curse only works in the town itself, and not outside of it.
Instead, I came across a more interesting theory:
(click to show/hide)It's Reiko who is the dead one. A few hints point in that direction:
1. Kouichi's grandfather saying: "Poor Ritsuko, poor Reiko..."
2. Same grandfather saying he doesn't like funerals. From this, people deducted that Kouichi came to the town 18 months ago to attend Reiko's funeral. At that time, he also met the (current) class rep (the twintails girl in charge of countermeasures), hence why she asked if he lived there before.
3. The myna bird that keeps on saying: "Why, Rei-chan, why?" I still think the bird knows something the others don't.
But aside from that, the reason why I think neither Mei or Kouichi is dead is because (click to show/hide)both have already basically cheated death (Mei with the tumor in her eye and following NDE and Kouichi with his collapsed lung) and thus became immune to the curse, or at least cannot die because of it.

Putting everything aside, that dance would have been so hilarious if they actually did it :D

(click to show/hide)His father may be outside, but he isn't. It's possible that his father knew he's dead, but he doesn't. and the curse alters his experiences as well, making him think he's alive and his father talking to him as if he was alive. I'm sure you've seen this kind of stuff elsewhere. the dead talking to the living via phone.

The first two who died didn't have any sickness.
I haven't seen Ep 6 yet.

Ya sure ? :D

At any rate, i'm betting on that arts club boy. I have no proofs at this point, but I suspect him.
I'd like to know more about what is going on with that female teacher though, she seems like she's in some deep shit but perhaps after what she was already through in the past this has hit her pretty hard. Personally I wouldn't work in a school I have witnessed deaths already, especially being the class 3 teacher again. She had it coming unless she hoped for something else. She might very well be dead as well at this point. I want to know more about her anyways.
