User blog:AustinDR/PE Proposal: Nomura

Another from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni...

Who is she? What has she done?
Who she is...is kind of a mystery. Nomura isn't even her name for one. She is the overarching antagonist of the Higurashi series while Miyo Takano serves as the main antagonist. She represents a mysterious organization known as "Tokyo" where her main goals are still unknown even after the series concluded. All that we have to go on is that she was wanting to take the Old Koizumi, Chiba, and Okuno factions out. And she's willing to commit f*cking mass murder in order to achieve it.

After Takano was humiliated in a way similar to her grandfather due to her research into the Hinamizawa Syndrome, Nomura takes her in as a pawn under the promise of funding her research in her return for her cooperation. So basically that explains a majority of the events in the previous arcs preferably Rika Furude dying due to her being the "queen piece" of the town. As a means of accentuating the event as apart of Hinamizawa's curse, a special force unit is deceived into massacring the village's 2,000 residents with improvised gas chambers. The cover story states that it was a result of volcanic gas.

Eventually, Takano's plans collapse in her face, and Nomura gets away with EVERYTHING, branding Takano a scapegoat and having one of the members of the Yamainu.

Freudian Excuse? Mitigating factors?
As I have said: virtually whatever we have to go off of in regards to Nomura is unknown. But that being said, she has no redeeming factors clearly using Takano's desperation to her advantage and then leaving her to take all the blame. While I despise Takano for everything that she had done, that is cold.

Heinous standard
Indirectly responsible for the deaths of 2,000+ people; funds Takano's research under the front of the Irie Clinic, thus making her indirectly responsible for Takano's actions like her disemboweling a f*cking little girl after executing her friends.
