actually it is a ending in keigo-speech, you can best translate it in english as "is" in the meaning of "something is ..." but not in the meaning of "there is something over there" in that case you would use arimasu or imasu
Keichii was never really the 'star'. It was her all along, it's just he had a few arcs that were told through his eyes. Just because an arc is told through someone's eyes doesn't mean they're the main character.
Also, the manga and matsuri are just adaptions of the sound novel, just like the anime, so of course she's still the main character :3.
U sure she's the star I figured it was either her Keichi or Spoiler: Takano. Ur right about the arc thing thing the 1st Higurashi series mostly had Keichi arcs Kai and Rei were mostly Rika. There were other games besides Matsuri but their all the same, so Idk if their adaptations or not. I'll wait till all the games get translated to play/read them, anyway I always liked Rika, so it don't matter if she's the star or not.
I'm pretty sure there's only the series of Sound Novels, series of Ps2 games (Matsuri) and then Daybreak, but Daybreak is just fanmade. Is that not right?
Haha, I'm with you on that one xD. That's the only reason I like Bern-chan in Umineko, 'cause she looks like Rika.
What's tan supposed to mean, I know her 1st name means 3 and 4, no 1 likes her but I thought every1 likes a villian that looks hot, especially Sephiroth. Yeah those r the games I believe Daybreak is legit not fanmade even if it's a totally different game, yeah Rika is so adorable. Hard to believe she's like over 100 cos of repeating the same days, Fredericka was born from the many Rika's, not quite an reincarnation. I haven't seen Umineko yet but Fred seems kool but that's really y u like her.
Oh so it's Lambda's nickname I didn't know, I've never heard Takano being called 34-tan, did the fans call her that? Well the chary's fight each other with their weapons or use their hands or other objects I haven't seen Takano use her gun even tho she has 1, but i haven't seen that many vids of Daybreak. And it does have story to it, if u choose to play with Mion and Keichi their ending has Mion tell Keichi she loves him and him running away
Rika's most known for the "nipaa~"s, but she also says "desu" a lot too. Well, "nano desu" also, but we'll just file them under the same "desu" category. ;)
Which is quite ironic, since the REAL mentally-100-year-old-Rika sounds alot more evil when she talks to herself or Hanyuu and is altogether a more mysterious, darker person than Suiseiseki.
Desu is kind of a pun when it comes to her. It's added to the end of a sentence to sound cute or funny, and is typically used by girls and young children.
The village is in a timeloop, and only Rika fully remembers everything that has happened in the previous loops. Each arc is a loop, and there's like, what, atleast 10 arcs? And Rika's 10+ each time, she's over 100 years old. And because of this, she tries to act really kiddish to not scare her friends.
I like the part where she said desu...

Yeah, it's pretty much the closest thing you can get to a "be" verb in Japanese.
However, abuse of it is supposed to make the character in question seem cute.
Rika has little screen time, but she could probably give Suiseiseki a run for her money.

It's a nickname used mostly for Lambdadelta, but it's used for Takano sometimes too.
Yeah...it's more of a shooter game than the actual story. I heard it's pretty fun, though.
Actually, Frederica is only a reincarnation of the 'dark' sides of Rika, all of her suffering and pain.
And Frederica Bernkastel and Bernkastel from Umineko are different people.
(SPOILER!) In the game of the world of Higurashi, Bernkastel (The Umineko one) controls Rika, and Lambda controls Takano.

It doesn't have one meaning, it's used in sentences to link words.
Which is how you also get past tenses, etc of it.

There's no way you can put all of Rika's desus in one video(atleast a under 10 minute video),she says it too much.
<3 Hau,Rika sounds so cute when she says "Desu"!..But doesn't Hanyuu say "desu" too?..We need a Hanyuu reel!
NaruhinaXSasusaku 3 years ago
Hanyuu's got a whole song dedicated to her "desu"s XDD (well, "nano desu", and it's not really ABOUT the desus but... bah, details details)
And I second the motion for a Hanyuu reel! At risk of pumping my Hanyuu addiction to unhealthy levels, that'd be very nice to see. ^^

I think it doesn't mean anything. It's usually a thing which kids do, they create some meaningless word and add it to their speech randomly.
I think it's like Wolfram does in Kyou Kara Maou... (Boku mo iku "jyari"!)
