High School Boy Slashing Classmate with Nata

I’m sure many of you are getting tired of of all the news of these crazy copycats of anime slashings and displacing it into real life incidents. Well that latest case involves a 15-year-old high school boy slashing his classmate after the victim hit him in their classroom.

Why do I say that its a case of copycat. Because of the weapon that was used in the slashing.

As reported on Asahi News:
一方はなた(刃渡り16センチ)をふるって相手を傷つけたという

It meant that the weapon was a nata that had a 16cm blade, which is exactly the same kind of weapon that is seen in Higurashi!

I’m pretty sure this is gonna cause another stir. I seriously hope that they will not cancel the reminaing season of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai.

Maybe its some evil conspiracy by some organization to force television stations to stop broadcast of all the violent anime series.

    Is there a contest or something like that in Japanese schools? The first who manage to make Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai being canceled wins? is that so?

    Damn… stupid brats.

    The ironic thing is that this current season of Higurashi is so much less gory and violent compared to the first one! The final School Days episode, on the other hand, I could totally understand them pre-empting. It was exploitive and sick. Higurashi was frequently horrifying in the latter half of season 1 but was always intelligent and well-written. It’d be so dumb if they cancelled it because of its image and not for its actual content.
