| - Taraimawashi-hen (盥回し編, Rotation Chapter) is an arc only found in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri. At first glance, this arc appears to be a re-telling of Onikakushi-hen. However, this chapter contains the events of Watanagashi-hen. After learning the secrets of Hinamizawa, Maebara Keiichi, instead of going crazy, decides to ignore everything and enjoy his peaceful school life. Unfortunately, this leads to terrible things. Sonozaki Shion is the villain of this chapter, while Sonozaki Mion, like in Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen, becomes the victim.

Sonozaki Shion is the villain of this chapter, while Sonozaki Mion, like in Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen, becomes the victim. Tarai mawashi (literally, "pass the basin around") is a Japanese idiom, referring to someone avoiding a necessary but unpleasant task by passing the responsibility on to another, similar to the American English phrase "passing the buck." The anime arc Yakusamashi-hen contains very similar events, and it is likely the arc was adapted from Taraimawashi-hen.
