While not fully explained in the manga, this meeting allows a connection to the Akasaka in Rika's current time-line who wakes up as if having a nightmare at work.
The Akasaka in this time regrets not heeding Rika's warnings in the past which led to the death of his wife and Rika.
In the manga, Rika is able to visit an Akasaka who has coped with the loss of his wife and unborn daughter by immersing himself in his job and karate. In the anime, Akasaka discovers the curious connection between Koizumi and the Irie Clinic. The manga and anime versions of Matsuribayashi-hen are different in that the manga greatly expands the story. He decides to save Rika from her prophesied death, as both a friend and as payment for warning him of his wife's death before it could occur. Through a fate's miracle in Matsuribayashi-hen, he inherits the "Traditional Style Karate" and uses it to single-handedly defeat a Yamainu Squad and their leader, Okonogi. In an untold world, he regrets not being able to save his wife and Rika, and learns "Traditional Style Karate" to clear his mind from all the pain and hopes to relive the time before Himatsubushi-hen to save them.
Upon his arrival in Hinamizawa, he befriends Furude Rika, who speaks to him with her Adult Voice about the future deaths of herself and his wife. This kidnapping is suspected to have been perpetrated by the anti-dam movement, the "Onigafuchi Guardians". In the original Sound Novels, Rika states that the chances of Akasaka s survival and leaving the village are low, because he usually gets killed by the kidnappers during the investigation in most worlds.Īkasaka is sent to Hinamizawa to join Ōishi's department, which is investigating of the kidnapping of the cabinet minister's grandson. But in Matsuribayashi-hen, from his the martial art training, he becomes a very skilled and experienced officer. Later, he proves to be quite cunning when he plays mahjong with Ōishi and his friends, thus earning their respect. In Himatsubushi-hen, Akasaka appears somewhat naive and inexperienced, due to his young age.
