The next year, depending on Rina's life, if she's killed by the Yakuzas implied to be from the Sonozaki family in Tatarigoroshi-hen or Minagoroshi-hen. Teppei will return to Hinamizawa to hide from them and force Satoko to be his servant, abusing her if she doesn't obey. He is killed twice by Keiichi in Tatarigoroshi-hen and Tsukiotoshi-hen and Rena in Tsumihoroboshi-hen. In Minagoroshi-hen, Teppei is arrested by the police as Keiichi and the residents of Hinamizawa and Okinomiya rallies together to save Satoko from him.
