In another scene we see the killer that is stabbing the victim and he is clearly a man, not a girl in kimono.

She might even hunt the killer that is she can possibly sense his presence or have some clairvoyance abilities. In the world where this takes place, this isn't really far off considering that it has a lot of supernatural elements. I seem to recall that this or similar was also the plot-device in some Hollywood movie. Maybe "Memento" fits the bill? Or to some lesser degree "Lost Highway"? I just mean the idea that the oh-so-obvious murderer is actually innocent isn't completely new. Neither, the double twist in which after declared innocent, it becomes apparent we've been fooled.

It also puts the comment about her being the one to run the family due to being the one with the 'trait' into better perspective. Once again it is the little one liner throw away lines (often spoken softly, or the character speaking to themselves) which are left to help the viewer piece together the back-back story. The third movie really starts to put the powers these people have into the forefront. [MINOR SPOILER]
