Quote:
Kotobuki Yukari (Ange) remembered playing with Maria and her stuffed animal Sakutarou. Hachijou Touya recognized that the author of "Sakutarou's Great Adventure" had to be none other than Ange. So:
-Sakutarou was in fact made up by Maria (not by Touya as I had theorized)
-Touya somehow knew of Sakutarou (even though he had never known Maria at the same time as Sakutarou "existed")
-Ange would know of Sakutarou regardless of whether she had access to Maria's diary or not
-Which also implies a considerably greater possibility of Ange being well familiar with Mariage Sorciere even without Maria's diary

Dick response: The ???? of EP8 was a forgery Toya wrote to give himself closure. Everything inside is completely made up. ahaha.wav

Also of note is the fact that "Hachijou Touya" is only referred to as an author of mystery novels (推理小説) and nothing is mentioned of "Hachijou Touya"'s work including any fantasy elements. This is strong evidence that fantasy elements are purely a meta-projection.

Umineko is a mystery novel with fantasy conceits. Just because they aren't mentioned doesn't mean it's not there, and their being there doesn't make the stories non-Mystery.
