Yeah, it's bullshit, just like the fact that Yasu was really planning to kill everyone... oh wait. Get down from your pedestal and stop acting like you posses all the answers to Umineko.

The 'story' of the Meta-World is to deliver ideas to the reader, and causality and characterization and everything else must take a backseat to this. This has been obvious since the beginning with Battler's immense doublethink, where despite talking to a witch, and supernatural stuff happening around him and bitches teleporting all over the place and time stopping and rewinding and everything he still insists "witches don't exist lol."

Have we been reading the same thing? The story in the meta-world has a storyline and a logic. I know that now with Tohya introduction and whatever people act like OMG EVERYTHING IS METAPHORICAL but ever since ep 1 the Meta-World has its own rules, Featherine even explains some of them.

That's because, as a character, Meta-Battler is just a vehicle to scrutinize what we're fed and call our attention to stuff that's most obviously bullshit, acting as essentially 'the voice of reason', of which he is incompetent at so that the reader has the fun of doing the work themselves.

Maybe, but Meta-Battler is also his own character and he's part of a storyline.

Because she wasn't walking around at the time of the funeral. Even EP6's end says that "reviving Beatrice" is the same as "putting her to rest." The moment Battler and Beatrice realized their feelings for each other, she fulfilled her purpose as a piece and probably ceased existing.

Uh, i'm sorry, but what? Battler even says he will continue to write tales of her inside the catbox, forever and ever.

Yea, and so is Dungeons and Dragons. The characters you pretend to be act like everything is real but they're just puppets wandering around inside the imagination of the Dungeon Master. Same thing.

Too bad the characters in Dungeons and Dragons don't show near their players and talk to them like many characters like Evatrice did. There is even an Ange walking around as a result of their games. (ep IV-VI Ange)
