But this would make things strange as well... since Kinzo and Kumasawa don't seem to have any sort of a relationship. It's possible that they could've hid a possible relationship, but it doesn't really add up. Also Kumasawa tried to solve the riddle to the epitaph, if she was the original Beatrice, couldn't she have just gotten the gold by less difficult means?
Besides, Kumasawa has a son named Sabakichi most likely by a man other than Kinzo. So it would be odd if she was the original Beatrice.

But there seems to be some connection between Virgilia, the original Beatrice, and Kumasawa. Even if they're not all the same person, they seem to be closely related in some way to me.

It does make me wonder just who the original Beatrice was.

Let's see... the most convincing theory I've heard yet is that there were/are three real-world women referred to as "Beatrice".

The first is the woman Kinzo met and who somehow gave him the treasure of gold. That would have been in the last days of WWII, I think someone said.[citation needed]

The second was "captive-Beatrice", the girl Rosa met in Kuwadorian. I believe she was supposed to be in her 20s when she died.

The third, of course, is "suit-Beatrice", the one currently causing trouble in Rokkenjima.

I suspect they're related (as in, each is the daughter of the previous one), but that's speculation.
