Well in my opinion, the fact that nothing made sense at all in EP8 is why I loved reading it my first time through. Pretty much all of Umineko's magical battles were like this especially EP3 when Beatrice and Virgilia could just use weapons of the Gods at will. It sorta made the magic feel extremely ridiculous and very entertaining to watch it take place all at the same time. EP8 is just a magic battle that goes on and on.

Looking at it though, EP1-4 were anti fantasy so the reason of having ridiculous magic battles was to help get the readers on that track and Chiru is supposed to be Anti Mystery in which the logic battles are extremely ridiculous to get us on the pro fantasy path however EP8 then just feels out of place when you look at it like that. Actually I take that back, EP8 was ridiculous in both fantasy and mystery so I guess what Umineko is saying in the end is nothing :/
