[Game] Umineko - Spoilers, Theories, Interpretations

[rogerpepitone]

Spoiler for ep 5 portrait?:

Something about the style of the sleeves makes me think "young Virgilia".

[Ttak]

(for me) Strangely, she looks like Ange (it's not her, only resembles).
And do anyone know what's being said on that image?

[Marion]

Spoiler for Ep 5?:

She really reminds me of Virgilia, due to the hairstyle, but it could be misleading.

[Kitsu]

Pixiv is flooded with that gril o.O

Lol

[Coruja]

Awesome portrait, best one yet in my opinion. It's so creepy on many levels! Especially because of the figure in the background and the creepy hand, and of course the fact that she looks so serene. I love it.

Well, I guess her head and hairstyle makes her look like Ange...

And she's in the parlour. Another one of Beatrice's friends maybe? Or perhaps another Voyager like Bern and Lambda?

"あなたが犯人です..."

Spoiler:

"You're the culprit."

[Kitsu]

Woah...that's ehm...bold and awesome!

[chronotrig]

Okay, it's all real. Here are the translations for the EP5 spoiler pictures.

Spoiler for EP5 spoilers:

Pictures from here, top to bottom. Rough translation, sorry.

".........Because you have me, the Witch of Miracles Bernkastel, as your ally, ...the possibility of a 'miracle' allowing Ange's family to return to her exists. Although it would also be pretty interesting to me if you were to give that up of your own will, guaranteeing that all of Ange's endless futures are filled with misfortune."


"The pieces and board for chess exist so that chess can be played. You 'cannot' use those to play cards. However, what about throwing the chess pieces at your opponent or scribbling all over the chess board? Taking these sorts of actions is not impossible. However, doing such a thing would be a disgrace to the game of chess, so people 'don't do it'."


"Certainly. ......So, how was your journey to explore Milady's thoughts?"
"I still don't have a clue, but it was fun."


"Natsuhi."
"Y, yes, Father..."
"Try and overcome...your hardships."


"......A short while ago, a person came to the mansion claiming to have drifted here from a shipwreck."


"Do not worry, everyone... Everything is fine. __ is not injured in any way. __ seems to be tired, but there will be nothing to worry about tonight, as long as __ doesn't develop a fever."
"That's good to hear. ......Even though we do have a doctor here, there's no hospital."


"No, it truly is right in the middle of a storm. .........Natsuhi-sama. I propose that we change the closed room barrier into something else."


"You are the culprit."

[Jan-Poo]

OM...WTF?! °°

Spoiler for ep5 preview:

I was kinda thinking that girl could be a foreigner seeing as how she doesn't have black eyes and then I see this:

"......A short while ago, a person came to the mansion claiming to have drifted here from a shipwreck."

Is the plot going to complicate even further?

But another thing I can't understand is:

No, we truly are right in the middle of a storm. .........Natsuhi-sama. I propose that we change the closed room barrier into something else."

Why Virgilia is talking to Natsuhi using the honorific? Does that mean this is Natsuhi's time to kill everyone? °°;

The fifth and the sixth extract are the most interesting ones. Even the seventh one, actually. Okay, all of them are. XD

[Alaya]

Spoiler for Speculation:

From the translation by Chronotig above, I think we will have some answers for the first game. Maybe more information about Natsuhi? Maybe the portrait is of Natsuhi when she was young?

[Auria]

*dies of excitement*

I like the new character sprite wise. And I love the chessboard-scribbling idea :0 Poor chessboard. - tries to keep other thoughts in a cage for now -

[Marion]

Interesting translations :u

Spoiler for EP5 Spoilers?:

1) Bernkastel talking to maybe Battler.

2) Beatrice or Kinzo?

3) Ronove talking to Battler?

4) Natsuhi and Kinzo

5) Genji?

6) No clue with these two. Very generic phrases.

7) Shannon or Kanon talking to Natsuhi

8) The new girl from the portrait.

well

Spoiler for chrono's post(ep 5):

it looks like "the person from teh shipwreck" is probably the girl in the portrait...
the one with battler going through beatos thoughts is a bit confusing...and the suspicious one with blanks....hmmm......

[Kitsu]

I think the blanks refer to the person who stranded and now needed treatment

[Alaya]

Spoiler for spoiler:

"......A short while ago, a person came to the mansion claiming to have drifted here from a shipwreck."

So with this, if it occured not long before the game, then it's mean we have someone else apart from Kinzo died?

[chronotrig]

Spoiler for ep5?:

Yeah, if true, it looks extremely likely that Bern will be a piece on the board in EP5, someone who shipwrecked and drifted to the island after the start time of the game.

But wait... if true, it means that this won't be anything like any of the question arcs. That would change every aspect of the story...unless only Rosa, Nanjo, Genji, Krauss, Natsuhi know about it...heh.

Spoiler for Spoiler?:

Well, we know that no more than 17 people exist on the island. But there's no indication that among 17 people, there's a fake one.

Maybe someone died and got replaced by a person drifted to the island? Well, it's too soon to make a guess, though.

[Jan-Poo]

Seeing at the dialogs translated so far i doubt this is merely an explanation of a previous game. This is a completely new game.

Also I really don't think it's Bern. There's no way she would play such a powerful card right now.
