Yeah, in ep3 it isn't hugely likely.

Yep, I think that's pretty much exactly what happened. Shannon is lying right next to the well, and the fantasy scene shows the golden thread rising up out of the well. So... that would be an easy way to get rid of the gun. Motive? If Battler found the gun with Kyrie, it would've all been obvious. I suppose she wanted Battler to blame the witch for everything.

As for Maria... well, it was a peaceful MO, and it seems the killer respected her after death. Better she goes to the "golden land" than be forced to live on in the horribly messed up world.

Without getting too spoilerific. Would you guys say the ending in episode 8 could be compared to the Gainax Ending?

Oh noooo.. you linked to tvtropes... there goes my whole day... productivity zero.


Technically, I would say EP8 actually finished the plot line and character development, so it isn't technically like the GainaxEnding. It maybe more like he resolved those things but didn't resolve the thematic ending; although... not the thematic ending but the remaining questions people had.

Basically, we got the 2/3 ending, but people are still clamoring for the last 1/3, whatever that may be.

Maybe people on the English side are trying to say it's like this:

I have been thinking for a while.............What if we misuderstood What Ryukishi wanted us to find...

what if the only thing that matters in Umineko is the Who and Why dunnit?

what if we take that philosophy to the games......

I have also been thinking for a while that maybe the epitaph does not only contains the answer for the Ushiromiyas'gold......What if the Epitaph is also related to the games......

For example in the first part of the epitaph and the first twilight it describes in some way Umineko's Plot:

Spoiler for Epitaph and Episodes:


This is just especulation
and some of them I consider them Stupid

The sixth.......I consider it funny.....but in some twisted way it makes sense...
the eight twilight might not make sense since there was no official game...I think...

what do you think?

I'd've believed it if "Gouge the stomach and kill" lined up with ep7, what with all the gut ripping metaphors. Actually chest (heart) is a better match for ep6 and head (logic) is a better match for ep5. So... probably not true.

i don't know,ep7 is already explain the epitapt and what is it for.if i remember correctly,i think who ever solve the epitapt will become the new head of ushiromiya

i have a theory that can explain why kanon doesn't leave a corpse.he was just a persona that yasu created for shannon, it also means that yasu is kanon.

That's pretty much the general agreement on Kanon's status.

Are you certainly sure that you understand what he/she means ?
If I can understand it right it's his understanding of it with it's connection to games
The thing that you said is completely unrelated

It's a theory that has been established before you were even here
I'm almost tired of hearing it

It's an interesting idea pierrot, but it feels kinda forced in a lot of aspects. Also, it'd be a neat trick if he intended that kind of forshadowing, but god Ryukishi would have to have one enormous ego if he went into writing the epitaph with an ending essentially saying "PRAISE ME!"

The "three bodies" truth does make it somewhat problematic. The ep6 logic error is the one time where classic Shkannon's existance would actually explain something.

first of all,kanon is just a persona created by yasu so if kanon died he will never leave a corpse,so yasu acted as kanon.in ep7 Will said that "only the actor can kill the character" which means that yasu can kill the kanon persona whenever she wants.

here's how i see what happened.
i believe what happened was after kanon hid in the closet yasu killed the kanon persona then hid under the bed or maybe yasu change from kanon persona to beatrice.

it doesn't violate any red so i think this is right.
