Hm, well, I certainly believe that there was the intended irony there. My initial thought was that it was metaphor, but the way she said it made me wonder if it might also be an illustration of the madness that had been consuming her. But I agree it may be reading too much into it.

Thanks so much for the endscroll translation. That's something I really needed to complete the story for me (for now...of course still looking forward to reading Tsubasa, and later "Rei" when/if it comes out).

Thank you for the translation.

;-; I don't think anything in Umineko has made me tear up but this did.

If I may offer, that at the very least in Yasu's head, Beatrice is guilty of the sin of killing people over and over again. I think this is how she thinks:

Yasu is a non-person and can never act as a person. She doesn't even 'exist' despite being her initial identity. Shannon, Kanon and Beatrice are the real identities she uses to represent herself. However, in her mind they aren't personalities of her; there is no 'her.' There are only those three. But they're not real, they are characters. So they can be guilty of crimes committed in their own stories, even if those were not crimes in the real world. And so 'Beatrice' must die for her crimes. Even if Yasu does not. But Yasu... is a non-person and non-persons do not have anything, even the ability to commit sins.

Spoiler for For EP8 ????:

Of course, we don't think like that.. we'd like to know what Yasu was really doing... 8)

You know, I was really, really hoping Ryukishi had a new sprite for Erika at that moment. I was imagining The Golden Land sailing on with a pirate flag and black sails... and Erika comes out as Fleet Admiral Erika, complete with a French admiral uniform and especially that hat.

I'd have her put her right hand in the shirt just like Napoleon too, and draw her half her height.

Thanks a lot MeoTwister5 and Ayu-ayu for these translations and updates.
(Though I originally told myself I wouldn't spoil the plot until Witch Hunt's release)
I'm just excited that Will and Dlanor got to team up and well as Erika's return.

I actually had that idea at some point, after the first time I played EP7. I thought Yasu didn't really "exist," but was only there to tie all these characters. However, the more I re-read the episode, the more I realised Yasu was there she has a personality, and different aspects of her personality are embedded on her characters. There was a point in which it seemed she disappeared. However, no matter how much she tried to deny herself, she was always there. Whenever she looked at the mirror, or whenever she remembered the problem with her body, Yasu was always there. I found it funny because she tried to have people believe many of the characters she created exist, but, at the same time she tried to deny her own existence.

That'd have been amazing.

Please don't dwell on what could have been. Well, if EP8 makes it to other mediums, we can hope to at least see the hat...

I...actually finished this a week ago . Then I got distracted by Ougon Musou Kyoku...

I liked it, surprisingly. There were definitely ways that the story could've worked into the ending better - in particular, I think Ange was a little too awkwardly stuffed in and maybe came in a bit too late - but...it worked. I'm satisfied, and the point of the series makes sense.

The episode itself was probably more awesome than the ending. There were some pretty funny/ironic scenes in there (trollgoats and Lambda in general ftw), and the riddles were a nice diversion (oh, Kanon...at least I'm a nerd and got that question almost right away).

...it's also just struck me how ridiculously postmodern this entire series is, or maybe that's just because I've finally got to reading about that concept. As I've unknowingly thought it's an interesting line of thinking for a while, I can now see why I mostly liked the series even with the unexplained Shkanon antics (Krauss and Jessica are dumb, yes, I get it, but...it still feels like plot hole-level stupidity. Or at least a lack of an interesting subplot if they're supposed to know.). I can also easily see why a lot of people didn't like it - not generally something you usually associate with the mystery genre. To each his/her own, whatever : P.

I'm curious as to what will be in Rei. I doubt it will be much more than crazy beach antics and what-if scenarios, but...you never know.

I'd just like to declare right now that I wouldn't mind seeing Hachijou Ikuko in a swimsuit. Mmmm... Besides, Battler and Ikuko living together for that long... even if it's in really bad taste, I have to admit I wondered just how much of their life extended to ... 'other' ... activities. :3 EDIT: Looks like so did Rifyu. :3

Hey, Takano Miyo turned out really well with her leopard skin swimsuit, didn't she?

Wait... She had boobs? I hadn't noticed them before.
Well, I should have known better, since R07 adds tits to everything - except Lion. (I'd say Rika, but there's Bern.)

Yes, this is more or less how I see Yasu as well....very well explained, thanks.

On another note, I really am intrigued by the parallel between fans that are wanting to call Ryuukishi07's "bluff" and the Witch Hunters' identical reaction to Ikuko deciding to not show Eva's diary. That he anticipated this reaction in his own work really makes me wonder if this should be interpreted as a hint in itself somehow. Personally I'm convinced there is a truth concealed in the catbox, but unsure if the full solution exists within the puzzle, or if he has yet to spring his "last Queen's move".
