No, it has not. In fact, I don't think anybody in this thread paid much attention to the 'three years' bit before I did.

However, the chance for George being capable of forcibly taking over Hideyoshi's company is very slim. It is only possible if he has access to significant monetary resources anyway... like the gold, but if he has the gold, there's no point in fighting over Hideyoshi's company.

I don't know. Possible? I guess that could happen. Do you have anything suggesting that's what happened?

Kanon's been around for at least 3 years too so maybe that's a hint that they can't get married until Kanon accepts them.

I disagree. Who doesn't want to abuse Kanon for a stupid reason?

Quote:
George: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! AND THAT DRIPPED KANON CAN COOK THE ONIONS SO HE'D ROT FOR OBJECTING MY LOVE FOR SHANNON
Besides, we'll discover George eating his own food. (Hideyoshi's company is for fast food)

Kanon: I hate this job.

Me: You better. Or George will give you something worse -pedoface-

Kanon: -works faster-

However it could have been Okonogi who orchestrated the whole operation.
He might have been the one who spread distrust among the other stakeholders and after that he might have created an alliance in order to overthrow Hideyoshi. In that case there are chances that he would be elected as the new CEO.

I've had that thought for a while, but it never made sense cause he wouldn't have the capital to do such a thing like you said. However, consider that maybe he is trying to do something similar to Kinzo's revival of the Ushiromiya family. If he's found the gold, he can't just move it all and convert it into money, he's said that much himself. So he could be raising capital through loans and taking over companies he can foresee doing well in the future, ie. Hideyoshi. Very Kinzo-like no?

Hey, i have a question... o:

Spoiler:


And question #2:

Spoiler:


I'm sorry, i'm a little slow on this. I've actually only watched the anime, and i'm playing through the first game. But i'm spoilering the crap out of myself, so when i play through the games, i can try and solve the mystery on my own. So i'm super spoilered XD;;

Spoiler:


Sorry for all the questions D: This is only my second post in these forums.

Unlikely. George doesn't have any real reason to hate his father, at least for what we know he doesn't. Even if he had resources and money he'd rather try to create his own company than taking over someone else's especially if it's his own father's company.

If you think he's so evil. Then killing off both his father and his mother would be a lot faster.

Mmm, I dunno. I'm working under the impression that George is at the very least pragmatic. While it's a cruel thing to do, it is much more likely you'll succeed if you take something that exists and works rather than creating something completely new. So I'm not sold on your belief he'd rather create his own company. Additionally, it doesn't mean he has to have malice towards his dad to do it.

Coincidentally, it would resolve the whole issue of Shannon's marriage if he effectively cuts ties with his parents and has been waiting 3 years to put this plan into action.

I have speculation for 07151129 in my sig. Nothing really solid. There are other theories for the epitaph in the epitaph section of the forums.

Quilan/Taiwan and Kogane theory are the answers that are broadly accepted. The answer was said to have been reached a long time ago so we think these are the answers. He never said which theory was the correct one.

It's a PIN number. The possibility also exists that November 29th refers to C.S. Lewis's (an author's) birthday, but that's just my personal theory. Ryukishi said to just look at like a PIN number so it doesn't need a profound meaning or anything.

Quote:
I read in an interview with Ryu07 that the epitaph's mystery is as simple as the english riddle/joke: "Why does the dragon sleep during the day?" in which the answer is "Because he's waiting for the knight." He says its simple like that. Which relates to the fact Eva-Beatrice said the epitaph was like a kid's game... i dunno. Seems interesting to me. Is why i wanna know the answer, so i can go "OHHH. DUHHH."[/spoiler]
It's not simple it's just very childish and complicated. The riddle your thinking of refers to riddles that are harder for foreign people to solve. The answer to your riddle is actually "Because dragons fight nights" a Japanese person wouldn't get this one easily because the word "Night" and "Knight" don't sound the same in japanese. It works the same in english for Japanese riddles.

Ohh. Okay. I should probably buy episode 5 then so i can understand all this better x_x;;

And i meant Young Eva. I tend to lump the two together XD;;

By the way. The epitaph's solution will be probably revealed in just a few weeks from now.

Really? I thought that would be one of the few secrets kept until episode 8. But who knows?

Well, he did say "Aside from that, since this 8-number sequence is used as an important PIN number, the numbers themselves must have some significance. Otherwise, those numbers themselves and the large sum of money..."

I was just wondering if we knew the significance yet.

Yeah, i got that part XD; I read in an interview the answer was "because he's waiting for the knight", but both answers work in the same way. Yeah, i've been reading a lot of Ryu07 interviews recently to try and understand this entire game better.

I've been thinking about this after I saw the new opening, but could it be possible that the "actual" bomb is not supposed to harm anyone? More like, it would be a certain "time limit". For example, Kinzo, after having made his epitaph and put it to display, would have put a bomb that would go off on a certain day, on a certain time. If the epitaph would not be solved in time, and the gold would not be found alongside the bomb, the bomb would explode, destroying the gold-room/the tunnel to the gold-room, making it impossible to access the gold anymore. However, what Kinzo did not take into consideration was that the bomb could cause something else to explode too (Volcanic gases?), destroying the whole mansion. Or maybe someone delibirately made sure that the explosion would kill everyone (Like how I theorized that the destroying the shrine would have let the volcanic gases free to flow again).

Just a thought.

He can simply buy out a business that wants to be bought out and save himself the trouble in this case, you see.

While an interpretation where George actually wants to buy his father's business from underneath him as a proof of his abilities makes sense, there's precious little hints to step on for it.

This is what I think, as well, especially since I believe there's going to be a Da Vinci Code-style twist where the riddle has two separate answers.
