I'm going to put down my theory too~ It's not that original, but here goes.
Both Battler and Yasu survived. Battler just dropped out of the story in Episode 7's tea party. As for Yasu, we saw a number of examples of Kyrie's poor shooting. For all we know, Yasu just lay there waiting for the next spin of the roulette, and Battler was near the church anyway. She wrote the stories in the message bottles AFTER the disaster as an apology. Yasu self-identifies as female. First off, Kanon is the only male servant we see besides Genji and Gohda, so it seems reasonable to assume that most if not all of the Fukuin children were girls. Moreover, all but one of her personalities are female and her fantasies are exactly the kind of thing a little girl would come up with (tea made from golden roses, elegant tea parties in the middle of the night, etc.) I think one line of dialogue is too little basis for speculation on the state of her body. Battler is Amakusa (alternately, Battler hired Amakusa). He found out about Kasumi's plot and decided to go undercover to save his sister. He faked Ange's death, thereby removing Okonogi from the picture, and saved her life. Neither of them cares much about money anyway, so they live under an assumed name. I'm also not certain that Ep. 8 will have choices after all. Ryuukishi said he was considering it, but he had even more on his plate than usual and less time to do it all in. |

I was reading The Benson Murder Case by Van Dine. Yes, that Van Dine... no, not Will. 8) If we compare the culprit to what George does in this game, I'd have to say that the culprit, during the entire (rather dry) novel did absolutely nothing suspicious. There was one thing that was a bit strange, but then he gave the detective team a perfectly valid explanation. The only thing that pointed to his guilt was really the murder scene; basically how it was set up and what items were lying around. This was presented in chapter 1, even before you knew the list of potential suspects. In fact, the only thing suspicious that the culprit did, prior to the start of the novel, which caused Lion--I mean Philo Vance to suspect him was that he had a "solid" alibi. In other words, constructing a solid alibi (that wasn't really solid) was suspicious. All the other suspects had poor alibis. So, with George, it isn't necessary that we see him actually doing anything; especially not if he's the last culprit we are to find. We can't use 'induction' on him... instead, we must look for clues around him that point to him in a deductive manner, I think. |

Either way, if things are just how EP7 portrayed them, then I guess we cannot say they didn't fit, since they do as long as long as you're willing accept some stretches - which we've done already several times.
