That may be the case (well, we'll never know for certain), but I find it hard to believe that Yasu's distress as depicted in ep 7 was solely caused by her being transgendered. Injuries from the fall from the cliff (if she really was that baby) definitely seemed to have a role in it all, as did revelations made to her by Genji/Nanjo/Kumasawa.

IMO, Virgilia appearing in EP3 was just one more clue pointing to Yasu. See:
Virgilia (Bice) passes her title willing to Beato (Kuwadorian Beatrice), and the title is the inherited by EVA (Yasu), who solved the epitaph and at first was pure and innocent, becoming cruel as the time passes. Okay, I'm NOT saying Virgilia is Bice or that EVA is Yasu, but IMO their roles in EP3 foreshadow these events.

I think it is because when you said that that you sounded that you don't like yaoi at all and are angry at the fact people like it. But I don't think it is.

Definitely, but Genji is always more highly regarded as the 'Ushiromiya Internal Affairs Agent'. Plus, he's the one taking care of everything, from taking the baby to a hospital in Nijima to helping it solve the Epitaph and taking it to Kinjo when it grows up.
I'm not saying Kumasawa isn't essential, all I'm saying is, she mostly changed diapers. Quote:

Which all stopped around the time Ryukishi claims he did some major rewrites. HMMMMMM.

Well, that's just my impression (and also Ryukishi saying that if he's around still writing ten years from now, he might go and re-write Umineko all over from the start), that Umineko really took a different road from where it initially was intented. Maybe it has something to do with his best friend's death, but I think Umineko might have been a lot better (as a story and as a mystery) if that 180 degree rotation of its atmosphere had not occured in Chiru.

I don't know about that...I thought that the story got a lot more interesting in Chiru. EP6 is the only Chiru arc that I wouldn't rank above all the question arcs. I'll admit that I'm in the minority there, but I think that that what Ryukishi ended up doing with Chiru was much more interesting than continuing with a standard murder mystery would have been. I can completely understand why people who spent years theorising about said mystery were disappointed, though.
Also, I'm pretty sure that those scenes with Kumasawa eavesdropping on things stopped about halfway through the first episode, didn't they? And I never found anything particularly mysterious about them. |

Hmm... that's interesting that his "major rewrites" also correspond to the in-universe author switch. But don't forget that Kumasawa dies pretty early in EPs 3-4, but we do still have the "All I can do is watch," attitude by Virgilia in EP3.

Oh that is true about Kumasawa's EP4 death. But honestly it is hard to tell because half the stakes weren't placed in right, and honestly the time and order of the deaths were so confusing.

If I'm not wrong in the spoiler threat someone had posted a preview picture he/she found and that shows a bunch of maids among which there can be Yasu... though we've no idea if Yasu is among the maid showed or the picture is taken from Yasu's perspective, showing what Yasu's seeing.
