The whole rape/rapeseed play on words would only work in English (or some of the Romance languages) though, as it relies on the convergence of two similar sounding words inherited from Latin and...

They imply that he tends to go into a business a few years too early and chickens out rather than see it though.

Though I have to laugh at some of his predictions about real estate. While there...

The anime never fully went over the family's ranking system (they did allude to it in the 'You're not permitted to wear the One-Winged Eagle' scene) but basically all those who are not blood...

It would be a bit dangerous. You'd have to get rid of the broken piece of chain (the chain in between where you cut and where Kanon cut -- if anyone saw it they would be deeply suspicious) and hope...

In the VN I believe it's explained as him not wanting Kanon to be alone. Since he clearly suspected foul play, it could be to protect Kanon against allegations he cut the chain and then killed the...

The magic circles are mainly copied from the Key of Solomon, a famous grimoire which allegedly was written by Solomon but more realistically dates from 14th or 15th century Europe.

And yes, at...

A well-built wall will always have a higher STC than a cheaply made one. Plus, of course, one would not want a mansion with paper-thin walls in the guest rooms lest guests disturb one another. ...

It may well have been served after they left, either intentionally or accidentally. It's possible they were intended to be victims #5 and #6, and their going to bed early saved their lives; in that...

I think you overestimate how loud they are. I've frequently heard gunshots through only a single wooden wall when I'd go to my family's cabin and people would practice shooting right outside. And...

There was still about the same variety as today. For a rifle, they'd probably have a .30-30 or a .30-06, both of those existed for about 80-90 years at the time. Both would have a large selection...

Well, that's debatable -- there's a huge amount of variety in guns of all kinds. There's large-caliber handguns and small-caliber rifles too. Though for other reasons I believe it was probably a...

If their rooms are far enough away, so long as they were there it wouldn't matter. And of course, the killer could verify their location before beginning the scheme.

There would only be four people except the victims in the mansion -- Kinzo, who probably is beyond caring, Natsuhi, Eve, and Hideyoshi. Everyone else in the mansion dies that night. All the killer...

On the first point, I assume it's a matter of perspective.

On the second, my rationale is that it's Japan. Handguns are extremely rare, and silencers would be even more rare. It's much easier to...

The biggest mystery of all is how that little crown manages to stay on her head regardless of the weather. Once we solve that, all the rest will fall into place.

If this works like Higurashi, there's no guarantee either the culprit or the motive would remain the same.



That could be explained in one of two ways:

A gunshot is about 150 decibels, or less if subsonic ammunition is used. Even your cheap motel, if it's built to current code, will have walls with an STC of 45 in practice, meaning each wall will...

I'd assume the opposite, actually. Hardwood or stone floors (possibly with elaborate rugs) tend to be more indicative of wealth than carpet, at least in my opinion. And unlike carpet, rug can be...
