On re-readings, I don't see where Yasu asserts herself above her other personalities except in that one interview with Battler in Ep4. Other than that, she's abandoned herself to fate, she's so cast...

Krauss is so arrogant and stubborn. Even if he was holding a billion liquid, he wouldn't give it up to help his siblings until he got them as deep in debt to him as possible. Especially after they...

No person would mistake Ushiromiya Kinzo by sight.
But they could lie, couldn't they? It's not a mistake if it's intentional.

Left off that Rosa didn't find conclusive proof Kanon was dead. If...

It may seem far-fetched that Jessica would know about Yasu's multiple personalities if Yasu were actually the culprit; as distant and conflicting as Jessica is with her parents it's still highly...

What happened in the 'real world' is immaterial, since the entirety is a work of fiction and a game of logic, and each arc is it's own puzzle. If you reject any of the constraints required for a...

Not to dispute the rest of it, but Bernkastel's EP7 and 8 games are suspect because it's shown later she had to create a Black Battler for the scenario. No piece can act against their nature even...

Even if George's expressed wish for a yardful of children wasn't sincere so much as he thought it was the mature and romantic thing to say, it does place a burden of expectation on Shannon.

Kinzo's obsession was in part due to guilt for the same reason that Genji felt it was wiser to disguise Lion as a servant and keep her distant; molesting and impregnating Beatrice II. Also can't...
