Battler truly is incompetent. A child could do better with the blue text weapon than he did!

Spoiler for Battler's Fate:

Battler is missing at the end. The game record says he died at the tenth twilight, but it says that of Maria too and Battler was apparently alive quite a bit longer than she was, so what exactly constitutes the "tenth twilight" is unknown. All we know is he didn't show up for the boat on the 6th.

Red text is only useful for statements of present or past facts. Lots of things can be said in red (think Eva-Beatrice's laugher in ep3 or Beatrice promising to make Battler her pet in ep2). Statements of things other than present or past fact have no truth value beyond the speaker's belief that they are going to happen. Although this shouldn't be taken to mean that what was stated didn't happen. Merely that it didn't necessarily have to.

Spoiler for Twilight Order:

An interesting note: Gohda and Kumasawa are listed as the Ninth Twilights. If the order of the twilights is the order in which people die, then they were killed after Kyrie. Kyrie's phone call can be given a definite time, so at that time we can assume that Gohda and Kumasawa were still alive!

Spoiler for The Well & Phone Calls:

Battler never bothers to attempt to suggest that the people making phone calls were lying. It's possible that no one was ever in the well at all. Admittedly, this means they found out about Kuwadorian somehow (enough about it to reference that it exists and suggest they were there). The people making calls could have been put under duress, or they could be in on the crimes. Battler didn't see a thing, so we can only infer from the aftermath, and we could infer wrong!

Spoiler for Nanjo in ep1, Alibis, and 'Murder':

I earlier suggested that Nanjo was the staker. I stand by this theory despite the red text saying he is not a murderer. Battler infers this himself while studying the crime scenes in this episode: People could have simply been killed first and staked later. If Nanjo's actions never cause a person to die, he isn't a murderer!

It's noted that everyone had an alibi in Kanon's death, although I don't recall it ever being stated that an alibi has to be valid for a person to have one, so it isn't dispositive of their location. Granted, if Nanjo is the staker, Kanon's death would seem to create a problem if Nanjo staked him, but accidentally killing someone in a struggle or desperate moment isn't murder. If we assume "murder" means a deliberate killing, people could be "killed by other people" and not be murdered, if they were killed unintentionally or accidentally. For instance, if you believe Eva killed Rosa and Maria in ep3, it could be that she killed Rosa but didn't "murder" her, then "murdered" Maria. You can still say that they were killed by other people, without inferring that both were murdered!

Spoiler for The Boiler Room (ep3):

Strange that, yet again, no mention was made of the boiler room's exits to the garden, and whether or not they were locked.

Spoiler for Natsuhi's Visit to Kinzo (ep1):

Natsuhi didn't actually meet Kinzo, although she may have found his will or something else which convinced her that the things he said were true. Or she was making it up. Alternately, she was remembering a scene that occurred while Kinzo was alive. The drafting of Kinzo's will could be similar in a later episode; real scene, temporally displaced.
