In the scene where Ange appears and tries to stop Battler from signing....I don't get it, isn't she 6 years old or something, that year? How is it possible that she's shown the same way after 12 years, and seems like she doesn't know a thing about the island, when she was there, and revealed the truth herself?
Oh and another thing: when Eva-Beato created her "red-truth-web", she probably did not only make it difficult for Battler - I believe that it also damages her. I mean, she erased many, MANY possibilities in the way as she claimed so many things....There must be something in there....Though I can't figure it out yet -_-''
I don't know, but since I started the game, I've got a feeling that Maria has something to do with everything. Well, if not everything, then maybe she did SOMETHING. It IS possible, but I haven't seen any theory about her....strange. And right because few thinks about her as an option, it will be surprising and unexpected if it IS her - and it fits with what everyone says, that Ryuukishi probably plans to do it the most unpredictable.
Maria shows up quite a lot in the opening, like she's really important. oh, and pay attention (though you probably noticed it XD) - in the last minute of the op, she has blood on her face, and her eyes are shadowed. It must be based on something. I...think XD....
I've also noticed that right behind her, you can see a tiny part of Beato! and I don't mean the portrait...look between her arm and head, you'll see her dress, though it's hard to see.
I took a screenshot , and brightened it ~
I am sure if that's what it means, but maybe ....Beatrice uses Maria to kill everyone? and that's why she's behind her here. It's like she pulls the strings from the shadows, and Maria has blood on her face since she's the killer....Really, it's so typical for the creators of Higurashi to make a nine years old girl be the cruel culprit XD
