Spoiler for ep3:

Spoiler for Real World:

Kumasawa was 1 of the 6 that got killed in the first night, her body was found in the guest room.

Spoiler for Fantasy/Meta World:

Kumasawa were found by the purgatory sisters, and were going to be offered as a sacrifice for the first ritual. However, she managed to repel their attacks. Beatrice shows up, and Kumasawa transform into Beatrice herself (another Beatrice. This Beatrice is the mentor/master of the current Beatrice). The two Beatrices battles, and Kumasawa-Beatrice loses. After her death, she joins Beatrice, Battler and Renove in the meta world, giving advices to Battler and Beatrice on their games. She is called Warugiria in the meta world.

Bear theory is just a play on words. It originated back in Ep1 when people thought that Kumazawa was kinda suspicious; that she might actually be Beatrice in disguise. The theory is further strengthed by the fact that Beatrice, whom romanji is Be-a-to-ri-i-che, has the starting sound of "Bear". Bear in Japanese is Kuma, which is also the start of Kumazawa. (I can't remember if there were further twisting on words for the zawa part).
