It's when he says things like this that I think not even Ryukishi knows what the answer is. Although, if that assertion is true, I'm really looking forward to the reveal of why we can always figure out the death order.

I read once that Ryukishi was inspired by Cross+Channel when writing Umineko. (Given the sheer amount of dirty narrative tricks C+C pulls, I'm not surprised.) The reveal of the murderer in one of the game's 'weeks' was about the most shocking and WTF moment in the entire story.

If Umineko's reveal is anything like that, it will all have been worth it.

That's what I'm saying. Unsolvable.
