Battler's sin was remembering. Because he did it.
Why else is Tohya afraid of him? It's freakin' Seagull Club.
EDIT: To extend upon this idea, what Battler realizes at the end of ep5 is that he completely understands Beatrice's writing style, and thus that she is scapegoating herself. However, he also realizes the MO of the killer as presented in the various closed rooms can only match a person with an incredibly analytical mind and an intense background in mysteries. Yasu is eliminated as a culprit in his mind because she's scapegoating herself which means she didn't do it... which only leaves a single possible person: Battler himself.
Culprits: Battler, Yasu; Yasu attempts to kill herself out of guilt and take Battler with her, but he survives.
Accomplices: Nanjo, Kumasawa, Genji; all killed when convenient.
I could just be making all of this up though.
