My hope is that, if Ryuukishi chose this way, he had at least respected this basic principle.
Also this would be the only way to explain why in EP6 "dead" people cannot help.
The case of Kanon and Shannon still remains a bold trickery. There are two possibilities here. if "Shannon" and "Kanon" are two characters in the game portrayed by the same player, then by logic for what concerns the game they are two distinct persons, but in that case none of the tricks used could be considered legit. Therefore it must be that even inside the game there is only one character "Yasu" (who by the way is the culprit) that has many identities.
Basically this means that even with this "game" theory you still have the "trick" of the red claiming the death of an identity and not an actual character.

True, but ShKanon was only needed for one trick, ever. It wasn't even
useful for anything else. The only other time a double identity of any kind was really useful in dodging Reds was for Nanjo's murder in EP3, and even that had the dying Kyrie theory that was never denied.
