20% more than ep3...Seriously, that is such a frighteningly huge number. How anyone could write that much in so little time with a fever is beyond me. ...almost there. |

And in that same post, he called this the 'climax' of the question arcs. Knowing ryuukishi, a mind fuck is pretty much guaranteed This 'new direction' he's talking about sounds like Himatsubishi, but the size is completely the opposite. |

But if Ryuushiki says that it's the climax and it's got 20% more text (which is amazing...considering his deadline) And a 'new direction'... It totally equals a mindfuck. Let's hope it isn't as odd as the 2nd one. Dx That one really messed me up. |

As for the length... Isn't Umineko a bit shorter in length compared to Higurashi? It feels that way at least. I definitely think all the KAI arcs are much longer (especially Matsuribayashi hen ^^;;; ) but Tatarigoroshi hen was pretty long as well. Maybe it just feels this way because the TIPS aren't as detailed as with Higurashi. Another thing that I notice while I had the pleasure to read over some things, from EP 02: Spoiler:
in regards to if anyone figures out the riddle she'll stop the ritual thus stopping the killings which we saw in EP 03 does not happen. Which leads to the following possibilities (or a combination of):
There's a couple other things I noticed after a reread, but I'll hold them off until I read EP 04. Last edited by nagare; 2008-12-04 at 13:18. |

If ep4 is as large as ryuukishi says it is, then the first four Umineko games will end up at about 95% the size of Higurashi Kai, with Kakera and Tips included.
However, that's only true if you include the script for the long action scenes in umi, and higu1-4 still has slightly more text than umi1-3. |

Either way Beato continued the ritual and the game regardless of the fact Eva and Rosa had found the gold. I'm leaning on (b) and (c). (b) Finding the gold isn't enough to solve the riddle, and (c) Someone else is responsible for the deaths in EP 03. For (c) at least, there's quite a few instances in EP 03 that suggests this. For (b), I'm leaning on Bern's word... Also I believe that Rosa already knew where the gold was before Eva found it. Although I'm not ruling out (a) yet... Just not enough evidence to support or disprove that thought yet. |

I thought the whole witch succession ceremony is celebration specifically for solving the riddle? Unless of course every is part of Beato's elaborate show for Battler to believe in witches.
BTW how does poison theory reconcile with the "victims died instantly" red text? |

If it didn't contradict the red text, then the riddle wasn't truly solved, or the murders in EP 03 are unrelated to "Beatrice." Personally, I only see those 3 options with that contridiction. Quote:
