After playing so much Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS lately, I am becoming more convinced that Black Battler is strongly connected to Tohya. Black truth as I have mentioned a few posts before is black text written by the author. Interestingly, if you lose against him with Beatrice, he will sometimes say to her "Sleep Beatrice, I will continue your stories." Taking into account EPs 1-2 being written by Beatrice, and EPs 3 - 6 being written by Tohya, the story of Beatrice is continued through Tohya's forgeries. Also keeping in mind that they were also written when Beatrice was already dead, which equates to sleeping. When you lose against him with Battler, he says to Battler "Sleep Battler. Leave Beato and your little sister to me". I take this as symbolic of Tohya taking care of Beatrice through therapy of writing the forgeries where through writing, he is slowly trying to accept what happened and coming into peace with Beatrice (somewhat connected to the very end of Umineko). The part where he says take care of Ange, could be symbolic of Tohya taking responsibility to meet Ange, to finally come to terms with leaving behind his life as Battler by meeting Ange, which he did in the end of EP8. Again, by leaving his life as Battler and treating him as dead, being dead equates to sleeping. When you beat B Battler, he says one out of three distinct quotes - "Everything is broken, but I'll come again. See you again, in the next nightmare". He also says in-match when you lose to him something like "The dream would continue". Also, if the meta-world is somewhat connected through what goes through Tohya's head, then it would explain why in one of the manga chapters of EP4, B Battler was drawn in the cover. This is because, as he tries to remember who he is, and when confronted with a question concerning whether or not he is the real Battler, he begins to think that he might be the culprit. With this in mind, Black Battler is a product of Tohya's fear of the possibility that he might be the culprit. Other potential hints that he is connected to Tohya is when he loses he says these lines "... Strange. My arms, my legs, they won't listen to what I tell them" - Perhaps when he tried to commit suicide which confined him to a wheelchair, this is a reflection of his experience? "*laughs*... I'm grateful. ... Now I can be released" - Perhaps when Tohya realized he is not the culprit it gave him a sense of relief and/or when he was done with forgeries and accepts his life as Battler is over? I could even add that Tohya at one point may have had a nightmare of a Black Battler culprit theory being the truth of Rokkenjima that it led to his suicide attempt, which further makes sense that Black Battler is indeed a product of his nightmare as it is alluded throughout the game that he is some form of or part of a nightmare. EDIT: Every character you pair up with B Battler, refer to him as "Battler-sama", which could mean Master Battler or Lord Battler. If I remember correctly, Sorcerer Battler was also referred to as such. It is interesting to note that in the opening of Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS that there is a dark silhouette of Sorcerer Battler next to the silhouette of normal Sorcerer Battler. Sorcerer Battler is a GM writing the scenario of the games, which is the same role as an author does when writing the forgeries. Since Tohya is a forgery author who more or less is represented through GM Sorcerer Battler, I can't help but think that B Battler is a GM of sorts, albeit through Tohya himself, representing Tohya's fear that he might be the culprit of the Rokken Island Massacre.

I was just rereading through episode four's manga today when I was seized by a strange and perhaps crazy thought, though it may not be new or original (it's hard to keep up with all the ones out there!). I wanted to share it while it was still fresh, even if it may wind up in crack theory territory after considering more details later.
What if Ikuko and Tohya are BOTH Sayo? ![]() At first I was thinking "what if Tohya was Sayo rather than Battler," but then by extension I began to become suspicious of Ikuko as well as being another one of Sayo's ever increasing cast of furniture. That said, I'll have to reread all the relevant portions again now. ![]() But this could also explain why Tohya avoided Ange for so long. And as we know Battler looks like a young Kinzo, it's not completely out of the question that an aged Sayo/Yasu (perhaps with the aid of their great make-up abilities) could look like an aged Battler and could make the memory loss and other excuses why they could not meet for so long. But we do know how Beatrice was able bring back the dead in her past games...

If we've to believe in what Tohya said he doesn't remember what happened on Rokkenjima so it can very well be he feared he was the culprit in Prime (Ep 4). At the same time in Ep 5 he made himself be the culprit to cover up for Sayo so even if he's sure he's not the culprit in the gameboard the same might not apply for Prime. Black Battler is, in a way, also the theory that Battler, instead than Sayo, Beatrice or Eva, was the culprit. So if Beatrice dies against him he switches on being the assumed culprit. I'll say BBattler is also Ange's nightmare. We can also see Battler and BBattler as the two possibilities Tohya had. He could either be innocent or the culprit and if BBattler wins (and therefore it means Tohya is the culprit) yes, through Tohya he's taking care of Ange and Beato... where 'taking care' might not necessarily mean being good to them but just handling them one way or the other (for example by keeping on writing novels to ensure Beatrice will live and by keeping the truth hidden so Ange will never discover her brother was the culprit and survived to the tragedy). Quote:
I don't mean he took part to the whole massacre but... he too could have had his own dark side. After all Eva doesn't know what happened after she fainted. But well, I find difficult to think that Battler killed George as George was shot and Battler didn't have a weapon... and I don't think he could have killed in such a brutal way Jessica (though it would make more sense for him to do it that for Kyrie)... but well, he could have still ended up being involved in Rudolf and Kyrie's plan. LOL, but probably that wasn't the case and I'm just reading too much into stuffs. Quote:

My own immediate qualm with this crack theory though is I can't really see a motive for Sayo to have lived on afterwards and keep writing the stories, unless it is only targeted at Ange (and possibly Eva while she was alive)...which doesn't really make much sense at all as far as I can figure.

That means, even if someone was disguising as Tohya, Sayo couldn't be other than Ikuko (assuming she IS her of course) at the moment, because Sayo's abilities for disguises were related to two factors: 1. Her androginous body and biological ressemblance to Beatrice (Battler to the extent of emulating his voice, but definitley not his physique since he was much taller... and even that never actually happened in Prime) 2. Aside from Beatrice, she WAS the other personas, they weren't stolen identities/faces. Nobody else was impersonating the same thing as her at the same time so there was no point of comparison to imagine that an impostor existed. |

Question: The knowledge of what Rosa did when she remembered the death of Beatrice II in EP3 had to come from somewhere. But I don't recall the EP7 tea party having a moment like that too... Didn't I pay attention? Could Tohya or Eva have learned it from another source or we can just assume that Rosa told them at some point?

Rosatrice: Rosa revealed that she is Beatrice and told everyone everything (motive, message bottles, etc.), including the death of Beatrice II and what was shown in the Tea Party was her perspective, hence why she and Beatrice were portrayed as being separate. Sayotrice: Sayo revealed everything (message bottles, motive, etc.) and must've briefly mentioned the death of Beatrice II. Didn't necessarily had to say "Rosa did it", but the siblings could have pinpointed Rosa as the only candidate to have had sent her out, since she was the only sibling to have lived at the island at the time.

The manga introduced the fact there was also a message bottle which contained Sayo's confession and that one likely contained Rosa's story as Genji knew it and related it to Sayo. The bottle then ended up into possession of the Hachijo duo and they likely used it as source of informations. The knowledge of Beatrice II's existence might have become public knowledge after the Rokkenjima explosion as Kuwabata knew of Kuwadorian and of the fact that a woman lived there and Beatrice II likely had more servants than just Kumasawa so one of them might have talked... even if they might not have known Beatrice's true identity and how she ended up meeting Rosa. Of course it's possible that Rosa mentioned it to her siblings in a way similar to Ep 3 in Prime... but the scene in the Teaparty is much more calmer and the siblings tackle the epitaph as a way to pass time, not as a urgent matter and there's not any particular reaction when they say Beatrice (they don't think that she's the Beatrice Rosa met that somehow survived or something along the line) so I think this story doesn't figure in Eva's diary. Contrary to what Ep 2 & 3 show us Rosa might have removed completely her memory about Beatrice or merely she doesn't feel like talking about it. Quote:
Quote:
So honestly while I can see the charm of this theory (Sayo surviving, taking another identity and then creating another fantasy character to keep her company and basing it on the chance Battler might have survived as well) as far as I'm involved it ends up erasing too much narrative without a real reason or an improvement in the story. I mean... if Tohya's just Sayo's fantasy his struggle to recover his memory and his guilt toward Ange exist purely for Sayo's amusement. He's not a real person... as Jessica Rabbit would say 'he was only drawn that way'. Quote:
This however caused Rokkenjima's reputation as the witch's island to grow and when a forgery was found by a fisherman and the police confirmed they had found another basically the popularity of Rokkenjima as the witch island skyrocket. But I can't find anything saying Eva owned some of the forgeries and the manga tells us Sayo tossed them all in the sea. Quote:

![]() But Ikuko and Sayo have many things in common. If Ikuko's true age were told and it happened to be around 28 - 31, readers would merely and simply believe she is Sayo who survived. Plus Tohja it makes somehow sense Other similitaries but with a lesser extend can be observed: Battler and Will, Sayo (who loved mysteries) and Erika, etc. Quote:

While I'm all for having Ikuko being Sayo I strongly fear that's not the case. But well, I'll hope till the last moment. Quote:
After all, even if we're told that BBattler has no motive, in truth it wasn't like Battler's relationship with his family was perfect. The media would fully exploit it to build up a motive so that he would look even more suspicious. Technically Battler never comes back. It's Tohya who does but after 12 years from the incident he's still refusing to meet Ange. We don't really know when their meeting finally took place as the text only implied time went by and it could be the two are pretty old. Quote:
After all we know that Sayo wrote her forgeries in 1986 so it would be weird for her to place the story in a timezone prior to it... but at the same time as she wrote them Battler wasn't back yet. Honestly I'm not even sure Forgery xxx and the Kanon/Battler storyline are the same story. The Kanon/Battler storyline might be Land or Trinity for all we know as BBattler seems to be a weaker existence in it (he doesn't even have red eyes). About Bernkastel... I've no idea. This touches the old point of 'how much of the magic/meta scene is in the forgeries' that never got a solution. But the fact that Bern's game is mentioned makes me think that this forgery is post Twilight and BBattler's dialogue seems to imply he's written by someone else that's not Tohya and that's a poor writer as he's not even giving him a motive... which ultimately makes it a forgery from some other person who read Tohya's books. But well, it might be just me. Quote:
Of course it's possible Eva-Beatrice is merely referring to the Battler-Culprit-Theory and not to Battler. BBattler is, after all, the personification of that theory as well as Eva Beatrice is the personification of the Eva-Culprit-theory... which Eva allowed to survive so that Ange won't have to suspect of her family. |

The True Culprit

You know, you could always use spoiler tags by paragraph and subject, like
Spoiler for The Culprit's identity:
or Spoiler for The meaning of the logic error:
or whatever. It'd make your posts a lot less unreasonable. As it is I haven't been able to parse a single thing you've written for the past ten pages because it's a big spastic mess.

Part 1- this is no longer an essay anymore, this is a novel...
@ everyone, I really!! would like you to take a look at the following text, please, at least read until the the part about the first scene is over. Because this is now highly likely the truth. If I didnt write in a forum right now Id even write "definitely". What the meta is, what Beatos goal is, what the meaning of the ending is, this is all already shown in the first 4 games. Its like every scene we see in the games is part of the puzzle. Again: this is not me being f*** up, I would have preferred something different too and I could almost cry because of this shit! T_T Especially because I was so wrong with hating Beato so much
![]() A few words beforehand: I don’t know if someone posted this theory already, I had to write this text offline again. So please just read it and I apologize if theres some obvious stuff included. In the beginning, for you to read it, I even wont force my interpretation on you – what Im making out of it will come later, but Imo the first scene I mention is so important that you should try to integrate it into your own theories somehow, even if your solution should differ from mine. First scene 1)I want to once again remind you what was said at the end of ep 5: Im quoting all the important scenes now, so this text will be a huge collection of quotation, please bear with me! Ill put them all in spoiler tags, so the text will take less space in the forum. But I really hope youll read them, because Ill mark the important sentences. Battler when Natsuhi is accused of being the culprit: Spoiler for quotation VN:
Later ep 5 – while making Natsuhi the culprit: Spoiler for quotation VN:
Ep 5, Beato when Gaap etc. say she should give up on Natuhi: Spoiler for quotation VN:
Battler ep 5 still when Natsuhi is accused: Spoiler for quotation VN:
Battler later, after Virgilia gave him the red truth that Natsuhi isn’t the culprit: Spoiler for quot vn:
Ep 5 Battler realized what will happen if he uses this truth: Spoiler for quot vn:
He still loses completely: Spoiler for quot vn:
Beato to Battler after that: Spoiler for quot vn:
Battler is stabbed with Dlanors sword right through his chest. Dlanor: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ok, now here are still some manga-scenes that relate to that: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/23/67 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/23/72 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/23/73 and episode 3: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/19/52 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/19/53 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/19/55 The point here is: -Battler despairs when he uses his own truth and that is denied. In ep 5 and in ep 3 hes stabbed through his chest or shot right through the heart, when he learns that someone from his family is the culprit. -And Beatos comments show that she experienced something similar beforehand.And she doesn’t want that to happen again – she wont let a human be the culprit. And she fights for the real truth, after all, Natsuhi IS innocent. -After having the red truth “stabbed” into him, Battler stops thinking and is in a state similar to death -there was a time battler abandoned some belief Ill leave the interpretation for later, because now comes the most important part! 2)Its absolutely necessary for you to take a look at the VN. I linked a video, the scene starts from 4:44:43, that’s the scene where Ange discovers the truth, and it still goes on until 5:32:00. Only the Ange stuff is important now, you can jump the Ikuko stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd2l...ORh2d3ccoOQmAu Or else, if you dont want to look again at the video, I quote the text here: Ange after opening the book of the Single Truth, when she learns the truth about who the culprits are: Spoiler for quote ep:
Ange then jumps from the building: Spoiler for quote vn:
And she wakes up in the Golden Land: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 8 Battler to Ange when they confront Bern: Spoiler for quote vn:
If you managed to read the whole text in detail, there are some things that are very striking. But I first want to show some pages of the manga again: Manga ep 3: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...episode-3/20/8 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...episode-3/20/9 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/20/10 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/20/11 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/20/12 manga ep 8: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...lden-witch/9/9 manga ep 3 after Eva shot Battler: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...i-episode-3/20 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...episode-3/20/2 I think I don’t even have to mention it anymore now. Its just 1+1 … I said I wouldnt force my interpretation on you, but if you please insert Battlers name for Anges in the scene after Ange opened the diary and when she wakes up in the Golden Land, and Beato instead of EVA/Eva, everything falls into place. The whole scene after Ange read the diary is how it happened with Battler , the scene in the Golden Land is happening at the end of Episode 5 after he reached the truth. Remember how he apologized when he came back to the game board? The same as “Ange” did in the scene mentioned above? The difference is only minimal, concerning Beato. Cause in the respective scene with Battler, she obviously couldnt have been there. And also she did something for him that she didnt do for Ange. Also there are some sentences in this scene if you think it refers only to Ange that you might not understand if you don’t see that this is all Battlers story. And most importantly!!! What completely !!!! (there cant be enough exclamation marks) changes the meaning of Beatos games…well you can see it here: Ep 2 what George says: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...episode-2/22/6 Ep 2, what Rosa says: http://www.mangareader.net/879-58360...hapter-20.html http://www.mangareader.net/879-58360...hapter-20.html what rosa says in the middle about a performance: http://www.mangareader.net/879-58361...hapter-21.html what battler thinks: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...episode-2/25/5 Ep 1 how Natsuhi reacts: http://www.mangareader.net/557-36737...hapter-16.html http://www.mangareader.net/557-36737...hapter-16.html and what she says: http://www.mangareader.net/557-44361...hapter-18.html Oh, maybe this scene can be understood better now: http://www.mangareader.net/557-44361...hapter-18.html and of course ep 4 when Battler realized that everyone acts as if they were in a play: http://mangafox.me/manga/umineko_no_...6/c027/15.html http://mangafox.me/manga/umineko_no_...6/c027/16.html also ep 1, the reaction of his family: http://www.mangareader.net/557-34563...hapter-13.html http://www.mangareader.net/557-34563...hapter-13.html or jessicas reaction and marias http://www.mangareader.net/557-36537...hapter-15.html http://www.mangareader.net/557-36537...hapter-15.html http://www.mangareader.net/557-36537...hapter-15.html |

If someones interested in it he can read it. I write for these people, and there are always some readers who dont write. Youre not interested in it, so I dont write for you.

Part 2
I said I would not force my theory on you, from this point on Ill just explain a bit, later there are other important implications, so if youd go on reading, Id be very happy. But first my explanation for these facts. Please bear with me a bit, I will explain later where the details are shown:
Giving up your own truth and the subsequent fall into the depth of oblivion My understanding: At some point someone told Battler the “truth” (-> its not the truth) about what happened on Rokkenjima. Battler had one belief until then: that was that someone from his family would come back to him. Yes, this is not only Anges wish. And when he heard of the same “truth” that Ange reads in ep 8, he abandoned his belief. And whats worse- he abandons his one truth about his family and how kind they were.. Its no wonder, he was away for 6 years after all: Ep 6: first panel: http://mangafox.me/manga/umineko_no_...6/c026/31.html Ep 8 Ange: Spoiler for vn quote:
Ep 4 Look at what battler about his weak-mindedness says: http://mangafox.me/manga/umineko_no_...6/c026/43.html At the end of Ep 4, Ange to Battler: Spoiler for quote vn:
And because the “truth” that he heard about Kyrie and Rudolf murdering everyone out of greed was “plausible”, he assumed that this was the truth. He easily gave up on his own truth that they could never murder everyone out of greed because he was weak-minded. And by that he replaced his truth with another one, the real truth was denied – something that Beato tries to stop from happening a second time in the court against Natsuhi. Anyways, if you want to use the metaphor umineko uses, you could say the red truth was shot at his heart and from this point on, he is dead/he stopped thinking -in any case, the same happens as what happens to Ange when she learns of the truth in ep 8. And he falls into the depth of oblivion, where he loses his memories, exactly as its said for Ange in ep 8. Some other scenes that show this: Ep 3 on the beach: Spoiler for vn quote:
Oh also the next scene from ep 1, look at his reaction once he starts to suspect kyrie and Rudolf (or other family members) in the first panel on the 2nd page: http://www.mangareader.net/557-36737...hapter-16.html http://www.mangareader.net/557-36737...hapter-16.html So his imagination is distorting his family in the games, but they all go along with it, trying to help him..Thats why Rosa apologizes and why everyone talks about a “play”. They are all acting for him and they all hope that he will reach the Golden Land (again! - that he'll REturn) one day. You can see in the Ange scene after she threw herself down the skyscraper, in what state he is. Battler loses his memories bit by bit, he also forgets his goals and he forgets his own name. That’s the Touya we see later-he only remembers his age. Also remember what Lambda says to Battler in ep 6 when he is about to be locked in the closed room: Spoiler for Quote vn:
But first things first – its pretty obvious now what the meta is. But Id rather mention the scenes again: The Meta - between dream and reality Ep 6 fight between Kyrie and Jessica: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 5 puppet-Beato: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 5 when Battler reaches the truth: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep6 when battler is still trapped in the logic error-room: Spoiler for quote vn:
So this is what the meta is – while Battler is in the same state that we see beato in in ep 5 when she gave up on life, or battler in ep 6 after he found out that there is no one left in the family who can help him get out of the room, the meta occurs simultaneously inside his mind. Its like a waking dream/some kind of nightmare. The ange scene mentioned under 2) makes it clear: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 6 Anges thoughts: Spoiler for quote vn:
He is in the meta playing the games without knowing how he got there. And he is having an endless nightmare. A propos: Ep 3: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-3/17/56 So this is all inside his head.But then, its not only in his head! Like it said in ep 6 – his consciousness is not completely gone. That’s why he notices, like Beato in ep 5, things that happen around him, but those things are warped, like the fantasy-layer is a warped version for the mystery-layer in Beaots games.Still, in his mind, Beato is there to help him, that’s why she arranges the games for Battler. And I FINALLY figured out the relationship between Beato and Sayo etc. and how she got into Battlers mind in the first place. But first I want to mention some other scenes: Not being able to speak http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/12/20 episode 6 kyrie in battlers game: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 6 when battler is in the creepy room: Spoiler for quote vn:
And if we take what is written in the Ange scene: Spoiler for quote vn:
They encourage "him (!) to speak, but he first has to get used to that again. So there are really many many hints that point to the fact that Battler in reality cant really speak. This too – ep 6 end of marriage: Spoiler for quote vn:
Im lazy...to be continued later... Last edited by Inbuiltx9; 2015-04-13 at 14:48. |

Part 3
Rudolf and Kyrie are not the culprits
Theres still soooo much stuff, but I think one of the most important implications is that Rudolf and Kyrie are not the culprits! Im sorry, I had a discussion about this earlier and there, I just said that because there is no game-master in ep 7 tea-party, that had to be the truth. I was completely wrong! And I was even insulted by Ryukishi for that XD Ill mention the scenes: Ikuko ep 8: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 8 – when Erika counters the Rudolf-family-culprit-theory: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 7 Will to Bern: Spoiler for quote vn:
And he is right with that. There are no clues. But there are clues that hint at something different. But first: Ep 7 tea party: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 8: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 5- Beato: Spoiler for quote vn:
Later ep 5 – when Natsuhi is framed: Spoiler for quote vn:
Ep 6 Dlanor to Erika: Spoiler for quote vn:
The mixture of truths and lies is often mentioned. Virgilia also says that when Natsuhi is framed - that not everything what Erika says is wrong. Rudolf and Kyrie killing everyone is not a lie! But they are not the culprits! And here I still have to be careful, because there is one clue that I still have to find (Edit: nope, now I already found it). Anyways, Im pretty sure we can say: Rudolf and Kyrie are the same as everyone else in the games before - they are accomplices. But the way I see it is that they aren’t exactly doing it because they want to do it. Will says there are no clues for Rudolf and Kyrie being the culprits, but there are hints for other facts: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-4/19/34 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...pisode-4/15/58 + the fact (shown in the pages I linked above with Natsuhi and Rosa) that a mother in the Ushiromiya family would do anything for her child http://www.mangareader.net/557-44361...hapter-18.html what kumasawa says in the first panel: http://www.mangareader.net/557-44361...hapter-18.html And now there are two very important clues in Battlers game ep 6: In Battlers game, he himself Battler is the culprit (theres still also a different reason actually why he is the culprit), and all the women die. Its mentioned by the way that all the women in Umineko are witches – Rosa with her black witch, EVA and Natsuhi with her Beato delusions, Jessica is also a witch in her band. But what about Kyrie? Even if we say Kyrie didn’t know in ep 4 already that Battler was her own child, I think ep 4 shows that she indeed accepted Battler into the family and as her child- completely different from what ep 7 tea party shows us. I guess all the hints with the mothers protecting their children show exactly that – that Kyrie did the same in prime. And I don’t think I have to mention all the countless clues that show that Rudolf is really doing everything he can for Battler – looking out for him even when he was hated, paying everything for him, trying to visit him when Battler was living at his grandparents house, kneeling before him to ask him to get back. So it even was kinda Rudolfs responsibility that Battler came back. A more important clue follows later though. Rudolf ep 7, tea party: Spoiler for quote vn:
The last clue for now: Ange got a letter from Beatrice – which was meant as a compensation for the bereaved of her accomplices, cause they would die anyways. We know that Beato lets her “pieces” act within a cetain role. And its also literally mentioned that Rudolf plays the part of the murderer. Kyrie takes over the role of the “murderer” too. At the end she is only called that, she is no longer “Kyrie”.The true culprit is the same as always: its Sayo. But the question remains WHY they would do something like that. And I guess we can answer that, but first theres another question. Ep 8: In the interlude with Ikuko, Touya says he was tricked by the ring in Ikukos story and that this matter was hinted at early in the story. I think this hint is still missing and I haven’t found it yet (Edit: no I did find it), but my question is: How would Eva have gotten the ring of the Ushiromiya head? That’s how it is presented in Anges story, but how would Eva have gotten this ring? In the tea-party its never mentioned that she took the ring from Sayos finger. And it was reasoned that the ring is always transferred from the head to the successor. I really have to find this certain clue in the first games (edit: found it already XD), but here are the clues in the later games that Eva never got the ring. I know this has huge consequences…But I guess we have to take a look at what Virgilia says: the future is formed according to this last truth... Battler= the new and last family head Now for the why Rudolf and Kyrie would murder everyone (at least the first part of the reason) Keep in mind that Beato WANTED Battler to solve the epitaph, now her reaction+battlers: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/10/10 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/10/23 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/10/24 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/10/25 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/10/26 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...olden-witch/11 And also this: http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/11/37 http://www.mangareader.net/umineko-n...en-witch/11/38 It kinda sounds like Battler found the gold in prime. He had the potential anyways, and when he still had all of his memories he was better with solving riddles. It could also have been that Sayo gave him tips as was shown in ep 5 (but here I really have to find the clue how exactly that happened) There are other clues that show that this really happened. I also want to mention a certain scene. If I don’t mention where its from, it sounds like someone found the gold: Spoiler for quote vn:
This is Bernkastel being led to Featherines home btw. Another is the one I already mentioned - in ep 6, when Battler proves that he understood Beato, he makes himself the culprit. That’s the first “truth”. And see how in ep 5 he has a bad concience because he knows how his family will react. Also Erika in ep 5 to Beato:” So you have no need to worry. Battler-san isn’t the culprit.” And when Beato suggests in ep 5 court that Battler could be the culprit, she apologizes to him. I guess this shows that Battler somehow is responsable for what happened. And we have Ange saying: “Rudolf, Kyrie, Battler-Onii-chan, they are all victims. Its noones fault” once she reads the book of the Single Truth. She includes Battler there. Whatever exactly happened – this I still have to find out because with this Im not yet completely convinced - theres still a clue that independently from all that shows that Battler became the family head. And the clue that shows what happened in prime. Last edited by Inbuiltx9; 2015-04-13 at 17:08. |
