No the most unexpected culprit would be the elementary school girl Maria to be honest. And if she really was all Ryukishi would have to say is: "Well the stories were all signed 'Ushiromiya Maria' the whole time and she was one the most knowledgeable people on the occult. You should've expected this twist was coming.".

Jessica, at least, has both the means and the opportunity to be behind several murders, especially in Ep2, like I keep stressing. |

Unexpected yes, but also an illogical one. She appears to lacks the characteristics to lead a group of people to kill, so for her to be the culprit, she'd have to be the sole culprit, something I dismiss due to it's impossibility. And out of all the characters, she's one of the few that don't seem to cling to the reasonable motives for murder. She doesn't have the desire for money that the adults have, she doesn't hate all of the family, only the adults when they're squabbling for money, and she has no reason to be jealous (unless Shkanon is true, in which she'd be jealous towards both George and Battler) to the point of killing. However, she has shown to be willing to kill if she feels threatened (and possibly when very annoyed, if we're to take her Falcon Punch scene from Episode 6 to have any merit of truth). So I place her as a very possible assistant.

Also Crooked House is another Agatha Christie book and Ryu's a Christie junkie. Your not helping your case very well.

Considering that it's very likely for the First Letter to originate long before the game starts (while Kinzo is alive, even) and be written by either Kumasawa or Genji (the suspicious use of "Kinzo-sama" that only Ronove and Virgilia use) Jessica doesn't have to do that, either.

He has so little development that it's kind of hard to assign any sort of motive to him. He also has the disadvantage of being a First Twilight in two out of the first four games. Most serious culprit theories deal with someone who did not die immediately in at least two games.

And being on it does not indicate her ability. For starters, we're never told the quality of her job as president. Second, a council is exactly that: a council. The members work together to determine a plausible solution or idea, then the president is the one who presents it. They may have some importance while on the council but their secondary job is the figurehead of the council. |

I completely agree, but I don't know if Ryukishi could write anything about him that isn't boring. Unless he's Yakuza of course. He just doesn't have much back story. His character is essentially Nanjo if he was in love with stories about war time.

That's right Hideyoshi goes practically unnoticed, but that's exactly what an author that aims for the "less expected culprit" would try to do.
However I don't think ryuukishi would do that.

Hey, this came to my mind this afternoon but. Didn't Virgillia or someone say that the true master of the island was born 18 years ago? maybe the blonde from the portrait is the true master, considering she/he [can't really tell imo] has the eagle. I don't know. And maybe the guy is Witch-hunting Wright or her/his bodyguard? Just thought Id put m thoughts here for the fact i might forget them later,

Oh. i see. I got to go back and re-play the games. Master of the gameboard? hm. alright then. well I did't expect my sort of theory thing to go so well on any rate. Though it makes you think on why he/she has the eagle and the guy dosen't.

Since Beatrice is 1000 years old from 6 years of torture couldn't BATTLER be 19 years old from 5 games of torture? We beleive BATTLER and Battler are essentially completely different people at this point right?
