Then why don't we make a list of possible solution for the final riddle? There can't be too many of them. I think they can be divide in four main branches:
Natural disaster: Volcano Typhoon Landslide Posthumous human cause: Trap Venom Metaphorical interpretation: Lonelines Madness Belief Non human living being cause: Animal Sickness The fourth is null if Eva-Beato's red truth applies to all games. "No one is alive except you" clearly only refer to humans, since trees and insects certainly exist on Rokkenjima. Can you think about anything else?

Why didn't Ange ever talk to someone who knows about volcanos, or someone who believed the volcano theory. If the volcano theory was such the widespread belief, then why did she fail to investigate from that side also, when she was trying to investigate from every angle? Quote:

If the police knew it was a volcano, there would be no reason to question Eva, if "everyone", as you said, believed this explanation, then there would be no reason to doubt Eva. Escaping a natural disaster and living, even though other people didn't is not a crime. Yes it's true, Eva was the only known survivor and recieved a lot from it, however, all that is only circumstancal. You can't convict someone just because of such evidence. They would have to find actual proof. This also means, they would have to proove that they were the only people on the island. This is easy for us to know, because we have the red. However, the police do not. They cannot say for a fact that someone didn't "sneak onto the island before the typhoon and killed everyone but Eva, who had solved the riddle and escaped." There are not even any witness to say "I saw Eva, such and such". With such evidence as you're saying they should have arrested Eva for, I can suspect everyone: Ange, who was apprantly sick, could easily sneak on the island and kill everyone. She too recieved a lot of money. (I know she was 6, but I'm just making a point.) Okonogi, who, once Eva recieved all the money, became someone who she trusted, and he was also able to live comfortably. He was apprantly close friends to Eva and Hideyoshi also, so he probably knew they were going to the island. Ootsuki, who became very famous due to his position as a witch hunter. He was into the occult before this, so he might have been friends with Kinzo and he could have heard of the family conference. I could keep going, but I think that's enough to proove my point. Just because "it was possible and the suspect recieved something significant because of their deaths" does not proove that they murdered the people. It's as you said, we have no idea how harsh the questioning on Eva was. It might have been as you said, only a series of questions, or it might have been a harsh questioning where they try to get something out of her and fail. However, I absolutly fail to see why they would question Eva at all. If the bodies were "burned to bones and a jaw", as you say, and especially if they were reduced to ashes, as should be with a volcano, there would be absolutely no proof that this was anything but a natural disaster, so there is no reason to question Eva in the first place. |

About why she believes everyone was murdered I admit you have a point. I can only explain with her hatred towards Eva, but I admit is a weak argument. Quote:
You see my assumption is that the narration is concealing anything about this. Yes you can say it's a trick but isn't it true that movie like "the sixth sense" and "the others" do play on showing the spectators partial informations so to prevent them to think about what it is actually happening?

As for my personal opinon, it has been so since Episode 1, I believe the person carrying out the murders is human, however, magic exists.
And possily, the Beatrice Battler is fighting is a real witch, trying to take claim for the crimes. Spoiler for Episode 4 Hidden Tea Party:

Yeah, Lovelysan... that does seem to be the dark unspoken question, doesn't it?
Beatrice: Yes, Battler, if you prove I do not exist, you and your family will be released. Battler: ...Alive? Beatrice: Oh look, shiny penny! My guess is that Battler will prove that there was no magic involved, and the game will end with only him surviving. However, he then starts to believe in Beatrice, who is then revived by belief, and will revive his family for him. That, or something similar will happen just before the end of the game, Battler conceding defeat to Beatrice, but every getting released alive regardless. Sure, it's a happy happy ending... but I like happy endings :P |

In a sense, the setup allows for him to choose a reality, and I think in the end he'll find one where everyone can get a happy ending. |
