Kinzo's corpse is supposedly always burned, making facial recognition an impossibility, but his toes still remain. And only members of the Ushiromiya could know of him having 6 toes, so possibly, only them could "guarantee" his corpse.

Well supposing he did embellish anything it'd be about his guarantee not that the corpse is Kinzo's. But even if he couldn't guarantee it's Kinzo's corpse that doesn't mean it still isn't Kinzo's corpse.

Battler might have been the detective in Episodes 1-4, but he didn't have the detective's authority. One possible proof of this is the 1st twilight in Episode 1. Natsuhi moved to block Battler's sight of the corpses, when Battler wanted to see them. If Battler had the detective's authority, if she tried to spread her arms to block his vision, she'd be compelled not to. Like what happened with the people trying to stop Erika in the 1st twilight of Episode 5.
Another two related questions are: "Can the detective's authority have any meaning if Knox's Decalogue isn't in effect?" "Was Knox's Decalogue in effect for Episodes 1-4?" |

When everyone tried to stop Erika in Ep5, well, they tried - it was only until she invoked her authority were they made to stop. So I think the pieces are allowed to try and get in the way of a person with Detective Authority, but it's of course futile until they invoke it. IIRC, Natsuhi was really trying to stop all the cousins from looking at the bodies, but she's just one person and it was futile just by the nature of the situation. |

Interesting news about the EP7 red: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...07#post3400607 ("Bern might have been saying 'This is the truth...or at least, I'd like it to be'"). Who knows if the interview is genuine, though.

Considering this, the only way to accept Kyrie and Rudolf can do what they did (it's not just them; all siblings seemed to have little regard for their family's lives), is to believe they are evil and stupid. They killed their family, risked their lives, and killed their chances of getting much more than 1 billion yen with those 10 tons of gold, for a card worth some money. How did Kyrie and Rudolf even know the explosives and card work? Why would they trust Shannon, who just appeared from nowhere? But they have 10 ton gold in front of their eyes, and they give it up!There are so many holes in this story I find it hard to believe anyone would consider it true. Quote:

Also, while $10M is quite a large on a personal scale, it's a small amount as far as businesses go. I think a typical budget for a TV anime is $100K per episode, so it might cover about 4 seasons at the quality of Umineko.

It wasn't explained as in detail as the key disappearing from the key ring, but we could just safely assume that it was Shannon who pushed her down the stairs. Could've been the case if she didn't see anyone behind her or if it was a night shift.
