These are the main Van Dine rule Ryukishi makes fun of I think

By contrast, we're speculating on a character who apparently does not exist in any episode. It's possible it was someone pulled out of thin air, but there is at least evidence of a character with a similar name. I suppose the easiest thing would be to just have somebody like chrontorig ask them. But I don't know if that contact is still as tight after BT's death, and he might not want to say since it was cut (or delayed, or incomplete) content. The only other thing I can think of is that it refers to some intended special effect, but since it's calling image files that don't exist at all, that's unlikely. Plus effects go in /efe/. |

Kaisos, he made Virgil, who if I'm right was originally male, into a female. He took both names of the fallen male angel and turned them into the names of some interestingly clothed girls. Ryuukishi loves to play to his otaku fanbase's pervertedness, so I'd be more surprised if we got another male fantasy character beside Ronove and one of the trap twins. Unless it was Dlanor's father.

The Sumadera are quite clearly a sort of Yakuza group. So the 13rd rule has been broken already, unless it only works in the limit of Beatrice's story.

In the first case we will never know. In the second case the probability of it being Light is the same as being Wright. there is no rule saying that new characters need to have been hinted before.

I mean, it's a common mystery technique to hint at the involvement of secret societies that aren't really involved. The victim being a Freemason or something, when he was really killed by a jilted lover, that sort of thing. |

Besides Bern said in episode 5 that Beatrice was already dead in episode 4. Her body exists in a comatose doll like state due to Lambda's shackle rule, but she's still described as being dead.

Still, I won't be surprised if there's two or three new meta characters in Episode 7. |

Plus he probably just wants to draw new outfits. That's the only explanation for Zepar and Furfur I can come up with because jeez. |

The consistency of the meta and magic world is not something to take too seriously, I think. Remember, the magic world is blatantly contradictory, and the meta-world seems to play fast and loose with character relationships. I wouldn't be able to say whether that's a writer issue or a narrative issue.
