Prologue:
Maybe I'm taking it too serious but, Ange bumping on Battler left me
.
Well,
Just thinking too much I guess.
[b]Chapter 01[b]
From that stuff of not trusting anyone (recall: Walgiria at end of EP3) I was already seeing Bernkastel coming. Even so, I'm not thinking Bern too much evil, even with the ??? section.
And they did not explore that whole stuff of Gretel+Hansel. It was a pity that there was not much Ange+Battler x Beato in the whole Episode4...
Chapter02
In this chapter Maria explain the origin of the name Sakutaro. And make it clear she dropped the 'u' from the end, yet, there's a bunch of time they insisted saying Sakutarou (like Beatrice turning him into a boy). When I read those parts I wondered about that, but I guess I'm thinking over insignificant stuff either.
It's also interesting (or sad
) Maria's ideas about the bullied kids and how noble their mission is.
Chapter 03
I was so sure this Okonogi was evil...
well, you can't see the truth if there's no love...
Chapter 04
At the end we know that Kinzo is dead from the beginning of the game and here we have a crazed and super-strong Kinzo bullying Krauss in Natsuhi's presence.
What the heck does it mean? Could it be Krauss the heir of Kinzo's name and here he is bullying his old self, the loser who is lead by the nose by the siblings?
Chapter 05
Not much here to comment other than Sakutarou x Sakutaro paranoia.
Chapter 06
Now things get hot here. The two bottles messages and the possibility of more that got lost in the sea. It gets pretty obvious here that everything was prepared beforehand and it was not Maria who wrote the messages as the handwriting doesn't match with her other items. Furthermore it matches with the 'Beatrice' who used to write in Maria's notebok (To my beloved witch apprentice).
Someone who was close to Maria from before 1986.
From EP2, and others, we know that Maria used to meet with 'Beatrice' during the family meetings from years ago.
Furthermore, the two of them created the Mariage Sorcery (at first I thought, it would be Mariage = Maria+Ange. Maybe?)
Also, by Maria's diary, after her fight with Ange, it was implied that she became gradually more and more evil.
In both scripts, Eva was supposed to be a victim, could this be a innocence proof for Eva?
Chapter 08
AS I said in my other post, I think the confrontation of Ange against the stakes, Sakutaro and Maria here, in St. Lucia, is like a replay of her fight with Maria before Rokkenjima incident in 1986. It would make more sense with the chapter where Maria (real world) is pretty angry with Ange.
Chapter 10
Here, Amakusa was carrying his 'stakes'.
Chapter 11
Ok. Here we had the bloodbath.
And this line from Gretel:
いずれにせよ。@たとえ頭部が半壊していたとしても、現時点では彼らが死んだと見なすべきでは ないわ
If this is true, some of the dead would be still alive for some time after that and their identities would be the demons Gaap (since she looks like a bitch, she would be Rosa) and Ronowe (Obviously Genji. He even stated that Genji was his 依り代(receptacle?).). Thus, they could be the examiners of George and Jessica later.
From EP3, it was quite obvious that Kumasawa = Walgiria. And now with all that clumsiness in the escape of Kyrie's group and her mackerel jokes, I have little doubt. And Gohda would be the Goathead
(that goathead remembering his past and raising defeat-flags was funny, but maybe there's something deeper there, about Gohda's past, or not?)
Chapter 12
Only comment: Rosa is more of a child than Maria.
[b]Chapter 13[b]
The part that left me
was the talk about the golden village between Shannon and Kanon. All the time the said things like 'This time', 'Last time'...
今回は黄金郷に、………行けるかな
今回はベアトリーチェさまがお越しにならないし
下手な期待を持つと、また付け込まれる
前回は嘉音くんが付け込まれたもんね
In my head, I thought:"Are they talking about the other episodes?"
And in EP2 Kinzo said the something similar too:
前回のような無様は晒さぬぞ。
It's also funny that it seems that Ronowe and Gaap get along pretty well... suspicious... Genji is not very sociable... could it be that the demons are the real selves of their respective receptacles/依り代? (in that case, Kumasawa would be very honest with herself
)
Chapter 14
So that mysterious number from EP3 was a safe password. The first half was Battler's birthday. Could it be that the other half was 'Beatrice''s birthday.
At first, I thought those strange letters->bank->money were like a reward from 'Beatrice' to pay for Nanjo and Kumasawa's 'services' during the massacre.
It would be interesting to see if other families received it too, like Gohda, Genji, Fukuin House...
Since they mentioned that the bank was quite high-tech, 'Beatrice' is very rich or is supported by rich people, most probably Kinzo. And they insist on Beatrice's whimsical nature here with that story of the minicar ('A prank is more thrilling when you don't know who will get caught and if someone will' - What would link to the multiple message bottles).
And what the heck did Ange see at the end of this chapter?
Did anyone understand? I replayed it sometimes to see if a background image would flash quickly but nothing...
Amakusa says:
見えるのは、ただの陳列棚です。@誰もいやしませんぜ…？
What the heck...
Could it be some item from the Ushiromiya or just ...Magic?
「……理解したわ。@お姉ちゃん。
……そして、……………ベアトリーチェ。」
Chapter 16
Jessica punching Ronowe roolz...
ちなみに、さっきのは乙女としての回答な。@……次期当主としての回答は、別だぜ
Each time I have more trouble to imagine how Ryuukishi will explain all the magical mess in this Episode, specially Kanon+Shannon blocking the Siestas firing...
Walgiria was priceless here
But the information I like here was about Krauss, from Nanjo
無茶苦茶だ、蔵臼さん…！@ あ、あんたがボクシングをやってたことは知っているが、それでも大学時代のは ず…。
Now we know that Eva has martial arts knowledge (Capoeira, Taekwondo) and Krauss knows some Boxing skills.
And the part about Jessica saying she would be a corpse with half head blown when Battler came...
But Kyrie saying to Battler believe the Demons really left me with
. I really suspected her here, even more with that possibility that her baby was swapped...
Chapter 17
Ok. If we consider that everything that Battler sees we can trust more than the others, here he definietly met a woman he doesn't know. And with the red text that there's only 17 people in the island it pretty much implies one of the women of the family/servants in disguise here, since so far the deaths are not confirmed at all (except for George).
As for the sin of 6 years ago... There's a lot of stuff that happened 6 years ago...
Battler abandoned the Ushiromiya name.
Asumu died.
Ange was Born.
Satoko's parents died... ops...
Have no idea
The she disappeared and probably became one of the corpses of the other 16 people...like suicide, deception with Battler's lack of memory (it must have been a grave sin...)
Chapter 18
The information of the captain pretty much matches with Rosa's story from EP3.
There was a person being kept in the island around 1967 and the captain used to transport to the secret harbour high class feminine items. Then Genji in person asked him to not come anymore and not talk about the secret mansion/harbour
And all the explanation about Maria's magic was really good. And the origin of the Uh-Uh too. And the white witches and black witches.
The stake's slaughter here pretty much implies Amakusa playing the sniper. Then Magic would be like, faith? Believe in the companions?
Unfortunately it also seems that Ange met her end there too...
Tea Party
Man,
I do not learn... I even felt sorry for Beato being beaten...
And her last couple of lines were killers.
この島にあなたはたった一人。そしてもちろん、私はあなたではない。なのに私は今、ここにいて、これからあ なたを殺します。
I really felt Battler is nowhere near solving anything...
And the ??? section with Lamda's homo tendencies was
Her red truth did not surprised much too. Battler's blue truth were quite absurd to tell the truth
And by the way it ended I really have the impression that Beato (or her 'receptacle') will end up becoming one of the good guys and both sides, erh, winning. Like making love = magic, so both Battler and Beato wins and the homo couple loses...
I try to work out some theories later...
