I mean, he was an accomplice in Dawn, too, and we have WAY less information on whatever the hell was going on there. Quote:
Oh wow, that is MARVELOUS. And Natsuhi can just claim she lied about meeting him in his study because he'd ordered her to, on pain of massive dishonor. |

DNA testing may or may not have been in widespread use by then, and may or may not have been very reliable. However they could probably identify the presence of blood pretty easily. More importantly that would take a long time, be physically difficult AND require no-one to notice the body you had round and were slowly stripping. Grinding teeth and bones ain't easy, I think they just left them in sky burials.

And if, after nearly 2 years the police notices that hey, someone replaced the wood, you can always say the previous one was in bad conditions and Kinzo, even through didn't use that house and pier anymore, ordered to keep it in good conditions. |

Because apparently nobody on the goddamn island has a freaking typewriter. Perhaps Natsuhi could cut characters out of the newspaper to string together, then add a "p.s. I've taken up newspaper collage ransom letters as a hobby. You wouldn't put it past me!"

"I will now test all blood and other bodily fluids... manually. This level of depravity is possible for Furudo Erika. What do you think, everyone?"
Followed by the sound of a dozen chairs sloooooooowly sliding away from her.

Back on Topic, it is pretty strange that a body would have been kept for over a year for the sake of the murder games. Where would Genji and/or Yasu keep Kinzo? How popular is the "The strange smells in Kinzo's room is the smell of death/ embalming chemicals" theory? It makes sense, but I really can't think of much else. It's probably not important though...

Secondly who said it was embalmed? That's not an easy thing to do. On an island like this isn't it more likely that they buried him somewhere in the forest, away from the house? There might even be a crypt in the chapel or something. Likely someone went and dug it up. After all, it is hard to tell how decomposed a burnt body is. Also the smell of death would be very hard to disguise, and I'm not sure how long it would last. If he was decaying in there though Erika would have found some signs of it when they searched the study in episode 5. As for Shannon and Kanon closed the door, technically they do everything together. What would have been wrong is if Shannon closed the door at the same time as Kanon pouring the tea. |

Well, I'm not sure Knox should even be applied. Episode 5 isn't a Mystery, right? But an anti-Mystery what with the multiple solutions ending, right?
And by the most accepted interpretation of the truth about the episode, not once did Erika do any investigating of any actual crimes, or do any investigating of fake crimes that would actually light on the fact they were fake. Meanwhile, the truth about ShKanon wasn't even relevant to anything Erika investigated in EP5. So is the storyteller even under any Knoxical obligation in EP5 to have the detective hint about ShKanon in the first place? |

I dunno ... to me, it sort of read like Erika deigned to solve those first 6/7 murders, but like ... on the claim that she ONLY needed information from the first 10 chapters of a 30 chapter book. So long as they aren't refuted by the GM later, it's possible for there to be multiple truths ... but there certainly at least should have been an "intended" single truth. Alsooooo, I was looking at the list of Extra TIPS to skim the Anti-Mystery article, and saw this "17 year old Angels" one? From pretty recently, apparently? All I could find on it, and I copy-paste from the tumblr post, "I-in a nutshell, it’s about Ange and Virgilia running an Umineko BL doujinshi circle together, and getting into fights/debates/brainstorming sessions about what kinds of pairings they want to do (Kinzo/Genji vs Genji/Kinzo, Gohda/Kanon vs Kanon/Gohda, Will/Lion vs Lion/Will, Hideyoshi in general, etc…)—and making the characters act out their scenarios, usually to their horror." Where is this. Why arent I reading it right now. WHY ARENT I READING IT. RIGHT. NOW. |

Just because the "17 year old Angels" TIP has Lion and Will among the BL pairings Ange and Virgilia listed doesn't mean that Lion is confirmed as male. It might be a hint from Ryukishi, but then again, it might not.
Does the manga really confirm Lion as female? I know the person scanlating it at first chose to go with female (and later corrected the scan to be gender neutral), but that wasn't based on anything firm in canon. Was there something in a chapter later on which makes Lion much more likely to be a woman? The fact Genji worried that Kinzo might make the same mistake again doesn't confirm anything either. Reason being that Kinzo is not the sanest person out there. There would still be a serious risk of him harming Lion. He thought that Moetrice was Bice reincarnated; what's to say that Beatrice's most recent "reincarnation" having a male body would stop him? |
