Ahh, that would explain it. Thanks.

Actually that shouldn't be a problem as "Golden Witch" is just a title. Furthermore, she would still have her second title as "Endless Witch". She just wouldn't have the titel to materialize gold anymore.

Hmm. If that is the case, it would be possible that it is something like "The Return of the Golden Witch"

[k//eternal]

That's what I was thinking, or "Rebirth of the Golden Witch", or something along those lines.

[Volcanic]

I don't think it will be "Rebirth" but instead something more...mysterious. But I do think the events in this game, whatever they may be, will give us a vague answer.

[ghost_zero5]

@k//eternal:
However, even if that is the case, it doesn't mean that Beato will be the Golden Witch again. As it is a title another witch could have gotten it too. Of course, this will probably not be the case but it would be possible too.

@Volcanic:
Very likely
Though it is still some time for this game to be released and until the translation is done it will be even longer.

[Keriaku]

Desecration of the Golden Witch?

There're lots of other title possibilities.

[Saerianne]

Even though all the titles so far have had a relevance to that specific game, it could just be called 'End of the Golden Witch' to specify the beginning of her downfall.

Alright, we've got EP5 jacket art.

Spoiler for pic:

Looks pretty normal except...what's with that very familiar blue-eyed girl behind Battler...
Also notice the hazy border around the characters. Battler and the real ChiBeato seem to be sharing the same one.

Edit: Whoa, that picture's huge

wow, pretty *_*

Bern...s...smiles?! That's a new one.
Beato seems so innocent here.

[Jan-Poo]

Bern is smiling!!!!

And what's with that Battler's catlike expression?

The new girl really seems to have a central role in this next episode.

[Christen]

Looks we're going back to CD format for now. It's quite small for a cover art. If it's the case, I'm thinking how they'll fit the sound files here. Maybe we'll get a new soundtrack with some of the original ones gone.

[Volcanic]

Wow.

Spoiler for EP5 Cover:

....Chibibe is adorable when she's smiling. Maybe she's not TOO evil after all. Could they have made the OP purposely misleading? *dun dun dun*

Also, Bern is smiling. WOWZ. Never expected they'd put that on the cover. Whatever, she's officially evil. xD

Gah, Battler\Beato is looking more and more canon. I guess Ryukshi-sama got tired of all the open-ended couples in Higurashi and is going to try to tie up all the romantic loose ends here...OR NOT. xD

EDIT:

Spoiler for EP5 Cover Again:

Hey, looks like the pink border is Chibibe and the yellow border is in fact both Beato and Battler. That's interesting...I say Beato's officialy joined the good side, or we're gonna have the end of EP3 on a MUCH larger scale.

If I'm not mistaken, both Episode 2 and 3 were on a DVD. However, they still used jewel cases for them.

Nice cover by the way.

[Nyura Kousen]

Spoiler for Cover:

What!? Bern smiling? Something must be wrong here. Beato in the same side as Battler... it certainly looks like an interesting episode. Also, new girl looks like a very important character.

Spoiler for Speculation (EP4 spoilers?):

I just remembered something.
Back in EP1, Battler said something about goats and calling Kinzo "Goldsmith". Result? We get goats and Goldsmith.
In EP4, Battler told Beato something like "If I said I like long blue-haired, flat chested lolis, what would you do?"
And now we have a flat-chested loli with long, blue hair.

Ah, in that case, I guess we're still in DVD. Though I hope they do go back to the DVD case when they reach the last episode.

Probably will. My bet is that they're only doing jacket casing because it's one episode. They didn't do dvd casing until EP 3 if I remember right.

Spoiler for In response to what she said, same spoilers::

Whoa. That brings up a whole new theory- Battler controls the game, in a sense, from small things he says.

Or it's just foreshadowing. xDD

Spoiler for ep4:

Yeah i remember that , i'm sure this girl has something to do with this stupid quote and the Rose. (or maybe it is just a coincidence .. Even if.. I don't believe, with Ryukishi). At first i thought this was a joke about Rika from higurashi but right now that i see this girl i wonder too

I do believe Battler-chan said black hair XDDD But that's still a possibility, as black hair and blue hair aren't usually distinguished in anime/manga/etc.^^;
