you are right that "nokosareshi mono" is not necessarily plural, it could be singular.

It's interesting to take the crest into consideration while talking about the killings; this is a list of people who have the crest.

the 4 siblings
krauss,eva,rudolf,rosa.

the 4 children
jessica, george, battler and maria.

kinzo and his furniture.
kinzo,genji,kanon,shannon.

This really is off the top of my head but; has anyone ever tried transcribing the epitaph in Katakana? Given Kinzo's love of western culture and the typical purpose of Katakana, I imagine it would be worth a look at least.

BTW, I'm not too good with Kanji and Hiragana and stuff, but doesn't 高 = Takai, which can be taken to mean "The next life" or something to that effect?

I'm not sure if it is important or not but I'm going to transcribe it for the heck of it, and because I'm bored. I think this should be correct but I'm not 100% sure about everything, anyway I double checked some parts that were actually read in the anime, too bad they didn't read the whole thing.

MY Kanji-fu is weak but in "At the first twilight, you shall lift up as sacrifice the six chosen by the key.", could "the six" be referring to Rokkenjima itself? According to the kanji discussion, its name means "six house/property island".

Not much help, I know.

Key? Does "軒" also mean key? I always thought it stands for house.

No, 鍵 can be read/pronounced as "ken" too, the same with 軒. Though the meaning is different overall, as 鍵 as "けん" is actually piano keys (i.e, used mainly in music. Too bad my English related to music is nearly 0 to be able to say it properly. ). Anyway, the point is that he put the general meaning of kanji 鍵 which is "key" to change 軒 as both can be read as "ken".

From the latest anime episode, Eva's thoughts that we were allowed to see were regarding the true meanings of:
-鮎の川 (ayu no kawa) Sweetfish river
-里 (sato) Village
-岸 (kishi) Shore

Those might be the only important clues needed to solve.

As matteas said, herculysse's theory does not tell you where the hidden mansion is so I give it a 10 out of 10 for creativity but I don't think it's the right answer.

Allright, it looks like studio DEEN decided to cut all the parts that concerns the epitaph solution.


Spoiler for anime episode 14:


This is like what happened with episode1 were the discussion about the epitaph (during the pic nic) was almost completely cut.

Anyway this thread was created mainly for the sake of those anime viewers that still want to know all the hints related to the epitaph that aren't shown in the anime. So this was kinda expected (although not to such extent...).

So I'm going to summarize the discussion that was cut and the subsequent Eva's reasonings. I'm not going to post the whole thing like I did for episode1 because this time is waaay longer and there's a lot of chit chat in between. I will quote the most relevant sentences, as usual with the translation provided by witch hunt


Spoiler for Game Eisode 3 Epitaph discussion:


Eva's reasonings:

Spoiler for Novel Episode3 epitaph:


I end here for now, I will probably add something else after episode 15 and I'll add my personal thoughts. Until then have fun with the epitaph!
