Let's recap what happened in episode I-II. We have six people killed in the shed with huge magic circle draw on it's shutter. The last time we saw them alive is around 22.00 or 23.00 of 4th October 1986. The locations are as shown in the anime.
Now it is time to serve some question to new viewers. Wild speculation is allowed, try to use your most creative imagination. 1. Does the 19th person exist on Rokkenjima? 2. Who gave an umbrella and a letter to Maria? 3. Who killed those six people? 4. Why the culprit damaged the heads of victims? 5. If you notice, there're some heads that only half smashed. Why the culprit did not smash the head completely as other corpses? 6. Why drew such a magic circle?

After reading the Epitaph again, I was sure that 6 people were going to die that night. What I'm curious about though is this line.
"He who lays hand upon the key shall travel under the rules below." I'm sure a lot more would be clear if.... 1.: We knew what the Key is 2: The one who "laid their hand" upon it. At this point I can't be TO sure who would do it but I'm sure it wasn't Maria, seeing as how she was sleeping for the remainder of the night. And I'm absoloutley sure it wasn't any of the kids. My most likely suspects at the moment are Eva and Hideyoshi.

My question is: will only 13 actually die? Having seen Higurashi, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole cast dies off >_> |

I should clarify, my silly little theory is that the 5 who survive until the 9th night are Natsuhi, Battler, Jessica, Maria, and George. However the epitaph makes it pretty clear that nobody survives after the 9th night except Beatrice and possibly the one who holds the key. It's not likely that in the first arc someone is going to make it to the 10th night and find the gold, so Natsuhi (the key holder) will be the last to die on the 9th night. Nobody makes it to the 10th night, and that will be the end of the arc.
Of course it's even more likely that what I've predicted is totally wrong, but it sounds good. I'm sure when all is said and done something random will come out of left field like the Himanizawa Syndrome which explains everything that was going on. Since the Chiru chapters are not yet completed, I'm sure even the VN readers don't know what really is the root cause of the events yet since only one chapter (Episode 5) has been released of the solutions. |

From what I seen so far, I highly doubt Beatrice exists. There are 18 ppl in the house so if someone outside is wandering around, surely someone must've caught it. Unless Beatrice is truly a witch who can pop out of nowhere behind Maria and kill all those ppl with her supernatural power. But then that's not really a mystery element anymore which I think is what the series is going for.
