Erika destroyed Beato's heart. Who else can claim that?

Erika...

Umineko Episode 6 thread, take 2. Old thread is autosaging.

Shkannon has been made so obvious in this game -- on every account -- that IMO it cannot possibly be true. R07 has repeatedly set up obvious theories and cast them down, over and over. I don't think the obvious theory has ever been right even once.

But if Shkannon isn't true, how can Battler get out of his closed room?

Uuuu~~~

Well, thanks anyway.

It's Erika.

I heard a rather interesting theory recently from the 2ch side of things that came up due to the red text at the end of episode 6:

Nice to meet you, hello! I am Furudo Erika, a detective!! I may be an uninvited guest, but please welcome me!! I am the visitor, the eighteenth human on Rokkenjima!!
[We're very sorry, but] even if we welcome you, the number of people is seventeen.

Erika was never alive. She washed up to the shore dead. She never existed.

Apparently it is possible to argue this without violating red text.

Thoughts?

Actually, I'm the detective. OP is the same buttmad /bun/ and Dawson spammer from this moring, as well as every poster ITT who conveniently forgets their sage.
This theory of yours is just as laughable as it was the first time you posted it.

No.

Ryukishi has created a new type of moe.

Broken Mary Sue moe. The moe created by taking a seemingly perfect, undefeatable, massively overpowered character and beating her into utter submission as she realizes how much of a failure she is.

It's like broken goods, only better.

Umineko ep6 is out on Share

Best theory I've heard today about Ep5:

The entire thing is a murder mystery game setup for Erika, like with Haruhi in the "closed circle" island trip. [Almost] everyone is in it to fool Erika, which is how the knock works: everyone simply lied, since it was never said in red text that the knock actually happened.

Everything in the episode makes sense if we simply assume that this was a setup.

蒼色の冷笑 is now playing in your head manually.

So, having spend the past ten hours on Umineko Chiru, I'm left wondering about one thing. Did Ryukishi bring up the Knox rules for detective stories and give that spiel about love between writer and reader simply as a plot device, to mock us, or is he saying that Umineko is a reader-solvable mystery, unlike Higurashi?
There's a lot of ambiguity and he tiptoes around actually saying one way or another whether Umineko obeys the Knox rules, which makes me wonder if he even has a proper climax in mind.

I've blinded myself to Umineko threads since last Comiket, so forgive me if this has already been discussed to death and let the thread sink to page 10 without a sound.
