So, who wants to tackle the mysteries in Episode 4? There was a pretty entertaining 'Krauss was the culprit' theory posted late last night. That theory had gaps in it though, like who was guarding the prisoners, why Krauss let Jessica and Kyrie talk on the phone before he killed them, how Battler died, why special care was taken of Maria... And don't even mention how Jessica knew how Battler would find her corpse (or why she thought Battler would find her corpse at all. Niggas was gettin killed left and right.), or what that 'golden thread' that 'flew through the keyhole' was (I think Kyrie was trying to pass a coded message to Battler, but he didn't get it). And it doesn't explain who the hell Battler met on the balcony. Or how he died.

>> No.2766875

What I want to know is how Kyrie called Battler before she died. The phone line should had been busy from Jessica not hanging up.

Oh yeah, Kyrie also mentioned 'Kanon-kun's red laser'. What. Add to that that she seemed to have been attacked several times while she was on the phone. By what? A magical golden thread that came in through a nonexistent keyhole (these doors all have cylinder locks, remember?)?

The fact that you have to actually dial to get another phone and dial a 0 to get an external line should mean that they have a pretty good telephone system on the island. An active connection between two phones should not interfere with an active connection between two other phones.

>> No.2766913

I still think the servants are behind it all. They've all been conditioned by Kinzo to carry out his insane ritual, even if he dies.

The only time it doesn't fit is in Episode 3, but in that game, I'd assume that Eva realized that they were going to kill her and she took the initiative to get them first.

>> No.2766921

Yeah. Or Jessica was forced in the same manner as Kyrie.

>> No.2766925

Theres no way to prove the whole prison scene happened. There's no way to prove anyone other than Kyrie was alive or there when Battler got that first phone call. Remember? All the others were the one who confirmed the other people were who they say they were. Since Battler only spoke to Kyrie we can only state as a fact that Kyrie was alive in the first and second phone call. Shit, even in the third phone Maria was the one who picked it up. They specifically went out their way to say that Maria was the one who answered.

>> No.2766933

>>2766891
I have doubts about what his motivators for letting them make the calls in the first place is. Why bother? And if he was gonna kill them anyway, why didn't they try to say something clearly? Why and how did Gohda and Kumasawa get locked back into the garden storage, and why display their corpses in such a way?

I know Krauss has a big ego and likes to swing it around, but there are limits. And why be gentle with Maria when he blew his own daughter's head off (unless we take the theory that Jessica isn't his daughter at all to heart)?

Now that's an easy one:

5. Lock the door with another lock that looks the same.

>> No.2766958

Well, I do have one thought. He may have been conditioning Battler to be his alibi. But then someone else killed him, wandered off someplace, and died.

>>2766943
Battler found him with his head half off. The whole point of blowing half their heads off in this game was 'you can make a certain identification yet also be certain they are dead'. Which leaves only Kanon in the grey area at the end.

>> No.2766960

>Why and how did Gohda and Kumasawa get locked back into the garden storage, and why display their corpses in such a way?

Why "locked back"? There is no proof that the storage was opened again after the cousins closed it up.
They could have "hanged" themselves with the rope or were even ordered to from someone outside the window.

>> No.2766961

>>2766933
For Kyrie, she probably become complicate for the sake of hers or any number of others lives Krauss had in his hand. For Jessica, I think Krauss planned on keeping her alive, but she witnessed George's murder and he couldn't risk her spilling. She wouldn't divulge the truth because she doesn't want to testify against her own father, even if he has to kill her.

>> No.2766967

>>2766960
That was my theory- the killer came to the window, and said they needed to tie ropes around their necks, or else he'd kill the children (remember what was said in Gohda's TIPS?)... Once they did that, he(or she) had them face him and shot them both.

Yes, but was it confirmed when he died, and if so, who with? If not, then the OPs theory gains at least a little more feasibility; it's reasonable to assume Kanon killed him in revenge, escaped the island (fuck knows how, he can project a pink sword from his wrist), and Battler died of poison

>> No.2766999

>>2766980
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Notice that Beatrice never said that "I will kill you now." She just said "I will kill you."
Therefore, my theory is that the food and drink that Battler had was poisoned by Beatrice, or whoever Beatrice really is. As for "I am here, now", it never said that Beatrice was alive. Just that she was there. Her state was not mentioned.

So yeah, it gives more strength to the Jessica = Beatrice theory.

The big question I have is 'why does everyone want Battler to believe in the witch?' Considering he is the one that survives the longest in every Episode, it's not impossible to consider that things like the stakes, the order of murders, the locked rooms and the appearance of Beatrice are all done for his benefit, to get him to accept the presence of a magical murderer.

But why go through all that hassle? You could easily get another alibi from a co-conspirator. What's so special about Battler that the murderer(s) would make things more difficult for themselves just to accept witches, even seemingly rational people like Nanjo and Kyrie?

>> No.2767050

>>2767027
I think he meant find a place to die. The problem here is that Kanon was confirmed the first dead out of Kyrie's group, the 9th victim. Someone blew Krauss's head off, but it wasn't Kanon.

Since we know who the first 6 victims were, does that make Jessica and George the 7th and 8th victims, or Gohda and Kumasawa? Those two really could have been killed at any time.

It's awfully predictable, but I think that the culprit is Kanon/Real Battler acting as Kinzo, using Jessica as an accomplice.
They planned to fake both Kanon and Jessica's deaths and escape with all of Kinzo's gold, using Battler as their witness to throw off investigations with a cock-and-bull story of magic and witches. However, they get drunk and have an argument, and Kanon kills Jessica with a gun in the heat of the moment. He then further damages her head (say, with an axe) to make the injuries match the original plan, and puts her in her room. Kanon then escapes the island through the harbor at Kuwadorian, where he has a small boat waiting. This means that when our Battler dies, there are indeed no other people on the island.
As to how Battler dies, I have no idea, but I would assume an accident or something else that isn't keikaku doori, since the culprit put so much effort into making Battler swallow the witch story. Maybe he stepped on a small bomb, or something.

But it's not far flung to imagine there might be a connection; did it ever say Maria was killed? If not, maybe that scene 'happened' and pushed this gameboard's MARIA/Maria to committing suicide to escape this plane of existence.

I think that battler is the battler who committed the sin and that he forgot, either naturally or artificially.

Jessica = Beato is feasible, but towards the end of ep4 Jessica fades into total obscurity.

Basically Japanese tries to call foreign names of persons(or places) with the original pronunciations.
Of course it has an accent though.

Remember Aria. Characters called their town "Neo Venezia".

By that line of thinking, it could be applied to anyone. 'Hideyoshi is dead' could be taken to mean just his self identity has 'died', and now he's Superman. It completly negates any deaths confirmed in red as being something so vague as to be meaningless. I really don't think so.

What should "real name" mean in this case?
When we say "real name", it means "legal" and "social" name. But witches obviously haven't been bound to our human society. We don't know what is "real name" to witches.
It means, when we start to suspect names used on the game board, it becomes impossible to speculate.

Well given what Jessica says about him needing to live life to the fullest, wondering what his real name is, etc. etc. I think it's at the very least a possibility. Kanon and Shannon are really the only ones we know have a name other than what we know them as.

>> No.2768261

Kanon is, without a doubt, the shadiest piece on the board at this time. His unknown past, emotional distance, and unconfirmed deaths in several games makes eyes be naturally draw toward him. For this very reason, I have doubts about the theories regarding him as a culprit. It's too obvious. I think that whatever the truth about Kanon is, it's not something we have thought of.

For those suspecting him however, do recall one thing- he's a scrawny little kid. Battler was able to hoist bags he could barely move with little effort. Unless that was an act, I'd say it's unlikely he could haul around dead bodies for the various twilights without an accomplice.

I kind of like that, it could be supported by the idea that all the people on the island were bribed by someone. Maybe his key arrived early. Its possible he IS an agent for someone, maybe the Sumaderas. Or the Ushiromiya Group, trying to find out what the hell is going on with Kinzo.

Good point. Maybe his death and dissapearence in Episode 2 was due to him trying to question Jessica about the crime. or maybe Beatrice woke up and realized he was on to her. After he confronted her, there was a struggle, and Kanon died after injuring Jessica. Jessica moved the body out of her room, then locked herself in, and presumably died. She could have faked it though if Nanjo was a part of her scheme somehow.

If we take the fantasy scenes as meaning something, even if they aren't literally true, Kanon is the one who's always portrayed as struggling the hardest against 'Beatrice' in the end, even if he gives a lot of lip service to being 'furniture'. The whole deal with Beatrice "desecrating" him by making his body disappear makes me wonder if a killer might have decided to "get back" at Kanon for digging too deeply by deliberately setting him up to be suspicious post-mortem.

Kinzo did it by putting everyone into a large bomb which was filled halfway with medium bombs. He then proceeded to put small bombs into everyone's food.

Hey, how come instead of walking around doing nothing important why didn't Battler stock up on canned food and get a gun and some of that expensive wine and hideout up in Kinzo's room. He wouldn't have died, would've had plenty of threatening calls by the killer another thing is possibly the killer attempting to shoot through the door or window with a gun or maybe even sawing their way through into the room somehow but too bad Battler also has a gun and he's damn drunk so he's not afraid to shoot. It's a Winchester with 5 live rounds or perhaps he could have taken all other live ammunition he could find for extra ammo. It even said the thing could be fired like any semi-automatic pistol today if fired properly. No one could get into the ultimate closed room. Only trick him but he won't listen to nobody when the boat comes the killer would've killed the boatmen and took off to hide then police comes to investigate and finds Battler with a a gun in his closed room he's prime suspect right then and there until he proves himself by showing off his hax theories.
