The fifth rule stated in Knox's Decalogue was:

5. No Chinaman must figure in the story.

Knox was not referring to "a person from China", but instead referring to a strange or mysterious character, exotic in nature and unknown in origin, whose abilities are unknown due to their sheer foreign nature.

A good example of such a character is The Medecine Seller from Mononoke, though Mononoke is not a classic mystery so to speak, and he is the main character.

The Medecine Seller appears to the rest of (that story arc's) cast, revealing nothing of himself. His character is absolutely obscured.
Who is he? What is he doing here? What can he do? What is his intent?
For The Medecine Seller, none of these questions are answered. This would make him "A Chinaman" by Knox's interpretation. But thats alright. He is better as a chinaman.

Unless you haven't quite been able to grasp my point, there is a certain Umineko no naku koro ni Chiru character which fits the criteria of "The Chinaman".

Ironic, isn't it? What a two-facing witch. She reads out point after point from the Decalogue, forgetting the one which she broke.

maybe it (hometown) refers to rokkenjima.

the river with sweetfish might be referring to the underground tunnel with well as an entrance kraus and co were escaping through in ep4.

sweetfish are not really related to the whole riddle, but more like a hint. fish are related to water, and sweetfish in this case to the non-salinated fresh water, unlike the sea water that surrounds the island.

entrance to it is the well, which is where you would get the fresh water from, so the sweetfish and river. at the end of the underground tunnel is kuwadorian, the village of gold, with all the gold hidden in it.

the rest of the epitaph, with killing and all is probably directions to find the mechanism to open the well entrance.

it was locked without any noticable way to open in ep4 when battler was looking for kanon's body, and which erika with battler unlocked after solving the riddle in ep5.

well that's my way of seeing it at least.

>> No.3991316

Well, thank you google:

The hometown refers to a city in Taiwan, Danshui. The subway station right below Danshui Station is a station called 唭哩 岸 (Beitou Qilian Cili-an). The next sentence says: In the village, look for the shore the two will tell you of. In the(其) village(里), look for the shore(岸) the two (口口) will tell you of. So this theory should be right so far. The key is 'Qilian'.

Then,

At the first twilight, you shall lift up as sacrifice the six chosen by the key

At the tenth twilight, the Golden Land is mentioned (黄金の郷). 郷 is usually read as 'Sato' but more rarely as 'kyou'. 京, which means ten quadrillion, is also read as 'kyou'. This 'quadrillion' sounds similar to our secret mansion, Kuwadorian.
So sacrifice the six chosen by the key - 'Qilian' - from Quadrillion.

-u-dr--l-o- is left.

>> No.3991321

>>3990999
But we don't know how japanese characters work.

>> No.3991322

Then tear apart the those who are close, which means to separate d and r.
dOOr, which becomes door.

What Ange found in Kumasawa's son's house proves this right - 'This door is opened only at probability of a quadrillion to one'
'Door' and 'quadrillion' both appears in this sentence.
(I'm not too sure about the validity of this statement, but the following interpretations are more convincing)

Then does this actually mean a real 'door'?

Erika mentioned anagrams. Door can be 'rood'. The holy Rood, which means Jesus Christ impaled on the cross. The very first title screen of EP1 shows the chapel, on top of which is a cross with Jesus Christ on it.

Thus, the 'rood' obviously indicates the chapel where it is located.

Another thing with 'tear apart the those who are close'

>> No.3991327

引き裂, tear apart, can also mean 'to rive' in English.
One can put 'rive' instead of 'OO' between d and r.
Then it becomes d rive r, driver. One can gouge with a driver, right?
The 'driver' may mean the Seven Stakes of Purgatory (they are quite similar in appearance, no?) In EP3, 2 out of 7 stakes do not appear. This may be because two were used, one each for Eva and Rosa. Mammon also said in EP4, 'Then it is only I, not the Seven Sisters!' (Do not remember this part, so translation may again be incorrect) This may be because Mammon was used as a 'driver' instead of a stake.

Back to '-u-dr--l-o-'. This can form Lord U, Lord Ushiromiya, the honorable name.
One can read Ushiromiya(うしろみや) not as (右代宮) but (後ろ見や).
Now this is incorrect, but if one takes from each and reads as 後ろ宮, this means 'behind the shrine'.

Shrine also indicates the chapel.

Supporting this theory:
Maria, in EP2, interprets English written on the chapel (sneering at Battler). The English is suspiciously similar to what Ange found at Kumasawa's son's house.
So the way to Kuwadorian is at the chapel. More specifically, the 'door' is the chapel door.

>> No.3991331

But the chapel door can be opened with a key. We should be looking for the chapel that cannot be opened (mentioned by Genji in EP2, this author says), Kuwadorian.

So how do we 'open' the door?

Erika says in EP5, "As expected, ......gouging, meant that. Again, my reasoning was correct." (Another random translation by me, as EP5 translation isn't out yet)

Now here, Lord U, the 4~8th twilights, and driver are used.

It goes like this.

L At the fourth twilight, gouge the head and kill.
O At the fifth twilight, gouge the chest and kill.
R At the sixth twilight, gouge the belly and kill.
D At the seventh twilight, gouge the knee and kill.
U At the eighth twilight, gouge the leg and kill.

>> No.3991336

Left
O
Right
Down
Up

or

Up
Left O Right
Down

O is the keyhole of the chapel door. Push that driver in, according to the epitaph.
The 4~8th twilights remind one of a person's body.
A person has one head, one chest, one belly, two knees, and two legs.

Left O
O -------
Right │
Down ↙ ↘
Up │ │

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a body. So according to LORD U, we should go
Left, O, Right, Down, Down, Up, Up, with the driver.

Thus, the door to Kuwadorian opens.

>> No.3991341

In EP5, right after Battler completes the eight twilight, he sees Kinzo's ghost.
Then Erika looks at where he's glancing at and says, "Is it that way?" or something similar.

This means that nothing special immediately happens after completing the eight twilight. This is mentioned in the game itself.

There are no special locked rooms in the chapel, said Beato in red.
So what we've done with LORD U must open a door elsewhere, like that well in EP4 where Kanon died.

Knox article 8. There cannot be solutions with unpresented evidence.

When Battler went to that well in EP4, it was covered with a steel lid and would not open. This may be a clue.

Remember that 後ろ宮 from before. This means 'behind the chapel'.

Erika probably intended to go behind the chapel.
But Battler, who saw the ghost of Kinzo, steered a little astray and went 'behind the Ushiromiya mansion', where the well was (In EP4, Krauss says the well is behind the Ushiromiya mansion')

Anyway, in EP4, Kyrie and others climbed out the well quite easily. The well may have a ladder or may not be that deep. So, if the 'driver' lets the steel lid be opened, one may go to Kuwadorian quite easily. And to that enormous mountain of gold.

But the epitaph isn't over yet.

Midnight, in English, is often called the 'witching hour'.
And midnight is often associated with the hour 0.
In EP1, when it became midnight (hour 0, witching hour), Beatrice's butterflies appeared. This signifies game over.

At the ninth twilight, the Witch shall live again and none shall be left to live.
Then the 'witching hour' - when the Witch shall live aagain - is probably hour 0.
Let's go one step further and think witch = 0.

(The author goes on to explain the 'One shall be' parts, but I think this part is quite self-explanatory)

Let's examine Sleep peacefully, my most beloved witch, Beatrice.
Let's replace witch with 0, as we theorized that witch=0 before.

(Now in this English translation, it says 'my MOST beloved witch, Beatrice', but the author translated this part into 'my beloved witch, Beatrice')

My beloved witch, Beatrice becomes
My beloved 0, Beatrice
MB0B

flip this, and as an anagram we have

>> No.3991351

BOMB

So, my beloved witch Beatrice is BOMB.

Perhaps Eva-Beatrice attacking Beatrice's heart with the Siestas may be in reality Eva trying to dismantle the bomb. More importantly, in the EP4 tea party, Beatrice did not refute the 'small bombs theory' with the red. Perhaps this is related to 'what Beato hid till the end' that Lambdadelta mentioned.

But this is no small bomb - this must be a bomb that can blow up an extremely large area, buildings and lands and all.

Also a few more things about that theory.

It's stated somewhere that Kinzo worked in a mining business.
It may also explain the bomb, he may have placed some dynamite on the island, thank to the experience he had in mining, to cause a mud flow that destroyed most of the island.

Bomb makes so much sense in the final riddle.

I'd say that Rokkenjima is on a time limit, in which a bomb explodes if the one who solves the epitaph isn't declared.

On the significance of Taiwan...


I'm going by my earlier assumption that Kinzo's seed money was war gold by the Japanese which they were shipping out of Japan.

And what do you fucking know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_under_Japanese_rule

It was the first Japanese offshore colony and lasted UNTIL 1945.

The gold could have been sent there while Kinzo was living/visiting there. He met Beatrice, she gave him the gold, and that's what he considers his "real" home.

He was a rich Japanese in a Japanese colony. He should have been well looked after. I imagine he was happy somehow. Also, consider the fact that it was said that he was from a branch of a branch, and was not in the running to be the head.

> If you are telling me that this isn't a delusion, Beato exists as a person then.
I think Beatrice exists.

Kinzo's occultism is for resurrecting Beatrice.
It needs a vessel for her soul.
The vessel, Kuwadorian-Beatrice, died about 19 years ago.
But he continued his occultism after her death.

It's obvious that he had prepared the new vessel.
And he probably brought her from Fukuin house.

Her name Kinzo gave is perhaps "Maria."
That's why Kinzo got angry when Rosa named her daughter Maria, rejecting the name given from Kinzo.
That's why message-bottles have the same signature, Maria Ushiromiya.
That's why the magic scenes of this story is weird. Beato's knowledge only comes from Kinzo's education, and conversations with some people who know Beato. She is using Maria's imaginations mainly. And it's what Tips of EP4 is saying.("Sea of zero" etc.)

I wouldn't be surprised if the fantasy characters where more like emotions than set to any specific analog.

Something like Ronove = Genji seems pretty obvious, but then you have EVA-Beatrice who is more like an emotion for "hate" and can jump from character to character, or Beatrice herself who seems to be an allegory for characters being the culprit.

It could be a mix of both too.

After all, we know the voyager witches are embodiments of their specific traits.

On a side note they're really not as cruel when you view them that way. Rather, you understand why they are cruel. Miracles never happen when you need them and life's Certainty is normally a bad thing, (death and taxes). It's also funny they're opposed to each other in that sense as well.

That bothered me about this Episode. Krauss definitley had one ingot, as shown in Legend. There were three ingots in Turn, one of which may have been Krauss'. If Krauss has one ingot every Episode, couldn't he have used the ingot to have paid off a little bit of his debts in this Episode?

I'm guessing him having the ingot isn't constant after all.

<The Who?>
George and Ginji are the culprit
<The How?>
Ginji drug all the children after dinner, Rosa as well. Battler spent time solving puzzle long after Rosa left him so he was never drugged. While everyone was sleeping like a log. George then created a fake scene faking everyone’s death. This doesn't involve a lot of sound of course since everyone is sleeping.
The next morning George and Ginji both fake their death until everyone left their room. Ginji left his scene shortly after Natushi ran out and George as well left after everyone left. George is physically strong enough to carry Rosa, Jessica and Maria’s unconscious body. He buried them in the wood after killing them there. George also killed Krass and was the one who call Natsuh faking to be her dead son. Ginji knew this and redirect the line to Natsuhi faking that it was from an external line, but in fact it was from the guest house. George also killed Hideyoshi and hides the other closet until Natushi left before getting out.
Later Gorge and Ginji both learn of the 'Gold' that Battler found. With conflict of interest they end up killing each other resulting in double death.
<The Why?>
Ginji knew that Kinzo is dead, however he believe that the family still new a new competent heir. he secretly conspire with George for him to be the next successor. George agree, however to do this he must kill the current assume head which is Krass and blame it on Natushi. In order to avoid suspicious, he must also kill Maria and Rosa who are in the same room as Jessica, and then too fake his death. Later George kills his dad as well thinking he can blame this on Natsuhi so that he can marry his love Sayo.
Later both of them learn that the new family head will be Battler who is awesome and can solve Kinzo's puzzle. Gorge want to rid of Battler, while Ginji want to support him. They both fight using either Kung-fu or shotgun and end up dying.

Maybe yes maybe not, but you cant call anything a estabilished fact until it is estabilished as a fact.

One thing that i think is funny in the phone scene is how her ''son'' ''proved'' natsuhi that he was there with the fall card.

I mean, he could have hidden four cards (corresponding to the four seasons) in various places of the room a long time ago, but he would only tell her where's the one she chose, creating thereafter the illusion that he knew the right answer.

Let's examine that red text.
"In the forest of Rokkenjima, a hidden mansion called Kuwadorian exists"

No shit Kuwadorian exists.

[In the past,] those two actually had a conversation like that in this place
(Those two refers to Kinzo and Human Beatrice.)
Doesn't specify when, For all we know that could be Beato 1, 2 or 3.

In 1967, in a hidden mansion on Rokkenjima, Beatrice-sama existed as a human

Now I agree that Beatrice #X could have died. However look at the way Beato acknowledge the death of Beatrice.

"She is definitely dead"

She is definitely dead, not I am definitely dead, this leaves room for the Beato = Natsuhi's adopted child.

At the start.
Ronove said that the current game is lacking love.
Ep5 is fucking nasty.
What all this implied is that majority of the characters in there are the murderers, accomplices and culprits.

Proof
1) The fucking knock at 24:00 that can't be solved. -this mean that everyone in the room at that time came out with the lie that they heard the knock
-the Battler that is in the 5th game is in it as well
-meta Battler joined the game late so he didn't know that he himself is the accomplice until toward the end

2)Nobody enter the cousins room besides Rosa and Battler
-One of them must be in it.
-Gohda drugged the food/tea when they are playing cards
-Probably a few people were left behind at the guesthouse to move the body when Detective-san and a few of them went to check up on Genji

3)The disappearance of Krauss
-Joined the family discussion at the mansion room
-Since all of them are in it, they kidnapped him and threaten Natsuhi to make her be the culprit

4) Hideyoshi
-knew Natsuhi is in the closet
-faked his death to pinned all the murders to her

4) Planned by who/when
-the meeting between the 3siblings when they were investigating about Kinzo death rumour

5) What was used to bribe the servants
-money (bank account in ep4)
-Shannon (Eva promised that she would let George be with her)
-Kanon (probably coaxed by Shannon)

6) What went wrong
-one of the sibling always end up being too greedy and try to kill everyone

One flaw, this doesn't work for Ep1 unless 1 of them faked their death. Couldn't be fucked to reread ep1.
