Damn it, it doesn't add up.
There is one character in Umineko who manages to be sketchy as fuck no matter what theory you run.
And that is, naturally, Jessica.

Just like to point out this one fact first, I'm not saying she's Jessitrice, I'm not saying she's a culprit, I am just saying she is sketchy.

And here's how. Assume the Shannonkanon theory, or Shannonkanontrice, anything that has Shannon and Kanon as the same entity will do.
Jessica is stated to be close to both of them. Good friends with Shannon, and in love with Kanon. If Shannon is Kanon, or vice-versa, Jessica would know. Unlike George, who never converses with Kanon often, Jessica has lived with the two for her entire life. If they are the same, she is in on that particular deception. And I do indeed mean deception. She is hiding their secret(if it does indeed exist) from everyone. Some people have simplified this to her being a yandere lesbian, but I fear it goes much beyond this.

Looking through the various boards, Jessica furthers the lie that Kinzo is alive. Now, I do not care what you say, one person can not live on an island for a period of more than a year, NEVER, and I do indeed mean NEVER, see a person, and yet claim he's alive, and react to "his" actions, like she did in episode 4. She didn't even express a slight doubt, like "Oh, I haven't actually SEEN Grandfather in a year", she just storms out to take on THAT OLD MAN.

This is sketchy. This is extremely sketchy. There are other signs of her being sketchy too. Like her asthma. Ever notice how she has asthma fits only when she gets into arguments, and during periods of high stress the asthma is non-apparent? This fact in and of itself means little, but when combined with the other implications, it's a very interesting addition.

>> No.4067550

There is also the time where she flips out and accuses Eva of being the culprit. She doesn't have much of a basis to claim this, but suddenly she rages like one who KNOWS that Eva is the culprit. That's interesting. That's quite interesting indeed. At the time I chalked it up to teenage angst, but it has a much different meaning now, looking back.

Jessica is doing SOMETHING, /jp/. And whatever it is, it can't be good. I hope we can agree on this, at the very least.

So please, share your thoughts on this matter, because it is troubling me, very much so.

Kinzo was a cat all along. That's why he's "dead", he cannot participate in the game board and is effectively out of it. Ep8 will include Kinzo breeding with Beatrice and flooding the mansion with cats. Someone will then flip out and throw a tantrum which will escalate into a tantrum spiral and end up causing the Rokkenjima incident. Toady will nonchalantly list the existence of witches as a bug in his to-do list.

Well, I am troubled by Jessica. Deeply so. It is a subtle suspiciousness. At least with Kyrie, we get glorious envy rants, we see the culprit she can be. With Jessica, everything isn't so clear. It's somewhat nervewracking, to tell the truth. The picture is slightly related.

Indeed, she's been shown frequently not to "get" things. She also falls right into the man's trap in episode 5. Krauss is also stupid. So is Jessica, her grades are terrible, and it's no surprise if her parents couldn't teach her well. So the whole Krauss family is moronic.

Rudolf is probably pretty smart. Kyrie is also. Battler reads 100 books a year, but is incompetent. His family is pretty smart.

Hideyoshi is a fairly good businessman, but he screwed up big time. Eva is of course intelligent, as is George.

Rosa's fairly intelligent, she also managed to find the gold. Maria is too, but she's autistic.

And she has indicated that she has interacted with Kinzo. If she was such an idiot as you describe(Basically the most braindead moron on the planet), she never would have mentioned Kinzo, instead telling Battler I DUNNO I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM. But she does NOT. She talks to him about how Kinzo is doing, and upholds the facade that he is alive. She knows he is dead, no way around that.

Hideyoshi was starting up a business and Kinzo wanted him on his side. But when women marry men they usually go into the man's registry of course. Women going to college back then was also very rare (Kyrie might be the exception, since she was going to be the future successor of a giant family)

Which is why I think Eva's comment implies arranged marriage. Normally it wouldn't happen. In EP 5 its confirmed Natsuhi was just given to Krauss as a wife. She didn't meet him, date him and then fall in love. She was taken from her home and given away.

Quite normal for a lot of people, especially asian women if the money was enticing enough, and ESPECIALLY Eva, since she always wanted to show up Krauss, at least not by her own skills then at least by her man.

And Eva had to convince Kinzo to add Hideyoshi to the family registry, and that was implied due to Hideyoshi already being successful and having started from nothing.

I suppose there is a possibility that the marriage was arranged but I find it more likely that Eva was just a devious person and more willing to acquire power and wealth than waste all of that on something as intangible as young love. It certainly was implied in Ep3.

Episode 2 - Jessica dies early because she stupidly runs off to find Beatrice, Shkannontrice runs after her and kills her. Then "Kanon" dies because Jessica is out of the game and therefore there's no need for that personality.

I think a more literal translation than witch-hunt's "Natsuhi oba-san is pure and faithful!" is "Natsuhi oba-san's feelings are pure."

Personally, I don't think Natsuhi killed the baby. She only claimed she did because the man was massively guilt-tripping her. Considering the situation she was in, it's no surprise she'd blame herself. She wished a baby would just die, and it did, but supposedly not really, and it came back calling her mother and blaming her for the incident. Then she's called a murderer constantly by Erika. How is she going to think?

Still, even if you want to claim she killed it, it's not like a murderer can't have pure feelings for something else. Eva killed Battler, but her feelings of love for George are real, pure you could say. The same goes for Natsuhi's love of Krauss, and her respect for Kinzo.

Not really. The reason there was an error was because Erika went deredere on him and he let her use some tape again. She locks up the two guest rooms and Battler's room and kills the other 5 people. She forces a logical error. Bern and Erika were willing to let him out if he exposed the heart, but not exposing the heart isn't the cause of the error.

Haven't you made like ten posts about the ocean of manly tears you shed for that paranoid bitch?

Yeah, and I'm a loli that wants to know the pleasure of being cummed inside.

Sorry, but that one single moment she out-bro'd everyone. She could have been a bigger bitch and let Dlanor take some damage, but she stood her own ground.

>Yes, I'm sure much of Erika's bitchiness was due to Bern.
Yes, yes, it was all Bern's fault she drove her boyfriend away with her paranoid delusions and inability to trust. Granted, he was a douche too, but I wouldn't expect a bitch to have good taste in men.

It's the same thing Beato did at least twice last episode. She didn't out-bro shit.

I don't really feel one way or the other about her. Honestly, that was her crowning moment, and I thought the description was gorgeous, but it's nothing we haven't seen from other characters and I thought her "tragic past" was laughable.

Calling her a bro is fine, but saying she outbro'd everyone ever is kind of stupid. She got her shining moment of redemption, but she still deserved everything she got
