HAI GUIZE!

>> No.4087175

Let's use this thread as the new theory thread.
Let's find the reason Beatrice is killing everyone.
Here is my theory:
Stated in red

Six years ago for me, no person called Beatrice existed.
The sin I am now demanding that you remember is not between Ushiromiya Battler and Beatrice.
Ushiromiya Battler has a sin.
Because of your sin, people die.
Due to your sin, a great many humans on this island die.
No one escapes, all die.
And I opened this game in order to fight Ushiromiya Kinzo's grandson Ushiromiya Battler.


This mountain of gold is the real thing. All of the ingots piled up here are real, pure gold! There are absolutely no tricks such as replicas or fakes!!
This child has nothing to gain from having someone solve the epitaph.
The gold of the Golden Land belongs to this child. She had absolutely no need to make you find it for her or to snatch it away herself.
Whether the epitaph's riddle is solved or not, this child stands nothing to gain at all.
Regardless of whether the epitaph is solved or not, Beato has nothing to gain.
Her goal is not to make someone experience fear.
And it isn't to have revenge on someone either.
Beato never committed murder for the sake of pleasure.


First the first part about Battler's sin.
The word sin is actually a good hint, the fact that it's stated in red mean that what Battler did is a litteral sin.
The heavy christian theme is a good proof as well, see the stakes and the demons.

So what Battler did is a sin, what sin could a child like Battler do?
We know that it wasn't between him or Beatrice.
We also know that he doesn't he doesn't remember doing anything bad.

So what could it be?
Something like HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER perhaps.
One of the ten commandements.
Now think back about what Battler did 6 years ago.
He ran away from his father and decided to get away from the Ushiromiya's name.
The consequence of this was that he didn't come to Rokkenjima for 6 years.

no. I wasn't sayong that, Shanon, Jessica or George knew him

>> No.4087235

>>4087175
Now there's the thing about the promise that Battler gave to Beatrice.
In the second game, it's stated in red
I keep my promises unlike some.

So he broke an important promise.
The consequence of his sin made him broke the promise.
Which mean that he broke his promise by not coming on Rokkenjima for 6 years.

For the clues we got, in episode 3 he does say that he had promised Shannon, his first love, that he would come to take her on a white horse.
There's no indication of any other promises.
Take this as you will.

For the second part, Beatrice reason for the murders.
We know thank to the red text that the game was specificly made for Battler.
She doesn't do this for greed, for revenge, hatred or to make them fear something.

So what could it be? Think back to the whole theme of the game:
Without love, it can't be seen.
So, she did it for love.

Think back to the golden land.
We know that Maria was a big part into making Beatrice what she is.
We know that Maria is a sad girl who is alone most of the time and that she would do anything to live together with her mom happily.
We know that she truly believes that she could be truly happy with her in the golden land.

So, the obvious reason for Beatrice to commit these murders is simply because she wants to be joined with Battler in the golden land.

This is the reason why Battler always lives till the end.
Beatrice follows the epitath to make the magic works.
She truly believes in this spell and she truly believes that completing it would be the only way for her to be with Battler.

She did do it for love. But she did it for love in another way. She did it to decide which of the three cousins (excluding Maria) would get her love.

Not really, Van Dine rules are made for strict mysteries. Sure, some of Van Dine's rules would help Ryu out, by eliminating ShKannontrice for example, but Umineko was never a proper mystery novel.
Knox's rules are more about "things that would make the explanations retarded and predictable", while Van Dine's dictate to keep the story within the strict and specific bounds of mystery genre.

Oh you.

Evatrice is part of an important character. Beato is a main character. Erika is a shoved in the story shitty detective Mary Sue that cut off people's heads and got her little redemption in the end despite of what a cunt she was. She has no place at all in the story anymore. I wouldn't be good for Bern's evil rep to bring her back to fail a 3rd time.

>> No.4087926

>>4087908
Being an important character does not mean you get a 'free escape your disastrous fate that plagues a certaing idiot card'.
Evatrice was mostly for episode 3 and partly relevant for episode 4.
Erika also had full scale involvement for 2 episode,s shitty writing and appearance or not(not like the otehr 2 are stellar examples of characters, but that's a different story).
And the Umineko witches are the stupidest 'powerful' creatures to appear in fiction where they manage to ruin their own amusement.

>> No.4087967

I don't want to because I hoped this would have a better mystery. It's also completely ridiculous in my mind for something like this to go unnoticed among the family for years.

No. I believe it breaks Knox's rules, so there's no point in debating it. In fact, I think the bit about her being hurt that Battler "forgot" is also ridiculous.

Maria met someone named "Beatrice" who wrote in her diary. This same writing style matched with letters sent out, that gave people outside the island a load of money. This wasn't on a "whim", this was planned out for 6 straight years. Meaning the sin occured 6 years ago period. It wasn't a promise, but something else. Something a bit darker.

My crazy theory at the moment? Ange is 6 years old. Take of that what you will. Still needs to work with the fact that it's been planned for a really long time, and the writing style matches the letters sent out and the bottle notes.

It might be that Shannon was knocked up by Battler, but i'm unsure if that's something so serious as to throw away your entire life savings to strangers and killing everyone so Battler remembers he's a father. Still got to think on it.

In the Japanese, this is spoken in the same way as the person who made Beatrice.

To be honest, neither Shannon nor Jessica shows this sort of turmoil in what we know of them. Shannon didn't have a fun life, but it was never shown to be to the point where she would be begging to die.

She's a servant, she's supposed to be able to suck it up and do her duty no matter what. Especially with a master like Kinzo.

If Battler doesn't come back there's no reason for Shannon's Beatrice personality to exist. If he isn't going to love her he should kill her quickly.

>point out a likely suspect that fits that description
There's only one. Beatrice herself.

No one else matches her at all--what we know of her past, her ties to Kuwadorian, and her base personality as shown in EP6. No one else is her age.

Also, in case you didn't notice, whoever created Beato also transferred the headship of the entire island upon her and made her ruler of it. I find it hard to believe that Shannon had that power, gave it to a fictional being, then went off to find her "happiness" as an often verbally abused maid. The entire point of Shannon's arc was that she was unhappy--not to the point of death, but unhappy with the status quo--which makes no sense if she left the Beato personality behind in order to ACHIEVE happiness.

Sorry, I don't know how it's possible, but isn't that the point of a mystery? Making the only option that makes sense "impossible" and then proving it possible in the end somehow.

We don't know if the number remains constant throughout the whole thing. It's possible that's the number limit of people on the island at the time, and it doesn't count if the murderer, their accomplice, Beatrice, or one of the servants retracts to the Kuwadorian passage which is under the island(and possibly underwater looking at the shape of Rokkenjima).

There must be some trick to the number limit as R07 said it was possible to solve Umineko by 5 - this is impossible with the corrected number limit in 6 as nobody could presume it's reduction, Shkannon was previously to make room for Beatrice or an extra culprit such as Natsuhi's child.

On, not under. I know it sounds like a cheaty technicality but so is Shkannontrice. For example if someone was offshore, you couldn't count them as on the Island, but they'd still be able to come onto the Island like Erika did. The number limit only represents the maximum on the Island at once. That would explain the contradiction in Red too, since technically you could say 17, or technically 18 or 19. I think the true number of people "in and around" Rokkenjima is 19, including Erika, Shannon and Kannon, and possibly real Beatrice(who's not necessarily the culprit, bypassing a load of Knox's laws).
