Well, I have a funny feeling you already know what the Jessitrice theory is anyways, so I really have no motivation to explain it any further to you. But what the hell. Motivation could be the same as Shkanontrice, heck, you could go with KINZO RAEP if you want. But there's more. Her longetivity in most games, the fact that she calls Battler and tells him about magic in episode 4 while she is "revived", and the locked room with George in episode 3, I believe.
Oh yes, and consider this: Kanon and Shannon are never stated to be able to disguise themselves well, and as such, for them to dress up as Beato is a bit of an asspull. The character who looks the most similar to Beato is stated in game to be Jessica. So if anyone could pull off the disguise, it'd be Jessica.

>> No.4114200

Actually, there's another way of looking at it, if you think about what happens in Episode 6. Basically, Beatrice's personality was created to be similar to Jessica's, so if Jessica is going around singing a character song...

Wrong. Only in looks. The flashback says that Battler wants a girl that looks like Jessica but isn't Jessica. The fact that he mentions Jessica in the third person means that he most likely wasn't talking to Jessica either.

>> No.4114250

>>4114232
To elaborate on this statement, it wasn't just a subconscious basing; the person who created Beatrice purposely gave her features that Jessica also had, because Battler had told the person that he liked girls with personalities like Jessica's, and also that he liked the "blonde and bouncy" sort.

Makes going back to Episode 4 and reading skirt Beato's conversation with Battler a little chilling when she says the line "Am I not the embodiment of your ideal?"

She was on the balcony after all, which could have hid her legs. EP 6 confirms that the Beato on the balcony was someone in disguise as well, due to the 'exactly 17', which makes no room for an extra person to just appear.

That's not a clue, that's speculation on another character's part (unless its proven she actually knows Shannon is the Beatrice and is trying to drop hints for Battler, but its highly doubtful)

Japanese people with natural blonde hair is just a bit weird to me. Most of the Umineko cast have "natural" hair colours too, only Erika who's pompous enough to dye her hair ROYAL BLUE anyway.

Not really, back then, they were 12, Jessica had no tits (at least, not big ones). Battler said he liked blonde women with blue eyes and big tits like those of glamorous Western actresses/models. Those were his words.

So, in terms of looks, he isn't really talking about Jessica.

Well, it's one of the more rational defenses and discussions of Jessitrice I've seen, so yeah, it's decent.
The spammer just dislikes Umineko cause it's popular, not too surprised.

>Kyrie and Rosa could be lying

That's possible, yes.


>Battler probably had his view obstructed (it was dark, raining, etc)

I thought about that, but if his view was actually obstructed, I think he couldn't have said he recognised her by the face. In order to have been able to say that, he should have been able to see her clearly, no?

Anyway, my issue here is that we have 2 people who have claimed to have recognised her by the face.

>>4114510
>Well, Battler had been drunk on one occassion

That happened at the end of EP2. I'm not talking about that scene.


>and had just been mindfucked with the banana phone calls by Moon-chan and MATH

I thought about the possibility of him being scared, but Battler himself said he felt much calmer after having met Beatrice.

Was that ever confirmed? I know Beatrice told Battler that in EP4, but does that apply for the entire time they were there?

All the same, other than a "19th person," I don't think there's been any hints for more people to be at Rokkenjima.

Still, there haven't been any kind of clues that Jessica could set up something that large scale, it's been said she barely leaves the island. Let alone set up a bank account with billions of yen is super high security.

Based on red text and what everyone hopes for, Shannon is a guy.

>> No.4116585

Looking through red text made me notice something. There's a lot of focus on certain characters, but the story is definitely not that linear, so I decided to look into minor characters, with no real theories backing them, to see what I could figure. I started with what was stated in EP 4 and how Battler handled it in EP 5: Nobody would mistake anyone for Kinzo.

In EP 4, we learn a few things: Kinzo is always dead, nobody could mistake Kinzo for anyone or anything, nobody could mistake Kanon for anyone or anything, and nobody can claim Kanon's name (HIS name, by the way).

Now, in EP 2, after the viewer see Nanjo and Kumasawa die from "Kanon", everyone goes to tell the rest of the family that they say Kanon do it. But it was stated that Kanon was dead. Of course, one could use the whole "name" thing, but there's also another thing: Nobody could mistake Kanon for anyone else. So the only way for them to not mistake him is for to not have seen him in the first place. Next, in EP 4, Gohda and Kumasawa rush to the guesthouse to tell Battler and the others of everyone dying because Kinzo was on a killing spree, and Gohda claimed he saw it and the weapon used. However, Kinzo is always dead, and nobody could dress up as him.

Conclusion? Gohda has been lying almost the entire time. The question, then, is why?

>> No.4116679

>>4116585

Gohda joined 2 years before, around the time of Kinzo's death. So he's not really super trusted yet. It's highly unlikely that he's part of the Kinzo Conspiracy. And he probably doesn't know Kinzo is dead. Chances are, he was threatened in EP4. A gun is very powerful motivator, especially to unarmed people. Note that, he doesn't have a concrete story about Magic Golden Missiles yet, the killer just gave him a general outline of what to say.

On the subject of the Kinzo conspiracy. Do you guys think that Jessica knows? In EP1, she's feeding all of the cousins information about Kinzo, almost like someone reciting the party line.

How about George? Does George suspect? His line to Battler in the family dinner about Kinzo having 3 months to live since last year, and him having "tremendous willpower" and extending his life by willpower alone, all while sporting his ridiculously cheesy smile, makes it seem that he's not believing that bullshit.

>> No.4116714

>>4116679

Also, the scene right before that where Genji serves Kinzo absinthe and Kinzo goes berserk and hating on his family might just be Genji drinking in Kinzo's room, reminiscing and probably being disappointed in the Ushiromiyas.

Why was he in Kinzo's room? Because Krauss needs an excuse for Kinzo, so it can be assumed he has the study key at that point.

The story is very well put together, and the voices on the other end of the line collaborate that story, even though us, the readers, now know that it was fabricated. Being threatened works I suppose, but i'm wondering how deep or well thought out that fear is, since at that point, he should know that it's likely that the culprit probably also did all of the magic circles that he ran into early in his job.

Also, the other thing i'm focusing on is that everyone else lied too, and we can also suggest that everyone lied about Kanon's status in the room in EP 2. In that situation I feel like it's less likely for someone to be threatened. They may have planned to fake a death, but it became real later.

>> No.4116784

>>4116756
Also to add: Regardless if someone KNOWS Kinzo is dead or not, there is no way they could be fooled to think someone was him. It's in red, so there's no way anybody would be tricked, even Gohda. So regardless of him being a part of the conspiracy or not doesn't ultimately matter.

Another thing about EP1.

Kumasawa has been eavesdropping on everyone. Everyone. I can't believe I forgot that. Several scenes from her POV indicate knowledge about the Ushiromiya family politics.

>>4117063
Interesting, didn't know that much about her.

Another thing i've noticed, but COULD be taken out from stuff in EP 6 (I haven't read it yet, so correct me if it's wrong).

The introduction letter is sent to the family only three times. In EP 1, 2, and 3. In EP 1 and 2, it's written the same way and it's very elaborate. In EP 3, it's very stale and to the point. It isn't written in 4 or 5. Therefore, I wondered if the writer was chosen to die before they chose to ask them to write it, perhaps. Looking into it, all I can consider is Genji, since the letter is no longer written because he keeps getting killed early, or the letter is half-assed because they don't have his know-how.

>> No.4117103

>>4117083
If we're comparing Episodes to eachother, I wrote a little theory about Maria.

Up until this game I've always thought of Maria as the key piece. She had the standard chess king's crown on her head and she always belonged to the group of people that died last (as soon as the king dies, the game is over).
The only game where this wasn't the case, was EP 3, where Eva managed to escape even though Beatrice told Battler in red: "Due to your sin, a great many humans on this island die. No one escapes, all die."

I'm not really sure about the next part (EP 5), but Maria dying in the first twilight never happened before, and the entire 'murder game' as we all knew it immediately stopped. Blaming all of that on Lambda and Bern might be too easy.
Maria is in some way directly connected to the epitaph murders.

>> No.4117123

Interesting. Genji did die early those times. I suppose it supports credence to the theory that this is all Kinzo's test from beyond the grave. And Genji's just following his will.

>> No.4117151

Also, if we follow Knox's rules, we find ourselves in a bit of a rut. In EP 1 and EP 5, Eva and then later Erika use door seals in order to help solve the case. But it's done before anything remotely happens, and they make horrible excuses when they do them. The bottom line is that it breaks Knox's rules, because they just used intuition to randomly place seals IN CASE someone went nuts and murdered fucking everyone. So what if we translated that in another way? As in, what if the seals were placed purposely, because an incident was going to happen and they knew it was going to. Genuinely. So seals were made to pass blame, and Eva's seals always pass blame to Natsuhi, who is innocent. In fact, it's odd that Eva, someone who is so vocal at family meetings, decided to "sleep early" in EP 1. That is very out of place.

EP3-4 seems to be bigger clusterfuck than I thought. I think at least one of the killers likes Maria or just has a soft spot for kids.

I like that theory.

The argument can always be made that the situation was so tense that it's really only a matter of time before murders happen. That's what Erika justifies. In Eva's case, wasn't it just a precaution to test whether Grandfather was there or not? I keep forgetting.

Actually, Erika's excuse did make sense. Battler had solved the epitaph and found a lot of gold, and there was a big discussion amongst family members on whether he should become the next head or not (in addition to whether that gold belongs to him or not, since he solved the epitaph and found it).

>> No.4117190

It was placed just to show if Kinzo existed and to make Natsuhi look bad. It was placed before anything actually suspicious happened. She was seriously suspicious in EP 1. Even her alibi made her suspicious. Nobody had one and she went out of her way to make sure she had one?

That's a good way of thinking. In mystery stories, the culprit always has an alibi. Perhaps the three siblings alliance thought of that plan together? Pinning Natsuhi, who's easily tense, seems to be a solid plan.

The first twilight is a bit insane in that episode though. What's the pattern? Seems so nonsensical.

>> No.4117253

>>4117224
My original theory was that everyone went to the conference and perhaps a deal was made earlier, or something along those lines (it's hard for me to pinpoint, so it's still not solid). At any rate, something pulled Eva from the meeting when she would never do something like that, and she took Hideyoshi with her since she doesn't want him to die more than likely. The culprit notices Eva is gone and chooses two people to replace the missing adults. Could someone be faking? Dunno at this stage. I'm still looking into the whole promise thing, since the main focus is on Shannon saying that she remembers Battler promising to come back on a white horse or something. Which isn't even remotely depressing on it's own.

They were arguing over the family inheritance and about a gazillion tons of gold in front of a complete stranger, then told her to shut up about it before they went off to argue some more. This all took place in a completely isolated island with no way in or out.

Something circumstantial but interesting anyway. In EP1, Shannon gets flustered when Battler focuses on her or asks her a question. However, it was shown before that Shannon is flustered easily. So it's probably nothing.

The tipping point might to be the confirmation that Krauss is embezzling funds. It's also shown in that scene that Hideyoshi was doing his investigation as well. So that EP5 flashback might have credence.

Also, Rudolf tells Kyrie to shut up(she does.). What's up with that?

Of course not. There wasn't anything tangible that the family could take, nor were there any real sense of urgency.

>> No.4117359

>>4117324
...maybe? You're starting to sound convincing, but... Well, i'll concede the argument for now. I'd rather not do that completely, since there's the fact that Battler was being generous, regardless of bickering.

Well, in regard to Rudolf acting out of place, that's quite odd, perhaps it's a clue in itself. Battler doesn't show interest in being head, and also shows interest in sharing the wealth, which would fix everyone's financial problems. So it wasn't money he was upset about?

Looking it that way and reading EP1 again, it seems that in EP5, the siblings were being ridiculously fucking stupid.

Battler wants to share, and their money problems are all moot, even Krauss is out of the hot water!. The only sticking point is the headship, which only Natsuhi is concerned about. God, this makes me feel horrible, but maybe it really was a murder game that they cooked up to punish the unreasonable Natsuhi.

The trolling Erika bit is what I'm having trouble dealing with. I didn't get the impression that they hated her especially, but they just went with the flow and let her have her fun. Kyrie even told her at one point to stop playing detective.

Eva beating Natsuhi seems genuine though, so I believe Hideyoshi really was killed, and Eva believed the reasoning that only Natsuhi was able to do it. She just got caught up in the moment and started screaming George's name as well.

Also, unless the gold was found and they suddenly have a rush of gold fever I don't think the siblings would kill for money. They won't gain anything. So I suppose, EP1 is pure "Beatrice" with all the Epitaph murders done by her.

I've also tried to focus on how the culprit works without trying to focus on a person in general. So far, the killer knows Maria and has played with her for some time. We know this because she was accepted into the alliance of witches in her own diary, written out of Maria's handwriting. This handwriting matches the letters sent out on October 3rd (returned days later via wrong address) related to money sent to survivors of the incident (people outside the island). The writing style also matches the writing style on the notes in bottles.

The culprit asks the family to solve the epitath, but gets or loses anything from doing it. The culprit kills because Battler returned. The culprit "keeps promises, unlike some" (if you want to refer Beatrice to the killer).

Questions that come to mind: Why give out money to people outside the island? "Sorry" money or perhaps a deal? If we're right to assume the promise was between Shannon and Battler and Shannon is the culprit, why is she killing everyone because Battler didn't return the way he promised he would? Killing over that makes no logical sense period. Also, if the letters were sent out to survivors, then they knew Ange, who was only recently sick, couldn't make it. So whoever knew Ange wouldn't make it for a long period of time could've sent the letter (Servants, those who normally live on Rokkenjima, Rudolf, Kyrie, and Battler). Do the magic circles that come up years before the conferences in front of Gohda have any relation?

I know that much. That's my premise on that the culprit, and perhaps everyone is a "victim", and nobody is seriously blamed for anything alone. Although a few characters, like Hideyoshi, seem like nothing is wrong, everyone seems to have a pretty pitiful story to tell. So the culprit has to be doing something we can forgive them for.

However, that "promise" has to be one of the bigger underlying keys to figuring out a definite "why".

And even though Shannon is the most likely person to be the culprit (Jessica also maybe? But Shannon admits it was towards here with no proof from Jessica, so it's most likely Shannon), we should look into everyone else's stories, based on the red text so we can figure their motives, like with Gohda's lies (granted, lying doesn't mean being a murderer or accomplice, it can be forced).

Well, it was fun discussing what I came up with, see you.

>> No.4117943

>>4117792

>Why give out money to people outside the island?

This isn't really my theory, but I liked it so I'm using it.

The epitaph murders are done by "Beatrice" to force the Ushiromiyas to cooperate and solve the epitaph. Beatrice gains nothing from it because she is just executing Kinzo's will. Kinzo has amazing foresight, and probably predicted that money problems will arise from his children. He probably hated that and was disappointed. He wants to give them one last chance/test. Solve the Epitaph, everyone wins. Don't, everyone dies. He asks Beatrice to set things up, so that they would be forced to solve the Epitaph.

The money is a prize for solving the Epitaph. Let's say there are 20 cases of money, one for everyone on the island. If someone solves the Epitaph, great. They become the head etc. What about those who were killed, or didn't get their fair share? They get the letter and get the money to rebuild their new life. Note that Kinzo's an ass and probably calculated that a couple of hundred million yen or some such is more than enough to compensate a life.

If they can't solve it, well everyone dies and the Ushiromiyas end with Kinzo. They weren't worthy of carrying on the name anyway.
