Dear Shkanonfriends. I never indulged into theory debates and was pretty much biased against Shkanon until EP6 but now I started to doubt.
Could someone please clarify if in Shkanon theory Kanon (or Shannon, whoever is the split personality is) counts as a 'person' or not? Or can it count as both 0 or 1 depending on reader's whim?
Depending on answer I'll solidly:
a) Prove that Shkanon exists
b) Prove that it's is impossible for Shkanon to exist
c) Prove that both options are still plausible
d) Prove that translation is fucked up

Thanks in advance.

ShKanon has been around since the first fucking episode.

Also rather than saying shit, try to disprove and cook up some solid alternative solution, fucking moron.

Shannon equals Kannon or Erika doesn't exist. Shkanon may not be true, but then Erika needs to deny her own existence.

>> No.5624142

>>5624131
Erika doesn't exist doesn't do shit to the first four episodes, it brings nothing to the main mystery and basically make episode 5 and 6 pointless.

I know that R07 is far from being a great writer but don't make him even worse than he is.

It's bullshit.
But Ryukishi doesn't think so and this is what is important here.

>> No.5624239

You don't need to prove anything. Just solve the main riddle of Ep6:

Baseline:
ERICA WAS ABLE TO SAY 'I am the visitor, the eighteenth human on Rokkenjima!!' IN RED
Which was countered with
'even if we welcome you, the number of people is seventeen.'

The most obvious answer: Kanon doesn't count as human, thus 16+Erika=17, Skanon alright.
However, if it was true, Erika wouldn't be able to say that she's 18'TH MOTHERFUCKING PERSON IN RED.
HOWEVER, if Kanon counts as a person, how do you solve 'even if we welcome you, the number of people is seventeen.' without Erika being simply a corpse?
HOWEVER, if she's a corpse how can she say IN MOTHERFUCKING RED that she's 18th person on Rokkenjima?

Solve this and you'll reach the truth.

If it's hard to make Two personalities in one person, to make Three is just... to much, and to work in the way you all are trying to say it works is just... how to say it... it's just a load of shit.
If it's true the only answer is that ryu is retarded as hell

The red was killed when Ryukishi decided to use his own definition for some term without even hinting about it.

In episode 6, Hachijou and Ange just gave you the definition of the most important term: PERSON.

A personality can make a person in Umineko, it's stated clearly.
Blame Ryukishi for not being clear enough or something.

It is. here, ou can throw Shkannon with another explaination for the duel (and that's not hard).

Anyway, Beatrice dying with Kanon is not really logical. If she can't fight for battler (isqualified, as someone here said), she sould have died and be "transparent" since the very beginning of the duel.
To me, this part is really, really confusing.

Finished episode 6.
Sountrack was amazing as usual, story dragged a bit at time and all the focus on ShKanon was kind of disappointing.

It really seems like episode 7 could be the end.

Honestly, at times I thought that it was kind of a shame such a great soundtrack was used "only" for Umineko.

There is a problem with ShKanon theory.
In the EP 3 both are killed. And the crime scenes are sealed. So they can't escape from there and make murders. Unless somebody helps. Maybe Nanjo?

No, I'm not talking about Fiction Theory, and I didn't say anything about Person X either.

A fake death charade is being carried out by people on the island. People are acting out roles in the charade, to the extent that a story world has been overlaid on the island, like a live-action RPG. It's possible for statements about the story to be objectively true or false, so it should be possible to use red about them IN ADDITION to red about reality.

In EP5-6, someone added the character of "Furudo Erika" to the story, so on the Rokkenjima of the story world, there are 18 humans, even though there are still only 17 on the real Rokkenjima. She never gets to see anything past the second twilight because everyone stops participating in the act when real corpses are discovered, which causes the story world to cease to exist.

This is relevant to Beatrice because she is also a fictional character. Originally there was a legend of Beatrice who played pranks. After Shannon heard about Battler's ideal woman, she created a new character to match that ideal (Moetrice) so she could write out her fantasies about him. Over time, as she wrote more stories, she started adding in details from the legendary Beatrice until the modern character came into being.

That character was then used as part of the fake death charade. Unlike Erika, her fictional world sticks around even after people start dying for real because people start to think she might really exist.

Fiction theory is that there is true version of the event and that some people, which most likely includes the culprit, are creating various fanfiction about it, these are the various games of Umineko.

Or something like this, anyways we still didn't see the true version.
