1. Yasu would never create an alternate personality to cope with a stressful situation.
2. Beatrice died at the end of EP 8, that obviously means that Yasu died with her.
3. Ikuko got the truth of Rokkenjima by using magic: she's a witch, Featherine. She used magic to open the catbox.
4. The numerous identical personality traits between Ikuko and Yasu are pure coincidences.
5. Ikuko is rich and secretive because she's like that, there's nothing more to it. There's also probably magic there, her money came from her witch's powers.

Yasu can't be Ikuko because it makes absolutely no sense. This would mean Yasu would nurse an amnesiac Battler for years, prodding him to remember the truth of Rokkenjima. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Narratively Yasu discarding a personality goes counterpoint to all the thematics of Umineko - her creating a powerful witch personality to hide the truth is completely bonkers, and her toying with an amnesiac Battler is simply stupid.
