Another thing I see fans discussing about is the part where Bernkastel cuts Clair open and all the "red truth" comes out. People seem to interpret this as the real truth, and believe that Kinzo started the battle with the italians because he wanted the gold.

I thought it was pretty clear that this is Sayo's interpretation of the story she was told. She saw Kinzo as a crazy lunatic that fucked his daughter and had a military base filled with corpses. She saw him as a complete monster, so she interpreted the story that way. It's not the real truth.

The scene where Beatrice II tells Kinzo that she doesn't love him "that way" is also Sayo's interpretation, not the objective truth. She has no idea that if you raise your daughter to be your lover, she won't find it strange. It will be natural for her because she doesn't know any better.

Beatrice II was a pitiful person because she was locked up in that mansion and didn't really love Kinzo. She was very lonely and wanted to meet more people and see what's out there. But that doesn't mean Kinzo "raped" her violently and traumatized her. He just had sex with her. If you grow up without anybody telling you that sex is shameful or that your body is "sacred", you won't really care about it. You'd just be slightly annoyed because this unattractive middle aged man convinced you to do it and you didn't like it. As simple as that.

My point is that Sayo isn't god. She can't know what happened during the war or before she was born. Stop thinking that Kinzo is canonically a deranged, violent rapist that would kill people for gold. That's not supposed to be the truth.

Good point, it is quite disgusting.
