ERIKANTRICE THEORY:
Yasu is not a man she was a woman
when battler arrive at island 6 years ago
he find a timid girl that only read mistery books
battler was to exited to finnalliy find someone to speak about mistery books and soon they fallen in love each others!!!
but time pass fast and battler must go so battler say to her that he will send letter but he cant use yasu name
kinzo was alive if he or genji discover it there will be trouble!!!!
so make an agreement with shannon
battler send letter to shannon and her will give its to yasu!!!
but when george find the letters thinking was for shannon destroy it
and everything go wrong!!!!

So is it probable that Gunhild's death was on purpose? As in she killed herself and pretended like it was an error with her stuff? Because maybe she got entry into the new world or something? It's just kind of the impression I get after reading that second to last tip.
I still don't really know how this new world stuff works though, where exactly is this factory? How exactly do people get in? I'd understand if the factory was just metaphorical but I really didn't get that impression reading the scene, it feels like an actual real thing and not a metaphor. And what exactly did Koshka do at the very end? I wonder if it's even possible to solve any of this at this point or if we need to wait for more information

I think Gunhild has two personalities - One is the main female one you see throughout 99% of the game, and then there's another male one the female personality isn't aware of.

The male personality is the one in control during Gunhild's visit to the secret facility, the one that has an SS- Security Clearance. We see that segment entirely from Gunhild's perspective and the auto-translator whenever one of the facility staff talks to her specifically uses "Sir". They even specifically flash forward to their "death" at the end of that Data Fragment, there's no way that's not on purpose.

My theory for that "death" is that the male personality faked the tech issues, made the female personality believe she "died", and forcefully took over heading off to do other stuff somewhere else.

We don't really know where this facility is at, but since all of the Warcats deployments are near Japan I think it's extremely unlikely the staff there speak Swedish, which means Gunhild's Kizuna translation app is what gets her the "Sir" and we know for a fact the results you get from that are very heavily influenced by your past experiences/ memories. In my opinion it's extremely likely there's more to it than just weird phrasing.

Honestly there's also the fact that I just like a theory with a hidden personality more since it means she didn't just lie and willingly betray her friends, ultimately it doesn't change that she almost definitely faked her death though

Even when Chloe's sadistic streak comes through, I'm not even convinced it's a separate personality right now, she's still extremely strict when it comes to her own beliefs, which at that point in time she is 100% behind Miyao's Order and keeping up the Wall of Peace.

I think Chloe probably realized Lilja wasn't really on their (Miyao's) side and took the chance to get rid off her in what could easily be explained away as an accident before she could do any more damage and leak even more information

>>22210110
have you read the tips? chloe's other personality is separate from chloe and she herself doesn't remember the things her other self did. they're completely different people, chloe herself wouldn't do it i think.

>Chloe asks Lilja who she is multiple times before she zaps her.
i thought it was just once. and the dislogue preceding that didn't seem that important either. maybe from what koshka said you could interpret that grave mole as a whole found out about lilja's purpose as koshkas watchdog of some sort.

If Miyao were to ever see Gunhild naked (or be sent a naked picture of her from one of her salty boyfriends), he would be able to save it to his selcom and literally look at her naked body in the picture in his brain, even as she talks to him face to face. It would mean her eternal humiliation.

Eventually, it would spread around and even the most hardass moralfags would probably have a copy of the video in their brains, where nobody can find it. Literally every person on Earth, including her close friends, including the fucking judge that sent her rapist to jail, they would all hypocritically keep a copy in absolute privacy, while claiming it's a terrible act and blablabla.

It would mean that humiliation is never-ending, eternal, perpetual, endless.

You could even become her friend just to have more fap material, since seeing her humiliated in your brain at the same time you get to know her as a person is pretty lewd.

People born with DID can mentally fight (not even joking) their alters or vice versa, and block them from surfacing for a while. The can also just agree to go dormant for a time and fuck off into the darkness, unaware of what's happening outside.

If Ryuukishi has done his research, which seems to be the case, or knows someone like that, he's probably inserted that into the story in an accurate way. By closing the door to her heart Meow means that she won't let Miyao remember any of the shit she's been doing even after he comes back. It's just a fancy metaphor.

They fucked around with the rules of that so much. For example, Herb falls into the spring Ranma falls into - he ends up as a female Herb.

But then Saffron and his bird buddies concoct a scheme to have his henchwoman drown Akane so she can take on Akane's form - and that actually somehow works - but if that somehow works, then why does Ranma and Herb's spring not turn them into a specific woman like the Spring of Drowned Akane?

That's what I mean. I don't find it lewd to embarrass a guy. He's still a guy.

Shannon feels like a girl and throught she was a girl her whole life, so humiliating her would be lewd even if she suddenly had an intact dick again. You are still humiliating someone that used to be a loli in her mind.

Same with Meow, more or less. Although she probably has a self-image that looks more like a girl. She just can't project her own mental image into a VR avatar, so she has to use her physical face.

That's what makes Miyao the main personality. He identifies with his appearance and has made sure that everyone in his social circle knows him and ignores Meow's existence. It's not about gender. If he had another male alter, that person probably wouldn't identify with his real face either.

I never said it didn't, you are moving the goalpost until something sticks. My point stands that emotional attachment is going to be moot unless there is an underlying physical compatibility on the male side, because normal men don't fall in love like women do but homos seem to find this impossible to comprehend.

The implication with your post was that your saying "physical factors" as opposed to "personality" (or "state of mind" as the person you responded to put it). What do you think people want to be girls spend all their time and effort doing? Making themselves look like a girl, making themselves look feminine.

Nothing you said is mutually exclusive. Its attraction to an average or above looking female phenotype which presumes female sexual organs for the ultimate goal of procreation and/or long-term mating. Only in todays whacked out world would we ever have to split hairs between a female phenotype and actual female genitalia.

Clearly there is grey area in a situation where you take average guys and you give them two sub-optimal choices of a masculine reverse-trap, and a chick with a dick and you force them to prefer one over the other. However that is a far cry from just speaking plainly that ideally, average men are going to mostly be attracted to females that look female and also, are in fact physically female and all this personality/mental gender shit is a lot of mostly irrelevant noise except in tranny/tumblr circles.

We were literally talking about a work of fiction. It sounds like you're just obsessed to be honest.

Is that 15 minutes of absolute hell not worth the near guarantee of eternal peace and the end of suffering? There's all the time in the world to psychologically deal with the trauma of the transfer. Hell, we've established that removing memories is possible using God's Wisdom. If God can remove the memory of the transfer, why are we even questioning the objective positive changes that the reaping would inevitably bring about?

Who's to say that all that's done I removal from the body? Nothing at all. In fact, we have pretty objective proof that some sort of digital afterlife, a virtual paradise, is what awaits. It's being heavily implied that CCPs are programs, replicas of a soul that was reaped and given the choice to regain flesh, via time shenanigans. God seems to view this as acceptable and safe, presuming that His game board could never be cleared. If both of ghesethese situations are true, what is a downside fo the reaping?

But Ranma is not a girl who acts like a man. He's a fucking man with the mind of a man and the memories of being a man. That's not attractive at all.

If anything, I'm attracted to the original owner of the body, who is being humiliated from beyond the grave by having her nude form exposed by a guy. If Ranma simply turned into a hot chick that was completely made up, with a body that never belonged to a real girl, it wouldn't be attractive either. Remember those doujins about a fat otaku turning into a loli overnight? It does nothing for me because it's a made up body and inside is the mind of a guy. It's not even the guy controlling a real loli's body.

Meanwhile, someone like Meow can be attractive because she has felt like a female since she was born. And even after growing up, her body still looks androgynous as fuck, by pure luck. That combination of factors can make her attractive, even if it's the body of a dude. Especially if you don't really know Miyao himself that much and don't associate the body to him (Jayden clearly just wants to fuck both, though). Sure, she's got a dick, but boy dicks and teenage dicks are lewd. Everything else about masculine guys isn't, neither their bodies nor their personalities, but dicks alone are good, especially on a childish body like Miyao's.

TL;DR: Wanting to fuck Ranma himself without wanting to humiliate the drowned girl is gay as fuck. Wanting to fuck a legit female split personality in a girly underdeveloped body is kinda gay but not too much. Being attracted in any way to someone who thinks of himself as a boy is fucking gay and only absolute faggots do that. Although I would make an exception if they were physically a 100% natural girl. Maybe.

Not true. The hard part is turning from biologic (analogue) existence to digital one.
All you have to do is not just scan and copy the brain "content", but extend your original brain first and gradually replace the parts. Thanks to brain's neuroplasticity the whole procedure should be imperceptible and could be easily accomplished.
Potentially, you can still worry about "ship of Theseus" kind of problem, but i think that's not that big of a deal, because you consciousness is not in particular neurons but created by the sum of all of them.

>Umineko is the best book ever
Can't agree with this. It's probably comes back to preference as I dislike the magic/fantasy aspect of Umineko but I do love the murder/mystery parts, which unfortunately was useless in the presence of magic/fantasy/. That's why, at the end of Umineko with Ange falling from the building, I chose to believe that everything that happened in the VN, from the meta world part to be specific, was just hallucinations inside Ange's broken mind. Of course I can't deny the meta world completely because of its vague connection with Higurashi, but still, if I don't deny witches I would have cursed every second I invested to complete Umineko.
>Just shkanontrice solution is shit!!!!
No it's not. That theory brought realism to Umineko and killed off the fantasy bullshit, so to me it has saved the VN.
>Ciconia would be a masterpiece if only the narrator speaks
Ciconia needs more to become a masterpiece than a pathetic thing like that. It's only the first episode so we have to wait. All I know is it's gonna be better than Umineko, bar the ending maybe, because Umineko's ending was incredible.

the original Greek manuscript
besides that it depends on who translates it because sometimes even a misplaced comma vastly changes the meaning; also, what was the source of the translation - Vulgate? Original manuscripts? Something else?
Also, if applying it to Ciconia remember that R07 will likely use his own language's versions - either the New Interconfessional Version (新共同訳聖書) meant for ecumenical use (and thus with some liberties taken when translating) or the New Japanese Bible (新改訳聖書), which strives for word-for-word translation (and thought-for-thought when possible)

i thought that was weird as well. on one hand miyao and koshka are naturally reaching that conclusion, but on the other hand it keeps being referred to as hell and the end of civilization.

maybe it has to do with some reincarnation cycles or player shenanigans.
also i think it is fair to call it a loss of freedom, not to mention the irreversible nature of it. your entire life would become an eternal farce.
depending on where you end up after the reaping, and who decides that, it might or might not be such a utopia.

I just read Our Confession for the first time.
As someone who never quite managed to "solve" any of the games, that bit about reading the manuscript pretty much disqualifying you from ever reaching the truth hit hard.

The bit about finding "The third story" she was writing wasn't exactly new either...though I don't know if it's something as simple as Beatrice wanting to show her guilt, and the lengths she went to to "punish" the lack of love in people's hearts.
The bit about how Beatrice herself couldn't understand that there's love in every heart is probably just about Battler, right? The way her belief that it was a lack of love that caused everything, and how it ended up warping her to that point.

Did Beatrice realize her folly at the very end, and wrote "that third story", her desire to be understood? I'm sure it can't be that simple.

Love is such a vague and ambiguous term that you can say that about literally any failure in anything.

If the Chernobyl Engineer had more "love" for science, if the tennis player had more "love" for practicing, if R07 had more "love" for drawing hands.


>Did Beatrice understand her folly
If she's putting out a manuscript that disqualifies you if you read it, probably not. Set up a million traps, watch as people fall in them, get mad at people for being dumb enough to fall into the traps and not angry at herself for setting them.

But approaching R07 from a moralistic perspective is retarded, believe me, I tried it. It's just sadism, bad faith writing, and Le Intellectual Rapist the whole way down, leading to of course despondent apathy.

But the character IS the author, in Beatrice's case quite a lot more literally than usual. And so you ask for discussion, and you receive it.

Beatrice's motivations are the "mystery of the series" but if what you yourself say is true, and reading our confessions means you'll never understand the truth, it also means you'll never understand Beatrice. So why bother asking?

Because the Confession also says that Beatrice created the manuscript to be understood, and that the stories contain a third side that she unknowingly buried in there.
What I want is the point of view of other readers who might or might not agree upon what what "third side" is.
There's a high chance that the "answer" is here is nothing more than something emotional or related to what Beatrice felt, so why even bother replying to my post?

While it thought it was insane from Ryu to use royalty free tracks for a 40 bucks VN, I must admit most are pretty good and fitting. "To the land of a certain time" really had some dai flair, so I was quite surprised when I learned that it was the same composer for Beach track.

Call it whatever you want, man.
Calling the Shkannontrice solution "what saved the VN" doesn't really shine a good light on the way you feel about the work.
In my opinion, the mystery is nothing more than an accessory to the meta world, that you can use as an answer key to why some things were represented in one way or another.
To me the characters (non-existent ones included) and their reasonings are much more important than whatever happened in the prime timeline.

You're free to disagree with that and enjoy the 'puzzle' aspect of the story on your own, but at least don't lash out at people trying to find their own enjoyment in the side of the story you dislike.

Where does it say that Seshat has any ties to the Translators/Order of the Holy Ark? (Also put Holy Ark, that's their name).

Seshat heavily implies she sees the Order of the Holy Ark as traitors while discussing with Toujirou, just like the World Reset Cult does. Beforehand, when she goes to retrieve the Wisdom from a traitor from her own order, she explicitly tells that only "traitors call Wisdom, Wisdom". Implying very strongly that she view the Order of the Holy Ark as traitors, because that's literally the only faction shown to call those things Wisdom.

Don't make me find the exact quote. Reread Seshat's scenes attentively.

She's not shown interacting with the Order or Takano. She's shown opening the Ark. Which is unsurprising, as she said that she would try to follow the Order of the Holy Ark movement to Toujirou.

Presumably because she doesn't know where the Holy Ark is (as she has no connections to them and seems to consider them traitors), but really want to open it for her own reasons.

I had a thought about this. At the end of Apocalypse (for those who don't know, "Revelation" in greek), the entire world is completely replaced with a new one.
You could probably map the war-free VR world they discuss to the one in Revelation. That's probably how that all fits in. If you look at Revelation as the game rules, the Son is an important piece. Miyao will be that piece if the prophecy is realized. If blue Miyao gets him to kill himself, obviously he wasn't that piece, and the prophecy won't be realized at this time. Though, that all seems kind of straight-forward, so I imagine I'm missing something.
To get back to your question, though? The Messiah ushering in the literal Kingdom of God could be presented as the ultimate evil depending on who is doing the presenting. The people being cast into hell forever would certainly see it that way.

The Order of the Holy Ark is named by Seshat. That's where Toujirou's ex wife is. Toujirou's ex wife transcended death in order to do whatever she wants, on the side from the rest of the factions, but she's considered a traitor by Seshat.

Toujirou had seemingly no contact since she went doing her own things with her own Order and stuff.

Completely coincidentally, Takano also has transcended death. She's also doing whatever she wants, escaped from the other factions. She's studying a holy "hatch" that could contain anything. She's also seens a traitor and would be most unwilling to contact her ex-husband, too occupied with science.

The issue I've seen in Ciconia is that Ryukishi writes both ultra SJW and heavily implies that being ultra SJW leads to the literal destruction of the human race. That's the subtlety right there. Far more subtle than what I'd give to Ryukishi usually.

He basically laughs at SJW politics in the first quarter of the story, with characters having a very incompatible and incoherent philosophy of "being tolerant" and "accepting our tolerance is intolerant and trying to be tolerant of intolerance in the name of the intolerant tolerants tolerance (?)".

That makes absolutely no sense, and that's the entire point. Then everyone die because their beliefs aren't quite compatible with, say, reality.

I have been surprised by the relative subtlety of Ciconia, especially in comparison with, say, Higurashi or Umineko.

Yeah, they'll be great soldiers with all that P3 ability, but having to share half of your life with someone else, deal with friends of your alter that you don't care about or be trapped in a body that doesn't correspond with your self-image must make for a crappy life.

Why are you theorizing about who's CPP? It's been mentioned that the majority of gauntlet knights are CPPs and only rare occasions where the person isn't a CPP would be able to join like in Jayden's situation.

Because making theories is the fun part of When They Cry? Were you even here when Umineko was coming out?
Rather than just saying "nearly all of them are CPPs, move on" what you should be doing is pointing out when they behave differently and an alternate may be speaking. Identifying the alternates is the interesting part.
Take for example Momotake. I think Momotake has a female alternate who is seen very sparingly and he constantly judges other men because her presence makes him uncomfortable. But that's just my theory in progress.

Yeah. My current thought is that the traitors are probably only partial traitors and CPP is exactly why. They already showed that Meow can keep things hidden from Miyao, so an alt personality observing and feeding information back (and probably taking action when appropriate) without the awareness of the main personality we're shown seems obvious to me.

Like >>22213845 says, identifying when characters switch is going to be an important part of solving things, and there'll be a lot of "oh, wow, that makes perfect sense in hindsight" moments in that regard once we actually know everything

So right before Gunhild's death and before Chloe kills Lilja we get those flashbacks to the tip scenes. Does anyone have any idea what they could mean. I'm not willing to write these off as just for dramatic effect or whatever, I'm pretty sure there has to be some very deliberate reason they were put there.
I can't really think of anything solid though. Given that they're tips there's the chance that they didn't even happen in this timeline or anything, there could be all kinds of fuckery going on there. But that's the thing, there could be any amount of random fuckery so it's hard to actually theorise. If we assume that both of these flashbacks are related then it can imply that whoever is having them is observing both Gunhild and Chloe, and has witnessed both of those tip scenes. It's not really clear who was able to witness Chloe killing Lilja though. Again this could be all sorts of fuckery so it's hard to really theorise just having a million undeveloped ideas that are almost certainly all nonsense.

Okay so all revelation stuff I can think of
>The Throne of God appears, surrounded by twenty four thrones with Twenty-four elders seated in them. (4:1–5)
The formation of the It's a Wrap room with 24 Gauntlet knights
>The four living creatures are introduced. (4:6–11)
Four traitors are introduced right after the bath is created
>A scroll, with seven seals, is presented and it is declared that the Lion of the tribe of Judah, from the "Root of David", is the only one that will be worthy to open this scroll in the future (5:1–5)
Evil Miyao's prophecy begins
>First Seal: A white horse appears, whose crowned rider has a bow with which to conquer. (6:1–2)
Territory disputes start
>Second Seal: A red horse appears, whose rider is granted a "great sword" to take peace from the earth. (6:3–4)
War and conflicts start
>Third Seal: A black horse appears, whose rider has "a pair of balances in his hand", where a voice then says, "A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine." (6:5–6)
Famine starts
>Fourth Seal: A pale horse appears, whose rider is Death, and Hades follows him. Death is granted a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (6:7–8)
First deaths in the story
>Fifth Seal: "Under the altar", appeared the souls of martyrs for the "word of God", who cry out for vengeance. They are given white robes and told to rest until the martyrdom of their brothers is completed. (6:9–11)
No clue
>Sixth Seal: There occurs a great earthquake where "the sun becomes black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon like blood" (6:12).
The normal earthquake
>Interlude: The 144,000 Hebrews are sealed
LATO orders a truce but everyone they gather dies in the explosion
>Seventh Seal: An eighth angel takes a "golden censer", filled with fire from the heavenly altar, and throws it to the earth (8:3–5). What follows are "peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake" (8:5).
Mario does Mario stuff

Now the trumpets
>First Trumpet: Hail and fire, mingled with blood, are thrown to the earth burning up a third of the trees and green grass. (8:6–7)
Bombing on major cities
>Second Trumpet: Something that resembles a great mountain, burning with fire, falls from the sky and lands in the ocean. It kills a third of the sea creatures and destroys a third of the ships at sea. (8:8–9)
4D printers
>Third Trumpet: A great star, named Wormwood, falls from heaven and poisons a third of the rivers and springs of water. (8:10–11)
4D printed objects break water 8MS
>Fourth Trumpet: A third of the sun, the moon, and the stars are darkened creating complete darkness for a third of the day and the night. (8:12–13)
Pollution clouds the sky
>Fifth Trumpet:From out of the smoke, locusts who are "given power like that of scorpions of the earth" (9:3), who are commanded not to harm anyone or anything except for people who were not given the "seal of God" on their foreheads (from chapter 7) (9:4).
Drone revolt
>Sixth Trumpet:The four angels bound to the great river Euphrates are released to prepare two hundred million horsemen.
Traitors reveal Miyao's order of Don't Die Don't Kill
>These armies kill a third of mankind by plagues of fire, smoke, and brimstone.
Not exactly true but the 3 Kings reach this result
>Interlude: The little scroll. (10:1–11)
Truce happens
>An angel appears, with one foot on the sea and one foot on the land, having an opened little book in his hand.
Jestress chases someone on top of the water
>Two witnesses prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. (11:1–14)

And the upcoming stuff
>The temple of God opens in heaven, where the ark of His covenant can be seen. There are lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
Clearly Takano fuckery, very likely that the 1000 years door opens(Seshat is implied to talk to someone who was sleeping inside)
>A Woman "clothed with a white robe, with the sun at her back, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" is in pregnancy with a male child
Miyao's mother, the white robe could be Takano's labcoat
>A great Dragon (with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads) drags a third of the stars of Heaven with his tail, and throws them to the Earth. (12:3–4). The Dragon waits for the birth of the child so he can devour it. However, sometime after the child is born, he is caught up to God's throne while the Woman flees into the wilderness into her place prepared of God that they should feed her there for 1,260 days (3½ years). (12:5–6). War breaks out in heaven between Michael and the Dragon, identified as that old Serpent, the Devil, or Satan (12:9). After a great fight, the Dragon and his angels are cast out of Heaven for good, followed by praises of victory for God's kingdom. (12:7–12). The Dragon engages to persecute the Woman, but she is given aid to evade him. Her evasiveness enrages the Dragon, prompting him to wage war against the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (12:13–17)
The dragon is Satan, and he sleeps underground for a thousand years so this has to be related to the door
It makes sense that if God is one of the Players then Takano would oppose Satan and send the Angels(Blue Girls) to attack the dragon
>A Beast (with seven heads, ten horns, and ten crowns on his horns and on his heads names of blasphemy) emerges from the Sea, having one mortally wounded head that is then healed. The people of the world wonder and follow the Beast. The Dragon grants him power and authority for forty-two months.
>The Beast of the Sea blasphemes God's name (along with God's tabernacle and His kingdom and all who dwell in Heaven), wages war against the Saints, and overcomes them.
>Then, a Beast emerges from the Earth having two horns like a lamb, speaking like a dragon. He directs people to make an image of the Beast of the Sea who was wounded yet lives, breathing life into it, and forcing all people to bear "the mark of the Beast", "666". Events leading into the Third Woe:
>The Lamb stands on Mount Zion with the 144,000 "first fruits" who are redeemed from Earth and victorious over the Beast and his mark and image
who the fuck knows what this means
>The proclamations of three angels.
>One like the Son of Man reaps the earth.
>A second angel reaps "the vine of the Earth" and throws it into "the great winepress of the wrath of God... and blood came out of the winepress... up to one thousand six hundred stadia."
Sounds like the Factory happens here
>Seven bowls are poured onto Earth:
>First Bowl: A "foul and malignant sore" afflicts the followers of the Beast.
This happens way earlier, maybe it's the immortality thing?
>Second Bowl: The Sea turns to blood and everything within it dies.
>Third Bowl: All fresh water turns to blood.
>Fourth Bowl: The Sun scorches the Earth with intense heat and even burns some people with fire.
>Fifth Bowl: There is total darkness and great pain in the Beast's kingdom.
>Sixth Bowl: The Great River Euphrates is dried up and preparations are made for the kings of the East and the final battle at Armageddon between the forces of good and evil.
>Seventh Bowl: A great earthquake and heavy hailstorm: "every island fled away and the mountains were not found."
Shits fucked
>Aftermath: Vision of John given by "an angel who had the seven bowls"
The great Harlot who sits on a scarlet Beast (with seven heads and ten horns and names of blasphemy all over its body) and by many waters: Babylon the Great. The angel showing John the vision of the Harlot and the scarlet Beast reveals their identities and fates (17:1–18)
Represents Decadence
New Babylon is destroyed. (18:1–8)
The people of the Earth (the kings, merchants, sailors, etc.) mourn New Babylon's destruction. (18:9–19)
The permanence of New Babylon's destruction. (18:20–24)
Either the factory is destroyed or humanity is
>multiple paragraphs of bullshit until Jesus makes everyone immortal and saves the day
This is pretty strange because the factory seemed like the endgame of God but humanity wins at the end anyway, and the only way that makes sense is if in Revelations humanity winning at the end is the factory, but the factory sounds like it happens before that

The public bath VR room. The Throne is supposed to appear before a Sea of Glass and the VR room is modeled after a hotel with a view straight onto that. It's also "surrounded by twenty four thrones with Twenty-four elders seated in them" meaning the 24 gauntlet knights.

Both are about destroying the sea and rivers and both happen because of things falling from space = 4D printed objects from space messing with the 8MS responsible for water

>4th trumpet
no idea honestly

>5th trumpet (first woe)
Not much is pointing to it, but I feel like this is about Miyao's order. During the first woe, Locusts will appear with considerable strenght and defenses who will kill anyone except those with the mark of God, similar to how Miyao's order tries to not kill anyone.

>6th trumpet (2nd woe)
An army kills a 3rd of all of humanity = the drones killing like 3.5 billion people. Interesting to note is, that 4 angels release the army. Maybe the traitors are responsible, but I imagine it's rather Seshat's fault.

That's where the events from phase 1 seem to end, but there still are some connections to be made.

>Not!Takano's 1000 year catbox
Revelation mentions an abyss in which the dragon, one of the 7 spiritual beasts, will be imprisoned for 1000 after which it tries to start a war but gets defeated. During this time Jesus will reign over the earth, probably what the 3 kings try to accomplish.

>Human factory
One like the Son of God and an angel will both reap the earth/"the vine of earth". It also mentions a great winepress with blood coming out of it, similar to how the gore prophecy was shown to be.

>Toujirou "editing" the book
22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
It's still lacking in quite a few areas, but I feel like this is atleast getting close to

Yeah he's fucked




It still isn't a perfect fit and I probably have quite a few things wrong, but I feel like I'm atleast getting somewhere close to the truth.

And unlike >>22213623 i actually enjoyed the middle of it since you can feel how tired/scared the characters are the getting after working so hard and watching things only getting worse.

What if it's a VR inside a VR inside...? I/O style recursion of the world.

>> No.22214609

You all started talking about this anyway as I was writing this up but here's a theory I came up with in the shower:

I've been thinking about what those blue girls are. The only other we know anything about is blue Miyao, and he's a program. If these other blue girls are also programs it would make sense why they act as emotionless guards performing the task they were told to do. It would also explain how they got gauntlets.

How do they exist in Vier's lab then? Maybe the entire lab is in virtual reality. This explains how Vier is immortal and 'escaped the shackles of her humanity' or whatever Toujirou said. It's also why people think she's dead, since her body can die while she lives on in VR. We previously thought they were underground because Mario's earthquake machine caused a physical reaction in the world, but maybe the machine was a virtual representation of him programming and hacking the 8MS. Surely if the 8MS can prevent earthquakes they can cause them too? Or maybe it was just a side-effect of disabling them.

This lead to me thinking that maybe 'Wisdom' could be some sort of program and they're translating the code, but Seshat had Wisdom in the real world at one point. What if the entire world was currently in VR? The meat factory happened in the real world in the past and put everyones brains in VR, where they are now acting out the same thing again. This adds the time loop element, and explains how blue Miyao knows what's going to happen. The only people that seem to know about this are Vier's group, Toujirou and Seshat.

Everything being VR also explains what 8MS is, if you think of it as the parameters of the virtual world being changed.

Mario also was able to fuck up with the real world

i've been pretty much on the same track. i also thought that the lab was most definitely not something we could take at face value.
my idea was that the arc members were taken for their brains, and those are then used to decode existing data about technology from ww3, hence "translation" instead of "research". after decoding something the brain dies of exhaustion and is used up, and that's why they always kill themselves in story.

that being said, i wasn't willing to go as far as saying the entire world is VR just yet. mainly because it sounds silly.

the angel catch sounds plausible, but remember that not-miyao said that his appearance was just a placeholder.

So if they die of old age in the happy timeline they are just reborn again in another fragment? Hopefully without any bad shit happening in half of them because Lambda isn't influencing the odds anymore?

IS THIS WHY THEY SEALED THE GLASS SEA AND FORBID PEOPLE FROM INVESTIGATING IT AND KYOTO? To prevent witches/meta entities from escaping the meta?

Maybe all spiritium fields in the world are holes covered in glass. Maybe the meta entities that ascend to godhood (like Featherine almost did) just get sucked by human machines and turned into spiritium fuel.

I'm never bothered by those retcons because I can ignore future stuff that obviously wasn't planned whenever I reread a story.

I could enjoy Higurashi on its own, without taking into account the unplanned retcons from 20 years later. But I could also enjoy Ciconia even if it requires me to consider that retcon canon while I'm engaged with it.

I would just accept the premise for that story alone, without retroactively applying it to Higurashi when I reread it.

If Meow is not!Miyao and the factory scene was from her perspective, maybe they were actually brother and sister in real life and they got merged into one being when they got put in VR. Maybe all the gauntlet knights with CPP were multiple people in the real world.
