Shannon is so cute! I want to humiliate Shannon! How would you humiliate Shannon?

If I was Genji, I would reveal everything and stop the bomb after the second twilight of EP2, ruining Shannon's suicide plan halfway through. Shannon would have to spend the rest of her tranny life in prison waiting for her execution, knowing that she ruined Joji and Batora's lives and killed a perfect 10/10 girl like Jessica.

I wonder how Shannon would feel as her tranny ass gets fucked by the other inmates. Is having your boy ass fucked pleasurable when you don't even have a dick? I don't think so!

>> No.16960414 [DELETED] 

>>16960247
I would remove the trigger entirely, letting Shannon think that she would die by the end. Imagine her accepting her death near midnight, then wondering why she's still alive and why the bomb didn't blow up. She would have to face all those deaths and actually kill herself..

Another option is to have George fall in love with Jessica and abandon Shannon.

>> No.16960812 [DELETED] 

I like how the manga explained a lot of shit more directly and added details like Lion having six toes.

I'm not sure how I feel about Kanon existing IRL before Yasu solved the epitaph. I get that having Battler forget about that letter made her give up on him and realize that Battler probably wouldn't like her because she doesn't look anything like a woman. And she most likely told Kumasawa about her problems, who came up with the idea of Yasu acting as Kanon once in a while to see if she feels more comfortable as a boy. She must have arranged something with Genji to make it possible, believing that it would help Yasu accept the truth when the time comes.

But I prefer how it was done in the novel, even though Ryukishi made it look like Kanon was created on a whim for no reason. The novel implied that Kanon was just an imaginary male friend that would help her forget about Battler and trash talk everyone in the mansion. And once she became the new head, she was able to arrange everything to make him exist, having every reason to do so.

I just can't see that timid girl going along with Kumasawa's idea, even as an experiment. On the other hand, I can totally imagine Yasu realizing that she's missing something (a dick) and being attracted to Jessica. But in any case, she wouldn't treat the Kanon persona seriously until it's revealed that she's an eunuch and maybe should try to live as a man.

Another change that I'm not sure if I like is the explanation for EP3. The novel implied that, while they were arguing about the gold, Eva pushed Rosa towards that shap fence and accidentally killed her. Then she panicked and silenced Maria. After that, she told Hideyoshi what happened and he tried to cover for her.

As we saw in EP7 Tea Party, Eva is terrified of the idea of going to jail. So she probably snapped and started killing people that got too close to the truth, like Rudolf and Kyrie. But Kyrie killed Hideyoshi in her last moments, as implied by EVAtrice's comments in Kyrie's death profile.

Meanwhile, Yasu kept killing people without realizing that Eva had solved the epitaph, since the greedy bitch decided not to tell anyone about it. That's why Yasu wrote that PIN number on George's door, as compensation for her fuck up. Also, she probably chose George as one of the sacrifices to take revenge on Eva, who had killed Maria (the main reason she bothered to disguise the murders as Beatrice's magic ritual) in a painful way. Notice that with Maria out of the way, Yasu keeps killing people without trying to make it look like magic. She just doesn't care anymore.

And Eva just keeps killing people too, not wanting to leave any witnesses that could tie her to Rosa/Maria's murder and having become insane after Hideyoshi's death. It's all a big fuck up for both Eva and Yasu.

The only thing I don't understand is if Yasu is the one dropping stakes near the corpses. The death profiles imply that Eva is the one doing it to make it look like the other culprit is the only culprit, but there's no way she's your usual accomplice and I don't see where she could have found them by herself.

My problem with the manga is that it literally says that Eva was a bribed accomplice. It makes no sense. Only Rosa would ever go along with such a plan knowing that the murders are real. Eva and Hideyoshi were accomplices in EP1, but they never realized that the deaths were real. And everything in EP3 hints towards Eva accidentally killing Rosa and Yasu killing people after the epitaph was solved because Eva didn't tell anyone.

Another difference I'm not sure if I like is the voice of the man from 19 years ago. In the original, voiceless novel, Natsuhi said that the man's voice sounded a bit ambiguous, implying that it was Yasu's voice. He was trying really hard to sound like a pissed off 19 year old guy seeking revenge, saying very creepy and threatening stuff, but his voice still sounded like a middle schooler's because he lost his balls.

The voice patch makes him sound almost exactly like Battler. It's very obviously the same voice actor. It makes a lot of sense, because Battler was an accomplice in EP5 (that regretted it later on and tried to defend Natsuhi). Yasu probably had him read a script during the phone calls. It makes Meta-Battler's counter-theory about Battler being the baby even more credible. But I don't like how it kind of contradicts the text saying that the voice sounds ambiguous and removes the emotional impact of an extremely bitter Yasu calling Natsuhi himself and saying all those mean things.

you see I don't feel that way. To me the way how episode 8's manga handled the events of episode 8 lost a lot of the magic to me.

What do you mean? What POV choice?

>The idea that the magic ending was the start of everything in the meta world was kind of dumb for me
You mean the bit with the drowning scene leading in to the start of Legend? Yeah, I get how that might not sit well with some, since it makes the first tea party more confusing. But personally, I thought it was handled rather well, and it was a nice way to further tie Tohya into the epilogue by having him come to terms with his lost identity and letting it rest in the Golden Land.

But even setting that aside, I think the other changes were very well done. The hide-and-seek scene's felt a lot more emotionally charged than the quiz tournament was. Erika's rematch with Battler being over Episode 5's events rather than a hypothetical closed room gave her a chance to redeem her previous failure. Having the Ushiromiya's fight against the future interpretations of themselves made the battle of the Golden Land feel much more personal than when it was just a bunch of faceless goats. Finally, Confession of the Golden Witch is something I think everyone who reads the vn should see at some point. I'm not saying the original was bad at all, but seeing all those minor tweaks and additions made reading the manga really enjoyable for me.

Well, considering the amount of stuff he wrote leading up to these years is extraordinary. 5-7 million word count since EP1 of Higurashi.
I can only guess but, his works don't seem to have the spirit.
It all feels like post Umineko/Higurashi analysis of the truths he finds in his daily life.

Higurashi and Umineko didn't have so much insight in things. It was more passionate and hot blooded, things were happening. I cannot feel the same in RGD. Its like a man looking in retrospect at things, imparting wise words upon us.
Sure they are wise and interesting, but there is no burning passion.
Not a single scene in RGD captures the raw you get in Higurashi and Umineko.

I am not mad at Ryukishi, the works are great, but WTC had set the bar too high...

Sure it has ambients ranging from classy to fun fun fun, with a wide cast of colorful underworld type characters.
But the whole things just seems to be holding back on something. It's like Ryukishi didn't want to talk withe me anymore about things that mattered, and rather started talking with himself about things that didn't matter. This may or may not make sense, make of it what you will.

This. It's not his best work and it isn't like WTC, but it still has some really good moments and characters, it just takes some time for things to escalate because of how much needs to be built up.

Maybe, but Eva's supposed to be the most fit of the aunts. She probably wouldn't sag that much even with no support thanks to all her martial arts training. Kyrie's bra would have to be pretty sturdy to push them up like that, especially given the weight they must have.

What was your favorite locked room mystery in Umineko before you knew the answer/the answer was revealed?
I think mine was in EP1, Eva and Hideyoshi's locked room mystery with the chained door. I spent hours trying to figure out how it would be possible. I had about ten theories or something near the end.

Does anyone remember which stakes were used in each twilight?

In EP2, Jessica and Kanon were killed by Asmodeus, the stake of lust. And that whole scene was fucking weird.

Beatrice: "Kanon, try showing me your blade!"

*whips out blade*

Jessica: "W-What the actual fuck, Kanon-kun?"

Kanon: "I didn't want to show you..."

Kanon: "Something like this... can't even be used to trim the roses."

Beatrice: "Kyaaahahahahahaha, how does it feel to have the fact that you are a subhuman being exposed in front of the girl you have feelings for?! You furnituuuuuuuure!"

How am I supposed to interpret this shit? Did Kanon literally show Jessica his nonexistent dick? Did he tell her that he is the culprit? Did he just tell her about his lack of dick?

I think he was comforting Jessica because she had a breakdown after seeing her parents dead. And she decided to kiss Kanon and grab his balls, basically acting like a slut. If they start doing lewd things, the excitement will make her forget about her sadness for a while. But after Jessica realized that he had no dick or balls, Kanon snapped and killed her.

Alternatively, Kanon felt bad for her and chose her as the next sacrifice to release her from the pain of losing her parents.

In any case, this would explain why the stake of lust was used to kill them. Kanon is killing everyone because he lost his manhood as a baby and is extremely bitter about it. And if my theory is correct, Jessica is obsessed with sex and trying to use it to forget about the tragedy that just happened.

I feel that Umineko should have gone with somewhat more simple approach. The meta stuff got a bit too disconnected from heart of the story. Meta Battler and Beatrice would have made a lot more sense as the Meta Counterparts of Ange and Eva than a fever dream of the real life Battler.

Just have it be Ange and Eva fighting on Eva's deathbed. Eva dies when Beatrice dies - when all the boardgames are cleared and the bitter truth is revealed. Ange feels a little sad because while Eva was a cunt Ange also realized Eva genuinely loved and wanted to protect her. Eva dies at least a little bit happy, and Ange moves on with her life.

Less is more, sometimes. It's nice to try to make broader points about fiction in general, but if your big triumphant moment is a caricature of Jessica shouting at Goats about how her imaginary crossdressing murderer boyfriend wasn't a bad guy I wonder if you really needed to go as meta as you did.

Because even Rifyu's characters have more depth to them than Episode 8 did

Higurashi still seems to be the best to in teaching the reader the best thing to do.
Talk it out with someone you trust.
Umineko does the same as Higurashi, but instead, it shows what happens if you don't talk to somebody.

All Yasu had to do was talk to Battler.

Granted, I doubt Battler would even listen to her. Would probably call her crazy and would hate her for being weird.
But wasn't it all about taking a miraculous chance in the roulette?

I feel sad both at Yasu for being unable to talk, the things that made her lose hope in the chance that somebody will actually listening to her, and probably Battler for being unable to be a better person and help Yasu.

If you think about it, it's practically confirmed that the Higurashi and Umineko girls have full natural bushes between their legs. This is the 80s. In Japan.

It's not just this fetishist anon's delusion, it's literally canon. Isn't it simply mindblowing? Rena is so cute, but she actually has a lewd teenage bush down there. Embarrassing!

Pubic hair is really mindblowing. There is no other word to describe it.

Ange is an edgy antisocial bitch that is always talking shit about people and pretending that she doesn't care about anything. She is honestly pretty badass and her outfit is really cool. I love her personality.

But if you strip her naked, you only see a pathetic human being with a wild hairy pussy, armpit stubble and stupid-looking ass cheeks. Humans look ridiculous when they are naked. She's an animal. And yet, she acts like she has dignity and doesn't take shit from anyone. It's the contrast between her attitude and her shameful human condition that makes her extremely fun to humiliate.

Most humans are like that. Nobody wants to be seen naked. Nobody wants to admit that they poop, even though it's obvious that everyone does it. Angsty teenagers like Ushiromiya Angste have the perfect personality when it comes to humiliation. She should be the protagonist of a Guglielmo doujin.

So my autistic friend recently got into Umineko and he sent me his "theory" about less than a quarter way into Ep.3

He managed to already 'figure out' the whole Shkanontrice thing, and that Genji, Nanjo and Kumasawa are accomplices, and that Eva and Hideyoshi were bribed in Ep. 1. Do you think it's bullshit? Even without his past history of being a self-spoiler and being bad at solving media plots, it seems unlikely for him to figure so much out this early.

Hello fellow seacats,

A few months ago I made a couple of posts as I went through Higurashi for the first time. I stopped short of Minagoroshi, mainly because I didn't have a fully fleshed out theory for Tatarigoroshi, but I'm going through the last two chapters now. My current understanding is basically thus.

-Culprits are Takano and Tomitake, this has to be right due to the small cast. A "Takano" corpse is found in a drum when we know she's walking around + she has Tomitake's bike after he kills himself. Motive is probably retarded, propagate the curse isn't good enough since they're fucking slaughtering the town.
-Irie is probably in on it, he creates the throat scratch medicine, has an army of goons that go after K in Onikakushi and Tatarigoroshi and kills himself way too often.
-Rika is magic and thus I believe HAS TO DIE for the plan to work. She never mentions the gas attack I believe so she always dies before it?
-Gas attack is averted in Mion and Shion's chapters so Shion got the right person even though Takano is fine? My guess is that Rika died too quick so the plan doesn't work.

For Tatarigoroshi specifically, after K ices Teppei, his friends move the corpse and act like everything's fine at school to give him an alibi. Satoko's gone nuts with brain bugs so she still thinks he's alive. After that I've got nothing, how he wishes death on people or how he survives the disaster.

>>17003884
Seems very unlikely to figure that much out so early into reading. I wouldn't say impossible since Ryukishi used twins to deceive the readers in Higurashi and one could immediately suspect Shannon and Kanon because of it, but there's really not enough clues for one to just figure it out and be so confident about it. The large cast creates a lot of possible culprits.
The first quarter of Episode 3 has Shannon mentioning how Battler told her he would ride in on a white horse, but it's only near the end of Episode 4 is where it's hinted about that part of their past being connected to Beatrice.
It's also around the point where Rosa remembers meeting Beatrice and getting her killed, and it being confirmed in red that a Beatrice really did exist and die.
However, one major clue by that point is Kanon's body disappearing in the 1st and 2nd episode. Ryukishi also likes to drop hints and the truth in plain sight that one would normally brush off or forget, so it's possible for one to take note of these.

You could try asking questions about that theory involving knowledge that only comes up in later episodes, to try and poke a hole into it and expose him for spoiling himself.

Featherine is supposed to be the meta representation of the mysterious author "Hachijo Toya". But this is just the pen name of Toya and Ikuko. So... Featherine is actually two different people in the real world. She isn't just Ikuko, she represents both of them.

If this is true, it means that none of the meta is real. But it's strongly implied that Featherine and the meta world actually exist, and that Ikuko is actually Featherine's human incarnation in a lower plane of existence. All her real world backstory is real, but only because she literally "wrote" that reality herself.

This means that Featherine is Ikuko. She presented herself as "Hachijo Toya" in EP6 because that's their pen name and nobody is supposed to know that they are two people, but this doesn't mean that the actual Toya is part of Featherine.

So, I'm at the beginning of ep 6, and I think I got it, atleast the whole "magic" aspect of it.

I have three theories.

Witches on the "gameboard" are humans, but they are "distorted" in apperance because everybody views the killer as "witch". In other words, most people call serial killers in the real world monsters, but because of umineko's setting people tend to imagine evil as witches instead of monsters. In EP. 3, when EVA-Beatrice is denied, she becomes normal eva. Usually when things are explain in detail they lose their fear factor, so that's why eva reverted. This is assuming that EP. 3 can be even trusted, because the whole north wind and sun thing makes you question what was and wasnt "real".

My second theory is that this entire series is just the the forgories written by Tohya. Self-explanatory.

Finally, all magic shown are all delusions, and some events are delusions aswell.

Finally, I think I should just dump some other things I've thought of.

The cheister sisters are obviously guns.

the stakes are just that, some "demonic" prop thing, exception being when ange killed all those bodyguards, to explain that I say she was delusional (mammon admitted they were just figments of her imagination) and either somebody from afar or she herself shot them, and in her eyes they were "stabbed" by the stakes.

Bernkastel and Lambdadelta are personifications of concepts such as miracles and fate. To put it simply, they use others as their playthings because of phrases such as "fate is cruel" "fate's plaything" etc.

Dlanor is a personification of using the decalogue to solve the mystery maybe one character wanted to approach the crime using things they learned from reading books.

I personally love the idea of the meta being real, even if it turns out that the meta characters and pieces are only embodiments of concepts and shit, and their real world versions remain dead without experiencing any of it.

It also fits with the Hanyu/Featherine theory. Hanyu had the power to modify reality and become a real human.

I wonder if we will see Featherine in some form in WTC5. She is not exactly likable, but her power level is incredible. The very plane of her existence is fascinating. All that stuff about the massive city of books and how she could insert herself as a real person inside the worlds she created was incredible.

If you want to understand Umineko, don't consider anything a "delusion". Nobody is delusional. It's just a fancy interpretation of what's going on. Natsuhi wasn't literally going insane during EP5.

It's obvious that the meta is real. Featherine literally created a world where Ange visits Ikuko, bit she let her keep her memories from EP4, which was also a world she created. She also used the red truth IRL and those words of power made everyone accept the diary as truth.

This probably means that Umineko is just one of the millions of worlds she created. There is no Rokkenjima Prime or anything like that. All the versions of the future are real worlds she "wrote" in the meta, including the EP8 endings.

Why is Rosa such an idiot in EP 2?

I understand that she is being bribed by Sayo, but really, does she actually think she is going to be let go at the end of the game? Most of the murders after the second twilight are just Sayo killing off accomplices, so why does she think she's any different? She could have turned on Sayo at any time, and she most likely would have had the numbers to overtake her, plus Sayo was with the group for most of the game, so Sayo couldn't sneak up on them. The fact that she still is upholding the facade at the end of the game with the whole "Battler is a wolf" scene really drives home how ridiculous her priorities must be, regardless of whether she is just following a script by Sayo.

honestly though, I feel like this for most of the accomplices. The fact that Kyrie is the only accomplice that ever thinks they might not get their end of the deal boggles my mind, like you need to use fucking game theory to figure out that a raving lunatic planning to slaughter their whole family might not be the most trustworthy person.

I mean, I can accept that people will murder all of their living relatives for a huge sum of money (even if it is a stretch), but the idea that they would trust this setup to come out in their favor is really dumb. Of course, it wouldn't really be a mystery novel if one of the accomplices just turned on the culprit and spilled the beans.

In the original novel, the guy on the phone could have been either Battler or Sayo. But the PS3 version confirmed that it was Battler. It makes sense, considering that Lion sounds like a total faggot even with his balls intact. Sayo needed a male accomplice around her age to do the voice.

Just like she bribed literally everyone except Battler in EP4, she bribed almost everyone in EP5. She probably contacted the relatives at some point, revealed everything, promised them a lot of gold and convinced them to go along with a plan to frame Natsuhi during the day of the family conference, forcing her to admit that she's hiding Kinzo's death and confess to her crime of 19 years ago.

Battler was close to Shannon, so he would probably go along with such a plan if she made Natsuhi look like a complete monster and revealed what she did to her.

Jessica didn't know the real purpose of this game, she just thought it would be a hilarious prank. George and Maria are always on Shannon's side. And Krauss was killed for real shortly after he was drugged and kidnapped.

Of course, nobody knew that Sayo was planning to actually kill Krauss and blow up the island after everything was over.

Hideyoshi's death was probably staged. She wouldn't just kill one of the accomplices like that, because everyone else would get suspicious.

Erika's presence must have been a problem. Her piece version actually believed that Natsuhi and Kinzo were the culprits, and proceeded to solve the case quickly. I bet they were planning even more shit to corner Natsuhi with. That whole scene in Kinzo's study must have been part of their plan. They wanted to leave room for Kinzo to exist so trick Natsuhi into a false sense of security. Hell, Battler literally told Erika that he had seen Kinzo outside to make her believe in her theory even more strongly.

Battler probably felt bad for Natsuhi at some point and defended her, realizing that she didn't really deserve any of this crap. Especially when Erika accused her of having an affair with Kinzo.

It would explain why the stakes appeared near the corpses (the death profiles implied that it was Eva who placed them there) and why Eva started killing people randomly at some point. She was forced to do all that shit by Yasu.

But I believe that she really found the gold by herself and accidentally killed Rosa after she threatened to reveal the fact that they had found the gold. Then she silenced Maria and told Hideyoshi what had happened.

If that's the case, when did she become an accomplice? The deaths of Rosa and Maria must have been an accident. Yasu would never want Maria to die like that. She must have been bribed after that murder, but how?

Hideyoshi is implied to have been killed by a dying Kyrie. His death profile says something along the lines of "damn, she was still alive". The scene where Hideyoshi scolds Eva Beatrice must have happened right after Eva killed Kyrie and Rudolf, who were trying to make Hideyoshi confess and reveal that Eva killed Rosa. Hideyoshi didn't think it was necessary to kill them.

But the PIN in George's closed room always looked like an apology. As if Yasu was saying "I kept killing people because you were too greedy and didn't let anyone know that you had solved the epitaph, so I had no idea". She probably decided to kill George to make Eva miserable, because it was obvious that she was the one who killed Maria. Eva's greed killed her husband and son.

However, this doesn't fit with the idea that Eva was bribed.

If she was just an accomplice, EVA Beatrice wouldn't be a thing. Or Rosatrice would have appeared in EP2. That witch was portrayed as having hijacked Beato's game and ruined her original plans. The scene where she kills Rosa and Maria in horrible ways was given a lot of importance.

Rosa, Kyrie and Rudolf are the only ones that would do any of this shit for money. The siblings don't like each other, but they are not complete monsters. By the end of EP3 Eva was probably fucking insane after all the shit that happened.

Did Dlanor stop growing because Knox died and he can't expand the decalogue anymore? Is that why she's a KID?

It's because she killed her dad

Why did Ryukishi have to kill Lion in EP7 tea party just for few laughs? I enjoyed the ending of the main episode...

It doesn't even make sense. It's all Bernkastel's bullshit. She deliberately chose a world where Kyrie and Rudolf were sent by the Sumadera family to find and steal the gold or some shit.

Otherwise, why the fuck would they kill everyone if nobody is there to tell them about the bomb? Even if Kinzo told them about it for some stupid reason, the cash card doesn't even exist without Yasu, so all the gold would just blow up and they would have nothing to gain.

It's total bullshit. The whole idea of Lion only existing in that one world is a complete lie.

Isn't its d-pad kinda bad? Never used one, though, but that's what everyone says

Yeah, the Xbox 360 D-pad is terrible, and since fighting games are best played with a D-pad, I wouldn't recommend it.

I never really tried too hard to solve it, but you might be legit dumb
I was sure from the very moment Maria started laughing that witches weren't real, and I had seen a screencap of Beato talking to Battler before I got into Umineko
Before I even knew anything about Umineko except that it was a mystery VN I don't know why but I had the dumb idea that Battler was a legendary detective and Beatrice the game master of something similar to the Danganronpa games

Woah, that's a new one.
I meant the one where he introduces himself as a man who helped kinzo in his incest actions with his daughter, brought Yasu to him etc.
