Jessica is Beato, who is committing murders with Kanon and Shannon helping. Things rarely go right, partially because another, adult figure is committing murder as well. Hideyoshi is probable, perhaps Kyrie.

Look, Namomo, I argued alongside you last night, and I agree with you that it's a stupid theory, and it likely isn't true, and there are a number of alternatives besides.

You mean like Kinzo? Who has been a fake in all but 3-4 scenes he's been in? *doh hohoho*

While the theory is very much weakened from Red, it wasn't too outlandish at the time. I mean, she was introduced midway through, has obvious hax powers, and everyone reacts to her in a way totally illogical when you try to ignore the Meta-game. Not to mention she seems to come out of bad fanfiction. (auau)

There are reasons to suspect that she doesn't exist, if we ignore the red.

This. Particularly since the Red truth there are 18 people gets through just as well as the Red truth that there are 17 people, it might imply that the game numbering is different from game to game.

She said herself that she found out the truth by reading the letters of Maria for episodes 1 and 2.
And that the other scenarios was written with the truth in mind.

Basically you can still find out the truth by reading the other scenarios, they are completely consitent.

In episode 5 and 6, Erika was added without a doubt, even if she didn't exist in the "real" version, she was still there in these scenarios.

All of the Shkannon stuff does is point to Shannon and/or Kanon being Wolves. Never does the theory require them to be the same person.

That theory implies that there's a body double for Shannon, which was never denied, same one that was used in episode 1 in the shed.

And "Kanon" in Beatrice mode was just faking his death, the Kanon and Shannon persona already died by that point.

That's how Nanjo was killed, that's why George jumped on his own from the first floor, that's why Jessica could move even though she was blind.

Ok, if the red text can be used to say that both personas died and lived on as Beatrice, and any red text for any human's death is useless. It allows so much that Shkannontrice becomes just one of dozens of new solutions.

I'd almost accept one persona dying, but both? that's just silly.

Jessica lived in the mansion her whole life, 18 years. She knew that place as well as anyone could. If she had the chance, she could escape. The Kanon thing could just be her remembering his spirit.

If it even happened in the first place.

Nanjo could have been killed by any body double. Say, Hideyoshi, who was clearly hiding something in episode 3, and has that odd tip.

I dunno why george jumped down, however. But, following Hideyoshi's secret, it could be related to that, and he felt he needed to escape the guesthouse without anyone knowing.. He went to see shannon's body for comfort as he hid, but was found out and died holding his love.

It cannot be truly destroyed. Ryukushi likely wants it to be considered. But, at the very least, I have shown pretty conclusively that there is no reason for the games to need to be solved by Shkannon.

Let's put it like this.

There is one person, I'll say Jessica, who is trying to do the Epitaph murders, likely with help from the Meido and Kanon. This is Beato.

Then there is someone who is using guns to commit certain murders. I'll guess Hideyoshi. This is the cause of certain discrepancies in the murders, and explains why the murders don't always follow the epitaph perfectly.

One thing that's interesting is the Siesta Sisters, which seem to represent guns. They are never in alignment with Beato. Not once in 4 games.

There is also certain strange things with the adults, like Rudolph's murderous secret in 1 and 5, Hideyoshi hiding something in 3, as well as the general change of feeling in 3.

It also explains the manifold differences in episode 4.

Here is a good metaphor for how *solvable* is. It's like a connect the dots puzzle, without any numbers. Now, imagine that the puzzle had some dots that were just unneeded. Some of these Dots help define the picture better, others create wrong pictures, and some just confuse you.

Now imagine that, with every episode, more dots are added and others are taken away.

By episode 4, the right dots were in place to draw the right conclusions. But there are still a fuckton of other dots left over.

>> No.4036880

>>4036840
Well try to explain how it would work from episode 1 onward, could be interesting.
I already said I would love to see someone destroy the ShKanontrice theory.

Personally the way I see episode 3 with this theory:
Remember the stakes? They were put after their death.
In episode 3 paranoia made the adults go against each other, Hideyoshi killed Rudolf and Kyrie killed Hideyoshi.
BUT Shannon in her Beatrice mode was there, she killed Kyrie by picking one of the gun and finished the job with the stakes.

Afterward she lured George to the mansion and killed him.
She then hide herself, killing Nanjo toward the end and escorting Jessica.

For Rosa and Maria's death, I believe that Shannon/Beatrice has nothing to do with it.
Could be Rudolf for all we know.
Anyways suspicious people + weapons isn't a good mix.

>> No.4036883

also, a problem exists with Shkannon that hasn't been addressed before. A lot of people would need to be in on it. As a matter of course, Genji. Nanjo too, for the bodies.

But Natsuhi and Krauss, sooner or later, would have to wonder why they never see Shannon and Kanon at the same time. Is George gay for Kanon? Is he hiding it too? Then why does he cry for Shannon's body when Kanon is right there? Or does he not notice he's dating a trap?

Gohda could have missed it, but Kumasawa was like a mother to them. She would need to be in on it too.

So...Genji, Nanjo, Natsuhi, Krauss, probably Kinzo, George, Jessica, and Kumasawa would have needed to be in on this for it to work.

>> No.4036889

>>4036880
For episode 4.
The reason it happened differently from the rest was because of the early scene on the beach.
Shannon/Beatrice saw that Battler didn't remember the promise.

>> No.4036916

Think about the relationships of the various characters of the meta world with Beatrice.
Switch Beatrice with Shannon/Kanon and the characters of the normal world and you'll have who know about it, so you have your answer for Genji and Kumasawa.

Shannon/Kanon/Beatrice has to be a girl for one.
So George doesn't know.
Nanjo and Jessica are most likely accomplices.

Krauss and Natsuhi could not know, Krauss isn't in the house often and Natsuhi is pretty self centered and only care about raising Jessica.

>> No.4036927

>>4036883
Maybe Kanon or Shannon died shortly before the game's start, and their identity was assumed by the other then?

Ok, fine. but my memory on some aspects is shaky.

Episode 1, simple enough.

Beato's group kills five of the first twilight, Shannon, getting cold feet(likely knowing that they plan to blow up the island in a murder-suicide) wants to stay with George, and they are forced to kill her.

Second twilight uses normal ShKannon tricks, but with only Kanon. Hideyoshi dies without being able to do anything, and Episode 1 goes as smoothly as possible. Same with 3rd, only Kanon fakes his death. Not Shkannon.

Kanon shows up at the end, shoots Natsuhi. Natsuhi shoots back, but the TIPs show the gun she uses was more ornamental than practical. Hideyoshi may have brought his own gun, which Kanon then takes to create the holes to gouge.

Everyone sees kanon, Jessica laughs and reveals herself as Beato, explode.

The only real problem I have with ShKanontrice is that, while it's been foreshadowed to hell and back and has so many clues for it it would be idiotic to disregard it immediately, I think Ryukishi would have to explain too much for it to not feel like a copout.

The characters would have to discuss why it doesn't break Knox 10 (because I see a lot of people certainly don't process it); that when people meant a person in red they consider "cogito ergo sum" as a valid definition of person ie personalities can be considered their own separate being; why would people in the Ushiromiya house accept the charade (maybe they feel sorry for ShKanontrice? Something happened and it's better to play along?); was Jessica as stupid as to not realize (and her classmates too!) or was she just a lesbian, etc.

Episode 2:

First twilight goes mainly as Shkannon says. Jessica likely has a suit she uses to look like Piece Beato. Explains why Piece Beato has such a strange outfit. Genji might have been in on it, or was convinced by Shannon/Kanon, or an old order from Kinzo.

Rosa is greedy-bitch'd, first twilight happens.

Jessica and Kanon go off to plot, but get into a dispute. To protect herself, She hides the body somewhere, and fakes her death.

Using Kanon's body, Jessica and Shannon kill Kumasawa and Nanjo, confusing Ghoda and perhaps Genji. I don't know the specific trap. Perhaps Kanon really was just dying from his wounds he received in Jessica's room (don't treat these wounds, I'm already dead-style explination for the Red Text), and lashed out at Shannon, acidentally murdering Nanjo and Kumasawa, but was killed by Shannon.

Shanon kills George, Gohda, and perhaps herself, and that's Episode 2.

Another thing about ShKanontrice.
About the fantasy scenes.
Sorry if I'm wrong but in the "past" scenes, the only ones who interact with fantasy characters are Shannon, Kanon (ep 2) and Maria and Ange (ep 4).

Episode 3:

Something goes really wrong on the first twilight, and both Shannon and Kanon die, leaving Jessica without allies. Battler's explanation works here, unless my memory is mistaken, as one of them, maybe Kanon, died in an accident while preparing something else in the church

Because of this mistake, Jessica has difficulty moving on her own.

Seeing an opportunity, Hideyoshi, for an unknown reason kills Maria and Rosa. Maybe Eva told him what had happened with the epitaph, and he wants all the gold for his family.

Kyrie realizes somethings up, and a shootout happens. Kyrie and Rudolph are killed. Hideyoshi found the stakes previously, and uses them to make it seem like this was the kind of murder, injuring himself for the cover. Note the locations of the stakes are wrong.

George sees Hideyoshi outside, and leaps out of the window. They fight, his own father turns a gun on him, and he's shot. He locks himself in the Parlor with Shannon, and he dies holding her body. Maybe he learns something, and that's the cause of the numbers.

Then he kills Krauss and Natsuhi, and finally tried to kill nanjo. Jessica is sneaking away, and that distracts him long enough for Nanjo to turn the tables and they both die. Jessica is caught by Eva after she kills Battler, and Eva gets Jessica to admit the truth of everything (like what happens in the end of Episode 3 in the Meta-world) and Eva escapes in time. To protect the honor of her husband and family, Eva takes the secret of what she learns to her grave.

Episode 4 is the only one I'm really not sure about. There are too many things I can't really clearify, such as accepting Kinzo, and the magic.

Still, it's easy to see there being a big shootout in the family conference room, Hideyoshi forcing Krauss to lie bout what was going on, Jessica, Kanon, and Shannon turning the tables on him, killing him, but then killing everyone else and forcing Kyrie to talk to Battler, before ending her life. Kanon is killed, but Shannon survives.

Jessica appears as Beato, before or after poisoning Maria, but after killing George with a gun, and is driven to suicide by the things he says. She has Shannon kill her, who then kills herself with the stake found near her body.

Also, if ShKanon were true, every single adult would have to know about it. So they could lie about finding the corpses in separate places in Ep 3.

Additionally, Virgilia, who was brought in to help Battler, would have to have lied during her reconstruction of the crime scene in that episode. Although, Knox rule 2 denies using that as evidence.

No need to even fake it. Nanjo is the one doing the diagnosis. He can lie or make a mistake.

Doesn't have to lie.

No, I mean, why would an extra key for that personality exist in the first place? It's not like they'd make another key for the same body...

On a side note, where was Kanon's key found in Episode 2? Was it on Jessica's corpse?

I like the Shkannon theory, it explains pretty well everything.
My problem is how can a petite ma servant completely transform into a fully grown woman (Tits, hips , ass) or vice versa. Without anyone noticing make up, props etc

You remember what Virgilia or Beato said when Maria and Rosa's corpses were found in the garden?

"If Nanjo's diagnosis is correct, Maria was strangled and Rosa was impaled on the fence." *roughly*
>The cause of death was as Nanjo diagnosed

It's been already explained that he can be an accomplice or make a mistake.

Shannon and Kanon telling the people on the island they were furniture is the biggest clue that they aren't human.
Evatrice states in red that this game is only within the humans; therefore Shannon and Kanon are not related to ANY crime.
However, Genji Gohda and Kumasawa (Who we have yet to learn alot about) Are not furniture - but actual servants.

From what we know about 'furniture'. Ronove is regarded as Beatrice's 'head' furniture. And so are all the stakes and every other demon. Meaning if we regard Shannon and Kanon as actually being 'fantasy' characters from the very beginning, there are no complications.

This leaves room for the Shkannon theory because Shkannon can be somebody else we don't know about.

What does /jp/ think?

That's exactly it. There is 1 more human we don't know about.
As the other poster said, Shannon now considers herself a human, meaning it's 16 humans, instead of 15 (From 17)
Kanon is still 'furniture' but I guess Genji does consider himself furniture as well, bringing it back to 15...?

Sounds like the discussion is getting derailed so lets go back to topic.
What was Shkannon's motive ? Remenber that it must be connected to Battler somehow.

>> No.4037574

The problem with this whole "Umineko is solvable by the 4th Ep." thing is there are few crazy theories that would actually work, but they feel really cheap. Beatrice=bomb, Pony, split personalities and furniture not counting as humans are all really cheap.

I think we should drop those theories for now and concentrate on finding better ones instead of arguing which one of them is better.

>>4037559
Why is everyone assuming that just because Shannon and Kanon likely share a body, that means they must be the murderers?

My problem with Shkannon isn't their "motive for murder", but "reason for existing". It stinks of author interference to make the murder mystery more complex, not something logical with the characterization shown in previous games. So many people would have had to have known, and treated this crossdressing weirdo like two separate people--and then HIDDEN this fact when the murders started happening. A bunch of people knew that Shannon and Kanon shared a body, yet mourned over Shannon when Kanon was still walking around and didn't find it suspicious in the slightest?

Pony doesn't work.
Bomb is basically confirmed but can't be used by itself.
Furniture not counted as human is stupid and has already been proved fake.

So yeah, only theory I saw that can solve everything is Shannon = Kanon = Beatrice for now, no other "crazy" theory works as well.

I'll be VERY disappointed if this is true. I got "Kanon is really a girl" vibes in Ep. I and "Shanon=Kanon" vibes in Ep. II. Same with bomb. If that's really true mystery in Umineko was too easy.

But then again it may all be just Ryu's trolling.

from your theory, i believe shannon wants to become "Sayo" again, but kanon stubbornly refers himself as furniture.
That fits the "17 on island' red that battler gave.
