Umineko, Higurashi, WTC, 07th Expansion thread.

There's a typhoon outside, but we're snuggled up in a blanket discussing Umineko while sipping hot cocoa. Join us under the blanket, anon.

I really wonder how the upcoming WTC will be. Umineko is such a big part of me now, I wonder if anything will come close. The characters, setting, mysteries all play a big part in what makes Umineko so special to me. If anyone can do it, it's Ryukishi, but after Umineko he's got big shoes to fill.

He's up there and probably has the best VA.

I can't believe all around how good the PS3 seiyuus were. Kinzo and Beato especially were very well done.

Factoid: Beato's VA was also the JP voice of Lelouche from Geass

Last thoughts before arc 6

-Still feels unsolvable after Meakashi since nobody but Shion really has a motive to murder the entire village

-Takano mostly likely killed Tomitake and faked her death every route. Definitely a baddie but again I have no idea how it ties in to everything. Irie also bad but wouldn't ice the village since he's a lolicon.

-Onikakushi throat scratch syringe exists but K scratches his throat out without being drugged (to my knowledge)

-Satoshi went nuts the year before same as K and Shion in other routes. Had to have been "demoned away" against his will since if he just scratched his throat out the corpse would've been found and if he survived the crazy he would've contacted Satoko. If it wasn't the Sonozakis, as Mion said,then whoever did it must be the culprit seeking to propagate the curse.

-Why deliberately kill Rika-chama the assassin nipah every time? It works from the "propagate the curse" angle but seems silly since everyone's going to die anyway.

You are basically not wrong

Some people will say the truth is an asspull but, when you find out, it actually makes some sense

>>16514790
Because the cast is so small the who is pretty obvious at this point. Meakashi at the very least paints the three families as superstitious rednecks who couldn't kill one chick with a tazer.

Takano, Irie, Tomitake, unless he's a retard who exists only to die, are the culprits. The why and how and all the rest is still a total puzzle.

Early story Ange. Her separation from life, viewing things (like Maria's magic) as pathetic, and distrust of others hit really close to home. Same with her lack of self-worth.
Seeing her development at the end of the story really warms my heart. Her success and closure gives me hope that I can improve and learn to see things with love, too.

>Spending a relaxing winter night inside a cozy mansion's bedroom with Erika. Occasionally staring at a fireplace while resting on a comfy bed, snuggled up in warm blankets and sheets, and having some hot cocoa and cookies prepared in a tray placed on a nearyby small table. Books all over the place, even one in the bed which she was recently reading. Clock almost marking midnight. Treating each other as if this was your first and last night together in years. Almost no words needed, instead enjoying the silence and understanding each other in the purest way. Creating together a private moment that you'll treasure forever in your souls, but that you will prefer not to ever talk about, since this is the only form of magic that she'll allow in her heart and wants to protect it from the outside world at all cost.

>>
>>16520049
>>16520049
I guess Battler isn't a murderer at heart. But he's supposed to hate her for his family and Ange's sake even if there's a romance between them.

Taking this change in demeanor into account among other things, I wouldn't call Battler a good person. By all means he's the main character of the story but it would be wrong to say he's a "hero" or even of a moral fiber; in fact he's very fickle and dishonest with himself about his emotions.

There's a lot in Episodes 2 and 3 that reveal, even with all of the anger he displays at the murders, he's having a very good time with Beato and even enjoying the mysteries. If you think about how he abandoned his father after his remarriage, it's kind of the same personality traits he's displaying by choosing to elongate the game for Beato's sake, and makes him pretty selfish. It's not a bad thing; I think this allows him to be a more interesting main character than, say, Keichii, who became entirely two dimensional in the Higurashi answer arcs. By Episode 5 Battler's motivations are to save his family and return to Ange, but really he doesn't know what he wants and is content to drift about at the whims of others.

Actually I think Battler's change in demeanor towards Beato, and this whole bit of dissonance, was due to Ryukishi's editor's passing at that time but I'm thinking exclusively within the story.
>>
>>16520087
He's just overly emotional in general. He can't help but get swept up in the moment.

Honestly, I'd say that Battler is the protagonist, but Beatrice is the main character of Umineko.

Also, I think BT died shortly after Episode 5.
>>
>>16520114
It would be wrong of me to say that Battler can't be sympathetic towards Beato because Ange's entire involvement and death is actually Bern's fault, isn't it?

I never really read Ep 8 when it came out but I can piece together now why she's the antagonist here. Ange wouldn't have died if Bern never had brought her there.

At least Virgilia and Beato can go back into their human shapes willingly. Don't think that Erika can do that. Maybe if you gather up her petals you could reassemble her body, but you would need to know to which of her body parts each petal belongs (this one for her lips, this one was a nipple).

Now I wonder what they did to her petals after Battler and Beato shoot her?
>>
>>16520482
Spread them across their bed on the night of their honeymoon, just to add insult to injury as they consummate their relationship on her remains.

But Erika's a Witch of Truth! She wouldn't use such trickery!
>>

I can see Beatrice doing that, but not Battler. But then again, he doesn't need to know that, so Beato wouldn't tell him about Erika, just like the fact she is actually a man.
>>
>>16520499
First, Battler would already know the truth about Beatrice at that point. Second, they got married in the meta-world, where she's actually female.

But yeah, I could totally see her doing something like that to get back at Erika.

Somebody obviously keep them safe (Dlanor, maybe?), that's why Bern easily brought her back. Although Bern changing her mind to bother rebuilding Erika's body was probably the hardest part.
>>
>>16520634
Would they even need to use her original remains? I kinda pictured Bern just waving her hand and creating a new Erika out of thin air.
>>
>>16520639
>Would they even need to use her original remains?
Yes, because the text implies she is the same one that was sent into oblivion. She doesn't suffer from amnesia, clearly recalls the evnt of the Episodes she was in, and thanks to her free time she figured out everything to get back at Battler and Beato. Even the epiphany she had before being shot was ultimately used againt Battler and company in Episode 8. Leading an army of many truths to bring them down. Point is, she isn't another Erika.
>>
>>16520646
>Point is, she isn't another Erika.
Sorry, that's not really what I meant when I said a new Erika. I just figured Bern wouldn't need to reuse the remains in order to remake her physical form for her.

Well, to bring summon entities in the meta world, it seems that witches always need some kind of catalyst. Stakes, Sakutarou dolls, bunny figures/guns, a person, and the list goes on. What better catalyst to bring her back than her original remains? Either the petals or her body that drowned would required to make the task easier.
>>
>>16520675
Nah, that's to bring summon - or everything else meta - in the gameboard.

By the rules of the game, everything must have a mystery interpretation. That's why Erika's incarnation in Rokkenjima is within the body of a drowned girl. It is technically possible that the drowned girl could have landed in the island, and such Erika can use that vessel to move around the island.

Meta characters don't need any vessel to move around the metaworld. They just need belief and/or using a higher power then themselves.
>>
>>16520696
I stated that her remains would make the task easier, not that Bern forcefully needs them. The concept of the drowned girl help her to summon Erika in the first place, but it would be a waste not taking advantage of anything connected to the Erika of Episode 6 to bring her back with the memories of her defeat and laerning. Just stating that those petals could be used as a catalyst to ease the process, not that it necessarily happened that way. Don't think that it should be taken that seriously in the end, since the invitation they sent to Erika was stamped with several flgas from who nkow where since it couldn't reach her wherever her soul was thrown to by Bern.
>>
>>16520696
Also, when Lambda's body was destroyed, instead of just giving her another body, Bern took the trouble of sewing together her body parts again. Clearly Lambda and Bern don't like to wast resources. Of course, this was also done in a comical way, like with Erika's invitation.

That's different. Featherine didn't bring Lambda back to life, she retconned it so that Lambda never died in the first place. She was just split apart and needed to be put back together again.

All these posts made me realize that witches tend to break into different things that represent their motifs.

Beatrice = golden butterflies
Lambdadelta = candies
Erika = rose petals
Bern = cats
Virgilia = mackerels?
Eva Beatrice = ?
Ange = ?
Maria = ?
Featherine = ?

But again, why not just appear out of nowhere a new body for her? Why repaired the damaged one? Although a joke, this suggests that witches have the preference of sticking to their original remains when possible.
>>
>>16520730
I think turning into pages would suit Ange. Given her connections to Maria and Eva's diaries, and the way she ended up becoming an author.
>>
>>16520726
I just pictured Bern collecting all of Erika's petals together into a pile, and sticking them together with duct tape while shaping everything into an Erika-like figure. Ryukishi should have added that scene to Episode 8's manga. This is now my headcanon.

Same could apply to Featherine.

It's pretty clear that he's doing this VERY consciously. And not trying to save her, but to disappear with her. All signs point to this being Meta-Battler but WHOOPSIE DAISY I GUESS NOT
>And what do you mean by retcon? Do you mean that any previously unknown facts that shape the story you're unaware of are considered retcon because they aren't as emotionally striking to you?
No, I mean an alteration in the story that contradicts established or heavily implied facts. Like Meta-Battler abandoning the mortal world to be with his wife. Or Meta-Battler originally being EP1 Battler. Or apparently Ange reviving 34 because she believes in cake-fairies (doesn't really bother me 'cause it was kind of bullshit to begin with, but it's still a retcon.)

No, but an asspull to make an ending less satisfying is bullshit.

By that logic, Erika and Battler's rematch over Episode 5's events, everyone playing hide and seek instead of having a quiz tournament, Black Battler showing up in the Battle for the Golden Land; All these things are retcons.

I /think/ this is the only one of those that's actually a retcon, though I don't really remember the context of the other two.
The key to what is or is not a retcon is whether it's "Hey, I'm your father that was never mentioned!" (not a retcon), "Hey, you know how it was hinted that the last guy wasn't actually your father? I'm your real father!" (not a retcon), and "Hey, you know all those hints that the second guy was your father? Those were all coincidences, he was lying, I'm you're real father and you're actually Inhumans." (very much a retcon.

>>16523485
Fuck if I know, that doesn't make any goddamn sense. Battler would only call her 'my golden witch' and shit if if he's gone through EP6/7, since neither Piece Battler nor Meta-Battler remembered anything important about Yasu before that point.

The thing is, Beatrice was the game master during that entire game. She's the one directing the story and moving all the pieces around. So if Battler is supposed to have been one of those pieces, how does he suddenly just become self aware and become a player? For that matter, why would Beatrice even start Episode 1 in the first place if she didn't have an opponent to play against at that point? It makes more sense to think that Meta-Battler was already a player at that point, but due to his lack of memories he ended up experiencing Legend like it was his own story.


Also, how could Battler ever realize the truth of rokkenjimma prime if he was originally from a different world?

>The thing is, Beatrice was the game master during that entire game. She's the one directing the story and moving all the pieces around.
The problem here is that you're thinking of the gameboards as something created from nothing. The thing is, though, they all share the same past, they all come from the same root. Which means they're all separate possible timelines for the events of Rokkenjima.
What I'm trying to say here is that you're thinking too one-dimensionally. The pieces can both be pawns of the game master and actual people experiencing real thoughts and emotions. EP5 Natsuhi can be more than just 34 talking to herself. EP2 Rosa and Maria can be more than Beatrice playing pretend.

>So if Battler is supposed to have been one of those pieces, how does he suddenly just become self aware and become a player?
You're forgetting how the first Tea Party came about. Beatrice yoinked up Battler to the Meta-World herself.

>For that matter, why would Beatrice even start Episode 1 in the first place if she didn't have an opponent to play against at that point?
I don't know, why don't you tell me? /Even if you accept that Meta-Battler came in to being during the Magic Ending, he isn't playing at this point./

And besides, I'm not altogether sure that EP1 is a 'proper' gameboard. Yes, it is called a gameboard a few times when it's grouped with the other ones, but Beatrice isn't playing against anyone, and the only definitely fake thing that can't be chalked up to Yasu talking to herself (as far as I can remember) is Kinzo. Personally I like to think of it as a regular world that Beato tacked some Kinzo posters onto and stole the Battler of.

Also, if we take into account what the retcon said, /why the hell did Battler never notice he had no memory of the past two days/. I mean, he's incompetent, but not so incompetent as to not notice he has amnesia.

>Also, how could Battler ever realize the truth of rokkenjimma prime if he was originally from a different world?
The truth of Rokkenjima Prime doesn't mean shit to Battler OR Beatrice. That's kind of one of EP8's points, and I don't think the truth Battler found on his own was 'who killed everybody', but 'what is the point of the gameboards' and 'who is Beatrice'.

As it's ambiguous and it wasn't outright stated that they aren't married, I'm assuming they're probably married, or at least banging.

That's why Battler calls her fucking retarded.

Because as she wanted him to know the entire truth, that he didn't get to learn in the real world. And her way of presenting this truth, was by playing the witch game, instead of just, I don't know, coming out and telling him from the beginning.

It's cute, sure, but fucking stupid.

Reread chapter 2 recently, and Jesus Christ, having Rosa as the culprit does make more sense than the official explanation after all.

Don't get me wrong, I like Shkanontrices execution as a story, and I know the manga directly contradicts Rosatrice, but just look at the way this episode plays out. From beginning to end Rosa takes complete control of the situation while Shannon "mastermind" Beatrice stands around passively like an idiot. That's not how you plan out a mass murder, Shannon. You have to push for the moves that will create weak points you can exploit.

If you think about the way some of the crimes are committed it should be sensible to assume that the mastermind probably wasn't a servant. For instance it doesn't make any sense for Shannon to set up Jessicas murder in such a way that the servants will fall under suspicion, putting her in a position of vulnerability where Rosa could easily cross her. Shannon would have to be an idiot to believe that Rosa, after witnessing the art exhibition Shannon turned her siblings into, would continue to play along and give her and Genji false alibis for Jessicas murder, right? At this point Rosa has already cleared the objective of getting three bars of gold and being rid of her siblings. This is the perfect opportunity for her to shift the balance of power and take Shannon out.

In the alchemist patch folder there should be a couple .rars with custom textbox options. when you extract them it goes bmp>system>msgwnd0.png

Open msgwnd0.png in your image editor of choice and crop whatever image you want into the dimensions of the textbox, save it with the same name and extension. that's basically it.

fonts are just replacing default.tff with whatever font you want and renaming it to "default".

I guess you can also replace .wav files and .mov files this way too.

As I understand, Beatrice exists on the meta level and is a separate being from Yasu. Like how the Battler who lived through the massacre isn't the same as the one who fights Beatrice.
>>
>>16529038
To me they are a representation of what they were, could be or wish to be. Yasu was always confused about himself for the mutilation of his genitals. He created Beatrice as a way to escape from reality, still, they are the same person.
His fantasy is still a fantasy. They are both male

Damn. I never knew that shotungs had fantasies about being lewd bunnies. Like dude.
>>
>>16529180
So? Then neither is Beato. It doesn't change the fact that the being we see throughout the story is female.
>>
>>16529163
In hindsight they can refer to it as a game in meta, but it was never presented as a game to the reader. We read it as told through Battler's perspective, with no meta-breaks in between. At least before the Ep1 Tea party, I assert that that game took place in an otherwise unbothered kakera.

It can raise questions as to what is and isn't a gameboard, when you think about Ange in Ep4. Ange in Ep4 is the Ange from the Ep3 kakera, and since we see her whole life with Eva in that world, it can be said that each gameboard/kakera is its own individual reality; but really the Witch's Game didn't begin until Ep1 has reached its conclusion.

So calling Ep1 a gameboard is a bit of a stretch even if they refer back to the murders.

In Ep5 Krauss alludes to doing business with a "Sonezaki Man". I don't know why R07 didn't just say a Sonozaki entrepeneur since that would make more sense but still pretty neat.

He knows trolling is a art though, he put Okonogi in Ep4 and had him say absolutely nothing about his paramilitary expereince.

Reality exists in reality, Magic exists in the meta world.You can have both without destroying the other.

The meta world exists in a separate state than the real world. It exists on a completely different plane. To the real world it might as well be fantasy, and nonexistent. Magic isn't real in the real world, where the game boards take place. However that still doesn't change that the meta world can still exist off in it's own world.

Depends on how you want to read it.

Well that was quite a ride, equal best with Tatarigoroshi for me. Ryu seemed to be chiding the people who rooted for K in Onikakushi, I know I sure did, by making Rena so over the top with her aliens bullshit. Its amazing how good he is at going from fun to horror and back to fun again.

Mystery-wise Takano is evil evil evil and apparently the characters can't get over their Sonozaki family meme theory (I wouldn't put it past Oryou/Kinzo, they're crazy!). I really want to hear what Rika thinks about it and who kills her every loop but she's working on limited information too since she dies before the disaster happens. I almost thought there'd be a happy end but they all die, again.

But here's my super amazing post Tsumihorboshi theory:
-Takano, Tomitake and Irie are the culprits along with Irie's goons I suppose (seen in Onikakushi, Tatrigoroshi, they're the ones who inflict external wounds on Tomitake)
-Takano uses her Junko Enoshima powers to turn someone crazy because Hinamizawan people have brain bugs
-It must be an illness or parasite because of the uniform symptoms of people affected (Shion, Satoshi, Rena and K all experience the paranoia, aggression, extra footstep and eventual throat scratch suicide).
-Thus someone is activated (Satoshi the year before and either K, Rena or Shion after), they commit murder and are then demoned away by Takano and the gang (very easy to hide corpses in Hinamizawa). To propagate the curse. Because Miyo's into that.
-Tomitake, who arrives in Hinamizawa every June (not suspicious), and Irie help Takano because reasons
-It likely went as above during the third and fourth years but the fifth was to keep the police occupied perhaps.
-Takano and Tomitake go into the shrine storage to mark themselves for death (Likely only Takano knows that's what they're doing)
-They leave and Tomitake is made into the curse victim against his will with the magic drug (thanks rika nipah)
-Takano then gets the fug out (Met with K in Tatarigoroshi), leaving a fake corpse in the mountains. She has Tomitake's bike as evidence of her guilt.
-She then prepares everything until the swamp is ready to kill everyone in the village. Again, to propagate the curse cause it gets her off.
-Irie offs himself instead of leaving (No idea why)
-Rika is also killed purposely because shes queen of the brain bugs (thanks rena)

By writing it out it shows still how little I completely understand but this seems to be a good outline from what I know so far. I'm also ignoring Endless 8 old hag Rika chama since it seems unrelated to the mystery and obviously supernatural.

So, the closed room of Kinzo's study was broken, because as Natsuhi might have been checking something in another room of the study, Kinzo could have leapt from the third story window? And this is valid even if he lost his life in the process?

Battler manages to leap from the third story window and land without any injury? Erika seems to have the right idea, but all of the relatives agree that Kinzo could have accomplished this on the grounds of him being THE Kinzo. Maybe I just need more rabu to believe.

Battler didn't actually jump, it's confirmed he slid down the railings or down a gutter pipe or something and had a soft landing.

It didn't matter if he jumped or not, Battler's point was still proven.

Having a crush on =/= lusting
Knowing George and his desire to be gentlemanly to get girls to like him, that was likely when he first noticed Yasu as more of a 'girl' and felt that pressure as if he's around a girl.
It doesn't necessarily have to be sexual.
