Okay guys. Umineko ep 8 is 50 percent translated. I'm going to be an idiot and wait for 100% translation.
But in the meantime, lets discuss ep 1-7. (currently replaying)
Because I seriously need to work out everything being thrown at us in Chiru.
WARNING FROM HERE ON OUT THERE BE SPOILERS.
I am worried about the Battler = Kinzo theory. Honestly, they're both going the same route with the whole 2nd Beatrice thing going on. At first I was able to accept the new Beatrice and Battler, but now that thought makes my stomach sick when I think of the incident with Kinzo and the 2nd Beatrice. Let's pretend its just a coincidence but with Ryukishi writing this, I doubt it. Also I hope we get to see more Willard and Lion prancing about, I know thats asking for a lot given the ending of the Tea Party in episode 7, but look at Eva Beatrice! She managed to wiggle her way back in after ep 3. So maybe? Hopefully? I doubt it but there's nothing wrong with wishful thinking in the meantime. ;n;
I noticed that in Knox's Decalogue and Will's detective rules both state that a servant cannot be the culprit, so what does that say about Yasu? Does it not count because of the headship being passed down
before the murders? Even so Yasu gave up the headship and stayed as a servant so what does that mean?
I'm also trying to work out Kanon and Shannon containing separate deaths in earlier episodes. You can fake some of those but what concerns me is the First Twilight of episode 1 where half of Shannon's face is destroyed and Kanon is in the same room WITH Nanjo. How is this possible through the shakannontrice theory? A fake body in that fashion would be difficult to pull off :<
Also in other news, some amazing person took the audio and images from the PS3 version and made a patch combining it with witch-hunts translation of the games. So now you get pretty artwork and glorious voice acting! THE ANIME IS NO LONGER NEEDED IN THIS WORLD.
