Board 8 > Umineko playthrough topic 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

The bunnies are glass cannons. This has to be a dig at all the computer problems we keep having and how customer service is utter trash.

It's like Tom and Jerry or one of those cartoons for kids, where there is a much stronger enemy but they keep screwing up in comedic ways.

I must be reading a weird comedy. Let's see:
-4th wall breaking AGAIN, with a loser flag counter on the screen
-Goat memories. Poor guy, he has a family too!
-Other goats being retar*e* (seriously? this word is banned on Gamefaqs?)
-Krauss getting his power over 9000 from contrived reasons
-Nanjo patting the goat's shoulder
-Gapapapapapap

After the sheer brutality of episode 3 and the dining room massacre, and the depressing parts on Ange and Maria, this is a wild change in tone.

Knew it. Battler had to take the test, so George and Jessica had to die.

I think all of the resistance was planned wayyyyyy beforehand by Beatrice for a spectacle, she would never let the humans 'win'.

And they're dead. All the effort in escaping for nothing. Happened so quick it's anticlimactic, but there isn't much time left for this episode seeing how long the flashbacks took...

Drunk Beatrice - didn't think I would see this - is pretty great. Tying me to the bed with a collar... what has Kinzo been doing to her when she had a form? And she seems to enjoy that sort of thing? Lol

You see I fail to understand having 13 people die for the ceremony and still killing those left alive anyway

are you saying... umineko... doesn't make sense?!

It's hard to take Beatrice's insults that seriously. Also shes' a masochist. That.... does make a lot of sense.

Battler has done something 6 years ago that caused this incident. Whoa this came out the blue. Tragedy? Sin? I dont know what this is about. I know for sure though that Beatrice is the least qualified person say such things.

I don't have a clue what this is about, or why Battler's 'sin' is suddenly brought up. There are 2 Beatrices, and they act a very un-Beatrice like manner. Is it something related to Battler's mother? Doesn't look like another one of Beatrice's lies.

Kinzo got burned for no reason. He deserves much, much worse than that, something on the level of Maria killing Rosa or Evatrice's murders. Bastard.

Ok? She's going to abandon the game? But they haven't even started. Almost no debates or such.

someone remind me to add this topic to the archive later tonight~

Battler's mother is Asumu.
His name is Battler.
Battler was born from Asumu.
This person... whose name is Battler... is not born from Asumu.
This Battler... is not Asumu's son.

..............................?

What the fuck. Battler... whoever this is.... is accused of being a body double and the real one died six years ago? But he clearly has memories further than that, and his personality is more or less consistent across these 6 years, no one in his family thought him strange, not to mention he went back home to see Ange a couple of times. Don't tell me he's a clone, or a product of magic???

Even if Battler's isn't Asumu's son it was never said in red that he is not Rudolf's son or Kinzo's grandson, Rudolf could have had him with another random woman, surely it's too early to discredit him. Does it matter that much whether he is the real Battler or not?

Why does every Ange section become a lecture on life that takes 20 minutes to get the point across. Zzzzz

'Magic is supposed to bring about happiness!' Ange drills this into my head, as she orders the ass sisters to kill everyone. Thank god it's over, such a drag before the fight started.

More timeline shenanigans as 1998 Ange simply... goes to Beatrice's place. For real though, why is Beatrice depressed again?

Since when did winning or losing the game become some existential crisis for Battler and Beatrice
At first it is only for Beatrice to pass the time, now everyone is practically forcing it to continue

A lot doesn't make sense. And I don't mean the magic or continuity, character actions and motivations and mood jump all over the place....

Battler's mother is unknown, but is still Kinzo's grandson and Rudolf's son. That wasn't too difficult if you read between the lines really.

Something just hit me. Kyrie had Rudolf's child at the same time as Asumu, and she miscarried at the same day Battler was born. What if... Asumu was the one who miscarried.... and Kyrie's son was actually Battler? And they swapped it? Making Battler Kyrie's son. But to pull that off you would need a stillbirth... not a miscarriage...

After spending half the episode developing Ange's character and making her a witch, she is finally ready to help Battler to win, right? No, let's kill her

I will not back down, I know what I'm fighting for, I'm going to take this seriously from now on. Good for you Battler, I feel you have said something like that a couple of times already.

Beatrice is on the losing side now. I don't understand, they have been no signs for the shift, the turning point is 'Battler not remembering a sin' but the details are left out, it feels arbitrary.

The episode ends with a flash of bloody words that I can't catch. Is that it? Where are the credits? Why are the people on the character screen not dead? The entire episode they are sitting there watching with no debates or mystery solving.

There isn't even a conclusion on Rokkenjima or the Battler stuck there

spoke too soon. The Tea Party is going to deal with that.

The Tea Party and ???? is probably going to be a long one and involve those crimes. After episode 2 or 3 separating an episode into main/tea/??? parts become totally meaningless, there isn't much difference between them

Ange better not become a throwaway character
I must have spent half the episode in her character arc that sometimes put me to sleep, almost like she is set up to be just as important from episode 5 onwards

It was a weird episode, half of it is about Ange, the other about Rokkenjima - where they openly use magic in front of a crowd humans, with most dead in the first day. There's barely any mystery but I will finish the other parts before judging it.

Going to start a new topic later

ha ha ha. surely they wouldn't do such a thing only for it to all be for nothing.

Another problem I got is that the alliance that Maria and Beatrice made to promote happy magic.... has Beatrice in it
