Let's continue to liveblog! Disjointed thoughts and ramblings.
Eva - Asmodeus
Hideyoshi - Beelzebub
Kinzo - Mammon
Kanon - Satan
Genji - Lucifer
Nanjo - Belphegor
Kumasawa - Leviathan
She can harness the power of alchemy to create, specifically bringing up the Philosopher’s stone.
Beatrice works as the devil or a devil type figure to grant wishes.
Is executing Beatrice reliant on breaking a mirror? “Bullets reflect like light off of a mirror”
[BACK ONLY MAKES THE DOOR CREAK]
[EXIT ALWAYS MAKES GLASS BREAK]
Witch trapped. Are they inside a mirror? A reflection of their wants and wishes? Is that the Golden Land?
There’s a musical cue that pings every so often. Especially when Beatrice speaks.
Battler must be watching from the ??? portal.
[Eva and Dad going to their rooms
“What’s going to happen is that they’re going to fucking die, When the seagulls cry.”] <- nice one luca
There is something going on with Kinzo and Battler and it’s driving me crazy. The parallels are intentional, obviously. But it just freaks me out so much knowing the similarities. Why did Beatrice make that comment about not having seen a human like Battler in 1,000 years if she feels a similar fondness for Kinzo? Did Kinzo exist 1,000 years ago somehow? Was Beatrice becoming a witch and her meeting Kinzo connected? I know it makes no sense but I’m trying to put something down here. Her fondness for specific humans that aren’t magically inclined and instead study stubbornly to get somewhere is something that can’t be ignored.
“Bravery and madness leading to risk everything on unreasonable bets” I’m going mad here Beatrice. Why are we linking the two so heavily here?
“And in the end, he searched for the truth of this world” Okay man. Whatever. Sure. Whatever, sure. Whatever. When Shannon speaks of love to Kanon, it’s censored in the same way Maria’s words were censored to Battler after the first murder. Or was it in the rose garden? Regardless, both Kanon and Battler assume they can’t hear the word due to the wind.
“I underestimated Kinzo just a tad. And thanks to that, I’m in this state.”“Without love ‘it’ cannot be seen” It being emphasized the same way exists is emphasized. “Beatrice ‘exists’.”
I did genuinely enjoy those scenes. Whenever Beatrice speaks of Kinzo she speaks sadly and fondly. It's quite sweet to see that side of her. Her deep care. I also think it's cute how much she enjoys sweets.
Why is she allowing Battler to see this in the first place? I’m assuming game two is being shown to Battler in the ??? Room. Whether or not he knows he’s there is up for debate. But I do believe we’re viewing this through his eyes at the moment. What sort of gambit is this?

4/1/26 [FOLLOW UP FROM FUTURE LUCA] SHE IS TALKING TO BATTLER!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH. FUCK YES
Jessica is soooo cute! The way she performs at the school festival is absolutely adorable. Having the concert be like a faux NicoNico video was adorable Also her sprites this chapter have all just been soo cute.
look at how sweet she is. ohh i love you jessica
Kanon what the hell do they have you wearing. I'd be crying if i looked like that too bruh.
I wonder if Beatrice was “another self” that she herself concocted <- I don't think this will actually be true but I do expect the "other selves" to pop back up in a meaningful way again.
Maria reads very transgender to me. Witches in general do. Them being outside the norms of society, not being believed in, and being very heavily scrutinized. Maria wants people to believe, she wishes to dress up and become something she believes herself to have always been. She likes Halloween because she can act this way in an acceptable manner. It reads very much like that.
I was going to find a screenshot for the paragraph above but I'd rather draw attention to the fact Maria and Beatrice are the only characters that. A: Have bows and B: Have blue eyes. Maria's are a little darker, but regardless my point stands. Bern has very strong purple eyes and a big blue bow.
I swear to god the wind is indicative of something. Beatrice’s presence? The presence of a ghastly spirit or their wishes and wants for more in life? Getting themselves wrapped up in trouble?
Kinzo’s interest in Beatrice overshadows even Battler being talked about.
Battler waiting for Beatrice to move so he can get better at his chess game. Sweet. They kind of love each other. In a way.
Umineko is just Battler’s never ending hell torture purgatory game.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOO BATTLER!!!!!!!
So let’s assume that Battler is “sent back in time” and is the only person that can observe these events. He’s physically there, correct? Probably. It’ll be interesting to see how he’ll communicate with his family from now on. If he does in fact remember that he’s playing the game. It was never specified, but we’ll see.
They need to be nice to their transgender cousin.
Thank you George. Don't make fun of her. She's a witch.
more thoughts to come in the future.
