All this talk on Forgeries and such reminds me of how Umineko When They Cry’s 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Episodes are Forgeries while Episodes 1 & 2 are the real deals.

In otherwords Gou, Sotsu, Meguri, Rei Manga and Mei are all infact Forgeries like Umineko.

The Legend of the Golden Witch, Turn of the Golden Witch and the elusive Land of the Golden Witch are yet to be revealed.

Gou, Sotsu and Meguri ride on the notion that someone other than Takano is the Culprit yet choose Satoko despite it derailing her character.

Satoko therefore is infact Beatrice.

Since Mei shows a second Rika who possesses the normal Rika while Satoko acts more like her Sotsu version when in Dark Awakening mode it is quite likely that something infact happened to merge Rika and Satoko during Dr. Irie and Mayor Kimiyoshi’s rampage.

To be more accurate Lambdadelta gave Satoko Looper Powers in exchange for not dying before Rika with failure being punished by dumping Satoko into a Timeline without Rika I.E. directly into an incarnation of Rika’s Body.

Eventually Satoko dies before Rika at Une’s hands followed by Une killing Rika(presumably hiding her head in the process).

Satoko-Rika of course after being convinced by Takano’s Diary and Bernkastel into offing herself and looping into the Loop containing Rika gets trapped inside her with the threat of being torn apart by Lambdadelta if she blurts out her identity.

She inevitably does and then Takano’s Soul reduced to Child-form leeches the Pigtails that Satoko donned upon inhabiting Rika’s Body and becomes Une.

Une therefore is EVA-Beatrice with Hanyuu’s Fragment siphoning Takano’s appearance from Une to become the Lambdadelta we and Satoko-Rika recognize.

Immediately Une dramatically takes credit for St. Lucia burning right at that moment(actually Dr. Irie going on a rampage) and while Rika survives she and Satoko discovers that Satoko’s Body is dead forcing Rika & Satoko to off Rika’s Body for another Loop while the Answer Arcs are prepped as Satoko and Rika go over what was going on with Satoko’s history.

Rika-Satoko turns the Message Bottles by Hanyuu into Umineko Episode 1 & 2 while Forgery Hanyuu(who discovered her nature and got rescued by Lambdadelta) creates the remaining Episodes I.E. the Umineko Forgeries as well as the Higurashi Forgeries.

Since Sakiko matches Jessica and Keitarou matches George we must assume that Rika meets them at St. Lucia’s Academy.

Since Natsuhi rejects Beatrice as a baby that means that the Hinamizawa Syndrome is Natsuhi and Krauss is Tetsurō Okonogi.

Hinamizawa Syndrome is declared dead by Takano on discovering Satoko’s immunity(no thanks to Lambdadelta) and Okonogi is arrested by the police(the leader of which is Hideyoshi) only for Dr. Irie(afflicted by the Hinamizawa Syndrome) to kill Rika to test Takano’s claims which causes the Hinamizawa Syndrome to go out of control and kill everyone except Takano who disposes of Dr. Irie and Mayor Kimiyoshi.

Natsuhi/Hinamizawa Syndrome and Eva/Miyo Takano are the Culprits of the Rokkenjima Massacre with Eva backstabbing Natsuhi by blowing up Rokkenjima(gassing Hinamizawa and letting it flood via the Dam Project).

Miyo Takano becomes a God named Une, Lambdadelta frees herself from Hanyuu via Takano’s essence and commits crimes within the Forgeries, Bernkastel attempts to vent her rage within forgeries and the Hinamizawa Syndrome is killed off due to there being no victims.

The Villains of Higurashi are Une, Lambdadelta, Bernkastel and Forgery Hanyuu/Eua/Featherine Augustus Aurora.

Happy Monday!!

I had my own plans today… but it seems the family has other plans…

A Certain Scientific Mental Out’s most recent Chapter seems to show how Shokuhou Misaki got her ability to control Liquids in A Certain Magical Index.

Turns out she got directly exposed to Shadow Metal(unbeknownst to her but likely known to Mitori who met the original 1st Ranked Level 5 Esper) while sitting in the middle of a Hydro Hand’s Water Ball. She now has Duel Skill.

Shokuhou Misaki has Mental Out and Hydro Hand.

Of course if Shadow Metal transfers abilities it was exposed to to other people then Misaka has Gunha’s Esper Power and Vice Versa.

In otherwords Misaka’s Stormcloud that she can create after her failed Level 6 Shift isn’t an Electromaster Ability but infact Gunha’s Cloudmaking Esper Power.

Infact it wouldn’t surprise me if all Espers were exposed to Shadow Metal as part of the Power Curriculum Surgical Procedure.

Magicians draw upon Shadow Metal by emulating it’s form through symbolism while Espers are directly exposed to it and gain it’s power directly.

Aleister Crowley made specifically certain that all of his Espers were exposed to Shadow Metal that is on an opposite wavelength from Magic Side’s Shadow Metal.

The 6th Ranked Level 5 Esper is actually a Level 1 Esper Magician drawing from the Science Side’s Shadow Metal Artifacts through symbolism: Kazari Uiharu who distinctly summons Runes on her Body.

Saten is only Level 0 because she hasn’t been exposed to the right Shadow Metal and thus needs power from other Wind Users to preform the procedure. She does have Spell Steal as a Magician Power it seems and is fully willing to use it on Uiharu when she starts getting too angry.

Misaka’s Clones are actually Magicians of the Science Side drawing directly from Misaka via their symbolism of her.

If Mikoto Misaka is Full Tuning I.E. Misaka Clone 0000 then she was exposed to a Shadow Metal Artifact that gives Electromaster Abilities while the Real Misaka was exposed to the wrong type of Shadow Metal(the kind on the Wavelength that the Magic Side uses) and was shunted to the Magic Side and given the name Index to hide this fact while also justifying the idea of researching Cloning.

Happy Tuesday!!!

In case you forgot what day it is…

Just considered the possibility that since Kinzo from Umineko When They Cry might symbolize Hanyuu from Higurashi When They Cry that all the Parents of the Ushiromiya Family might be Hanyuu Fragments with the Cousins of the Family being Rikas.

That would mean that Beatrice is the Rika abandoned in the Higurashi Rei Visual Novel.

That would mean that Erika Furudo represents Battler(Demon Rika), Kyrie(Demon Satoko) and Rudolf(Bat-Winged Demon Hanyuu). Ange and Beatrice are the Gold-Eyed Rika who has a grudge against all the Rikas who abandoned her.

She reconciled with Demon Rika and has the original Hanyuu subjugated under her thumb as her Furniture named Shannon(while also playing as Shannon herself).

Now on to the Rokkenjima Massacre: Lambdadelta upon learning of Beatrice’s existence gave her the Golden Magic in exchange for the Witch’s Epitaph. As a result Eua mistook Red Eyed Rika in Satoko’s Body for Beatrice and gave Satoko Looping Powers which resulted in Red Eyed Rika killing her past self again and again forcing Eua’s Hanyuu Fragment temporarily killing herself.

Featherine using her Author Powers gave Eua’s Hanyuu Fragment the Spear needed to break Eua’s Horn because she was fed up with Eua’s story.

In otherwords Eva(Lambdadelta) accidentally(by giving Krauss the loaded Gun) killed Natsuhi(Eua’s Hanyuu Fragment) while Hideyoshi(Featherine Augustus Aurora) killed Krauss(Eua) in the following struggle.

Then the Hanyuu guarding the Rei Manga Rika(I.E. the Rosa of the Ushiromiya Family) got done in by Demon Satoko in order to preform the Witch’s Epitaph while also beating up Lambdadelta & Beatrice for the Witch’s Epitaph and breaking Featherine’s Horn.

After Demon Satoko preformed the Epitaph sufficiently on Rei Manga Rika she turned her gaze upon Gou/Sotsu/Meguri Rika just as Demon Hanyuu started killing Bernkastel a few times before Lambdadelta went and sealed both of them away then told Bernkastel where they got the idea of the Witch’s Epitaph from in the first place.

Bernkastel barged in on Beatrice’s match with Demon Rika and started betting on Demon Rika’s side before breaking Demon Hanyuu and Demon Satoko out of their Seals just so that she might win against Beatrice.

Bernkastel lost and the Demons are now aligned with Beatrice fully.

Of course the Cousins shown in Umineko are the Rikas that Beatrice, Bernkastel and Rei Manga Rika knew of at the time just as the Legitimate Children of Kinzo are the Hanyuu Fragments directly spawned from Hanyuu they knew of at the time.

The Ushiromiya Family is a lot bigger I am certain.

People are finding out the hard way that you can’t AFK during fated.

Kept wiping on the third wing. Had to leave because of time constraint, I hope tomorrow is better. At least I got Sylvanas done first.

Higurashi Mei suggests that Eua/Krauss Ushiromiya & Red Eyed Rika AKA Jessica Ushiromiya resorted to calling the other Witches to play against Red Eyed Rika.

Krauss/Eua goes straight to Villain but never makes a move against anyone except Natsuhi/Scent Hanyuu due to being just too lazy.

George/Bernkastel plays the role of an ally before brazenly exposing herself as a Villain. Ange Beatrice saw through her right from the start and mocked her own assumptions that Bernkastel would ever love her.

Jessica/Red Eyed Rika is known to play the role of the Victim before switching to the Culprit so artistically that you don’t even realize it. She is the true Witch of Certainty that holds the Title that the Golden Witch Lambdadelta used for herself after making Beatrice the Endless Witch.

Demon Satoko/Kyrie and Demon Hanyuu/Rudolf go straight to Villain to help Lambdadelta bait Bernkastel but infact care about Battler and Ange Beatrice.

Lambdadelta plays the role of the Villain before switching sides because she is at heart a Good Guy.

Ange Beatrice plays up the façade of a Villain using Illusions before revealing herself a Hero.

Battler/Demon Rika is the Hero.

Maria/Rei Manga Rika is incapable of being the Villain.

In otherwords Jessica/Red Eyed Rika and George/Bernkastel are the Villains of Higurashi When They Cry Mei.

There used to be an add for an office supply store that would show two forlorn kids as the parents would dance to “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” around this time

I remember starting a new school in a new town for 5th grade. Parents must have been distracted as step-father dropped us off nice and early but forgot to tell us how to get home as only Kindergartners and 1st graders got to ride the bus. Tried guessing our way home and got so lost that a cop in the next city pulled over and figured out what happened. This was in the early 1960’s and we were so disappointed that the rumor if your lost find a policeman and they’ll get you and ice cream cone and then take you home.

I sure got an earful when we got home but not as bad as my poor step-father. LOL.

ALL the relaxing things! Or all the things that need doing without distraction so you can relax later.

  • Prep dinner/crock pot
  • Laundry on
  • Take relaxing bath or shower without kids barging in
  • NAP
  • Get up and check crock pot, toss laundry into dryer
  • Read something without distraction

Hope the kids have a great first day!

If Bernkastel from Umineko When They Cry is indeed George Ushiromiya then Rudolf Ushiromiya/Demon Hanyuu was the one to spread the word of Beatrice’s game with Battler to Bernkastel.

Rudolf(who got beat up by Eva/Lambdadelta) naturally got beat up and got killed as a parent as a result with George being killed as a concept due to how cruel and powerful Bernkastel actually is. Bernkastel tracked down Kyrie/Demon Satoko and beat her up while in the middle of harassing Jessica.

Since both got beat up by Bernkastel proving themselves to not be her superior as Aunts due to Lambdadelta putting them up to it Lambdadelta pretty much kills Rudolf and Kyrie as Parents while Rudolf kills the concept of George the kind nephew.

Erika represents Demon Hanyuu, Demon Satoko and Demon Rika combined. Erika frames Natsuhi because Demon Hanyuu and Demon Satoko wanted to hide Demon Satoko’s crimes on Lambdadelta’s behalf.

Since George, Kyrie, Rudolf and Eva are the Culprits that means that Maria can kill anyone as the Culprit can lie in Purple Truth.

Wait… Witch Satoko called her mentor Eua… Eu… Witch Satoko is Maria! Witch Satoko is the Scent Hanyuu which means Eua is Rosa! Eua gave looping powers to Satoko in order to fight off Beatrice not realizing that Maria was the one possessing her in order to take control over destiny by becoming the killer of her previous host Rika.

Rika dying mysteriously before Maria deciding to become a killer in Satoko’s Body in Meguri was Demon Satoko making a direct move against Maria via the Witch’s Epitaph.

That means the Rika of Higurashi Rei Manga is Jessica which means that Demon Satoko is going to be beaten down and captured by Bernkastel right in front of us giving away the Higurashi Umineko plot scheme!

The fact that Jessica’s Gameboard is revealed is simply because the writer wants the Purple Truth discrepancy of Bernkastel’s Gameboard out of the way before revealing the Maria Gameboard as revealing even Red Eyes Rika as Maria would confuse anyone who read George and Maria’s Purple Truths.

Revealing Jessica’s Gameboard on the other hand exposes the truth of Maria’s Purple Truth by revealing that Rudolf and Kyrie are kids and that thus George is a Culprit and lies about Maria not killing anyone which is what the writer of Umineko wants us to realize.

Maria was given the power of creation by Beatrice which was the most reckless act that Beatrice perpetuated as it allowed a psychotic killer to have the power to kill with her own personal army thus creating the world of Higurashi Mei.

Edit: Just realized that Higurashi Gou/Sotsu/Meguri, Higurashi Rei Manga and Higurashi Mai are Bernkastel’s Game which she and Maria prepared in retaliation for the Rokkenjima Massacre.

Bernkastel’s Game(the only game where the Culprits are actual Murderers) has Lambdadelta, Bernkastel and Maria as the Culprit.

Eua gave Satoko Loops which resulted in her becoming a Witch slightly capable of resisting Maria which enraged her enough to attack Eua in her true identity.

Maria is a Creator Witch and thus is the source of the Tsukuyami of Higurashi Mai and the Sleeping Sickness while also bringing Beatrice, Battler and Lambdadelta into Satoko’s Gameboard(which she got dumped into following Maria killing her) by kidnapping Rika(supposedly the original Rika I.E. Beatrice the 2nd).

Edit 2: Just realized the possibility that Beatrice is the Original Hanyuu as Kinzo would be the Legend of Oyashiro-Sama which would be revealed dead by Hanyuu herself and Lambdadelta.

Lambdadelta is Beatrice’s mentor and thus the Beatrice that Kinzo had on Rokkenjima Island and yet she also is Eva and so is Kinzo’s daughter. That would mean Featherine who is supposed to be Fiction who realized she is Fiction is both Hideyoshi and Kinzo.

Lambdadelta is heavily implied to be the Fragment of Hanyuu that Rika ripped from her Mother’s guts. Since Kinzo is the Legend of Oyashiro-Sama that means that her other mother Beatrice must be Hanyuu and since Lambdadelta gave her title of Beatrice to her mother said mother becomes Lambdadelta’s daughter and mother.

Hanyuu has been taught Magic by Lambdadelta and was taught how to make Furniture(read: possess bodies) by Maria Ushiromiya and used it to possess Rika. Rika went Catatonic right on the spot.

The Jessica Fragment of Rika was watched over by Kisaku Kimiyoshi(Krauss) and Sakiko Kimiyoshi(Natsuhi). When Hanyuu approached them in Rika’s Body she got rejected.

In all likelihood she will expose herself in Rika’s Body and then Lambdadelta shows up to explain everything causing Sakiko to off herself in guilt while Kisaku desperate wrestles with the delusion of Oyashiro-Sama and gets killed himself.

Kyrie(informed by Eua about Lambdadelta’s stunt) upon discovering Hanyuu’s location promptly initiates the Rokkenjima Massacre killing Rika forcing her and Hanyuu to Loop into Jessica Rika’s Body killing her in the process while waking Rika up.

Hanyuu after seeing Rika regaining her Memories tries to off herself so that Rika can live in the new loop only for Rika to save her causing a merge into Ange Beatrice.

Hanyuu promptly hunts down the Higurashi Mei Rika and pulls the same stunt as before when she merged with Rika(pretty much copy & pasting her Rika onto Mei’s Rika who clearly was not interested in befriending the mysterious Nao or Kazuho) then possesses Satoko just as Maria did with Gou’s Satoko.

Maria promptly kidnaps Rika causing Hanyuu to get angry enough to make off with Satoko and modify her Body into Kazuho Kimiyoshi before getting it shot by Maria forcing Hanyuu to Loop again.

Hanyuu is forced into a younger version of Rena and winds up in the proper timeline under the name Nao with Rika but will be eventually forced to acknowledge her true identity by Maria who(being the master of the Furniture Technique) will separate Hanyuu from Nao who will seek out their friends in the Dream World that Maria grabbed Rika from and track down those whose minds are stable enough to bring to the perfect Hinamizawa AKA the Golden Land.

Since the Satoko that Hanyuu possessed was Kazuho Kimiyoshi that means she can’t very well create Satoko but thankfully Satoko herself became a Witch(no thanks to Eua giving her Looping Powers) and can have her Memories reawakened by Hanyuu manually while Rika is in the room.

That’s when Maria makes her move against Lambdadelta’s piece Une whom she has been framing for her crimes.
