Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - 5 - Tea Parties recap

Umineko Chiru Episode 5 Tea Party

So, the Illusion of the Golden witch has disappeared, and the results of all the previous games painted over with a new truth.

Apparently the 7 sisters of purgatory that serve Beatrice, they are fakes that were created in USA... Kinzo was a sucker who paid big bucks for any fake occult object.

Bern gives Erika the temporary title of "Witch of Truth", and has her take over the sealed Rokenjima, to remove all traces of Beato's Illusion of the Witch. The Voyager witches, Lamdadelta and Bernkastel, travel across the countless glittering futures of possibility, and gobble them up... trying to escape their illness called boredom for as long as they can.

I guess some sliver of Natsuhi's truth still remains in ep5... so Erika now has to use ep6 to totally and completely smash the game board.

Then there's the Tea Party of those who are not human...

Umineko Chiru Episode 5 ????

In this place, the concept of death means nothing except that one has stopped thinking... Battler, pierced by the red wedges of Dlanor's execution... Beato goes up to it and says ".... you .... liar"
He recalls that conversation with Dlanor... Knox's Decalogue, the mystery genre's first line of defense... it is the proof that a mystery is solvable with the hints provided for the reader. Although it's supposed to be the opposite of fantasy, this method seems very similar to a Devil's Proof. In the past, Battler has always faught by using a Devil's Proof to imply an unknown element X. But that is anti-mystery.

Humans often refuse to even try reasoning it out because the lack of clues provided make reasoning impossible... that's what Battler did in the 1st game...

It's all useless

Then Beato sneered at him, asking him if he would repeat that over and over in an endless repetition of moves.
Battler is both anti-fantasy and anti-mystery. The reason he stopped thinking in the first game was because of lack of information... but even if he was given information, he would deny the basis of that info's truth. Beato then gave him what he wanted. Information that couldn't be denied. Red truth.

So... without Knox's Decalogue, Red Truth wouldn't be able to exist?

Though riddles are the only holes witches can live within, she began to give you the red truth, a method by which those riddles could be SOLVED.

Isn't this almost as though... Beato herself is admitting... that she

Episode 5 - End of the Golden Witch

Lambda and Bern, 2 witches that outrank Beato, and Virgilia doesn't even come close to them... these 2 want to resume the game in Beato's stead... Lambda as the new game master. Bern reminds Battler of Ange to convince him to continue with the game. Battler decides to take a break and have Bern substitute for him... Lambda can't do anything with Beato's game board that Beato couldn't do herself, but she can do things Beato wouldn't do. Maria is already dead when Battler rejoins the game.

Kinzo has the power to turn desire into reality, and is the only one who can control Beatrice...

A true monarch fears no hardship. They declare that they will overcome anything without fail.

He dies 2 years before the 1986 conference.. Natsuhi and Krauss have to deal with the inheritance problem... Natsuhi then convinces Beatrice to revive him with magic. she has to keep Kinzo away from the magic-resisting toxin to keep him alive.

Without love, it cannot be seen.

Bern solves the witch's epitaph, while giving Battler hints...

Behold the sweetfish river running through my beloved hometown.
You who seek the Golden Land, follow its path downstream in search of the key.
As you travel down it, you will see a village.
In that village, look for the shore the two will tell you of.
There sleeps the key to the Golden Land.
On the first twilight, offer the six chosen by the key as sacrifices.
On the second twilight, those who remain shall tear apart the two who are close.
On the third twilight, those who remain shall praise my noble name.
Twilight 4-8: Kill a single character
On the ninth twilight, the witch shall revive, and none shall be left alive.
On the tenth twilight, the journey shall end, and you shall reach the capital where the gold dwells.
The witch will praise the wise, and should bestow four treasures.
One shall be, all the gold from the Golden Land.
One shall be, the resurrection of the souls of all the dead.
One shall be, even the resurrection of the lost love.
One shall be, to put the witch to sleep for all time.
Sleep peacefully, my most beloved witch, Beatrice.

That hometown with the sweetfish river, is probably referring to something that's at least 11 or 13 characters long. First remove 6 characters, then tear apart the 2 characters that are close together, etc...

Natsuhi and Kraus, Beatrice's allies, were getting cornered. They didn't expect
