Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - 8 - Twilight of the Golden Witch recap part 3

Umineko Chiru Episode 8 - Twilight of the Golden Witch part 4


Back at the halloween party, Battler is awaiting the return of Ange and also Erika's appearance. he wants to see how well Erika does at Bern's game... Bern is trying to hide her smirk when they are talking about Ange...

Ange returns, and then calls out Battler for his tricks. She declares that this game is a battle and that she won't fall for his tricks anymore...
Ange:
There's only one thing I've ever wanted! The truth of Rokkenjima in 1986.
Battler:
The truth is sealed within the cat box... it can't be reached by someone outside the cat box like you.
Yes, this is an illusion. However, I wanted you to feel this fun atmosphere, the harmony within your family... I wanted you to remember the warmth of these family conferences, a warmth you forgot about.
The truth of 1986 doesn't exist. The cat box is empty inside... you're looking for something that isn't there.
Hmph. I won't be tricked anymore. The truth of that day does exist... It was written down by the sole survivor and preserved to this very day!
Ange:
Eva... thank you for giving me one last chance to learn the truth.
Eva:
A...Ange-chan, listen... everything I wrote in that diary is nonsense, so it doesn't...
Ange:
There's no point in trying to deceive me. It's already been proven in red that your diary has the truth of that day written in it!
Beato:
...A...absurd. How could anyone but Battler, the Game Master, use the red truth?!
Lambda:
...... It's Auaurora, isn't it?
Bern:
That's right... The Book of the Single Truth exists in 1998, the world of the future. Who else could confirm the crucial role of confirming its contents with the red truth?
Ange:
... and no matter how hard you try to cover it up in 1986, I can expose it in 1998!! After all, you are the Beatrice of 1986... and I am the Beatrice of 1998!!
A swirl of golden butterflies rose up around Ange... Ange turns into her future self...
I am ANGE Beatrice of 1998, the final Golden Witch!! No witch of the past can defeat a witch of the future!!
You are the Golden and Endless Witch. I'm not! I'm the Witch of Gold and Truth! No illusion can stand in my way!! Yes, this is the end of Onii-chan's boring party! Now it's time for my party to start!! I've readied a game to liven things up! You're up, Eva-oba san.
EVA Beatrice suddenly shows up...
In the world of the future, Battler-kun's sentimental illusion is more fragile than a flake of snow on a lake! Okay, let's have some fun!! Come, try to remember, "all of you". Remember "your" endless theory-making!!
Eva Beatrice smashes a bottle... Beato says that was probably a fragment she brought back with her from the future... the contents of the cat box in the future.
That's right... the people of 1986 have no idea what dark, awful theories people had created out of the cat box by 1998.
They looked outside... the goats that were taunting Ange before... rose up out of a sea of broken fragments in the rose garden...
Battler's/Beato's magic allies can't even stand up to them... the sheer number of them makes it impossible. they surrounded the entire mansion.
They are manifestations of people's delusions from the future, about the 1986 cat box.
Beato:
Endless possibilities are hidden within the cat box. Because of that, those outside the box can imagine the insides to be any one of an infinite number of things.
Dlanor:
In the future world, any and all interpretations can and do EXIST. Unless we deny them, each will be able to call their own views the truth, and they will remain on this ISLAND.
The goats have started eating away at the game board itself...
Eva:
In the future world, everyone believes that we were swallowed up by tragedy today... That's why "they" won't accept a truth where we enjoy ourselves in peace...
Beato:
...Truths of the past are inferior to truths of the future... the merciless future fangs and jaws of those goats... refuse to accept our truth and are eroding it, replacing it with "the kind of truth they expect".
The 7 sisters, Dlanor, Will and the others fended off the goats, while the humans took shelter on the 2nd floor...

Lambda was playing neutral.. watching from the sidelines, as usual. As a voyager witch, Lambdadelta could retreat from this game board of Battler's if she wanted to.
The island was getting devoured by a sea of goats... there's nowhere left to run...
Kinzo:
No, there is just one place... The Golden Land. The most impenetrable place on this game board.
Beato:
I just have to open it... However, an immense wave of the anti-magic toxin is emanating from that crowd of goats.
There's one more problem... The door to the Golden Land cannot be shut unless two people close it from the outside.
This must be an agreement between the three witches who are one... The 3 Beatrices can only close the door to the Golden Land from the outside with 2 people. Only Battler and Beato can fulfill the role of shutting the door... Beato started slowly opening it... Battler and Kinzo had to fend off goats from the study.

Meanwhile, the goats downstairs started using their anti-magic toxin to deny the 7 sisters' existence...
They are fantasy creatures... personifying stakes for ceremonial sacrifices...
The Siesta troops backed them up... but some goats were completely unaffected by their attacks...
They have Maria's rabbit dolls as their vessels... Maria's imagination, fantasy, fictional beings...
All of the crimes can be explained by mystery... All fantasy is irrelevant
All of our attacks are completely useless!
Endless Nine nyeh... If they don't accept that we exist, our attacks can't hurt them nyeh.
they blocked Ronove's attacks too... Genji is Ronove's vessel... an imaginary version of Genji.
There was no point in Virgilia trying either... even these great demons and great witches, as well as their high-level furniture and weapons, were overcome.

So like... now Ange seems to have completely forgotten that stuff about white magic she learned from Maria... she's denying these magical creatures the same way she did to Sakutaro back then...

The goats are about to eat Ronove...
I won't accept fantasy... won't accept... It's possible to explain everything with mystery... possibllle... Fantasy is faaaake, everything is mysteryyyyyy...!
Suddenly, a red slice from a red sword appears...
Which of you... mentioned MYSTERY?
... Will and Dlanor approach the goats, wielding their red and black blades. Though the goats had been so vicious against the fantasy creatures, they stepped back when faced with this pair wielding swords of mystery.
There have been a great many closed room murders on this game BOARD. Choose whichever you please, and we will parry all of your ATTACKS.
While most of the goats called themselves anti-fantasy, they had no answer for the mystery. Well, every now and then, there was a goat who did have an answer.
S, someone outside the Ushiromiya family was hiding on the island and...
*slash*
Knox's 1st, it is forbidden for the culprit to be anyone not mentioned in the early part of the STORY!!
There were multiple culprits all working separately, and it just happened to look like a single culprit...
*slash*
Van Dine's 12th, There must be but one true culprit.
However, one goat wasn't affected by their blades... saying
Van Dine and Knox are useless for making theories. There is no need... for a theory... This isn't an orthodox mystery, so thinking is just a waste of time... I won't... accept Beatrice's game as a mystery... There are no answers to the tricks... It's all, all... just an illuuuusion...
Will:
... People like you, who call themselves mystery fans even though they never try to solve it like a mystery... You're the ones I really can't stand!!!
Van Dine and Knox may be behind the times. The mystery genre does progress with time. However, there's one thing that never changes. That is... pride. Will couldn't forgive the kind of coward who could give up on a mystery and then brag about it.
Come, you'll probably beat me to a pulp, but that'll be no victory for you. You'll destroy your own pride with your own hands!!
Just as the goats are about to defeat Will...
In this game, if you give up, that means you lose, right?
Battler smashed his fist into the goat's mouth.
If you stop thinking, that means you've given up on the story being a mystery. Which means... as far as you're concerned, this game is a fantasy.
It's the same as acknowledging that the Siesta sisters and the other fantasy creatures exist.
Begin recognition of hostile elements...! Mark all targets vulnerable to magical attacks in our HMDs!!
Dlanor & Will:
And if you have a theory, we will hear it OUT. We'll welcome those people with open arms. Out of respect for them, we won't hold anything back!
Battler:
This isn't your game right now... no matter how much you future fragments try to deny us, this is no time for me to be defeated...
A golden glint gathered in Battler's hand... it was so bright that the whole hall was bathed in gold. as though the whole room was being swallowed up by the Golden Land. Battler lifted... his golden longsword high.
Feel free to challenge Beato's game as a mystery or a fantasy. I welcome it. But I'm not gonna let you deny this final game of mine.
Battler took out a horde of goats, and regrouped with Beato... he then noticed that the goats had avoided eating the chapel... that must be where Ange is...

Ange broke the magic seal on the chapel and stepped inside... but the seal on the Book of the Single Truth... this was on a different level. this couldn't be broken by anyone except the Game Master. however, Bern is also a Game Master.
Beato and Battler tried to approach Ange, but got stopped by... a closed room barrier.
Looks like our final guest has finally arrived.
You don't mean...
Go and take care of Ange...!
Battler:
... I've been waiting. Was it boring in that depths of oblivion place?
Those dark depths.... Just the perfect place to think up mysteries to challenge you with when we next met.
Come, Furudo Erikaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Both of them were sealed inside a closed room locked with a chain... they are arguing about how each other died in a closed room... I don't even know what's going on there.


That epic goat battle... this is my favorite episode now.
