However, Kyrie’s account, while the narrated event is still doubtful, can be considered genuine, as she stated that she met her in front of Battler and was killed in the first twilight, therefore it can be said with a high certainty that she wasn’t an accomplice who would lie about something like this. Considering the later events, it is fairly certain that Rosa became an accomplice at that point. Rosa and Maria seeing her was clearly a pseudo-event, therefore the narration cannot be trusted. She was seen by Rosa, Maria and Kyrie and was acknowledged by the servants. \Guest\ Beatrice’s Identity DescriptionĪn actual 19th(sic) person, Beatrice, appeared on the island. Yasu wants to give the letter to Maria like in EP1 but is interrupted by Rosa, therefore she appears in front of her as well. Note that she is not dressed as the witch Beatrice but instead in the more “contemporary” costume, meaning the meeting probably did happen for real and it was Yasu in disguise. ExplanationĬontrast with the first episode. Rosa is given the first letter by Beatrice. Rosa “witnessing” the magic and later reporting on it also solidifies her status as an accomplice. She specifically asked Maria to close her eyes, therefore allowing the magic/deception. After that, all that’s needed was a simple sleight of hand as Beatrice. The method itself is quite obvious, but nevertheless it gives some insight into the events: It was specifically shown that Kanon had a pumpkin candy that was given to him by Maria earlier, but she didn’t accept it when he tried to give it back after her own candy was destroyed because it wasn’t the same candy. Maria’s candy was destroyed by Rosa but then Beatrice used “magic” to fix it in front of Rosa and Maria. That, combined with the gold in Yasu’s possession, would mean that she had all the financial and psychological incentive to betray her siblings. Finally, she learns that Kinzo is dead and his death was kept secret. She also had a bad relationship with her siblings. The reason why she would side with Yasu is complex. This time Rosa plays the same role as Eva in EP1: she provides the argument with Battler and nudges him towards the truth. Godha was probably threatened or paid off into playing along.Genji is the main accomplice, but he only sets things up for her.≪Back to index Episode 2: Turn of the Golden Witch Culprits Personally a side of me too would have preferred if Lion viewed himself as a girl but I think this is unlikely to be true.Episode 2: Turn of the Golden Witch | GabeZhul's solution to Umineko no Naku Koro ni Narratively speaking I think Ryukishi wanted him to identify as a male in contrapposition with Sayo/Beato who identifies herself as a female, as Lion is supposed to be Sayo/Beatrice’s reverse side. I think Lion is a character who is in the middle of evolving and discovering his true self and Umineko ended before Lion could finish his evolution and self discovery so I wouldn’t be surprised if, given some years, Lion would change his perception of himself. I’m not sure if his identifying himself with a boy is due to the fact he doesn’t know he has other options (as I doubt the Ushiromiya would allow him to identify himself with a woman, especially considering their horrid view of women), he’s in denial or unwilling to question himself, or it’s how he really feel. …which means ‘cooking is (assumed to be) for girls but Lion is for gender equality so, even though he’s a male, he cooks as well’. Regardless of gender, one should be able to stand in the kitchen.” I’ve already mentioned how he acknowledges himself as of a gender who’s normally not believed should stay in the kitchen: …canon is vague in this regard but I’ve said more than once that I think Lion is a boy who identifies himself as a boy.
