SPOILER WARNING: So this is going to contain Umineko Episode 8 spoilers. More specifically, it’s going to talk about the solution to Bernkastel’s game.
So is it just me, or is the logic of the solution COMPLETELY WRONG? As far as I can tell, any combination of Battler, George, Maria and their parents could have been the culprits. Here’s why:
According to the game, the reason that only one of the three cousins (Battler, George, Maria) could have been a culprit, because only one of them could have killed Shannon. Since it’s been confirmed that George couldn’t kill Shannon, we can also confirm that Maria couldn’t kill Shannon. Therefore, Battler is supposedly the logical choice.
But then let me ask you….WHO KILLED KANON?
It’s stated in red that Kanon is treated as killed and that his key is destroyed, but doesn’t that mean he must have a murderer?
It seems the game has completely ignored Kanon-kun’s killer when considering the solution. But with both Shannon and Kanon killed at the same time, this means that up to two of the cousins could be culprits. With no way to figure out which two, or even if there’s only just one, the deduction stops here and there’s actually no way to solve this puzzle.
See how far my logic has taken me? What do you guys think?
