Line 45:
* I think it's been confirmed that red truth is subjective truth, which made me think that gold truth could be objective truth. Then again, I'm not sure how either would work, so your explanation, which is more thought out than mine, makes more sense right now.
** {{color|gold|The gold truth is used to make any true statement using the rules of Beato's game as a basis for deduction.}}
*** That's probably the best way to think of it. I think the easiest way to interpret it without contradicting any of the previous colored truths or the fundamental game itself is to the think of the gold truth like an incarnation of the rules, much like Beato is. Anyone who understands the whole truth about Beato's game can use it and it is allowed to speak any truth pertaining to those rules. For example, EP 5, Battler can use it to guarantee Kinzo's corpse because that is one of the rules Beato's game revolves around, it's part of the core mystery and is an established fact by the rules of the games. Unlike the red truth though, the gold truth seems like it can't be used for any statement outside of that though.
== Gold truth is the truth of tyrannicides, geniuses and madmen ==
Line 221:
* So what does Kinzo's corpse have to do with Beatrice's Heart?
** Unless Beatrice is some sort of Frankensteinian Zombie, nothing physical. Kinzo's Corpse is part of the 'rules'. A better way to put it is 'The Golden Truth is this story's [[Anthropic Principle]]. Denying that it's Kinzo's Corpse if it's stated to be Kinzo's Corpse in gold is effectively the same as playing a game of chess and putting the king in your pocket to protect it when it's in a position of checkmate.
* So basically, {{color|blue| the Golden Truth is the statement of rules of Beatrice's game.}} This, in a way, combines the idea of "Beatrice's heart" (as Beatrice is the embodiment of the rules), premise truth (as the rules are based off the premise), AND explains Ryukishi's statement that "even pieces can use the Golden Truth." After all, if you're in an RP and a player starts godmodding, you can accuse them of breaking the rule {{color|gold|"No godmodding allowed"}}, even if you're not the GM.
== The reason the creators introduced colored text? ==
Line 321:
== The gold truth is the golden key ==
* A. In order for the red truth to be used to support a human-side theory, it must be backed up by evidence.
* B. There is a "golden key," a mystery at the center of umineko that once discovered unlocks all of the other mysteries.
Thus, the purpose of the golden truth is clear. If someone was to create a human-side theory, and use evidence related to the key, it would reveal the secret to everyone. Thus, the golden truth is the right of those who know the truth to waive the need to actually state the evidence to ones opponent. So to give an example.
Line 345:
The Red Truth above is the foundation for the Golden Truth. Kinzo has been guaranteed dead, and other red truths throughout the games make clear that the corpse is found during the games, hence the corpse must be in the island, being possible to find and present it. Which can mean that the corpse is availabe to be presented, making possible to state the Golden Truth.
A case of an inferior Golden Truth is the one that states that Beato used 'magic' with the overturned cup.
{{color|yellow| You used magic to create a golden flower petal inside an overturned cup. It was a splendid bit of magic.}}
Line 363:
