Umineko: When They Cry/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* And in Ougon Musou Kyoku, Rosa Musou, [[Fan Nickname|Goat]] [[Castlevania|Killer]] gets her key moments there made into her [[Super Move]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDgvqQYrI9c&feature=related Rondo Super and Meta Super].

** Golden Dream: with a giant ingot, but still:

* Goat Hunting: The Goat Killer combo, just as described in the Visual Novel.

* And lastly, her Meta Super:

Maria: Uu-! Here, Mama! (a second Winchester is tossed to Rosa) }}

** Cue Rosa [[Dual-Wielding]]

** Kyrie and Rudolf facing off against two of the Seven Stakes, and Kyrie defeating her opponent by basically ''out-envying her.''

*** Speaking of Rudolf, let's not forget this little exchange:

'''Rudolf:''' Heh, you'd make a good wife. [[That's What She Said|A husband would love to hear that when he comes home tired]]. }}

** And of course, who could ever forget {{spoiler|Beatrice's elaborate ruse where she convinces Battler she has turned over a new leaf, right up until he's about to sign a contract that admits his defeat?}}

* The two battles between {{spoiler|Gaap and George}} and {{spoiler|Jessica and Ronove}} wherein {{spoiler|they are forced to make a [[Sadistic Choice]], but instead go for a third option--fighting their opponent.}}

** And even when {{spoiler|it looked like George ''was'' about to make one of the three choices on which life to sacrifice--his own, his lover's, or everyone else's--instead of going for the obvious and making the [[Heroic Sacrifice]] choice Jessica made, he simply chooses for everyone else to die.}} To this troper, watching {{spoiler|George beat down the barrier for the choices a hero usually makes in favour of a choice that wouldn't be traditionally heroic}} was just...amazing. Of course, it also makes the following moment even more awesome:

* In episode 4, after seeing Kinzo spend the first few games [[Large Ham|screaming Beatrice's name at the sky and begging for her to return,]] he finally [[Took a Level In Badass|takes a level in badass:]] {{spoiler|He not only summons the Siestas, he also summons two of Beatrice's most powerful furniture, ''and'' her mentor. At the same time.}} There's a ''reason'' he gained something of a fanbase in America after the anime aired that particular episode.

* Maria getting [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]] in Episode 4 goes [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The scene where {{spoiler|she [[Calling the Old Man Out|calls her mother out on her mistreatment of her]] and then repeatedly kills her in true When They Cry fashion}} manages to be this, horrifying, '''and''' a [[Tear Jerker]] at the same time. That alone makes it awesome.

***** "human" and "people/person" mean different things in Umineko canon.

* ''Dawn'' again: The Stakes' subverting Erika and Dlanor to help Beato and Battler out when Beato makes her return. {{spoiler|Gertrude is holding up a barrier that Beato won't be able to get through, and the Siestas are quickly rebooting, almost able to take Beato out. The Stakes want to help the two out, but are unsure of how to proceed, because technically, Erika is currently commanding them. (Battler was comatose, and Erika married him; as his wife, she had the right to speak on his behalf and command what belonged to him.) Dlanor specifically tells Lucifer, "You are not allowed to move except by the orders of your MASTER."}} Then, this conversation occurs:

'''Beelzebub:''' It's just too delicious! Let's eat! }}

** Belz shoots forward and stakes Gertrude, but the barrier doesn't break. Gertrude just looks at Lucifer, and asks, "By whose orders? Know that Lady Erika has made no such order." "We do have orders. Th..the orders of our master!" "How can a master who cannot speak give orders?" "E..even though he can't talk, understanding a master's will is furniture's job!" With that, the six other Sisters all stake Gertrude, whose barrier shatters.

* A bit of a meta one: Witch Hunt, the group responsible for producing the unofficial English translation for the games, received a letter from Ryukushi07, the writer/creator of Umineko. Instead of responding with a Cease and Desist, like most would, R7 instead expressed admiration for their spirit and praised them for translating his game. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|He went on to name a group in the fourth episode of the novels after said translation group.]]

* Battler disproving Erika's closed room theory in EP5-- by jumping out of a third story window.

'''Battler:''' Quit your whining and watch! }}

* Episode 8, but it still contains a lot of awesome battles. Especially the EVERYONE vs goats and Lambda vs Bern/Featherine.
