=== These are Wild Mass Guesses for the series ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]'' which have been confirmed by the series or by [[Word of God]]. If a WMG on one of the [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)ni/WMG/Open One/WMG|open]] [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)ni/WMG/Open Two/WMG|pages]] is confirmed, please move it here. ===
 
''Please add new confirmed entries to the bottom of the page''.

== Furudo Erika is headed for an [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]. ==
She's supposed to be Bernkastel's game piece, but we've seen how Bernkastel has been acting lately... And despite being a complete [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Bitch In Sheep's Clothing]], she also clearly ''fears'' Bernkastel and being ignored... Then there's the scene after {{spoiler|her first [[Villainous Breakdown]] where she begs Bernkastel to acknowledge her, and Bern responds by ''striking her down and possibly altering her memories'' just to shut her up}}. She's going to crash and burn, and it's ''not'' going to be pretty.
* Confirmed. Bernkastel reveals that although Erika most certainly did wash up on Rokkenjima, she was already dead when she did, as she drowned at sea. Not the kind of death I'd wish on her, the bitch.
* Her last conversation with Dlanor has her going surprisingly dere on us. I had to choke back my milk when I first read it.
Line 60:
*** Kanon's escaping one closed room to rescue meta-Battler from another: the simplest theory that explains it is that Kanon was NEVER in the sealed room--"he" was Shannon, in the other room, and Erika's own insistence on guaranteeing "Everyone else is in this room" came back to bite her bigtime.
*** "Sorry, but - " "{{color|red|Even if you join us - }}" "{{color|red|There are 17 people.}}"
*** My only problem is this "{{color|red|"I am Furudo Erika, the detective!! I am the visitor, the 18th human on Rokkenjima!!"}}. She was able to say it in red even though it was a lie -- whereas when Battler tried to declare in red that he's Asumu's son, he was stopped in his tracks while trying to mutter it.
**** People = alive, human = just a body. If you execute Erika in the TIPS it says she washed up on shore dead in the first place. This "definition of people" was already specified with the Kinzo shenanigans, right? Although in that case, she's really the 19th human. Oh well.
**** That's easy. You simply miscalculated. 16 people (that is, everyone that is alive) + 1 = 17 people. 17 humans (that is, everyone alive plus Kinzo) + 1 = 18 humans. {{color|blue| Erika thought that there were 17 people on the island without her, and stated that she was the 18th human, which was true. Then, when Battler and Beatrice stated that even with her on the island there were only 17 people, she couldn't find a way to justify her existence and disappeared in a [[Puff of Logic]].}} That way, she was Retconned into never actually arriving to the island alive, and just being a body. This is the {{color|blue|only}} way that the 6th game can be solved.
Line 78:
*** They are not. Read the story again. But still, everything can be interpreted in more than ten ways, so you can really believe what you want to.
*** I admit I was being a bit sarcastic, but quite a lot of the things that happen in Episode 4 just simply don't make sense, even with the metaphors that Shannon=Kanon. At any rate, not all magic scenes contain metaphorical truths. I can say with all security that Shannon is Kanon is Beatrice. I will say, however, that it can't be proven. Such is the way of Rokkenjima's cat box. Believe what you want, but at the very least, think before you speak. Reason before you claim. Edit before you post, and for the love of Zarquon, fix your spelling and grammar as well. (This last bit is referring to the guy with hideous grammar above, not the troper I'm responding to.)
** And [[EP 8]]EP8 gives us this from Bernkastel, basically saying 'by the way if Shanon dies Kanon disappears too since, you know, that's what happens to Kanon if Shanon dies' during the detective minigame. That's about as close to an outright confirmation that we'll probably get.
 
== The last people alive are killed by a time bomb ==
Line 100:
== Beatrice is not the true antagonist. ==
(Note that this troper hasn't gotten far in the game and may be wrong in this theory...)
True, Beatrice did eat Battler at the end of the 1st game and is always attacking everyone with her stakes, but the way she treats Maria just doesn't fit with her 'evil nature'. I mean, she's a ''witch'' for the love of god! She's supposed to murder, drive people insane, etc, not take care of one of the children. Also, take note of her and Battler's [[Go-Karting Withwith Bowser|relation]][[Worthy Opponent|ship]]. So it's either there's [[The Man Behind the Man|someone pulling the strings from behind]] that even ''she'' doesn't know about or it's a case of [[Even Evil Has Standards]].
* The ??? Tea Party of episode 3 confirms that Lambdadelta is [[The Man Behind the Man|The Man Behind The Man]] and Episode 4's ??? Tea Party seems to be setting 34 and Bern up as antagonists of an entirely different level than Beatrice.
* As of episode 5, it's clearly Bernkastel, while Lambdadelta seems to be more of an observer. Episodes 7 and 8 show that {{spoiler|Bernkastel is, in fact, the major antagonist here.}}
 
Line 113:
 
...Then he had his falling out with the family and left, abandoning her. Six years later, he comes waltzing back to the island and is a total lech who acts like she doesn't even exist. [[Woman Scorned|No wonder she's pissed.]]
* Considering the type of "Embarrassing things" Shannon recalls Battler saying, Battler seems like a regular [[Kidanova|KidAnova]], or at least, [[Casanova Wannabe|tried to be]]. It wouldn't surprise [[This Troper]] if he made such promises to a lot of people and Beato was the only one who took him at his word.
* {{color|red|The sin I am now demanding that you remember is not between Ushiromiya Battler and Beatrice.}}
** {{color|blue|The sin is ''no longer'' between Battler and Beatrice, now that he's starting to keep the promise. They just need to wrap things up, and people will stop dying.}}
*** {{color|red|Knox's 8th! It is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not presented! The above Red Truth states that Battler's sin was not against "Beatrice", therefore, it was against someone else}}, {{color|blue|and this person that Battler sinned against is the culprit behind the murders in all of the stories.}} {{color|red|Battler Ushiromiya has a sin. Because of [Battler's] sin, people die. Due to [Battler's] sin, a great many humans on this island die. No one escapes, all die.}}
*** Which Battler and which Beatrice was [[EP 4]]EP4 Beato talking about anyway?
* Sorta confirmed in episode 7. Of course, as Beato stated, the promise was not to her, but {{spoiler|Shannon. On the other hand, since Shannon and Beatrica are implied to be alter egos...}}
 
Line 150:
 
== People in the Ushiromiya Family are prone to suffering [[Split Personality|Disassociative Identity Disorder]]. ==
A Split Personality might be a way to get around some of the limitations imposed by the Red Text. If Battler suffers from [[Split Personality|Disassociative Identity Disorder]], it could solve [[EP 4]]EP4 last mystery.
* It also counts for Natsuhi's conversations with Kinzo, Eva having no recollection of some of the events in [[EP 3]]EP3, not to mention seeing her high school self asking why she doesn't just give up and die, Rosa being the BEST MOM EVER and so forth.
** {{color|red|This is plausible}}, especially on Rosa's part. {{color|blue|The other self that abuses Maria is called the Black Witch, hence why Maria refers to Rosa's violent outbursts as "being possessed by the Black Witch".}}
* Confirmed for some people. In particular, {{spoiler|Shannon/Kanon/Beatrice is very heavily implied}} in episode 7, and episode 3 implies Eva/EVA.
Line 158:
I'm surprised nobody pointed that out, as in that Shannon is the Beatrice of [[E Ps]] 2 and 4 - just look at the tattoo on her leg.
 
Battler was drunk in [[EP 2]]EP2, so it's pretty easy to mistake Shannon as Beatrice as long as there's a slight disguise, and he was in the rain in [[EP 4]]EP4, so he can't possibly see Shannon's face that clearly, so it could be Shannon masquerading as Beatrice in the Balcony scene for all we know.
* Very heavily implied in episode 7.
 
Line 239:
* Episode 8 confirms that: {{spoiler|Tohya Hachijo is actually Battler, while the person calling herself Hachijo is actually Ikuko Hachijo}}
