Line 46:
** ''Turn of the golden witch''. The "Cousins Arc." The family is revealed to have a dark history related to black magic, and the relationships between George and Shannon, Jessica and Kanon, and Rosa and Maria are greatly focused on. Rosa is a central character to this arc's events.
** ''Banquet of the golden witch''. The "Eva Arc." A handful of new characters are introduced, and the pasts of Eva and Beatrice are expanded upon. Eva is the most prominent adult of the arc.
** ''Alliance of the golden witch''. The "Ange Arc." The future of 1998 is explored as the sole survivor of the Ushiromiya family, Ange, explores the nature of magic and witches.
*** ''Rondo of the Witch and Reasoning''. PS3 remake of the first four games by Alchemist. Keeping the original BGM, using the voice actors from the anime, and completely redoing art.
* '''When They Cry 4: Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru''' (''When The Seagulls Cry: Breakdown''). A direct continuation of the above, this delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding the family, where rather than outright answers, only subtle hints are given at first.
** ''End of the golden witch''. The "Natsuhi Arc." The game continues with somewhat new players, and the scope of the game changes when someone shipwrecks on the island before the murders. Natsuhi's past is explained and she is a featured character in the game's plotline.
** ''Dawn of the golden witch''. The "Shannon and Kanon Arc." A new game master takes up the helm and gives us a tale with some unexpected twists, focusing on the two cousin-servant couples and hinting at many of the game's biggest mysteries, complete with a return to 1998.
** ''Requiem of the golden witch''. The "Lion and Yasu Arc." Yet another new game master presents her personal perception of the "truth" of the game. The story is split between an alternate, "perfect" world where the tragedy does not happen (which focuses instead on Kinzo and Beatrice's backstories) and the game master's culprit theory proper. Features two new perspective characters, Willard H. Wright and Lion Ushiromiya.
Line 71:
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Multiple times, in fact.
* [[Arc]] - The repetitions. The main games and anime are divided into "Question Arcs" and "Answer Arcs", each of the latter corresponding to one of the former but using different perspectives to solve various mysteries.
** In Umineko, the arcs are stated by [[Word of God]] to ''not'' be considered "Answer Arcs" and the [[Fan Nickname]] "Core Arcs" has quickly spread.
* [[Bad Future]] - Himatsubushi-hen, Yoigoshi-hen, and Onisarashi-hen and its spinoffs, as well as simply the endings for most of the other arcs for Higurashi. ''Alliance of the golden witch'' shows the future stemming from ''Banquet''.
* [[Badass Family]] - The Sonozakis and the Ushiromiyas, respectively.
Line 101:
* [[Groundhog Peggy Sue]]
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]
* [[Infant Immortality]] - [[Subverted Trope|Ahahahahaha...no]]. Just because you're a youngster, don't think for a ''second'' that your safety is guaranteed.
* [[Invisible to Normals]] - Hanyuu in Higurashi, and witches to... some extent in Umineko. It's confusing. They try to sum it up with Ange's remark that, "Without love, without sadness, you can't see magic," but it's still confusing.
* [[It Got Worse]]
Line 144:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Quite a few characters have this:
** ''Higurashi'' has Rika's "mii" (the sound a kitten makes) and "nipaa" (a Japanese onomatopoeia for smiling), as well as Hanyuu's "hau au au" whenever she gets scared or upset.
** ''Umineko'' has Maria's "uu-". This isn't just a random noise, however, since {{spoiler|Maria believes that it's a spell for happiness}}. It's also [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructed]], since the sound of it irritates Rosa to the point that she'll [[Abusive Parents|hit Maria for saying it too much]], and it's one of the reasons why other children bully her.
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Based Franchise]]}}
* [[The Watcher]] - Actually, the same character in both (... maybe) - (Frederica) Bernkastel.
* [[Who Dunnit to Me?]]
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: {{spoiler|[[Punctuated!
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]] - {{spoiler|Subverted.}}
