She is very darn cute. And actually, I’m starting to wonder if she might be the one pulling the strings from the background.

I’m casting my lot with Lambda. At least I know what she’s playing…and she’s so dang cute. >.<

I prefer to think what if Rokkenjima isn’t a closed circle? The witches say in red no more than 18 people exist there, but they never said whether or not it’s a closed circle or if more people CAN ENTER THERE after it’s declared!

And what if someone died? The human count would have to go down as the deaths progress! I think that if they can say that 18 people exist on the island, then are they counting the dead? What if the count goes up by one after each death? All it would take is just one person to kill someone, and another can show up to take the spot, keeping the head count at 18 people.

I’ve been keeping up with this, it’s really good. A friend of mine is playing the visual novels, they’re even better.

You know it just occured to me that Beatrice is an very smart idiot. First of all the only reason she didn’t win in this episode was A. lying about the contract and B. trying strong-arm tactics. She also didn’t apply fine print to the contract and instead made its purpose written in blaringly bold print on the first line. Finally, she shouldn’t have admitted to faking everything but at least that can be explained by her sadism.

This got me thinking. What if Kinzo is dead, but he died off the island? I’d have to go back and rewatch eps to see if it was possible, but I think there have been a few cases where no one actually sees Kinzo until his dead body mysteriously shows up. But what if that body was just planted, and Kinzo left the island before the storm began. This could open the door for a 18th murderer that wasn’t Eva. Maybe this is just crazy talk though. :p

lol Nanjo’s death is going to keep nagging at me since it is left open — if the red truth can be believed, then someone other than Eva killed the guy, but if Eva is the sole murderer, then we have the first (I think) confirmed hole in the red truth, since Evatrice specifically states that neither Battler nor Eva is involved in Nanjo’s murder. But who knows when any of that will be addressed, haha.

I thoroughly enjoyed being Beatrolled.

-editadd

just like I don’t expect Battler to use any of the unbreachable denials based upon perception being flawed. Examples include: “this isn’t magic just my insanity, I hope they deliver the pills soon” “YOU are a figment of my imagination” “nothing that I am not currently and personally witnessing is guarenteed to exist” “if you act under the assumption of a technology existing that alters memories, all perceptions are equally true or false, not even the memory of red words is safe.”

No not literally furniture but mystically. Basically it depends on how BEATRICE defines people. And we’ve seen how dehuminizingly she views the furniture characters, which leads me to be able to perfectly envision a scene of her saying “well of course they didn’t count… They are only furniture, mere objects, not people” basically the same sort of “logic” that was applied with slaves

on the other hand I don’t actually expect my idea to happen (due to reasons of narrative causality), I just was noting that it very well COULD.

I was always suspicious of why Beato suddenly turned nice. I was thinking "wow, that was the dumbest sudden personality change ever." Well that paid off quite well in the end. Quite the charade Beato was running there. .-= TJ´s last blog ..To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 05 =-.
