I knew we weren’t going to get satisfactory answers, since the VN is ongoing, but I think you could’ve felt a sense of completion with Higurashi even if there wasn’t a second season. Maybe Beatrice was just tired of playing the game and wanted to finish it as soon as possible, but the way the anime was laid out, it felt more like she was giving a pass to Battler because she realized there was only about 10 minutes left in the show when they started trading barbs. I don’t know if the VN progressed the same way, but the Battler vs. So, I posted my initial thoughts in my last post. I’d originally thought they had a much more antagonistic relationship, but that doesn’t appear to be the case, as the anime ends with both agreeing that Beatrice has no chance to win. While Bern muses that she thought Battler was pretty spot on. This suggests that everything can be explained rationally and logically, without resorting to trap X and person X. Finally, in arc 3, Battler explains Nanjo’s murder by suggesting that someone faked their death earlier to return to kill Nanjo, before dying themselves shortly after for whatever reason, allowing EvaBeatrice to tick off all the names of the dead in red without being incorrect.Ĭut to the epilogue, and we see Lambda and Bern talking about the game, with Lambda lambasting Battler for his ridiculous blue truths, trap X’s, person X’s and whatnot (I’m glad she called that out).Either way, Beatrice thinks it’s even more amusing than the last theories and declines to challenge it Not one that I would’ve thought of at least. Sort of silly, but I suppose it’s a possibility.

In arc 2, Battler postulates that the 6 in the chapel ingested small bombs, which exploded in their stomachs.

But Battler’s grasping at straws here, but Beatrice accepts the theories for their entertainment value and loses round 1 For what possible reason these four would’ve acted this way, I don’t know.

He also explains the above deaths with Nanjo, Shannon and Kumasawa engaging in a mexican gunfight, killing each other simultaneously, while Maria hid the guns afterwards.

In arc 1, he explains Nanjo, Kumasawa and Shannon’s deaths by claiming that someone who had been previously killed could’ve faked their death and gone back to kill these three.

Unfortunately, his rebuttals become even more outlandish at this point. Now if this were any of the other arcs, DEEN would’ve done a close-up of Battler’s shocked and broken face, while another couple episodes would’ve been spent on Ange or Virgilia or whomever building his fighting spirit back up, but since this is the last episode, Battler takes it pretty much in stride. At which point Beatrice chides him for his stupidity and begins her counterattack.īeatrice decimates Battler’s 18th person X theory by declaring in red that there were only 17 people on the island to begin with.

But Battler shows off his shonen spirit by declaring that he won’t accept victory by submission, but he’ll take it from her by force. Thus, the existence of a nominal Kinzo (pretty sharp thinking, IMO)īeatrice decides to accept all of the above without much of a fight, even though it would’ve been easy to cut those blue hypotheses down, and asks Battler to end the game by denying witches. But Battler brushes it aside by claiming that there was someone who assumed his name, and was recognized by everyone in the family. Beatrice points out that the family had met Kinzo during the 4th arc, and accepted him, which results in Kinzo-zilla attacking Battler on the game board.And finally, a crazy guy with a gun mowed down the initial 6, as well as those who escaped the jail.He then proposes that it was Aunt Eva who was in cahoots with the real killer during arc 3.When questioned by Beatrice about the closed room deaths in arc 2, Battler proposes that Rosa was in cahoots with the real killer and may have swapped the key with them.Meaning an 18th person X could commit the murders. Kinzo is already dead, meaning there was only 17 people on the island to begin with.With Battler’s fighting spirit back, the second half of the episode begins with basically a rapid fire exchange of blue and red truths.
