prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 5 Final Scene: The Revised Truth

<< | ^^ | >>

BGM: Discolor

Everybody silently urges Erika to continue. She lays down some items she confiscated earlier. Via destroying locks, using her authority as a detective.

Natsuhi ended up married to Krauss under unusual circumstances.

Kumasawa testifies - only she and Nanjo know the details of Natsuhi's situation. Her family was one of Kinzo's enemies.

Natsuhi was claimed by the Ushiromiya family as a trophy of war.

This is also consistent with Erika's investigation. However, why don't we look at page 47 of the diary?

Natsuhi claims that she later came to understand and appreciate his feelings, but that doesn't appear anywhere in her diary.

Love is meaningless, except as a motive for murder.

The detective's investigation has concluded that Natsuhi hated both her husband and the family. Therefore, this is the truth.

Natsuhi claims that the words written in her diary were written to leave those feelings behind. Erika claims that they were here true, hidden feelings to this day.

Erika already concluded that Natsuhi is a murderer, so that's the truth of this board. The truth of the past is overwritten with the new truth from the present.

Erika's going somewhere with this. Natsuhi can possibly not be the culprit, actually. If she isn't the one who did it, there's one other person who could have.

BGM: Bread of Life

Thanks to Battler's detecting earlier, it's possible for Kinzo to be alive.

Natsuhi earned Kinzo's trust, right? So if he's a murderer, wouldn't she know about it?

All Natsuhi has to do is sacrifice Kinzo, and she can survive.

She can carry on by throwing away the honor of the Ushiromiya family.

This is the last way she can protect the family's honor - by sacrificing herself to protect Kinzo.

Truths of the past are overwritten by the truths of the future.

For Erika to accept that, though, Natsuhi must provide Kinzo's alibi: In other words, she must confirm his death.

This is all because of Erika's grudge. If Natsuhi admits that Kinzo is dead, then her defeat in the study will be erased.

So, you still claim that Kinzo is alive and remains somewhere on this island?

That's correct! Father is in good health! No matter what anyone says, I will not change my statement!

The red truth from the previous games says that Kinzo is already dead. But that's not enough to satisfy you, right, Bern?

Yeah, that's right. I'm after a perfect victory. There's nothing interesting about getting a checkmate just because Kinzo's death has been confirmed by the red. I want to win by forcing Natsuhi to say that she's resigned. Hehehehehe!

Then why don't you try it? Show us what you've got.

My master, let us now achieve a perfect victory!

Of course. Natsuhi, you say that Kinzo is certainly alive, but you don't know where he is, correct?

Yes, that's right! Father left through the window and his location is unknown! He is so troublesome sometimes!

Well, that's true... he was a corpse, after all... no, I'm sorry. That's right, totally right. I won't butt in. It sounds interesting, so keep going.

From now on, I'll use the word Kinzo to refer to 'the living Kinzo'. After all, Natsuhi claims that he's alive. I'll say more with the red truth. Kinzo does not exist anywhere outside the mansion. Isn't that right, Erika?

Y-Yes, my master! I searched for Kinzo all over the premises outside the mansion! However, I was unable to find him!

H-How could I know? After all, think of the weather. There would be nothing strange about him leaving the courtyard to hide somewhere in the mansion and dry the rain off!

Pfft. From this point forwards, I will repeat the same thing several times. I'll give you many chances for an honorable surrender. If you're too stubborn, you'll lose even your true honor.

N... No matter how you threaten me, I will not give in!

I just love teasing pieces like you. Then, let us continue.

No sign of Kinzo was found on the third floor.

Where is he? Natsuhi claims ignorance.

That just leaves the first and second floors. Natsuhi claims ignorance.

Erika searched the first floor, so that's just one floor left. Natsuhi claims ignorance.

I accept that red truth. Natsuhi. Kinzo should be somewhere on the second floor. Will you still not tell us where he's hiding?

N-No matter how many times you ask, it won't change the fact that I don't know!

Erika. Start investigating the entire second floor. Use the detective's authority to avoid missing a single clue and to see through all types of hidden doors and hidden rooms!

Yes, my master! That Natsuhi's pretty dumb, isn't she? She still can't see where we're going with this.

No need to talk more than is nececssary. Come on, Erika. Take everyone with you and begin the investigation!

BGM: Smile-less Soiree

Natsuhi claims ignorance.

Kinzo is dead, but Natsuhi claims ignorance.

According to Hempel's Raven, this will mean that, if Kinzo exists, he's in that room.

And that room is...

In other words, Kinzo had no place to hide except inside Natsuhi's room. Do I need to say it in red?

Of course!

Kinzo does not exist anywhere outside Natsuhi's room!

Kinzo doesn't exist outside of this room. If Kinzo doesn't exist inside this room, he doesn't exist at all. If she determines that much, it's game over.

But Erika doesn't make that claim. Not yet. Instead, she's been searching for any signs that Kinzo ever escaped that room.

It means the checkmate of red truth has finally cornered the piece known as Kinzo's phantom inside Natsuhi's room.

Hey, Natsuhi. This means you were with Kinzo in this room until morning. Do you still claim you didn't know where he was?

I'll acknowledge it with the red truth! During the night, between midnight and morning, a living Kinzo could not have existed anywhere outside Natsuhi's room! I permit you to use this truth to advance your argument about how he could only have existed in Natsuhi's room.

A plea bargain. Hey, Natsuhi. Even someone as stupid as you must have realized the fix you're in now. This is your last chance. Make Kinzo the culprit. Call the Ushiromiya family head a criminal and crush the head's honor to protect yourself. If you show that you have the guts to do that, I'll change the plot into one of a tragic heroine taking the blame to protect the family head.

Father is innocent! I cannot call father a criminal!

She's refused the deal! Ehehehehe, okay, Bern. Do it!

BGM: Kuina

At 11:00 PM, Kinzo escapes from the study, and sneaks into Natsuhi's bed.

Erika's investigation has proven that Natsuhi was sleeping in that bed.

T-T-To think that I would... d-do such a thing... with the father I respected so much... I won't allow you to say such things!

Natsuhi. Use the red truth to counter this blue truth. Of course, since you aren't a witch, there's no red that you can use. I'll speak with the red truth in your place. At least, I will if you can show me convincing proof!

Natsuhi tries to physically assault Erika, but Eva holds her back.

Testimony from several witnesses confirms Natsuhi having secret meetings with Kinzo.

Hey, Natsuhi. Looks like you don't even have a scrap of honor left now. I'll give you one, final chance before I build you the worst of all possible Fragments. Could you try saying Kinzo wasn't there?

That's right, you sure are stubborn, Natsuhi. The Ushiromiya family has already been torn to ribbons, right? Are you really that desperate to confuse the inheritance problem by pretending Kinzo exists?

This is my final challenge... in protecting the honor of the Ushiromiya family, which father entrusted me with...! My husband's business will definitely... definitely succeed! Until we can use that to repay our debts, I cannot hand over the inheritance of the Ushiromiya family! I will protect father and my husband's honor! That is... my mission!

Wanting to protect the honor of the dead is an admirable trait.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

BGM: Spiral

The following outlines the details of the crime.

Afterwards, she went to the so-called 'cousin room' on the second floor of the guest house, waited for Rosa to join the rest, and killed George, Jessica, Maria and Rosa.

She damaged the necks of those corpses.

The people in the lounge dispersed just after 3:00 AM. Natsuhi left the empty room and escaped from the guest house.

From the time the others became aware of the incident to the time that they carried Hideyoshi's corpse out, Natsuhi once again concealed herself in the closet. Furthermore, as proof of this, a button from Natsuhi's clothes was found in the closet.

Natsuhi resigns.

Maybe Kinzo believed Natsuhi to be the reincarnation of Beatrice.

The revenge of the man from 19 years ago is complete.

Of course, the man from 19 years ago doesn't exist. There's nobody here but the people in this room.

Natsuhi tells her story. The baby she was tasked with raising 19 years ago. The pain and humiliation she endured.

The deal she made with the Golden Witch.

The servant and the baby both fell to the rocks below.

But it was no dream.

All of this really did happen. Their corpses were found. The story of the baby was covered up, and the servant was made to have died in an accident.

But she never apologized to the baby.

Is the man from 19 years ago watching?

Is he satisfied with his revenge?

Did Battler just say something?
