*spoilers* Umineko Episode 6 - Thoughts so far

"Without love, it cannot be seen."

I've been currently playing Umineko no naku koro ni episode 6 for the past few days. It's a visual novel arguing over whether the murder mystery was performed by humans or by magic.

Pics I've taken of random scenes:





It's been a trollfest so far, more than any of the other episodes (except maybe episode 3, NOTHING will be able to top that).

We start off with Battler becoming master of the game board and taking Beatrice's role (basically, he's on the magic side now, not on the human's side). He is fighting against Bernkastel and her chess piece Erika and making everything seem as if it was done by magic.

From what I've read so far, it's mostly been about the love between Jessica x Kanon, Shanon x George, and Beatrice x Battler. That constituted a rather large chunk of the game with them fighting against each other in a demon's game because only 1 of these groups is allowed to earn true love (because furniture is only half a soul and only 2 full souls can love each other or some shit, I don't know).

The rest of the game seems to be about Erika trolling the fuck out of Battler by saying how she chopped all of his family's heads off while they were still alive and then trying to marry him and saying she's going to defile him. Erika is truly one of pure evil, far more than anyone else in Umineko so far. She only has 1 scene where she feels anything about anyone that isn't how to intellectually rape them. o_O

I'm still reading through the rest of the story so I don't have a full opinion of it yet. Will post a 2nd opinion once I finish it entirely.
