If there was going to be illegitimate red text why would they even have red text? Plus they've proven repeatedly that you physically cannot tell a falsehood in red, even if you don't know it's a falsehoood

That song was pretty much the only good thing the anime gave us :( but man is it a great thing

I can think of precisely one thing for which the anime gives a hint that didn't exist in the original VN.

I can think of at least one time the anime blatantly showed a contradiction as fact :mad: I won't mention it here for obvious reasons, but I had a good idea that was 'proven' wrong by the anime, and it ended up being a pretty drat important piece of the puzzle.

I would have figured it out if it weren't for Deen I swear :argh:

Why are you all arguing this? A witch did it. Beatrice commit all the murders

It's so simple, a witch did it, the Ushiromiya family is innocent

Please, the witch did it, how is it not obvious by now

Don't make me laugh, you pathetic child. Not only do vocal songs exist in the original game, so too do voice clips of Commander Data and the Borg Queen!

Oh my god I never realized that's where those clips were from :magical:

Is it against Knox's Decalogue to kill the detective?

I'm just saying I'd pick Erika over anyone else if I HAD to

A good point. He never seemed to warm up to the kids he had via his "official wife", though.

Imagine reclaiming your prestigious family name and a bunch of fascist Italian gold, then realizing your heir is Krauss. I'd wind up being crabby too.

I can't help but feel the tiniest bit of pity for Kinzo. The dude built his hell with his own hands, all the power and money in the world but the one thing he wants is Biche back. :smith: His actions are unforgivable but at least it was out of madness and sorrow, not malice.

Who could have suspected, it was Beatrice all along, no one's guilty of anything it was just a cruel witch :smith: just a cruel witch. Let's all just acknowledge Beatrice, and then it's over.

I know right? This entire time it was just Beatrice that did all the murders, crazy how this turned out. But hey let's all acknowledge Beatrice! Then we can all revive and go to the golden land! No one is guilty! :buddy:

I got into the series when the anime was announced, so either just before or just after End of the Golden Witch. Even then, there were so many people arguing that the mystery wasn't solvable, and there was no point in trying to figure it out. I imagine that's the goat he's ripping on with this scene, someone going "This mystery is bullshit and impossible so I won't bother" rather than "This is a bit above my paygrade, I'll leave it to the detectives and just enjoy the ride" :v:

I got the impression that throwing out wild and improbable theories was preferable than not trying at all.

What I'm saying is Chimpatrice is good and honorable.

Chimpatrice was still a better theory than Battler's small bombs :v: Wild and improbable theories are fair game
