Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Can somebody please explain to me why this all-powerfull witch suddenly grovels before a mortal bitchboy?
At what point this went from a mind game of cat and mouse to the "oh no, he bitch-slapped me, and suddenly I'm no longer a sadist and have feelings, please, boy whose lips are still wet from the breastmilk of his mother, don't be mad at me, it was just a prank, I want you to like me, please like me, please! T^T"?
>she already had feelings, dumbass, Shanon proved it multiple times
Not like this. It was obvious she is more human than she chooses to acknowledge, sure, but what I'm asking is why she suddenly acts like a crack-whore, who is frequently beaten up by her pimp?

read to the end
or at least complete ep3

Finish the arc. And obviously, don't watch the shitty anime.

Because there are no witches, it's all Battler coping with his head trauma.

>implying magic is real

haha look at that dork

Finish the arc and you'll see why

Because nothing is real in Umineko. Even what we're supposed to take as real hints that it may also not be real due to its involvement with what's not real. It's all just a bunch of people coping with magic. Also finish the novels.

>It's all just a bunch of people coping with mental illness and brain damage
Fixed that for you.

embarrassing post

>Can somebody please explain to me why this all-powerfull witch
Stopped reading there.
Magic isn't real.

>Zig Forumsnon
>is without love

Checks itself out.

I get the concept that magic is real only if you believe it be real, but what I don't get is the sudden change in attitude of Beatrice.

Finish the novels then. Get the full picture.

Bros how come I don't understand blank before I finish reading blank

By the way Moe Beato > Any other Beato

Because at that point in the story you have no fucking idea about what's actually happening or what the story is actually about.

>All these "The magic wasn't real" posts
So all of Higurashi wasn't real as well? I get that everything being a fever dream from a rich girl is a fun concept but the manga gave you enough reasons to also believe magic happened.

>Inb4
>Not the same series
They were the same witches.

>fever dream from a rich girl
More like a fever dream of a man who suffered massive brain damage while escaping from an island.

The heart of a witch will always long for a human's acknowledgment, the moment they stop seeking that they become something that is alienated from humanity as a whole and disappear into the ocean of fragments.
Basically, witches are people that suffered a lot and want help from other people, they are not that good at asking it.

>I'm not even 1/4 into the story and I don't know what's happening, woe is me, if only there was something I could do to learn more, perhaps using that same story

>They were the same witches

Is there a summary of what actually happened? I read the first 4 ep years ago, and I am curious but cannot be bothered to read through dozens and dozens of hours worth of content.

Okay faggot
Real spoilers
SHES FUCKING LYING

Read the Confession of the Golden Witch chapters of the EP8 manga if you want the truth behind the culprit. EP7 explains the murders in the first 4 arcs and what really happened, and the finale of the EP8 manga continues from where EP7 leaves off regarding that.

>It has been stated in an interview with the author that she[Bernkastel] is the personality of the 100-year-old witch Rika separated herself from in Saikoroshi-hen and is the crystallization of only the cruelest parts left over from the 100-year-old witch.

Manga, ep7 chapters 37-38 and ep8 24.1-.4

Kinzo was a soldier in an island full of explosives durin WWII. He lucked out when an Italian submarine full of gold and an Italian hottie reached the island. He killed everyone and kept the gold, the girl, and the island. Beatrice I dies giving birth, her daughter grows up to become Beatrice 2.0 and Kinzo rapes her and impregnates her (after giving birth she died when Rosa tried to get her out.). He gives the baby to Natsuhi who pushes a servant holding him off a cliff because she considered it insulting.
Genji and Nanjo save the baby, but he has to be made into a eunuch to dave him. He (now she because he must be raised female) is named Sayo Yasuda and sent to Fukuin orphanage. She's later sent to Rokkenjima as a maid where she becomes Shanon.

Magic is flat out real.

And finish the chapter, seriously.

>He killed everyone
the italians and japanese killed each other over the gold, Kinzo was just the sole survivor.

I know, I know, I'm just oversimplifying.

She develops a bunch of imaginary friends (including "Beatrice", the ghost of the island) because she's lonely and bullied, and has a crush on Battler. She gets blue after Battler leaves the family so she creates a second persona named Kanon. With help from Genji and Kumasawa, she convinces everyone else that Kanon is real.

What, are you saying Meta-Battler just have beat Beatrice's ass black and blue instead of playing her game?

> She

user i...

>she creates a second persona named Kanon. With help from Genji and Kumasawa, she convinces everyone else that Kanon is real
I will never get over how stupid this is.

Her life is turned upside down when she solves the riddle and discovers the gold. Genji ells her the whole truth, that she's Kinzo's child born from incestuous rape, and that she's a eunuch so she can't conceive or even have sex like a normal person. She's even made to dress as Beatrice so that Kinzo can have a peaceful death.
After that, she becomes the family's true master, but keeps it a secret.

I'm saying it's not real to avoid spoiling too much, as it's what's presented in the first half and I like for people to read the complete series. Besides, Magic in When They Cry just doesn't exactly work the way "magic" is expected to be in the Umineko question arcs and its effect on the reality of Battler and his family is complicated. If anything, the great library is probably the most real thing in the magical WTC universe (multiverse? metaverse?), as it is able to ignore time and space, but everything does really exist in some way. Even if it was all a dream if viewed within the confines of a reality, there is a clear connection and interaction with the overall magical meta-reality their reality is inside of.

When 1986 rolls along, her depression advanced to the point where she decided to kill herself, but when she discovered Battler was coming back, she decided to instead go out with a bang. She formulated a complex plan to create a murder mistery on the island for Battler to solve (since that's what they both liked back when they were kids). She wrote a bunch of stories and threw them into the sea inside bottles. Her plan was to use the explosives in the island to blow everything up. If no traces are left, then no one can prove that what's written in the stories happened or not. The "gameboards" in every EP are those stories (and others written as forgeries by amateur writers because the whole thing became a cultural phenomenon).

Does Umineko justify itself being longer than War and Peace, In Search of Lost Time and The Brothers Karamazov combined?

Magic is physics by willpower

It's not that bad. Kanon and Shanon almost never work at the island and the same time, and Genji is so well-trusted that the Ushiromiyas wouldn't doubt him if he claims to have interacted separately with Shanon and Kanon.

I'd say yes.
