BERNKASTEL's Letter

The immediate thing that stands out here is who the letter is meant for, when you think of Bern's beloved friend the only person I can think of would be Lambda but... that's the one person it can't be due to the content of the letters. I don't think she would describe Featherine as her friend, either...

....but the description here makes it hard to think of it as anyone BUT Featherine. Also talking about Beatrice as if she is stronger than them is interesting, too, since later parts of the story make it obvious the voyager witches are on a higher level than her, but this was released with ep3 so, so both the audience's and Bern's knowledge is limited.

Bernkastel identifies rule X, which in Higurashi was Himamizawa Syndrome, obviously, that isn't in Umineko but I think we can take that to mean Bernkastel realized the rotating cast of accomplices in each tale.

Rule Y in Higurashi was Takano/Tomitake's death, but in this case, I think it can mean that everyone dies at the end ie the bomb, the fact that she mentions that Lambdadelta touched it but didn't reach it, it is probably referring to Emergency Manual 34. Emergency Manual left a bunch of people who did know the answer while the bomb leaves none, so you can certainly say that it is stronger than it.

Bernkastel has no fucking clue what Rule Z is, though, which certainly puts a hamper on this approach to solving Umineko haha.

The maze having an indefinite, ever-changing shape is a good description of the catbox, though, so I guess she got that the goal she wanted to be reached is a lot fuzzier than the goal Takano had for Higurashi.

Bern has understood that Beatrice is only a witch because of the catbox, though. Bernkastel's feelings on Featherine are a lot more mixed than she would admit to her face, it seems.

This letter gives a pretty strong hint about the roulette accomplices and some early hints at the bomb, as well as set up for future characters... weird that it is locked to post-game in this version though. Also makes it a bit more clear how much Bernkastel knew at the time, it's a little hard to gauge in just the episodes how much the witches know.

The above poem is some interesting early theming that I think can help hint at Battler's promise, especially if coupled with Shannon's words later.

This poem feels kinda Erika coded, haha.

I’m kinda curious, because you post a few of them. What are your favorite DRV3 pairings? (Also if you want to throw your favorite Umineko pairings in there too that’d be cool.)

As it stands now? Well, I’d say the ask I answered here is still pretty accurate - Saimota and Oumota, Kaemugi, etc being some of the bigs ones with others listed there as well. There are a few characters I still don’t know that well (ex Tenko, Rantaro, Ryoma) too who I can definitely see that changing for, but for the most part I basically want to give both Kaito and Kaede a harem lmao -

Shuichi doesn’t need help he already has super protagonist powers and the Skeleton Key of Love

oh man Umi ships though… there’s a lot. 8′D fan favourites like BatoBeato and Lambda x Bern of course - apparently my favourite girl ships are all extrovert blonde x reserved blue hair?? - parent ships, Ange x Mammon, Will x Lion and Erika x Dlanor. As far as ‘out there’ ships go, Battler x Kanon was my first ship going into the series and I’ll stand by it damnit, also Battler x Ronove is hilarious and Lion X Beatrice is true end game material for when both Battler and Will are far too incompetent/rude, respectively ~

I’ve been going through a few character tags, looking to find some less popular stuff.

A rare Ange/Beato!!

Beautiful Gertrude/Chiester 00 log + one Lambda/Gertrude pic

The Gertrude/Chiester 00 ship actually has a pixiv tag, with two artists posting in it! It took me a bit by surprise since I don’t remember if they have any particular interaction in the VN but it’s always nice to see dedicated rareshippers having fun making content for their favorites!
