* WhatAnIdiot: In [=EP6=] [[spoiler:Battler gave Erika duct tape. And it's three rooms' worth. When in the previous game, the duct tape she used allowed her to use the red truth.]]
** After [[FridgeBrilliance [=EP7=]]], [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation with a certain interpretation]], one could argue that most of Battler's behavior in [=EP6=] is [[spoiler:him betting on a miracle so that Beato regains her memories. Battler acts as an obvious comparison to Kinzo, chick!Beatrice is quite like Beatrice II, the love duel acts as a metaphor of "Yasu's" internal conflict, etc.]]
** Krauss. Oh, Krauss. The true extent of his idiocy is revealed in [=EP5=]. He's quite possibly the stupidest character in Umineko. The poor idiot would have been penniless on the street some five or six years ago if Natsuhi weren't hypercompetent to the point of neurosis.
*** WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: A too good to be true Space Resort deal from some guy claiming to be from NASA! [[TemptingFate What could go wrong?]] Granted, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tourism recent events]] may in fact be indicating that, as Rudolf mentioned, his timing was simply a bit off. As in, 30 years off.
* TheWoobie: Oh god, ''Natsuhi''. [[spoiler: '''Especially''' after [=EP5=].]]
** To verify, [[spoiler:she starts to lose her sanity after Kinzo dies, is forced to confront a less than pleasant aspect of her past (one that she's already repented for), Jessica is murdered, Krauss is kidnapped, forcing her to obey the mysterious man claiming to be her son. Not only does Krauss die anyway, but she is framed for all the murders, and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge gets beaten up by a very pissed off Eva]] and Battler is the only one who even ''tries'' to intervene.]]
*** ItGotWorse. [[spoiler: She gets accused of ''cheating on her husband and having a sexual relationship with Kinzo''. Then Bernkastel brutally tells her in her that everything that's been basically keeping her sane until that moment... was all a delusion on her part. They basically make her life hell in that arc. And even that's an {{Understatement}}.]]
* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Maria, so very much so in [=EP4=]. Not just her repeated slaughter of her own mother, but her diary suggested Maria was getting increasingly more and more destructive with her abilities.]]
