About the recent Captain Obvious Reveal entry: I don't believe it's entirely applicable. Yeah, some people might figure it out that early. But most people don't, I don't think enough people figure it out that it's a captain obvious thing. It does bring up those things as possibilities, but Umineko brings up a lot of possibilities for what's happening, and I think it's in the nature of mystery stories to doubt any possibilities given directly to the reader in the text, because that would be seen as giving away the game. Umineko does mention the truth as a possibility, but it also throws it out there along with a lot of fake possibilities.

Okay, I feel like this doesn't apply for the series as, while there are a couple of Deus Ex Machina (like the golden truth), there aren't enough to really count as this and if so it needs to be rewritten (feels more like an attack than something more specific). While certain parts of the series might seem strange at certain points I feel like most of them is understandable and rather clear when you understand Beatrice/Yasu and how the series work and so not a case of this.

So what do everyone else think? Keep, rewrite or remove?

Under the What An Idiot trope, the alternative character interpretation is actually canonical. The next tea party shows that Battler not only was gambling to get Beato's memory back, but also that he had a solution to the logic error in the first place (http://youtu.be/Zlyqr5nbw74).

But I don't know how to alter that paragraph without erasing the talk about symbolism. Can someone do that for me?
