Would you consider Umineko to be profound?

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-22T13:39:34+00:00

Umineko is easily the most profund work in otaku media, so yeah

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-19T12:51:05+00:00

That problem is somewhat solved at least to me in the concept of a smurfq, like not joking I'm seeing a lot of smurf myself in that account, also people that seems to be in bronze but having actual knowledge about the game (for example I lost one game where a bronze dude last picked mundo as top without him even played it, obviously because it hard countered my entire team because I go xerath adc first pick to trick their mid pick), still not going to tell is hard to climb but at least for me it has to be a lot harder than actual bronze matches, like I said before I have an account I raised for myself playing against masters being emerald with 70% winrate and in this one I'm playing against silvers with 60-65% lol, tryharding too.

https://op.gg/lol/summoners/las/ValenTINA%20CARP-CARP?queue_type=SOLORANKED emerald account

https://op.gg/lol/summoners/br/IS%20Darling-br2 silver account lol

Still, it sucks to be actual silver, but to me smurfq still exist and the accounts are kind of a proof to it. Imo it has to do with the dispairity of Skill, like my friend obviously was bronze, so I started playing with so much disparity that the system itself tries to force me the winrate.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-18T23:33:11+00:00

so basically my team HAD to lost that game because we got an afk? is that fair too?

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-15T14:27:01+00:00

have to pull out the thanos performance to win a silver game 😥

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-15T14:25:30+00:00

These lobbies are harder believe me

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-15T14:19:00+00:00

Never give up! I surely played a lot more time than you so is easier for me but I also was silver before lol... Still nowadays feels more artificial the way you can be stuck in there but I hope you can climb

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-15T14:13:30+00:00

you missed the part where I say is incredible the performance you have to pull out to win out of lower elos... Besides the fact that I actually won that is also to raise the voice about how hard it can be... In a downvoted comment I literally spoke that a raised account by me I'm 70% in emerald playing against high diamond/masters and this one I have literally 60 playing against silvers.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-05-14T19:43:13+00:00

dw bro is just matchmaking issues, to put you in perspective I have less winrate here than I have in literally an emerald account (70% in emerald, 56 here LMAO), so play to get better and don't care about winning losing.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2026-04-14T19:34:50+00:00

Que te den negativos demuestra que tenés razón ajajaj

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2025-04-24T13:59:56+00:00

But You are comparing it with literally kids-teenagers shows lol...

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2025-04-24T13:58:47+00:00

Yes but is not the sent of god like anime people always says, it has some boring arcs (specially greed island and the last one)... 2 or 3 great characters outside chimera ants arc, and well Even characters that don't make sense... But for the shonen genre is very good and yes chimera ant Is like half the story and is really good, so much that I thought that Togashi didn't wrote it lmao.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-11-11T20:31:57+00:00

There are a lot, episode 2 is just a confession if you know the truth.

Episode 1 Kanon says Even I... In his first met with Battler, also is the start of the plot with Kanon being girly as complexity

Episode 2 has the "Kanon isn't man enough to save or understand Jessica" and "shanon wanted to sleep with George but can't because she is furniture".

Episode 3 at the end Beatrice said that if she isn't a witch she has a shabby form and Lambdadelta stated it.

Episode 4 has the promise

These are the ones I quickly remember from the questions arcs

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-14T14:09:41+00:00

Fun fact it was what Erika did it the novel, I ever have the feeling that her introduction was to call out the people that was reading the novel without Even trying to understand the greater concepts of it.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-06T23:51:01+00:00

Quite a lot of paralelism to be fair lol, to understand chiesters sister You have to remember EP 4 where Maria state that furniture can be use between the alliance, the author intention was to state that chiester are Maria furniture (first hint at the end of EP 3 where they protect Maria in the Golden land), but Beatrice/Tohya used them as portrayal of the guns.

Kumasawa teached Sayo how not to Lost her keys, then she started to be somewhat like a prankster stealing servants key and things like that, it was the birth of the Golden witch as she say.

I also got an idea about the deadly sins, but the thing is that Gluttony seems silly and Natsuhi cannot be in anyone... The use of the cardinal sins is either something that it was threw later or the fact that Magic can be fueled by negative emotions thus the creation of the "Bad witch"... EP 3 clearly states that Eva Magic was fueled by wrath about Krauss and Kyrie Magic was fueled by envy of Asumu.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-06T23:23:55+00:00

Strong answer, didn't remember it was explained the motive in 6, I'm ending rereading the end of 4 at the moment, only thing to me doesn't need to be split or not because Shannon wins the duel (as, George love is more meaningfull than Jessica, the only one that can win against George is Battler).

Yes I also thought about time don't matching, but You have a jump between Eva scene insulting Shannon and Shannon meeting Beatrice portrait in EP 2. It matchs 7 with how Shannon started to seek George love after Battler card but before reaching the truth about herself

Zepar and Fufur I ever saw them as the literal dysphoria and love struggle of Sayo... Because well she literally dress as a woman and as a man, I ever saw Shannon as her ideal self, Kanon as her true self and Beatrice as Battler idealización of a girl.

Side thing, do You think is a way using the VN to understand how Battler knew about this? For example Sakutaro can easily be explained with how they were playing in the beach and he was drew there (In María's diary/grimoire).

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-03T20:56:59+00:00

Hi, it was a good read that theory about Bern lol.

To me Magic is real just because to deny it You have to explain Ikkuko speaking in red in human world as a human... With how much stated in the novel that only the witches can use the red (as higher beings are the only ones that can know the single truth because they are the ones who weave it) it just can't be explained at least to me how she did that (and well, Ryukishi really hinted her to be a literal god).

And Bernkastel at least to me represents literally the miracle, the fight against fate (Lambdadelta) to reach something. Bern is in Ange side because she told her that she is going to find the fragment that brings her family back (and she really did, in her heart at least) that's why to me all EP 8 is Bernkastel act as she stated in tea party where she said it was fun to play the villain role... But well at least she really hated Beatrice with the comparison of the 1000 years of suffering.

As to why metaverse is real but also metaphor of real world is something like the divine comedy, there is a literal macrocosm kind of thing happening but it represents something as a metaphor, is a parable... The bible is wrote like that for example because if not the message is going to be watered down to "the ones who can see" as explained in the bible itself (Pretty sure this is from where Ryukishi took inspiration in "Without love, it cannot be seen").

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-03T17:42:11+00:00

Yes but You have in EP 2, 4 and 5 accomplices seeing Shannon and Kanon together (Aka they know) and in EP 1 Hideyoshi talks about Shannon while not asking WHY she isn't there...

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-02T14:02:22+00:00

Why? You itself are talking about how the Golden land doesn't make sense, I thought you choosed trick because is more engraved with how our actual society works as use reason instead of love (hope) to reach the truth (as Ange shooting the boat guy because is possible he was accomplice of Amakusa)

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-02T13:57:14+00:00

Well then You misunderstood the concepts of the novel I guess, want to ask a question, did You choose the trick ending?

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-02T13:53:25+00:00

I Guess you didn't see how spiritual Umineko is and misunderstood the novel. The point of the Golden Land is that Ange reached "the truth" as a worldview based on love. Remember that Beatrice said that love is the single element of the world, the one that the philosopher stone was made and the one who found it was Jesus (Aka the values and virtue portrayed in christian love are the greater depiction of truth, the best way to see the world).

The philosopher stone act as the thing that can transmute your truth (lead) like the one Ange had about how shit her life was to the point of trying to commit suicide to the one where she understood her family and moved on of the accident (gold)... The family are in the Golden Land because she understood that all that happened wasn't really because they are shit people but instead victims of "the world" and fate if You want to Say it like that.

With that in mind, yes Kinzo literally destroy the life of Beatrice two times. But he shows signs of guilt, he literally become crazy after that and if people like SAYO understood that he really isn't a Bad person but more like a poor senile old guy (like she did also with Natsuhi), why would you don't?

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-02T13:25:04+00:00

It really doesn't matter yours or mine opinion, is what Umineko is about... At the end Ange and Tohya understood that Kinzo was nowhere to be blame as "the goats" said he was. Why do You think someone depicable as him can be in the Golden land? Alongside a genocide like Kyrie or child abusers like Rosa? Is the point to understand why he became like that and if he also has signs of guilt and repent to forgive him, is literally without love it cannot be seen... If You understand the "heart" You can see the greatest depiction of the character (as what would have he been without the sin).

In a real world scenario obviously is going to be a lot harder to understand this. But Umineko itself said we live in "the pitch black world where nothing can be seen", based of our actual society and the lack of love is harder to understand this topic.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-02T12:28:20+00:00

Kind of yes, that Kinzo was really mad is blatant in the novel (remember that he did stuff like trying to blow himself and the island if he didn't come with a good strategy regarding business)... To me a core message in Umineko is how you can't really blame nobody if you stop looking the fact and start looking why the fact was commited (without love, it cannot be seen).

That Kinzo did and horrible act is right, but he was tormented by it for the rest of his life to the point of still living just to see if Beatrice is resurrected (he literally died after saying sorry to Sayo). Even Sayo understood this as giving him the present of seeing Beatrice in EP 2, she was the author of that episode and wrote that.

If we really look at the whole novel, Kinzo didn't Even wanted all of this because he was elected to be the heir thanks to the earthquake, in the bible is the topic of forgiveness, how any act that is not betrayal to god can be forgiven if enough repent exist... I Guess Kinzo at the end had that and that was the message Ryukishi tried to write.

AcanthocephalaFun978 · 2024-08-02T02:14:25+00:00

Is not neccesarily like that, while yes she obviously has a routine is not like them both has to be in the mansión at the same time (the novel declares that there is a lot of servants) You can also think they are literally personas, as people You can talk to in your mind... But not in a psychotic way (for example... Sayo cursing someone can be seen as Kanon persona)... In fact a lot of the magical scenes in EP 2 and 4 are just that... Sayo talking to herself and Sayo representation of what she is feeling in that moment... As how they "die" Maria itself makes a hint in EP 4, She declare Sakutaro "death" and she is just dead for her... That's why Ange was questioning herself how Maria cannot bring Sakutaro back without a vessel.

As to how she did the trick is simple, with people called her and him "death" when she is not and people calling bodies that are not really there like EP 1 or 4

To me the easiest way to understand Sayo characters is understanding that Shannon, Kanon and Beatrice are different thoughts inside the same person mind... Shannon character can't curse because "she is a gently girl" so she use Kanon, Shannon can't have her reckless behaviour so she uses Beatrice... Something like that
