Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 2

Sunday, August 16, 2009
Summary:

Starting from when we last left off~

Episode I-II - First move.

All the family members are at the dinner table fretting over who exactly gave Maria the white umbrella when Maria tells them that it was in fact Beatrice, of course everyone else doesn’t take her answer seriously.

At dessert time, Maria takes out a letter that ‘Beatrice’ gave her, sealed with wax and Kinzou’s ring emblem.

Remember who he gave the ring to?

Maria does her psycho look (have I mentioned that I HATE this girl?) and reads the letter, wich says that Beatrice is the Ushiromiya’s alchemic advisor and that Kinzou has terminated their contract and in such she is to get her gold back and all that the Ushiromiya’s posses as interest.

Kinzou added a special clause in order to give his family a chance to keep all their wealth and honor, the special clause of course is to find the gold. (which location is hinted on the epitaph under Beatrice’s painting)

The special clause also includes that if anyone finds the gold, all that was collected will be returned as well, and by anyone it means the servants are included.

Since the ring is in Beatrice’s possession, this means that the Ushiromiya’s inheritance has been passed down to another person.

All Kinzou’s children are very upset by this and go this door and demand an explanation (for this bullsh*t!) meanwhile Kinzou is (laughing his head off) wondering who will be able to win this game whilst doing his evil grin.

After dinner, Battler and his mom discus whether Beatrice is in fact real or that maybe one of the 18 in the house just making them believe there’s one more person out there. They reach the conclusion that it must be one of them (by applying the “turn around the chessboard” way of thinking, aka. “Put yourself in your enemy’s place”) since

if the 19th person does exist why did “she” go trough the trouble of secretly handing a letter to Maria? A person that doesn’t want to be seen doesn’t need to prove that they do exist.

While discussing this, Battler’s father tells his wife that the conference will start and that it will probably last the whole night, he also wants to tell Battler something if he’s awake when the conference ends. When Battler tells him that this is not like him, he tells him he fears he will be killed this night. Meanwhile, Krauss shows Natsuhi one of Beatrice’s gold bars, proving that they do exist.

Oooh shiny!

Jessica finds her mother in a hallway suffering from a headache and gives her the charm Maria gave her, Natsuhi thanks her.

Outside, the younger members of the family are going to the guest house when George invites Shanon to a play cards with them. (Jessica says: Bring Kanon too! :D)

Shanon goes to the servant room to ask Kanon but he tells her that Krauss has changed the work schedule and that he and Shanon are to patrol the guest house in the midnight shift while Gohda patrols the mansion and Kumasawa and Genji spend the night at the guest house. When Shanon tells Kanon that the kids want to play with them he tells her that inviting “furniture” to play unnecessary.


Kanon says: No playtime for chairs and tables!

It turns out that Shanon and George are in love with each other so much so that when outside at the rose garden, George orders Shanon to take the ring that he is giving her (since Shanon says she couldn’t possibly accept it –since she’s nothing but a chair after all XD-) and tells her that the next day he will be expecting her answer but that wasn’t an order, all that she needs to do is place the ring in any finger she wants.

Shanon is patrolling the guest house when a golden butterfly passes by behind her.

Muahahahahaha


The next day, Kanon and Genji go to the kitchen only to find out that Gohda hasn’t gotten there yet and that the phone line is dead. Genji goes to inform Natsuhi about this and wakes her up and makes her aware that breakfast is not ready yet……and of the strange marking on her door.

But where is my damn breakfast?!

Natsuhi asks Kanon if he has found Gohda but he tells her that not only is Gohda still missing but, now they can’t find her husband (Krauss), Rose, Ruddolf and Shanon. Eva suggests Natsuhi to check Kinzou’s study and Genji gives her a key because it would be difficult to speak to Kinzou trough the door.

She enters his study and finds him staring outside his window, they have a conversation on whether Natsuhi longs for her family or his husband’s family to which she answers that she is Natsuhi Ushiromiya and the only family she longs for is the Ushiromiya family, Kinzou mumbles that if Krauss had been a woman and she a man…but doesn’t say the rest …Natsuhi tells him that she will protect the Ushiromiya’s honor without fail, Kinzou tells her that the one winged eagle is engraved in her heart and that she truly his daughter even when not connected by blood.

Once she ends her conversation and goes into the hallway, she meets Eva and Genji who tells her that there is something strange with the shed and that it’s locked. When they get there, there is a weird symbol drawn on the shed.

Eeeeerie

Back in the guest house, the kids are playing cards (don't they have Monopoly or something??? D:) when Genji suddenly comes in and asks Dr. Nanjo to go with him to the shed, the kids follow them and Maria stays at the room because she wants to watch TV.

She’s watching Higurashi No Naku Koro ni! XD

They get there only to see a horrible scene…

They should have just stayed and watched TV with Maria. :/

Rudolf, Kyrie, Rosa, Gohda and Krauss have been killed.

It seems all of them have been dead for 6 hours and that the culprit disfigured their faces after killing them.

George asks if there are only five people there, his father tells him that there are six people…

Damn it! D:<

Impression:

Holey moley! I did not expect so many deaths in one episode, let alone episode # 2!!

Maria Maria Maria, I hate her weird creepy looks and her annoying voice....uugh I'm biased, I don't like little kid voices like that.

Watching this episode bored me until the deaths to tell ya the truth, mostly because I felt it was only repetaing what we already knew from episode one, that there is a with that gave Kinzou gold bars and they had to find it according to the leyend. We at least know now what exactly will happen when they do find the golden bars, that is, if they start like NAO!

Anyways, next episode should clear some things up...or maybe not...yeah, I'm leaning towards the later. >_>
