WHO IS COMMITTING THE MURDERS

  • It CANNOT BE BATTLER, because he is the "detective".
    • "Who am I Battler?"
      • Main character or 19th person, primary question.
  • I stand by Rudolf being a creepy little **** and my primary lead. I think he did something.
    • Wants money (Like everyone else.)
    • Blames his father for Asumu's death? Lack of money for the hospital?
    • Probably kind of hates Battler for leaving in the first place.
    • I'm honestly just extremely biased, Rudolf freaks me out and is super shady.
  • Gohda?
    • Very poor if it weren't for his work (like all the staff).
    • Certainly very new to the island.
      • Out of all the staff members, likely has the most contacts outside of the island.
        • Probably has a lot of friends with ambitions, did a lot in rich industries before coming to the island!
    • Really only loyal to Natsuhi.
      • She saved him.
    • He's also a really huge guy, he probably could lift people pretty easily.
  • Natsuhi?
    • Gohda and Krauss as an accomplice, maybe Jessica.
    • Has been shown to not fit in with the family.
      • Likely very angry about her low status and inability to wear the One-Winged Eagle.
        • Doesn't have another family anymore. Could benefit a lot from stealing and running off to start a new life.
    • Really, really effed up.
      • Gets physical headaches because she's so stressed.
        • No evidence of hearing voices or other psychotic symptoms.
  • Krauss
    • REALLY wants money and has been shown to have a lot riding on it.
      • This is true of all the siblings, but Krauss is also the heir.
  • Jessica?
    • Really doesn't gain anything honestly (at least not as of Chapter 3 of the VN.)
      • This could change.
    • The most driven to physical action of the cousins.
      • Or any character who isn't Beatrice actually.
        • Except Kanon!
  • Kyrie is also sketchy af.
    • No one feels that much jealousy and stays that composed for eighteen years - NO ONE!
    • Probably has serious damage.
      • Killed a Sister of Purgatory like it was nothing.
        • It was supposed to be badass but I got bad vibes, that isn't normal, that chick was a demon.
  • Beatrice is using magic to commit the murders and it's just that simple, she's just screwing with everyone for kicks.
    • Probably not this one, it's too boring.
  • Has Maria done anything before?
    • Like she's eight so she is likely only ever an accomplice but it's POSSIBLE, if she thought she was serving Beatrice.
      • This was brought up briefly in canon.
  • Rosa: an accomplice or Beatrice?
      • Very possibly Beatrice, she IS more than one "Witch" in her daughter's mind!
        • Though she WAS tortured by Beatrice in Chapter 2's "Tea Party"
          • "Battle from within"?
            • Similar to Eva!Beatrice being an internal manifestation of Eva's psyche?
  • Asumu is alive :P (I'm kidding)
  • Kinzo's mistress?
    • Love child of mistress?
    • Very possible, considering the other mansion on the island.
      • Unless the other mansion is unfinished for some reason and therefore uninhabitable by anyone but psychic imprints.
  • Kinzo's ex-wife?
    • Still jealous about the idea of a mistress?
    • Never got any gold from the marriage?
    • Insane from the isolation, similar to the Island Beatrice?
      • Can't actually be Island Beatrice or Rosa would have recognized her.
    • Faked her death? (VERY possible, this family is insane.)
  • Shannon or Kanon?
    • Honestly putting them out there because it's not Genji or Kumasawa I mean GET REAL.
    • Shannon's interest in George and Kanon's interest in Jessica could have some social climbing shades.
      • Though canonically, this is unlikely.
    • I doubt Shannon's involvement.
      • Kanon, like Gohda, is newer to the island.
        • Likely has ties to people off the island, similar to Gouda and the rest of the family.
          • Shannon has been there since she was a kid, she probably doesn't have a heck of a lot of friends or ambitions, or friends WITH ambitions.
  • Everything could just be Lamba and Bern effing with Beatrice honestly.
    • Especially Bern. She's a nutcase.
  • Kinzo?
    • He might have just gone insane and started killing to fulfill the prophecy.
  • Virgilia?
    • She's honestly too nice.
    • Would have that demon guy as her accomplice.
    • What would she gain? Her title back?
  • It is NOT EVA.
    • Her reaction to being a Witch in the anime was too intense, she became SO ill when her other half was hurting others to EVER cause so much damage.
    • May not be the same in the VN but we'll see.
      • I defend my wife.
    • Not George.
    • Not her husband either, he's a sweetheart.
  • Nanjo?
    • He DID copy down the epitaph one time.
    • Close to Kinzo.
      • Trying to get closer as the years pass?
    • Dude's a doctor, he could kill people very easily.
      • Brought up in canon.
        • His build is awful though, he'd need help.
          • Other staff members?
  • Could even be some random who's connected to the Yakuza like that dude that was with Ange or whatever but it's unlikely.
