Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Episode 10

Episode 10: Accept

My head always hurts after watching this one, but hey..this keeps me from watching Umineko!

Confirmed facts of the episode:

• * The keys for the employee room are all within the key cabinet in the employee room.
• There is no way in or out besides the sole door and the sole window.
• Both were locked.
• No one can go through the door or window when they are locked.
• The door cannot be unlocked without either the key in the employee room or one of the master keys.
• There are only five master keys.
  

Rosa's paranoia
Rosa still doesn't believe that the servants are innocent and keeps on insisting that this is a game of charade. She thinks that the supposed to be dead people are just somewhere hiding somewhere inside the mansion. This would mean that the other servants would be in on it, so Rosa threatens them with her gun to the alarm of the others. To somehow calm her suspicions, Genji offers the master keys of all the servants to Rosa, and she puts all of them, including the two that were included in the envelope, into Maria’s handbag. Btw..Maria's handbag is pink. I love it. Hahahaha.

Accept

The title of the episode says it all. I guess the highlight of episode 10 is the fact that Battler has already gave up and decided to accept the presence of Beatrice is true. Even meta-Battler is having a hard time to prove the things that happened without the use of magic without arousing suspicion to any of the servants. This is contrary to how Rosa thinks as she that servants have spare keys and so she still suspects the servants to be the culprits.

Both Battlers are totally dejected by this and they both hate this fact. Meta-Battler wants Meta-Beatrice to inform Rosa that there are no copies of the master keys. Meta-Beatrice sardonically asks if meta-Battler would be willing to swear himself in as meta-Beatrice’s furniture so that he could tell Rosa himself, thus she reveals the truth that there are only 5 master keys.

Battler, having believe that Beatrice exists gains a kiss from Maria who is so happy that finally Battler gave in. She urged Battler to help her solve the riddle of the epitaph so that these tragedies will soon end. Maria tells Battler that there would be no more killings if the inscription were to be solved, and she also tells him that Beatrice is doing this because magic requires more risk for more rewards. Without the killings, there won’t be as much risk.

Mirror

In the kitchen, Shannon revealed the mystery of the spider webs that she used to stop the fake Kanon in the previous episode. She said that spider webs are believed to have powers to suppress effect on the evil spirit that resided on Rokkenjima. She also told about her encounter with Beatrice and her shattering of the mirror act.

The mirror reminder her that Natushi has kep a smaller mirror that has the same power to suppress evil. Genji then said that Natsuhi is from a family of priests.. The mirror is in a box in Natsuhi’s room, and George suggests that they get it so that they can somehow counter Beatrice. However, they need to get Natsuhi’s key from the chapel to open the door to her room, but Genji remains behind in case Kinzou needs him. As soon as the others leave, a golden butterfly appears, which Genji dispels with a thrown knife.

George, Shanon and Gouda are successful in obtaining the key to Natsuhi's room. However, golden butterflies appear, and while they try to run away, George is unable to unlock the door. Things get scarier as Beatrice appears, and George finally manages to unlock the door so that they can run away from the chapel.

They arrived in Natsuhi's room and sought for the box that could contain the mirror. George tries to force open the box but Beatrice is already there. Beatrice's goat-like army arrives and so Gouda locked the door, but it keeps unlocking.

Gouda tries to keep the door closed while George struggles to force the box open, but his terror reaches new heights as a pair of arms pass through the door to caress him. It is another furniture of Beatrice’s, a blond one, and soon she turns into a stake and flies through the door to impale Gouda fatally in the chest. Still having been unable to force open the box, George and Shannon must face the humanoid goats, with golden butterflies flying around them and Beatrice herself appearing.
