Episode 11: Back Rank Mate


By far this is the grossest Umineko episode that I ever watched. And to think that I watched this on the wee hours of the night. I really felt weird and eeky after -______-

Btw..this episode marks the end of Round II.

On the fourth twilight, kill by gouging the head.
On the sixth twilight, kill by gouging the belly.

As a person who loves pink so much, I really loved it when Shannon has a barrier that is very much pinky and flowery. With the help of the mirror, she was able to repel Beatrice's attacks and protect George until the end. This angers Beato even more and her shield is not enough to repel it. So before they die, Shannon asked George to tell her that he loves her but Beatrice's cruelty won't let him do it. George was impaled on the torso while Shanon with the head.

On the fifth twilight, kill by gouging the chest.
On the seventh twilight, kill by gouging the knee.
On the eighth twilight, kill by gouging the leg.

Nanjo and Kumasawa's death were discovered by Genji who reported it to Rosa. Rosa, with Battler and Maria checkedt he bodies outside and both are impaled on the lee and knee, all in accordance to the 7th and 8th twilight. Battler notes that the 4th to 6th twilight were skipped and this is when they realized the absences of Shannon and George.

On the ninth twilight, the witch revives, and no one is left alive.

With all the twilight fulfilled, all that is left to happen is for them to die and for Beatrice to arrive. Rosa doesn't want to believe that their deaths will soon happen. They had back to parlor while they sent Genji away on his own. In the parlor, Battler saw a new letter from Beatrice...it's a two paged letter. The first page contains the 7th Magic Seal of the Sun and the next page is a message asking for the solution to the riddle since the time is almost up.

Rosa vs. Battler

Rosa saw Battler reading the letter and Rosa quickly concluded is that Battler is a wolf because no one else could have placed the letter other than himself. But Battler was also suspicious of his auntie since she could also place the letter there withouth them noticing. The tension rises as Battler also points out that of all the adults, she is only remaining alive so it's logical that she is the culprit.

Rosa is so ready to shoot him when Maria gets in the middle and begged them to stop fighting and that it was Beatrice who did the killing. Battler, tired of the psychological and mental pressure of the situation yelled for Beatrice to come and show up.

Kinzou's whereabouts.

He is alive and well. He is infront of Beatrice's portrait longing to see her again. He said that he wanted to apologize to her. Kinzou is really crying very hard...but then someone knocked on his door and the crying Kinzou thinks that it might be Beatrice.

In the dining room, Battler is drunk when Genji suddenly called for him saying that it is the right time for him to learn everything. He was taken to Kinzou's study, and saw Beatrice in her uniform like clothes. Beatrice said that he is willing to answer all of Battler's questions in a condition: he will kneel and kiss her shoes.

Return of the Witch

The scene then changes with Genji announcing to the human goats the revival of the Golden Witch, Beatrice. Again, Beatrice in her gown enters with a naked Battler on chains. It appears, Battler is now her furniture. It appears, Berkanstel is on the crowd and she pities Battler's current state.

With only 3 minutes before the door to Golden Land opens, Kinzou appears asking to bring him inside the Golden Lan. But the human goats start attacking him and he was brutally killed. The same thing happened to the chained Battler. He also died.

Outside, Rosa and Maria are running away from the golden butterflies and human goats. Maria falls down and Rosa is so much motherly protecting her beloved daughter. They also had a little motherly talk..Rosa asks Maria if she wants to stay with her even though she is a bad mama.

Rosa's darkest secrets

It's already 12:00 and Rosa founds herself tied to a chair, facing Beatrice. Beatrice offers her food made from his siblings as her pain comes from them. This is the grossest part of the episode. The menu are:

  • Blood from Klaus

  • Tongue of Eva which Rosa wanted to bite on her 9th Birthday (what?!?!?)

  • The skin from Rudolf's face who betrayed him.

  • Maria's head for dessert.
Maria's head is the main event of the meal. Beatrice points out that Rosa only pretended to love her daughter and pretends that she is just a nuisance especially when Rosa brings a man to a house. Because of this, Maria is sorry she was born. Rosa, in tears was forced to eat her daughter's head.

End of Round II

But before fully devouring her daughter, Beatrice wants Rosa to acknowledger her as a witch. Rosa immediately does so then Battler (meta-Battler is suppose) appears with his spirits renewed. He said that he is inspired of Rosa's persistence and the Round 3 of the same starts anew.

Beatrice vs. Berkanstel

The scene changes to another room, where Beatrice and Berkanstel says. Beatrice knows that Berkanstel is meddling with the game. Berkanstel says she is ignorant but Beatrice is so excited to had another round with the most powerful of all witches.

Another witch shows up and its Lambdadelta. She join's Beatrice side as she holds a grudge to Berkanstel for loosing on a previous game.

Berkanstel has no complains for Lambdadelta's participation in the game but instead she is delighted that she can now go all out with her presence now fully revealed. And Beatrice happily starts the next game.

  1. Actually the six in the chapel were the first twilight.

    Shannon was the fourth (her head gouged)
    Gohda was the fifth (his chest was gouged)
    George was the sixth (his stomach gouged. The way it was drawn just looks weird)

  3. Its so stupid Battler is fighting a losing battle due to the conditions he set. The whole point is he can't admit her magic is real or he can be killed by it. So he just needs to admit magic is real for the people who believe in it. Ta da hes suddenly innoculated and can actually work out whats actually going on rather than coming up with silly untrue explanations for everything which Beatrice can just use the red writing to disprove.
