Yeah, the things the VN hides from the backstory is brutal stuff.

Confession of the Golden Witch is, like, the peakest of peak fiction

No, there's 16 people on the island at the start of every Episode. Beatrice is someone who is on the island. Also, they don't answer the question of who Yasu is. That's reserved for the manga, the VN never says it outright.

Going to just say, Battler in Episode 1 meets everybody except Kinzo. He meets all 17 people.

The meaning of the 16 people is that with Erika there is 17 people, so there is only 16 people on the island instead of the 18 we always believed. If you take out Erika, there's only 16, therefore it's not counting Erika. Kinzo is one, but that leaves one extra person. And trying to figure that out is one of the mysteries.

Remember the Detective's Authority. Whatever is witnessed by the holder of the Authority is unquestionably correct, as well as any scene that takes place before everyone reaches the island, so long as its not being told to us by a character. So everything Battler and Erika sees are reality, and every flashback is real. So since both Battler and Erika see Shannon and Kanon, and since the objective flashbacks show both Shannon and Kanon, neither of them can be outright falsehoods. Also check out my comment, I updated it cuz I posted too early by mistake, I got a lot more thoughts Oh yeah also, everything Will says is true. Will just outright gives you the solutions. The question is, what does it mean? That's what you must find out, what he's saying means.

Her face is not destroyed. That doesn't make sense. We don't know anyone in the cast whose face is that badly ruined. Beatrice's certainly isn't. Additionally, nobody we know is paralyzed from the waist down, and certainly not Beatrice. That also does not make sense. Think carefully, consider what makes sense and what doesn't. Honestly, that scene is kinda weird to me. You're not supposed to be able to lie to someone using the Theatergoing Authority on you, and what Kinzo said was a straight out lie. Honestly, Yasu is so depressed that she would have a very hard time ever actually getting past it. It's not a matter of the reality, the reality is that if she just TOLD people they would still accept her, that's what Ryukishi said. It's a matter of her perception, and her perception is that she can't be loved because she believes she's ruined and she's too scared of rejection to tell anybody about it, so she just stews alone in her depression.

Oh I see someone played the Tea Party

I've gone beyond trusting ambitious Japanese authors with estimates about when their series is going to end. I've learned too much from Oda saying One Piece will end in five years for the past five years. I don't trust Kondo whatsoever.

I love the Yasu backstory so much. It's such a perfect storm of pure emotional pain.

We don't know how long the Calvard arc will last, but the Daybreak series is only two games. Kai no Kiseki is still a Calvard arc game, though.

Yeah, I said it was probably a different she. Grandmaster is probably who Campanella is talking about

7th Anguis is Arianrhod. There's no real ranking in Ouroboros, number doesn't mean anything in regards to Anguis. The she Campanella mentions is probably Grandmaster.

The reason is because Ryukishi wanted to make the mystery something that the reader had to solve. He didn't want to just give the reader the answer. He eventually decided to put the full on answer in the manga when they were making it, but he wanted the reader to take the effort to solve the mystery and he very much criticizes the idea of needing the author to spell things out for you. Also, you can read Confession any time after Episode 7, it doesn't spoil anything in Episode 8 itself. It's basically just the events of Yasu's backstory, but with a lot more context.

Not even that. Lion being accepted means that they're a member of the family, not simply a servant. Yasu's characterization and her motives for doing what she does stems from her experiences that she has only when she's yeeted off the cliff and becoming a servant as a result, which Lion never gets because obviously they're not thrown off a cliff as a child and they are instead the heir to the family. Clair is pretty much always just a stand-in, rather than an actual person that exists. Bit of a warning, Yasu's motivations aren't really explained the best in the visual novel. It's a consequence of the story not really telling you who she truly is. It gives you a general indication of the reasons she does what she does, but it doesn't give you the full context of why this is the decision she's made. The manga, specifically some manga-exclusive chapters in Episode 8 titled "Confession of the Golden Witch", goes into great detail about... pretty much everything about Yasu's identity that isn't explained or elaborated upon in the visual novel.

Yeah Daybreak is as dark as 3rd. Definitely the most bloodthirsty game in the series. Nothing quite touches Star Door 15, but it tries its damnedest to get very close.

Looks at Trails through Daybreak No. No I don't think they do.

It wasn't Gideon in the original version of the game, he was just a random dude. It was only after CS that they changed him to being Gideon. The portrait is another addition to this version of the game.

Looked it up, you're right she was in Sky. But she isn't important like Niall and Dorothy.

Yes, Towa is a retcon too. She was not in the original version of the game

I don't recall a Noticia, so probably not. The Sky reporters are named Dorothy and Niall.

Is a cute dog (had no reaction)

Arseille is not the airship from CS. The CS airship, the Courageous, isn't ZCF made, it's Erebonia made and inspired by the Arseille.

If you mean the Liberl airship, that's the Arseille, which is importsnt in Sky
