I actually love the choice for the outfits here. Both of them wearing their Miko outfits that not only represent their masters, but also represent Eua and Hanyuu's relationship with one-another, with Hanyuu being represented by the shard of the greater sword. It's absolutely fantastic.
It is just a theory. Just ignore it if this Umineko connection doesn't exist. Satoko has almost 100%( or 95%) of the sword and Rika just has a little piece of it. I think this represents Rika as a symbol of miracles and Satoko as a symbol of certainty. The paradox is that Satoko has not the whole sword anymore. And everything under 100% is not certainly anymore, right? Well to explain this we have a quote from Bernkastel about Lambdadelta herself: That girl has a dreadful power. …The power to kill an individual ‘without fail’. However, 'without fail’ doesn’t exist in this world. No matter how many times you divide 1, you can never reach zero. That girl has the power to bring the odds of failure down to 'almost exactly zero’…the power to give rise to 'almost perfect certainty’. …I hope I never have to fight such a terrifying witch again Oh and btw the final fight reminds me of Bernkastel vs Ange. This is not about the mystery game or being realistic anymore but about who of them has the stronger will.
Indeed. It is also very likely Eua and Hanyuu are aspects of the Great Witch FEATHERINE AUGUSTUS AURORA, who bestows aspect of Great Witches onto Board Pieces for Entertainment Purposes.
This is actually proof they are Lambdadelta and Bernkastel since Hanyuu kept saying miracle and certain and Lambdadelta is the witch of Certainty while Bernkastel is the witch of Miracles.
It’s interesting that they say some things that seem to refer to Bern vs Lambda in Umi ep 8 with the whole Big Bang and creating their own universe. May even end with both Rika and Satoko dying and living in the sea of fragments as witches, who knows. Especially since despite all of what Satoko has done, Rika cares for her. Hanyuu also pleads Rika for a miracle rather than Rika seeking Hanyuu’s power. The entire fight where they are flying and have auras is much like the fights in Umineko that were often covered in a witch’s illusion which were also spectated by higher beings in the meta, which gives credence to parts of this fight being an illusion. Afterall, in the real world, they cannot fly lol.
@@RaquelleDeVil this could very well be the battle that they were talking about in Umineko where Bernkastel and Lambadadelta fought and it was said that Bernkastel won
Neither of them want to kill the other Neither of them want to die either Both of them seem to hesitate towards the end of the episode. Yep, I feel like we're headed towards the logic error ending by now, somehow it's gonna happen next episode and that will fully connect Rika to Bernkastel.
This fight isnt an illusion, this has nothing to do with hinamizawa syndrome. At this part both Rika and Satoko have more or less started ascending out of the chessboard and will probably not even be considered pieces anymore. They’ve both awakened the powers featherine and Hanuyuu granted them. I dont see any reason for this to be an illusion, tell me what yall think.
Oh and also they’re basically not even fighting on the chessboard anymore, they’re literally jumping inbetween fragments during this fight so theyre more or leas connected straight to the meta world, and you can definitely have these kinds of magic battles in the meta world
On one hand, I really loved them facing off with godlike powers, but on the other... the flying felt a bit too much. Other than that, love that they wore their own miko outfits
"What's this? It looks like Rika's got Satoko in her crosshairs! Will she take the plunge and end her nemesis's existence once and for all? Find out on the next Bishoujo Senshi Higurashi Ball Z!!"
I love how Rika’s speaking pattern keeps switching between the serious “Bernkastel” and old “Rika” throughout the fights. It almost makes me think that she’s having a fight within herself whenever she switches between Boku and Watashi as to which one is the real her.
this!! i had the same theory. she also had a fragment version of herself and let’s be honest, she’s not very nice lol. she called herself a witch as well but didn’t have a name for herself yet, but didn’t identify as rika. i think “bern” is going to take over last minute. otherwise the cliffhanger would be dumb if it’s something predictable as rika setting the sword aside
Huge Umineko/Ciconia vibes, spoilers for Umineko and Ciconia so watch at your discretion: Their whole fight has been mixing a lot of elements from Umineko/Ciconia and showing what's really underneath in the WTC universe, tying all the stories together for possible anime adaptation for the rest of the series. Umineko: -Foreshadowing of Lambda vs Bern fight -Gou/Sotsu explain everything for EP6 when Erika asked Lambda about her and Bern's past (The Logic Error) -The Golden truth and magical glow that Battler and Ange obtained each (Battler in EP5 and Ange in EP8) Ciconia: -Sotsu is foreshadowing Gauntlet Knights epic air battles in Ciconia, hopefully the fights are animated the same way (and directing the franchise into the magical/action fantasy as the story progresses) -the importance of the green power that Satoko wields and the blue power that Rika wields (both correlating to the students that were designated either blue or green according to their potential) -the fact that Vier is inside Satoko, so Ciconia in a way has Vier ending up in the world of Higurashi, losing her memories and ending up inside Satoko's body instead of meeting Eua face to face with all her memories intact. Gou/Sotsu may have been controversial and divided the community, but there are many that still enjoyed this wild ride and are very eager to see how the rest of the WTC universe unfolds.
@@David-uy5nr we gotta theorize! It's up to us to discover the truth R07 wants us to. And this franchise does it amazingly when fans get together and discuss and share ideas or possible theories. I'm glad you liked it :) and it's for the sake of theorycrafting and trying to solve this incredible puzzle R07 has given us. Always happy to share ideas with fellow fans
I feel bad for some viewers that couldn't grasp the whole point of this fight and thought that the series just took a turn for shonen. It was a battle between absolute certainty and a miracle which is entirely represented by this scene. Satoko having full advantage against Rika while Rika lies solely on luck and perseverance.

It's not so bad. This scene does feel over the top with the flying shrine maiden fight but Higurashi always had supernatural elements in it and we're at the final answer arc already and a huge fight between these two was to be expected as we could see in the opening.
@@JcDizon Sorry man, to me higurashi ended at the OG novels, it had a nice ending where Rika finally reaches her goal after many eps of torment for the group of friends.

This is spot on, as explained in Umineko Ep1 Tea party and Umineko Dawn of the Golden Witch.
Indeed. It is also very likely Eua and Hanyuu are aspects of the Great Witch FEATHERINE AUGUSTUS AURORA, who bestows aspect of Great Witches onto Board Pieces for Entertainment Purposes.

Yeah exactly Rika and Bern can make something so small into something extremely big.
too bad most people will never get this and will just take what happens at face value

I second to that.
I also think the same. Then next season/arc will tell how they get out of this logic error and become witches Bern-Lambda
pretty much, umineko itself did say that the higurashi gameboard was a huge issue due to a unsolvable logic error that had to be fixed somehow
i like how the words certain and miracle are two keywords in the show
I know that this fight is an illusion, but I can’t help but wonder how this battle is being played out with out the witch-O vision.
it was already shown before, they are just beating the shit out of each other
