Blue Truth: Difference between revisions

{{nihongo|The '''Blue Truth'''|青き真実|Aoki Shinjitsu}} is a rule and weapon introduced by [[Beatrice]] in {{alliance}}. The rule is meant to assist [[Battler Ushiromiya|Battler]] in countering the logic of the Witch's Side. The Blue Truth serves as the "weakest" of truths, as anything said in blue can be assumed is true unless refuted by a [[Red Truth]] or [[Golden Truth]]. The Blue Truth cannot be used simply to gather information, it can only be used to advance the user's overall theory. For the Human Side, this means that any use of the Blue Truth must carry with it a denial of the supernatural.

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|The reason Grandfather is strolling around like nothing happened even though he's already dead... is that people who want to make it seem as though he's alive created an illusion of him. People who think the same way can share in that illusion. Then, they talk as though Grandfather actually exists and was with them until a second ago. That's why he's strolling around like it's perfectly natural.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Because of this, the illusion of Grandfather is unable to appear in front of people who aren't in on this with Natsuhi oba-san. That's why they needed to set it up so that he would shut himself away in his study and not come out.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Because they all stuck to the same story, an illusion of Grandfather was able to exist on this island, making it seem like he was alive.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|In the last game, you said in red that Grandfather is dead at the start time for all games. However, you never mentioned whether Grandfather was alive or dead before the start time for the games. ......In short, even if Grandfather exists in this place right now, that doesn't create any contradictions.}} ("You" refers to Beatrice).

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|And, I also can't deny the existence of the Beatrice in this place. The number of people on this island outside the game board... in other words, before October 4 1986, has not been proclaimed in red. Therefore, there's nothing strange about Beatrice existing here.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|I was probably in an excited state after solving the epitaph's riddle. Then I mistook something for Grandfather.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|For example, maybe that was some kind of sheet or cover that had gotten caught in a dark grove of trees, which looked like Grandfather wearing a pitch black cloak! As a result, I mistakenly thought that I'd had some sort of conversation with Grandfather.}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|The victims aren't actually dead. They pretended to be dead, then secretly hid themselves somewhere. After all, you haven't proclaimed anyone's deaths with the red truth.}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|Krauss carried the corpses off and hid them. You've acted it out so that it looks like you've kidnapped Krauss and locked him up somewhere, but he might actually be free. Krauss has no alibi. Krauss hid their corpses.}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|The corpses were different people in the first place. They were substitute corpses just like the victims. George and the others were hiding from the beginning, and later cleared up those substitute corpses. These corpses were dead from the very beginning, so they don't count towards the number of people on the island.}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|You can't deny the possibility that Natsuhi met with Kinzo at 23:00. During the following six hours or more before you pushed your way into the study, Kinzo had many chances to escape this study! Because of this, you can't state decisively that Kinzo doesn't exist.}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Proof is unnecessary!! It's a Devil's Proof. It's impossible to find a hidden door and therefore impossible to disprove that it exists!! Therefore, no one can deny the possibility that Kinzo escaped from this study through a hidden door!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|It's possible that, after slipping out the door, Kinzo noticed the trick with the receipt and correctly returned it to its original place.}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Kinzo might have been a marvelous magician and an inventor, right?! He might have invented a drug that turns his body to mist and slipped out through the keyhole!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Or maybe he invented a teleport device, right?! That possibility is impossible to deny because of the Devil's Proof!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Oh, so you can examine every drug in the world? You can deny the existence of unknown scientific devices?! There's no way you can, it's a Devil's Proof! You cannot deny that they might exist!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Natsuhi claims to have 'talked with Kinzo in the study', but she never said that she spoke with him face to face. Therefore, if Kinzo was in a location other than the study, there is no contradiction as long as they held a conversation!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Natsuhi used the internal phone line in this study to speak with Kinzo, who was in another place! There's nothing strange about Kinzo, who hates the relatives, predicting that they would enter his study and leaving to go elsewhere. He might have gone to the hidden mansion, Kuwadorian!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|There's a chance the Kinzo Natsuhi mentioned does not refer to the person himself! The Kinzo Natsuhi spoke of might have been another name for this room, right? Kinzo had taken refuge in Kuwadorian and was impossible to contact. Perhaps Natsuhi called this room 'Father', and by contemplating inside of it, she felt as though she had received some sort of revelation from Kinzo!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Even if, as you say, this is a closed room and impossible to escape from, you can't deny the possibility that he is still hiding in this room. I'm not talking about a hidden door! He might be under the bed or above the ceiling! He might be hiding in a truly unobtrusive blind spot that only demons could know of, right?!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Or, it might be that Natsuhi, who was ordered to speak specially on Kinzo's behalf, considered herself both his representative and another Kinzo! In other words, it's possible that Natsuhi was also Kinzo!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|I've got plenty more!! At 23:00 last night, Kinzo escaped out the window! Natsuhi watched him go, then locked the window!! This doesn't lead to any problems. In fact, it might be the most beautiful blue truth yet!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Maybe he's under the bed?!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Maybe's he's in the bathtub!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Inside the closet! Under the desk! Behind the curtains!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Behind the bookshelf, behind the closet, under the carpet, under the floor, above the ceiling, behind the wallpaper, inside the sofa, inside the chair, inside the bed, inside the blankets, inside the walls, inside a rock, inside a stone, inside the room!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Natsuhi oba-san didn't let Grandfather escape. ......What if Grandfather snuck out, keeping it a secret from Natsuhi oba-san?!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|After Grandfather jumped out the window, Natsuhi oba-san probably noticed a slight draft. She then approached the window, realized that it was wide open, and quickly closed and locked it...!!}}

#Kinzo Ushiromiya: {{blue|Natsuhi probably couldn't even imagine that I had slipped out the window!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Yeah!! So it's only natural that Natsuhi oba-san thought Kinzo was sleeping in bed!!}}

#Cornelia: {{blue|Be that as it may, this is the third floor...! How could a wingless human escape from the window......?!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|This is the answeeeeeeeer aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!}}

#Dlanor A. Knox: {{blue|Was it shown beforehand that a blind spot existed within the study for Natsuhi? If it wasn't shown, this theory will not be permitted.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Ushiromiya Kinzo escaped from the study through the window when Natsuhi oba-san couldn't see him. Natsuhi oba-san didn't notice and locked the window. This way, Natsuhi oba-san saw Grandfather go to bed, and Grandfather was able to escape from the study without contradicting the lock of the window or the door sealed by the receipt. I have just demonstrated that it was physically possible for him to escape. Therefore, this battle is over!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Maybe one of those note in the parlor: Krauss, Natsuhi or Genji, simply saw their chance right after that and placed the letter there.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|We've heard that the mansion was locked and that no one outside could get in, but if someone pretended to have gone to the guesthouse and instead hid inside the mansion, it's perfectly possible that they could've placed the letter there.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|First off, we can doubt whether the knock was even something hitting the door to the dining hall at all. For example, there may be a certain pillar on the second floor which, because of how the mansion is constructed, makes a noise when struck which is transmitted down the pillar and which sounds just like a knock on the door to people in the dining hall.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Or they could have misheard some random sound to be a knock and all misconstrued it in the same way. Or the recorded sound of a knock could have been stealthily replayed from a tape, which might have been carefully set up to go off at exactly that time.}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|When Shannon and Kanon came in to serve tea, who was the last human to enter the dining hall...? Let's say it was Kanon. Wouldn't it be easy if Kanon, the last person in, secretly dropped the letter there when he closed the door?}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|Someone who existed outside of the mansion at 24:00 placed a letter somewhere other than the hallway beforehand. Then it was moved by some means and ended up 'placed in the hallway'.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Just as an example, let's say it was stuck to the bottom of the serving cart the servants were pushing. It was simply glued there in a way that would make it come unstuck after a certain amount of time. When it eventually fell off, it became 'the letter left behind by a witch' who shouldn't have existed. In other words, this is a classic trick where the true sender gives themselves an alibi by making the letter appear at a different time.}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|Maybe someone other than Krauss, Natsuhi, or Genji made that knock, or else a sound that could be misidentified as a knock.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|What if I, Furudo Erika, recorded a knocking sound on a cassette tape and used some kind of secret contraption to start it playing at exactly 24:00? Of course, I wasn't in the mansion at 24:00.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|In that case, the letter might have been stuck to the ceiling of the hallway instead of the serving cart. The ceiling of the hallway is surprisingly high, so even if you just stuck it there out in the open, maybe no one would notice it. This way, it would certainly fall in the corridor. And you can slip by the red if someone outside the mansion did this!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Someone outside the mansion set things up with a cassette tape or something to make a knock sound play}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|There was some kind of device that could knock on the door. There was something like an automatic door knocker, and that made it possible to knock without touching the door with your hands.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|When you set up the ladder from the courtyard and saw Rudolf-san go up it to the third story window, you closely observed the construction of the outer wall, and realized that by cleverly using a rain gutter, it might be possible to go down to the courtyard from the third floor window...! You didn't jump down! You used a rain gutter or something and clumsily wriggled down the outer wall!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Trying to look cool and making it look like you jumped down was all an illusion! You just jumped out and latched onto a rain gutter...!!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Gohda and Kumasawa have no alibis. The two of them were in the guesthouse and could have reached the cousins' room to commit the murder at any time. Unless you can deny that possibility, you cannot treat Natsuhi as the culprit.}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|Even so, he shouldn't have an alibi for the time period before and after you were in the lounge! It was possible for Nanjo to commit the crime too!}}

#Beatrice: {{blue|For example, what if someone placed a ladder against the outer wall of the guesthouse and snuck in through the second story window?! There must be a way to reach the second floor without passing through the lounge! This way, it was possible to reach the crime scene without you seeing it...!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Therefore, the time of the crime is limited to the single hour between 24:00, when they were confirmed to be alive, and 1:00 AM, when our party in the lounge started!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Can't we doubt the reliablity of these seals of Erika's?! Something like wedging some paper in a door can't create a perfect alibi! It might be that someone noticed by chance happened to put it back in the same place...!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|I'll acknowledge Erika's seals...! However, Eva oba-san's seal on Genji-san's room should be different!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Erika said something about a scientific investigation and fished through the chemicals in Grandfather's room, right?! There might have been some kind of solvent in there!! If you used that, you might be able to tear off the duct tape without leaving fingernail marks!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Let's assume that there exists some method X that can lead someone to the second floor of the guesthouse without passing through the lounge! Erika claims that the windows and such were sealed, but she can't prove that she sealed all possible means of entry! There's a possibility that Erika was unable to seal entrance X because she couldn't find it!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|I present the possibility that Erika's lookout in the lounge wasn't perfect!! During the two hours Erika spent there, she really observed everything without looking away for a second?! It might be possible for someone to have passed through the lounge during a small gap without at least Erika seeing them!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|But was that really Rosa oba-san herself?! There's a possibility that someone disguised themselves as Rosa oba-san!! Or maybe she was actually holding a large suitcase with someone hiding inside it!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Natsuhi oba-san was being threatened by someone!! The uninvited, unknown guest X is the true culprit!! How can you be sure that we are the only ones on this island?! The true culprit is someone else!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Maybe they were killed with poison in a remote murder!! Umm, ......with a strange drug that can make a cut appear in someone's neck when they die...!! That type of murder has a delayed effect, so even with an alibi-}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|There's a chance that there existed a murder device X in the cousins' room and Genji-san's waiting room that made a remote murder possible...!! It had some secret mechanism that still hasn't been discovered, and-}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Anyways, there exists a culprit other than Natsuhi oba-san!! If you want to deny that, try and repeat in red that 'none of the characters shown were the culprit'!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|You say that everyone except Natsuhi oba-san has an alibi?! You're forgetting one person!! Who's gonna prove that Erika herself has an alibi?!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Unless she's caught red-handed, you should never be able to deny the possibility that Natsuhi oba-san is innocent!! Can you even deny future possibilities, like if a piece of evidence X that Erika hasn't discovered proves Natsuhi's innocence?!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Th, this tale is filled with malicious lies!! The tale itself has become a trap to capture Natsuhi! The tale should be constructed only from impartial truths!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|I was the culprit, so maybe I gave George-aniki and the others a slow-acting poison to make them die after 24:00, then silently slit their throats when I returned at 3:00 AM!! I could have done it so quietly that Erika wouldn't hear...!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Everyone committed suicide...!! So there is no culprit!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Erika didn't personally perform an autopsy on the corpses, right?! It should be possible for people who aren't the detective to mistake an autopsy!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Then maybe there were body double corpses!! They prepared corpses beforehand that closely resembled the victims...!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Th, then why can you claim that Krauss oji-san is dead without his corpse?!! Doesn't that violate Knox's somethingth or whatever?!!}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|Therefore, it is suspected that Ushiromiya Natsuhi and Ushiromiya Kinzo had sexual relations with each other. Why else would a man and a woman share the same bed all night long?}}

#Dlanor A. Knox: {{blue|Lady Erika's reasoning has solved the 5th GAME. No new facts exist which overturn the truth created by this reasoning...!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|It's possible to construct it using the revenge of the baby from 19 years ago, which Natsuhi oba-san confessed about.}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|What if the baby from 19 years ago was among us since the very beginning? For example, ......what if it was me?!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Therefore,It's itonly was impossiblepossible for youthe crime to commithave thetaken crimeplace between 24:00 and 1:00!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Therefore, it's possiblewas thatimpossible thefor crimeyou didn'tto occurcommit betweenthe 24:00 and 1:00...crime!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|By the time of the crime's discovery, you mean the point at which I let out a scream and everyone gathered there. Even if it was impossible to kill them before that point, it was possible to kill them afterwards...!!}}

#Ronove: {{blue|......When was that red truth made? Have you forgotten, Miss?}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|......TheIn deaththat proclamationcase, waswhen madedo at 24:00you onclaim the secondred day,truth indeath otherproclamation words,happened?! atAre theyou endsaying ofyou thecan game.pinpoint Thatthat?! doesYou notcan't denypinpoint theit, possibilityso thatyou thecan't murderdeny occurred afterthat the morningdeath ofproclamation thewas day,made afterat the so-called 'discoverytime of the crime'...s discovery!!}}

#Ronove: {{blue|Did you see that yourself, Miss Detective...? It may be true that all corpses, no matter whose, would not lead to a mistaken autopsy, ......but it has never been said that there was a rule against something other than a corpse being called a corpse.}}

#Virgilia: {{blue|......Shouldn't you rethink your reasoning? Kinzo doesn't exist. Therefore, the way for the bodies to disappear in your theory is a failure.}}

#Dlanor A. Knox: {{blue|Can you prove that this corpse is Ushiromiya Kinzo's?! No matter how much it resembles him, unless you can prove that it is him, it is possible to claim that it was a substitute corpse from someone ELSE!! Can you show that it was Kinzo's corpse with the truth of HUMANS?! In this case alone, and with the red truth specifically, no counter-argument will be effective...!!}}

#Dlanor A. Knox: {{blue|And that itself suggests the possibility that this corpse is a body double! This unidentifiable corpse cannot serve as proof of Kinzo's death...!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|......Checkmate...!! My theory does not waver!!}}

#Dlanor A. Knox: {{blue|It is possible that it was just a sheet or something fluttering in the wind and rain which you mistook for Kinzo. It cannot be used as foreshadowing to form a basis for Knox's 9th...!! Mistaking things for something else is a right permitted to all observers!!}}

#Battler Ushiromiya: {{blue|Therefore, my perspective in this game is based upon the 9th, not the 7th...!! The fact that I claimed to have seen Grandfather is proooooooooooofff!!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Th, that's wrong, it's a drama of revenge against the Ushiromiya family that Natsuhi thought up!! Your theory outright opposes mine!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|You might be telling a lie about something that never happened!! }}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|This wouldn't have anything to do with a trick in the actual cup or table, making this just a sleight of hand, right? }}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|While you had your eyes closed, I just lifted the cup up and tossed a candy in!! Call that magic? It's just a third-rate triiiiiick, hyahhaaaaaaah!!!}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Everything that you ever thought was magic was just a trick that you didn't get!! There's no way it was magic! There's no way magic exiiiiiiiiiiiiiists!!}}

#Sakutarou: {{blue|P, putting the candy in this cup might have been your sleight of hand, but that doesn't prove that Beato's magic was also a sleight of hand.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|However, you also can't prove that it could only have been done with magic!! You rotten stuffed animaaaal!!}}

#Sakutarou: {{blue|However, it might really have been magic when Maria saw it...! Just because it can be done by a sleight of hand doesn't disprove magic.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|Krauss's group cut the chain and destroyed the closed rooms, then killed the people inside.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|There is a possibility of a hidden door X that is impossible to discover. He's hidden behind that, so it is impossible for me to find him.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|You did not vanish from this room. You just hid yourself to make it seem as though you'd disappeared from a closed room. The place you are hiding......is the 'one exception' that I haven't investigated yet.}}

#Erika Furudo: {{blue|This is the one exception. ......The walk-in closet next to the entrance!!}}

#Dlanor A. Knox: {{blue|There are no places in which to hide other than THIS. You are now hiding in HERE}}

#Bernkastel: {{blue|That's a Devil's Proof. Maybe it just isn't inside the casket? Unless you can prove that no corpse exists, this is mystery.}} (refers to R7-3)

#Beatrice: {{blue|The culprit locked the room from inside, then hid in Natsuhi's room. Then, after everyone left, they found an opportunity to escape.}}
