Red Truth

The Red Truth is a rule and weapon introduced by Beatrice in Turn of the Golden Witch. The Red Truth was conceived as a counter to Battler Ushiromiya's Devil's Proof.

Anything stated in the Red Truth is a fact that can be presented unquestionably without evidence. However, while the Red Truth is undeniable, it can have multiple interpretations. The Red Truth is an essential part of a battle between Humans and witches. If the Human side doesn't believe in the Red Truth then the trust between the two sides will falter and the game move into a stalemate.

When referring to specific statements in this article, a specific notation is used. For example, Statement 14 of Turn of the Golden Witch, is written as R2-14. "R" refers to Red Truth, "2" refers to Turn of the Golden Witch as Turn is the second game in Umineko no Naku Koro ni and "14" refers to the 14th statement.
