The nineteenth person: Difference between revisions

The existence of a '''nineteenth person''' on the island of [[Rokkenjima]] is a recurring element in {{umineko}}. Initially, there are only eighteen people believed to be living on or otherwise inhabiting the island at the time of the [[Rokkenjima massacre]]; [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]], [[Krauss Ushiromiya]], [[Natsuhi Ushiromiya]], [[Eva Ushiromiya]], [[Hideyoshi Ushiromiya]], [[Rudolf Ushiromiya]], [[Kyrie Ushiromiya]], [[Rosa Ushiromiya]], [[George Ushiromiya]], [[Jessica Ushiromiya]], [[Battler Ushiromiya]], [[Maria Ushiromiya]], [[Genji Ronoue]], [[Chiyo Kumasawa]], [[Shannon]], [[Kanon]], [[Toshiro Gohda]], and [[Terumasa Nanjo]]. Therefore, after the massacre begins, many characters believe there is a possible nineteenth person on the island who is committing the murders. The nineteenth person also represents a type of "holy grail" or ideal outcome for Battler: if he can prove the nineteenth person both exists and is guilty then he can simultaneously deny the witch [[Beatrice]] and avoid suspecting his friends and family.
