Umineko no Naku Koro ni Theories: Difference between revisions

:It has long been speculated that [[Bernkastel]] is the [[Frederica Bernkastel|same character who wrote the poems introducing each chapter of ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'']]. A very popular theory is that this same Bernkastel is actually [[Rika Furude]], a theory supported by both characters having fragment-hopping abilities as well as similar appearances. ThisThe connection between Rika and Bernkastel has been confirmed by [[Ryukishi07]], however the connection between Rika, Bernkastel, and Frederica Bernkastel remains a fan speculation.

:Lambdadelta is Bernkastel's companion voyager witch and thus is the subject of speculation regarding a possible human identity. Previously, the most common version of this theory was that Lambdadelta is [[Miyo Takano]], main antagonist of ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' and Rika's main rival. This is supported by the similar appearance between the two characters as well as Lambdadelta referring to Miyo Takano as "her other self" in the ''[[Hotarubi no Tomoru Koro ni]]'' prologue, ''[[The First and the Last Gift]]''. However, Ryukishi07 has dismissed this theory as a red herring. Another common speculation is that Lambdadelta is [[Satoko Houjou]], Rika's best friend. This is supported by similar appearance between the two as well as the similarity of Rika and Satoko's relationship to Bernkastel and Lambdadelta's relationship. Though they have not been officially connected, Satoko's experiences during {{satokowashi}} and {{sotsu}} have only cemented the theory.
