The Great Detective Knows.... not to stand in the rain in just her underwear while taping the windows... this logic is below her so she does not understand.
AHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!! I kinda hoped this would happen to that self-serving, overly arrogant twat!!!!! XD That's just the perfect end for her! (Is it easy to tell that I HATE Erika? Not really as a character, she adds something to the story that went away at the end of the fourth novel, a character to HATE...)
@confusedkitsune People LIKE her!?!?!?!?!? O___O Dear God, she's a- Oh, I already described her... I will give her this though, she describes herself in a rather brilliant way. (An intellectual rapist) Very fitting for her character. In a way, I don't hate that she's in the story, I just want REALLY bad things to happen to her, and I relish every mistake she makes. ^_^
@Asgard314 What are you talking about? All Umineko forums and fansites are full of Erika worshipers. >.> Yeah, I understand her role in the story (she was needed to advance the plot) but my gosh, did she really have to be such a bitchy know-it-all Mary Sue? It's like Ryu was really mocking at the fans. Besides, I really hate her for what she did to Natsuhi in ep 5. But I absolutely loved the ending of ep 6, she got what she deserved. Damn that Erika!!!
@confusedkitsune Yeah... I JUST got to the part where she get's into a Red/Blue duel wit MARIA over A F****ING MAGIC TRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget what I said about her redeemable features, that was just...
@Asgard314 Was that in ep 5 or 6? Can't seem to remember. Anyway, hope I haven't spoiled you about her. But Erika's gonna piss you off tenfold from now on because of what she does. <.< Good luck handling her.
@confusedkitsune Mary Sue? I kinda hope people would stop using terminology they don't understand... A Mary Sue is, and i quote, "a fictional character with overly idealized and hackneyed mannerisms, lacking noteworthy flaws, and primarily functioning as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the author or reader." Erika is obviously flawed - she is insane and emotionally distubed. Mary Sues are one-dimensional, Erika isnt. Mary Sues are very ethical and cliché, Erika kills people to prove her point.
@Luxikhar I know what a Mary Sue is, thank you. And there are many variations of Sues - I do agree that Erika isn't a traditional one. I'll write this is multiple messages due to the space limit, but basically, if you were to go by the definition from TvTropes: "In other words, the term "Mary Sue" is generally slapped on a character who is important in the story, possesses unusual physical traits, and has an irrelevantly over-skilled or over-idealized nature.", Erika is definitely one.
@confusedkitsune She is obviously over-skilled and over-mannered for someone who is, presumably, a teenager. In the beginning she is idolized by all Ushiromiyas. She does have that deep, troubled past (her boyfriend betraying her, thus leading her to despise love). She is not exactly an author avatar, but more like a "fan avatar" - Ryu uses her to represent the fan theories.
Yes, she does have flaws. However - she does not seem to posses character development traits - at least not until ep 8.
@confusedkitsune I disagree. First, if you're going by the premise of her being over-skilled then every detective in History is a "Mary Sue". All of them have above-average skills. Heck, i'm a Mary-Sue in a couple areas myself! Erika is no different, except she is way more obsessed. Her mannerism is just for kicks and rarely used. Her story is not even that deep, it's as common as common can be.
@confusedkitsune She develops a lot during ep 6, if you recall correctly and most umineko fans i know hate her. Mary Sues are always pictured as being the "saviors of mankind", the "queens of self-sacrfice" etc. As you know, she is nothing like that. Point stands. And i'm not gonna argue against "non-traditional definitions", since anyone can create and build them upon nothing, baseless and still call it a "definition".
@AnimeGirl2120 Even when she *SPOILER* beheaded everyone who was pretending to be dead? I liked her, then she tricked Battler into giving her tape. I then put up with her, but then she did THAT!!!!! I absolutely HATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And yet she's a brilliant character, the book's better off with her in it.)
@Asgard314 i am not sure but i think someone who read the whole of ep8 said, that in some place at ep8 it was stated, that BATTLER only faked his logic error, so that kid-beato can be revived.
@Meister9Neo That's beside the point. SHE was a demon who decided to lie to get the tape, and SHE was the psycopath that killed people just to win the game... =_= I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
@AliceCove In the SN she was duct-taping windows shut to seal entrances and exits. It had the power of the red truth. And she wore her school swimsuit.
Lol, yesterday my dad came and saw the picture and said: ''It's cool how they make those pictures, especialy the reflection on the water.''
XD God bless he didn't saw what REALY was on the picture o_o'
