2: if in the case of the Peter inverted cross then it would be a sign of humility before Jesus but when has Battler ever really shown any humility or scent of Christianity.
3: His clothes kinda show how he may seem good on the outside but bad on the inside. Having a white jacket over an inner red and black vest shirt combo making him seem devil like. This could be simply cause he thought it looks cool or again symbolism for something completely different.
@Burkieeee yea there's soooo many interpretations of what that inverted cross means and there definitely is that possibility that Ryukushi doesn't know what it means. but for the sake of the story I only see a couple of reasons why it would be included in battler's image art
1: to foreshadow that while in the beginning he denies witches he beforehand and after the rokkenjima incident believed in witches and wanted to practice magic/witchcraft
@Turksemployee Upside down crosses don't represent satanism despite what most people believe. It's actually a symbol of St. Peter iirc. He was sentenced to be crucified but didn't believe himself to be worthy to die in the same way as Jesus so he requested that his cross be flipped.
I suppose the misconception comes from the satanic star being an inverted Star of David, you'd think that'd work with Christianity's symbol too, but no.
Then again, it's possible Ryukishi doesn't know this...
I suppose it's to late to make new theories now, when it is almost certain who is the mastermind in Umineko.
I still believe Battler's cross is only fashion fancy of Ryukishi07.
EP7 said nothing about this and to prove, that Battler had any connection with satanism etc. you must provide this with backstory but I find this quite imposible cause EP8 will be last Episode. "Who dunnit" and "Why dunnit" is explained so far by Willard (I only read through first part of the EP7)
@AlCid0 yea but amakusa's cross is rightside up and gold. Upside down crosses are supposed to represent satanism if I'm not mistaken. Also a gold cross seems religions whereas a red cross seems more like it's death connotation.
@Burkieeee well....not to be taken seriously but, if 07 have a cross fetish...then, why arent any crosses in higurashi?
