Umineko: When They Cry: Difference between revisions

** {{spoiler|1=Every single time the phone rings in EP5, it's for Natsuhi, and a man claiming to be her son from 19 years ago gives her strange orders and taunts her mercilessly.}}

* [[Evolving Credits]] - The witch portrait changes each arc (default-Beatrice, then [[Zettai Ryouiki]]-Beatrice, then {{spoiler|Eva-Beatrice}}); the fourth arc simply shows all three portraits in reverse order. Starting in the third arc they also added 15 new characters to the opening and changed the positioning of four others to reflect their relationship. By the fifth arc, {{spoiler|Erika}} now has a portrait in the opening, and by the seventh, all of the previous portraits {{spoiler|plus Battler's and Wright and Lion's}} are seen.

* [[Extreme Doormat]] - Kanon verges on this with his whole "furniture" ideology, but it's subverted-ish in the end of "Turn of the Golden Witch," {{spoiler|when he admits he's in love with Jessica}}.

** The trailer before the release of the first game opened with the words "No Knox, No Dine, [[Clueless Mystery|No Fair]]". {{spoiler|Episodes 5 and 7 introduce incarnations of the Knox and Van Dine rules respectively.}}

** A [http://www.alchemist-net.co.jp/new-project/ website] version. Alchemist announced a Umineko project, but used different characters drawn in the Umineko portrait style. This all turned out to be a joke and the characters were for their new game [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXI6BVSOJrM Galgun], but at the same time they announced [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zez-F8ilASs Rondo of the Witch and Reasoning]

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]] - Beatrice is prone to these, and Maria's giggling sometimes morphs into it as well. Lambda has her "O-ho-ho-ho-ho!" in the [[Visual Novel]] as well.

* [[No Body Left Behind]] - The Stakes are some of the few characters NOT to leave gruesome corpses. Unless they're the ones doing the killing, but that's another matter...
