Sumire of the Twilight analysis and theory: pure evil or tragic character?

Higanbana said other youkai than Marie used to be human so I’m pretty sure Sumire used to be human according to both her description

I think as a human Sumire lived around the time of the old school building, so before the current big school was built. She seemed to have been from a traditional Japanese tea ceremony family and was being bullied because of that. And it’s possible her way to cope with it is exactly what she told Yukari when she masquerade as Reiko, this twisted idea of an utopia where everyone is united by bullying one person. The bullied human Sumire coped with the cruel bullying she undergo by creating this idea of utopia, to bear with the pain by feeling like she was being part of this utopia and contributing to everyone happiness. But by acting that way as we saw when she acted as Reiko, the bullying probably got worst, and the bullies probably push it too far to the point she might have eventually died of it.

This might be why Sumire resent Yukari so much, because by rejecting bullying and Sumire’s utopia, she is indirectly rejecting what Sumire suffered for and her coping mecanism, so Sumire is desperate to force Yukari to be part of her utopia

If you create yourself a delusion to cope with a trauma you are likely to snap at whoever challenging itHiganbana is all about the vicious circle of bullying.

It all add up with the info we have and her actions when Yukari tries to convince Reiko to fight bullying with her. Reiko/Sumire seemed genuine confuse and really tried to convince Yukari to her point of view for a while before going full youkai on her. I really believe that it was the first time she had her views challenged and was really trying to get Yukari on her side so her utopia remained unchallenged. But when Yukari didn’t give up Sumire started getting more agressive and it’s only when Yukari realized Reiko isn’t human that Sumire tried to kill her, so we can assume that without that, she would have still try to convince Yukari. Later after Marie intervened, Sumire tried to blackmail Yukari into bullying her too and when she refused, she made the whole class bully Yukari. Sumire only wanted to protect her utopia at first rather than hurt Yukari. 

Sumire is, instead of simply a sadistic cruel youkai, a really messed up, potentially traumatized individual who genuinely thinks bullying is fun and enjoys being on both the giving and receiving end, for the sake of her twisted utopia who’s essentially a coping mechanism because she was herself bullied before becoming a youkai. 

Not sure where her “sister” Azami fits into this as I believe it was said they weren’t actual sisters but were born as youkai at the same time. So maybe Azami was a human too and they both had some kind of relationship has humans and they died and stick together as ghosts and both got reborn together as youkai. Maybe Azami was one of Sumire’s bullies. That sure would be fitting given their role as youkai.

Higurashi/Umineko: Bern and Lambda first fight

Hi there! Been a while I haven’t made a Umineko analysis. Well here I am back, and this time it will be about the connection between Higurashi and Umineko regarding Bernkastel and Lambdadelta fight.

We learned in Umineko that Bern and Lambda fought in a game in the past, that Lambda used to be the strongest witch in the world but lost her title to Bern when she defeated her. Many speculate that this fight was actually the event of Higurashi, with Rika as Bern’s piece and Takano as Lambda’s piece. I do believe it’s the case, but that the truth is more complex than that.

Let’s start with the connection between Lambdadelta and Takano Miyo. I do believe that Lambda is Takano witch form (well actually, Tanashi Miyoko witch form) but whether she is or not is irrelevant for this analysis, if you’re interested go see my Lambdadelta/Takano analysis. What mattered is that it is confirmed that Lambdadelta granted Takano as a child with the power of certainty. What does that mean for the Higurashi story? Well, it is what caused the event of Higurashi to happen Why? Because it is because of certainty if Takano kept winning and succeeding in killing Rika and basically everyone in Hinamizawa. And this certainty of winning caused the event of Higurashi to happen, since Rika’s goal is to survive and beat certainty.

So how does the game started? Well, I think Featherine started it. Well, not actually her. Remember when Lambda said that the device around her head contains her memory and that it was once broken and her appearance and personality changed, probably because she lost part of her memory. I believe she goes back to one of her previous life, which is Hanyuu. I’m going to talk more about it in a future analysis of Featherine and Hanyuu. So, the amnesiac-Featherine-now-Hanyuu met Rika and they become friends. But unfortunately, Rika died. Hanyuu probable used her power to go in another world (kakera) so she can be with Rika again. But because of Takano’s certainty to win, Rika continued to get killed and Hanyuu travels to another world again.

I believe that at some point Hanyuu realized that there was something supernatural about Rika’s constant death and eventually met Lambdadelta and decide to fight her in a game so Rika could remain alive. But she committed a logic error, which I think is claiming that Rika can survive, which is a logic error since certainty makes it 100% chances for Takano to win. But instead of solving the logic error herself, Hanyuu entrusted it to her piece Rika, who started keeping her memory of past worlds. This is I believe the logic error Bernkastel was trapped in, being forced to continue to same month until she finds a way to survive and create a miracle. This is the logic error she went through as a human and solve, thus becoming the witch of miracles. Lambda did they that the Game Master behind their fight was a bad one and put Bernkastel through her logic error, and in the manga it looks obvious that it’s Hanyuu. Rika won by making Takano doubt herself, thus losing her certainty, allowing her to reach a miracle and survive her fate. Bernkastel is born from all the worlds were Rika died and separate from Rika after her victory, becoming her own entity. This is how Bernkastel technically won a fight against Lambdadelta and become the strongest witch. Featherine probably regained her memory after that and made Bernkastel her miko and becoming her master.

So this is pretty much it. If you have any comment don’t hesitate to share, and I may work eventually on a Featherine/Hanyuu and Rika/Bernkastel analysis. Thanks for reading!
