How would Battler fare in the DC and Marvel universes?
How would Battler fare in the DC and Marvel universes?

Carter Thomas
Goes over completely unnoticed, because he's an ordinary human. GTFO.
Connor Edwards
>ordinary human.
Stop lying to yourself, Battler.
Christian King
Battler objectively ceases to be purely human after he ascends as the Endless Sorceror. That's a truth that even he can't deny.
Lincoln Davis
In the ending of Manga, Battler is confirmed to be ordinary human without any power.
Andrew Edwards
Pretty certain there's probably soem context missing there, unless you can give me a page or two. Whilst Battler certainly lacks any inherent power on his own, Endless Nines is literally representative of his ability to lie to himself so hard that he can reject anything that doesn't fit his definition of reality. On top of being a dirty thief pilfering powerful weapons like Red Keys to keep himself alive.
Aiden Davis
Read last chapter of manga.
It is confirmed that Battler and Ikuko are authors of fake story and still ordinary humans without any power.
Asher Taylor
Eh, I find the canonicity of the manga questionable to begin with in most every instance. And this really doesn't change much at all, given we know Umineko runs on weird meta-narrative at every level of it. If anything, it's probably just another look at what the setting could be like.
I could probably go on a whole rant about the weird metanarrative nature of Umineko as a whole, but I feel like that might take too long.
Nicholas Thompson
weebs who think that umineko characters are "obscenely powerful" didn't understand the fucking point of the story.
why do you think r07 gives the reader the option to say "nah, all that magic shit is fake" anyways?
Isaac Ortiz
>why do you think r07 gives the reader the option to say "nah, all that magic shit is fake" anyways?
It's just another option to the story being told. Most everyone treats the cosmic magic stuff as being real, anyways. Especially when Higurashi is set in the same setting and proves that not only is magic real, but provides us with Bernkastel's origins.
At the end of the day though, it's all just a story on one of the shelves of the City of Books, penned by Featherine.
Oliver Nguyen
Ryukishi said something along the lines of "the manga contains the OFFICIAL answers" but Ryukishi is also a known yarn-spinner, so take whatever he says with a pinch of salt.
Noah Reed
Bernkastel in Higurashi is not Bernkastel in Umineko, they only share the same name. The VN makes it pretty clear that Frederica Bernkastel is a name that Rika manufactured (from a wine she knew of). RIka basically uses this "persona" to represent the overall collective consciousnesses of essentially all Rikas & their failures to beat fate.
Higurashi as a story is all about relying on others in order to overcome your problems.
Umineko as a story started out as a metafiction on the mystery genre, but then BT died & R07 went crazy.
Jaxson Taylor
>weebs who think that umineko characters are "obscenely powerful" didn't understand the fucking point of the story.
I personally think that whilst making Umineko purely about powerlevels isn't really what the story is about, it's quite clear on several levels that r07 simply likes big cosmic and abstract fights himself. There's literally no reason for the Witches to be as powerful as they are or to spend multiple encounters with the Voyagers establishing how hard they shit on everyone else otherwise. Like seriously, the three big encounters with Bern are basically just her breaking or outright ignoring all the known rules and proceeding to completely smack around everyone to amuse herself.

>Umineko as a story started out as a metafiction on the mystery genre, but then BT died & R07 went crazy.
BT dying pretty much drove R07 into the heights of madness. I dont think he's ever recovered.
Parker Myers
At first I thought with him writing Higanabana he was coming to terms with BT's death, but there's still something off, imo
Andrew Sanchez
Higanabana still has the same signs of all kinds of issues as literally everything he's written following BT's death. Which seems to be the major reason why he's never written anything even half as long as Umineko or Higurashi since.
Jackson Turner
isn’t this the visual novel with all that femdom
John Stewart
You tell me.
Liam Torres
>Battler says "magic isn't real."
>Immediately disproves the whole existence of Marvel and DC
Putting a walking talking mass of infinite antimagic into settings that very much run on it seems like a bad idea.
Ryan Jenkins
>Bernkastel in Higurashi is not Bernkastel in Umineko, they only share the same name.
I'm pretty certain the Bernkastel in Umineko is a result of all the various torture and shitty timelines from Higurashi. They're fundamentally the same overall setting, even if the characters are extremely separated.
Levi Ortiz
>Higanbana
I like the manga
Easton Sanders
But why
Brody Ross
Godamnit Ryukishi.
Lucas Powell
Because Magic isn't real.
Easton Thomas
God bless the nips
Xavier Watson
It's probably saying something that he somehow increased in degeneracy following BT's passing.
Eli Hernandez
>Protagonist of a murder mystery
>Doesn't solve any murder mystery
???
Eli Ramirez
Higurashi begs to differ
Brody Diaz
He solves a bunch of mysteries, user. It's just that after the first episode or so, it goes from "simple murder case" to "horrible eldritch gods are fucking with the multiverse. Find out why."
And after the third big face-off with Bern, he's technically solved every mystery scenario conceivable, so there's little more for him TO solve. DC and Marvel might actually provide something for him to focus on after all the Witch stuff.
Aiden Price
*AHEM*
BATTLER
