![]() We see her dive into Maria’s diary, which she got after her cousin’s death, and trying to escape her troubles by reading it and either believing in magic or just being delusional (it’s hard to tell in this series what is real and what isn’t). We see what ultimately happened to Ange after the events of the massacre and her struggles, dealing with a whole school that is against her and her trying to uncover the truth of what happened while avoiding her aunt. While Battler continues his fight with Beatrice to solve her mysteries and uncover the truth in yet another game cycle, Ange’s story brings both a breath of fresh air to liven up the ongoing story and a new perspective for which to look at things as she works in 1998 and alongside her brother (though I wish there was more of the two working together). Story and plot-wise, Alliance of the Golden Witch splits its focus between Battler and his now all grown up sister from 1998, Ange Ushiromiya. When I first read the storyline, I was blown away and reading it over a year later again, it still holds up so well. We also shift focus onto a different member of the family, change up the dynamics of the game between Beatrice and Battler even further, and dive into both the nature of magic itself and the darkness surrounding characters’ pasts. This is the storyline where we start to get answers about what had happened in past arcs, really messing with our perceptions further about what we thought was going on and calling into question many of the interactions between the characters. This fourth arc managed to up the ante even more - the shock and surprise increased ten fold. ![]() I said the third arc of Umineko caught me completely off guard. And thus, we begin the fourth brutal game… The Initial Impression Then one night, the Witch of Miracles, Bernkastel, appears before her with an opportunity to save her family… possibly. ![]() All she can do is read her cousin Maria’s old diary and escape through that, but even that’s not enough after a while. ![]() However, money and power cannot replace what she’s lost, nor can it help her escape the harsh, brutal reality she lives in. Twelve years have passed since Ange Ushiromiya lost almost all of her loved ones during an annual family reunion and now, she’s all alone and the sole heir to a vast fortune.
