Does someone have a summary of hellscreen?

[Hashley Hashbrowns]

I have so many theories about Ryōshū and some unusual behavior. Even her base ego. And the fact she had flowers on whose gonna die.

[NetMoverSitan]

I suspect that she angered ALL of the Fingers at once, even the Ring, the Finger that she's most attuned with, likely to do with an artwork involving something from the body of each of them, as for how that would tie into the source material...it's messy...that's all that I can say, we're talking about a psychotic blood knight with masochistic tenancies, I wouldn't be surprised if she signed up for FUN!

Have fun with this wikipedia summary:
""Hell Screen" is narrated by a mostly uninvolved servant who witnesses or hears of the events. The plot of "Hell Screen" centers on the artist Yoshihide. Yoshihide is considered “the greatest painter in the land”,[4] and is often commissioned to create works for the Lord of Horikawa, who also employs Yoshihide's daughter in his mansion, and is rumoured to be taking her as his mistress. When Yoshihide is instructed to create a folding screen depicting the Buddhist hell, he proceeds to inflict tortures upon his apprentices, so he can see what he is trying to paint. Supernatural forces seem to be present; one time, Yoshihide speaks in a devilish voice. Throughout the story Yoshihide seeks to get his daughter back from his employer, but is refused. One night the servant is dragged by the monkey into a room where he finds the daughter recovering from what appears to be an attempted rape. The monkey thanks him for saving her with a servile gesture. She refuses to name her abuser. The story climaxes when Yoshihide asks the lord to burn a beautiful lady in a carriage so he can finish the screen, as he claims he can only paint what he has seen. The lord concedes, but, in a macabre twist, Yoshihide must watch as his daughter and her monkey who rushes to be with her are the ones who burn. The story ends with the magnificently horrible screen completed, and Yoshihide's suicide by hanging. "

Thanks. My theory is that ryoshu has something to do with the pinky. Maybe killed off some boss stated in the meaning of her name. Maybe her own daughter was apart of the pinky and killed her for goals of art. And the daughter is kept alive to suffer for that. Maybe painting something against ryoshu. Another is that odachi of hers. She keeps it sheathed and to her ego theres corpse flowers on the ground with her holding her sword while sleeping.I'm thinking of something twisted but i just believe that she has to be some sort of antagonist or something. Who knows. But I'll probably add more because my brain is distracted and I'm in class

More likely she had something to do with those mad artists of the Ring. She does have a preoccupation with art, much as they do and insanity when it comes to that is an occupational hazard.

Yeah but she thinks their art is lacking. My difference is she likes violence as an art but ring chooses art through violence. She ♥♥♥♥ talked them in canto 6.
I just don't think she has anything to do with the ring but only the pinky. Which everyone is afraid of somehow.

I don't know why people aren't talking about this more. The wiki mentions it in passing, and some video made before Limbus Company came out touches on it. "It" and "this" refer, of course, to the following:

"Ryoshu" is a homophone of the Japanese equivalent of "Lord." One of Hell Screen's more challenging aspects isn't the horror Yoshihide inflicts in the name of art; it's the fact that he's only doing any of it in the first place because his patron, the Lord of Horikawa, is paying him to. The servant narrating the story makes a big deal about Yoshihide having a twisted personality, but what kind of man must the Lord of Horikawa be if he's not only paying him to paint a depiction of Hell, but also enabling and encouraging him to murder and torture in the name of finishing that painting? It's shown quite well, despite the servant's glazing, that the Lord of Horikawa is an inveterate sadist, while Yoshihide is at worst ruthless and amoral in pursuit of his art.

So the way I see it, there are three possibilities:
- Ryoshu is based on the Lord of Horikawa rather than Yoshihide. Ryoshu, like the Lord of H., revels in carnage and suffering; what else could possess a man to commission a screen depicting Hell?
- Ryoshu is a fusion of the Lord of H. and Yoshihide, which could work, since they were both enabling each other in the first place, and her characterization certainly combines Yoshihide's artistic obsession and the Lord of H.'s unabashed sadism.
- Ryoshu's Canto is going to feature an antagonist even more sadistic than her, Cassetti, or Garion. I really hope this isn't what happens, because Garion's sadism already bordered on cartoonish, and Cassetti was the entire Saturday morning programming block.

That's a bit of a stretch. Not that she angered the Ring, but that she's attuned with them. Criticizing someone in the Ring is enough to get them to attack (even if the critic's another member), and she wasn't shy about telling three Ring members what she thought of their art; it probably wasn't the first time she'd done so.

She likely thinks that she can do better than them.

As for the Pinky, that might make more sense, although they seem more like masochists (based on the ZAYIN E.G.O. image) and she's hinted at being one by Vergilius hinting that what he threatened to do is something that only Ryoshu will enjoy.

I suspect that she tried each of the Fingers (in the Middle's case, before she had her first tattoo) and considered them to be lacking in some way.

Even though it hints at her having at least masochistic tendencies? She's certainly a psychotic blood knight.
