It's no secret that this song has caused us a lot of problems in the past. Old, outdated translations and vague lyrics without a PV have made this wiki make several adjustments to interperting it's information over time. Since the following is going to be a decently major change, it's best I compose this announcement to explain the reasoning.

Our current information has it set that Gammon is the Gardener in this song and that he said he'd entrust his body to the MotG, although she planned to eventually eat him.

Now there have been numerous comments about how odd and stupid Gammon sounds for doing this and so this meritted some investigation. Looking at our latest translations of CF, we pointed out the two major pieces of information:

MotG

'' Although publicly obeying Ma, t he deceiving woman is planning something wicked behind the scenes. ''

Ma

''She is the previous Gardener. ''

Now these profiles mostly just recap information from the past songs and, besides Gammon's, none really add too much new information that wasn't already available in previous songs. So why was this information pertinent? Keeping this in mind, the lyrics for Master of the Graveyard have been reexamined and what do you know:

庭師の野望　それも一興 今はこの身を　委ねてやろう いつかあいつも　胃袋の中 腹黒い魔女（おんな）　悪食娘

There are no quotes in the lyrics, making the previously available fan subs having added that assuming it was quote said by the Gardener. That's a mistake on our part. So taking the information from CF and the information from MotG's lyrics in mind, we have retranslated them to keep this context in mind (pronouns filled in with [ ]), yielding:

The Gardener's ambition is also amusing

[She'll] yield [herself] for now

Someday/in time, [she] too will be inside [her] stomach

A scheming/wicked witch, the Evil Food Eater

While the above translation may vary, the meaing should still remain close with the two characters, Ma and MotG, in mind. Ma is much more understandable, given the hints surrounding her, to have ambition and it makes much more sense that the CF profiles would reference this song, than if it was Gammon stupidly trusting the MotG not to eat him.

For this reason, we will now assume the Gardener is Ma and that Gammon never entrusted himself to the MotG. At the same time, this all means any reference to Gammon having a hidden ambition must now solely come from the only song he has been in: Capriccio Farce.

That is all.
