== The goofy parts of the game slip into The Dreaming. ==
As per the original ''[[Changeling: The Dreaming (Tabletop Game)|Changeling: The Dreaming]]'' with a dash of [[Neil Gaiman]]. Neco Arc, Neco Arc Chaos and G. Akiha are dream spirits ("Chimera") and the maids, Miyako and Satsuki are Changelings. Yes, Satsuki is one of the unholy combinations, a [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie|vampirized Fey who kept her glamour-sensing ability.]] Thus cannot really be seen by those without the Sight. However, all of the business with Black Len, the Tatari, and White Len has more or less infused everyone with the Dreaming whether they can see it or not; so said Changelings dream glamour actually works on <s>normal people</s> non-fey without penalty; hence their [[Power Creep, Power Seep]].
* The Tatari, btw, is a vampire turned dream chimera on steroids, and thus anyone can see or be affected by it once it reaches the height of power.
 
Line 7:
He originally wanted to become a Phenomenon in order to create the power to defy Fate; by randomizing the dice through chaos enough; a scenario could present itself that could defy the inevitable destruction he foresaw. Even if that chaos created monster upon monsters; eventually because chaos cannot be predicted it would result in a beneficial purpose as well.
* This is likewise why Aoko restored this factor through creating White Len with his ashes; she's trying to create the ability to defy Fate as well.
** In fact, the Chaos effect of the Tatari is why Melty Blood's "Satsuki Arc" is possible at all. Everyone's destinies from ''[[Tsukihime]]'' have been altered. ''Kagetsu Tohya'' stated that in dreams, all [[Alternate Universe]] occur simultaneously. ''[[Melty Blood (Video Game)|Melty Blood]]'' was born from that nexus.
 
 
Line 16:
* This was at the same time as; for some bizarre reason Tatari tried to do something similar to Miyako; but Miyako is too innocent to ''have'' any strong nightmares; and it's weakened state after the Kohaku attempt gave Miyako kung-fu powers instead. Just like Shiki; she imagined Kohaku's intelligence as "[[Mad Scientist]] / [[Wicked Witch]]". After this Tatari just went after more traditional targets.
** Of course, this means that ''the Tatari lives on in Kohaku'' Even after they defeat Oberon, White Len or Dust; Kohaku is struggling with her piece. Yes, struggling. Remember, her trauma was becoming [[Stepford Smiler|"The Doll"]] who took up the appearance of Hisui as a child; turned deadly. ...Mecha-Hisui. See the symbolism? And in Mecha-Hisui's ending; it always takes control.
*** [[I Knew It!]]. The [[Melty Blood (Video Game)|Melty Blood]] Act Two manga has Ciel commenting on how Kohaku is a Yorishiro for Tatari. A Shinto term for an object or being that can attract and host a spirit.
 
== Kohaku knows the Tatari is trying to control her. ==
Line 25:
Literal [[Power Born of Madness]] with a smidge of [[Demonic Possession]]? Ding ding ding ding! The demon that tried to possess her happened to be a piece of the Tatari, and she pushed it into Mecha-Hisui. This odd synergy gives her the ability to function.
 
== Riesbyfe is a [[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)night|Lancer Servant.]] ==
So the Dust of Osiris, {{spoiler|using Sion's memories and the Philosopher's Stone}} and a whole lot of [[Magi Babble]]; reanimated the spirit memory of Reisbyfe; but she needs a constant flow of [[Mana]]. And she's immune to [[Time Paradox]]. Gee, this sounds awfully familiar. Okay, what really happened was that Dust looked around at [[Alternate Universe]] and noted the Grail ritual; and through alchemy cobbled together her own version of a Servant and just threw the rest of the ritual away.
 
== [[Melty Blood (Video Game)|Melty Blood]] is a [[Fighting Game]] because of Miyako's Wish. ==
Okay, so Miyako was "too pure" for the Tatari to corrupt her dreams. And this...somehow gave her [[I Know Karate|Kung Fu skills.]] However; in addition, this gave ''everyone'' Kung Fu skills, and it restricted battles to straight one-on-one battles where nobody took full advantage of subterfuge and trickery in direct fights nor did anyone make a wider range of battlefield. This is because this is how a Japanese child views fighting; ala ''[[King of Fighters]]''. (Arcueid pulled off her "Moon" stunt when she ''wasn't'' in a "Fight Zone.")
 
Line 35:
* That would also nicely explain why she never manifests {{spoiler|her third personality}}. Gaia has no power over THAT.
 
== If Shiki Ryougi kills Archetype:Earth, this will herald the death of Gaia, and the beginning of [[Angel Notes (Literature)|Angel Notes]]. ==
Since Gaia hasn't been able to create a Type itself, it gave the role to Crimson Moon/Arcueid. Given the multiple [[Alternate Reality]] nature of the endings, this is probably not the [[Canon]] ending.
 
Line 42:
 
== ''OUR'' rumour spreading of the "Satsuki Arc" is what caused it to suddenly manifest ==
And I don't mean in the normal way, either. You see, after [[Tsukihime]] came out, people kept wondering why Satsuki kept getting the shaft and, somehow, the postulation that she must have an incredibly awesome arc of her own, the "Satsuki Arc", became a rumour. However, at the time, it was clear that such a thing was not going to be. Yet, the rumours persisted, taking on a life of their own. When [[Melty Blood (Video Game)|Melty Blood]] came around and TATARI came into being, something changed. As stated above and in ''Kagetsu Tohya'', in dreams all alternative timelines happen all at once. So, obviously, the collective 'dream' of a "Satsuki Arc" made contact with TARTARI during some point between [[Melty Blood (Video Game)|Melty Blood]]'s release and now. During that contact, TATARI made the malignant rumour, "Satsuki Arc" into a TATARI avatar, allowing it to come into existience here.
 
Of course, if this was true, it means that the "Satsuki Arc" is going to be [[Cosmic Horror|bad]]. [[It Got Worse|Really]] [[Ax Crazy|really]] '''[[Murder the Hypotenuse|BAD]]'''
* And this would mean many, many fans of the game have had contact with TATARI and as a result, a secret batch of [[The Corruption]], possibly his backup plan. Things are about to get [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It|really...really...]] '''''[[Cosmic Horror|bad]]'''''.
 
== Sion is a [[Covert Pervert]] ==
Line 51:
One wonders whether [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/take_moon/v01/c009/11.html this behavior] is that much out of character.
