Tsukihime/Awesome: Difference between revisions

** Let's not forget how Akiha wtfpwned {{spoiler|SHIKI}} in the end of Hisui route. If only she had those mad killing skills ready in her own route... ;_;

*** You don't call {{spoiler|Vermillion Akiha ripping SHIKI apart}} to be mad killing skills?

* The ''Prelude'' side story begins with Satsujinki--a future Shiki whose eyes have grown too strong for his glasses to contain, thus forcing him to cover them in bandages--killing a DAA so silently and efficiently that ''he doesn't even realize he's dead until it's too late''. This is made all the better by the fact that a group of mages had been preparing for months on end to attack the DAA, but Satsujinki just literally ''walked in overnight'' and killed him undetected.

** He's also in the ''[http://www.mediafire.com/file/m1izidtwdmn/Plus_Period_-_Talk.pdf Talk]'' side story (uploaded to link), where he (and Ciel, they met up by coincidence) ''kills a living forest Dead Apostle'' (off-screen) to get the blood-fruit in the middle for Arcueid, whose hunger is starting to overpower her. While in the forest, he forces a mage/swordswoman who can go toe-to-toe with the Burial Agency to run away ''just by looking at her''.

** The limits of his ability have been argued to ridiculous levels at [http://nrvnqsr.proboards20.com/index.cgi Beast's Lair]. General consensus is that, while he wouldn't be able to safely kill anything outside of or greater than Gaia's cycle (non-Gaia beings = vastly different concepts of death), he is still the ultimate hax.

** General consensus nothing, that's part of things stated by [[Word of God]] about Shiki not being able to kill thing's like ORT because it's not part of gaia and thus immune to the gaian order of death. And even within Gaia, there are things that are immune to his eyes ala Arcuied under a full moon or Tatari in phenomenon form.

** On the [[Order of the Stick]] forums, on one of the vs. threads, I forget which Shiki it was, but s/he managed to ''solo the '''entire [[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40k]] universe'''''.

* [http://nrvnqsr.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=walk&action=display&thread=3214&page=1 The Tohno Family Con Game], fan-made but included in ''Kagetsu Tohya''. Basically a giant Crowning Moment for Kohaku, who gets to [[Magnificent Bastard|scheme]] her way through a game of tag against mostly superpowered opponents.

** And a great [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. After the game is done, and Kohaku has collected her prizes, she's asked which one she liked best. "Memories of having fun with everyone."

* ''Kagetsu Tohya'' also provides belated characterization of SHIKI, who wasn't portrayed as sympathetic in the original game until the very end of Hisui's route or in a dream sequence during Kohaku's. In "Drinking, Dreaming Moon", Shiki and SHIKI are able to talk on friendly terms, and finally cry the tears they should have shed when they killed each other in a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Tear Jerker]].

** {{spoiler|That wasn't a dream sequence...That is the only route where Shiki really IS a killer for a time...}}

** Roa killing Arc causing Gaia to activate a fail-safe trigger, which brings back the original 100% Arcuied from all those centuries ago.

{{quote| Roa: Ha... this is it! This is what I wanted! 800 years ago, I HAD seen eternity! The princess of the moon, not fading even a bit since that moment! I present to you to the spectacle of the burning end of my 18th death, my final reincarnation! }}

{{quote| Nanaya: Oh, my bad. I tore open your throat so you can't talk now. Ah fuck, I can't see now. I've got too much blood pouring out now.}}

* [[Meido|Hisui]], surprisingly, and appropriately, gets one in her Good Ending. When she and Shiki go to try and help Akiha and Kohaku fight SHIKI, Kohaku takes advantage of the confusion to make herself a target, forcing Akiha to take a (hopefully fatal) blow to save her. This being the ''good'' ending, Akiha survives, and when Hisui recognizes what Kohaku was trying to do she ''finally'' loses it, telling Kohaku to quit fucking around and tend to Akiha's wounds while Shiki finishes SHIKI off. Then she gets a second one when she calls bullshit on Kohaku's [[Motive Rant]] to Shiki afterwards, both for attempting to get Akiha, the closest thing Kohaku has to a best friend, killed, and for claiming to hate Shiki [[It Makes Sense in Context|while using the personality she took from Hisui all those years ago]], since she could never hate Shiki. Her usual stoic character and being the only heroine to lack awesome combat powers or manipulating skills makes it all the more awesome to see her standing up to protect the people she cares about.

* Shiki and Ciel's [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment in the Alliance of Illusionary Eyes side story. Granted, Ciel's entirely offscreen, but just when the Fake Shiki's savoring his newest kill, pressing his knife to Seo Akira's chest, Ciel manages to knock his hand away with one of her Black Keys. Think about that: she just pulled off [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]] with ''[[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|throwing swords]]'' and managed not to harm the innocent. Then Shiki makes his presence known, sets the record straight on who's who, delivers a lecture on the nature of life and death rivaling the [[World of Cardboard Speech]] given to Roa, and then knocks out the impostor in one hit. To top it all off, Seo now has a huge crush on him after this, the first time they've actually met.

** Well, [[Chick Magnet|that's pretty much standard for Shiki.]]
