Line 4: {{quote\|''April 1995. I met her.''}} ''~~Kara no Kyoukai:~~ '''The Garden of Sinners''''', known in Japan as ''Kara no Kyōkai'' (空の境界, literaly "Boundary of Emptiness", fan translations "The Edge of Emptiness"/ or "Empty Boundaries") and sometimes referred as ''Rakkyo'' (らっきょ), is a novel by [[Nasuverse\|Kinoko Nasu]] of TYPE-MOON/Notes fame; however, it was written before he became involved in the [[Visual Novel]] business. While considered by many to be the prototype of ''[[Tsukihime]]'', it is much, MUCH more complex, sometimes to the point of being [[Mind Screw]]. So much so that some people don't want to accept that they are related at all, other than the fact that they are made by the same people. Shiki Ryougi is a girl who grew up in a family imbued with supernatural powers. In particular, certain members possess something close to dual personalities; the "male" and "female" sides, who are aware of each other, are both conscious, and essentially the same person with different qualities. This dual consciousness combined with her upbringing has led her to reject other human beings. Line 55: * [[Agent Mulder]] - Akimi Daisuke, but he never actually finds anything. * [[Artificial Limbs]] - {{spoiler\|Ryougi Shiki}}'s left arm, which allows her to touch spirits. {{spoiler\|Her original was torn apart by Asagami Fujino.}} * [[An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost]]: {{spoiler\|The ghostly antagonist of the first chapter/movie turns out to be an out-of-body experience of a bedridden, blind girl named Fujou Kirie.}} * [[Audible Sharpness]] - Done to excess in the film adaptation. * [[Ax Crazy]] - To an extent, Ryougi Shiki, although she's more knife crazy. Cornelius Alba is a whole lot of crazy, but with sorcery instead of an axe. {{spoiler\|Lio Shirazumi}} is around five thousand different kinds of crazy, Ax Crazy being one of them. Line 81: * [[Convenient Coma]] - A big part of the overarching story; what led to and what happens during the coma, and the repercussions after the awakening. * [[Cool Old Guy]] - Akitaka, the Ryougi manservant. * [[~~Cross Dresser~~Crossdresser]] / [[Villainous Crossdresser]] - {{spoiler\|In the 7th chapter, Lio Shirazumi styles his hair like Ryogi's, and wears a dress to resemble her. It also doesn't help the fact that he's batshit insane. The fact that he looks downright frightening in a rather silly looking skirt says ''a lot''.}} * [[Cursed with Awesome]] * [[A Day in the Limelight]] - The sixth movie puts side character Azaka in the spotlight. Line 145: ** Not only that, but in the original novels, he still had a considerable lifespan left ''after Shiki pierces him in his death dot.'' That's typical [[Nasuverse]] logic - the longer something has existed and the more magically powerful, the longer it will take to "die" completely when killed. There's some Dead Apostle Ancestors who have been dead for ''millennia'' and still exist. * [[No Cure for Evil]] - Subverted, Araya is very good at healing, he repairs Fujino's cracked vertebrae and restores her sense of feeling. Yes, this is an ''evil'' act. [[And I Must Scream\|Araya knows good and well why...]] * [[No Export for You]] - It ''[[Hope Spot\|looked]]'' like this might be averted when Del Rey Manga announced they were going to publish the novels (which stopped the [[Fan Translation]]). However, this was announced in ''2008''. [[Vaporware\|As of this writing, it's 2011.]] One enterprising fan wrote an e-mail and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130910153517/http://nrvnqsr.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=walk&thread=4204&page=5#411902 got this is as response]. As for the movies...well the the new edition will have English subtitles, at least! And now [http://www.animenewsnetwork.~~com~~cc//news/2010-12-13/aniplex-usa-adds-kara-no-kyoukai-the-garden-of-sinners Aniplex USA has announced] that they are going to release the entire movie series in a boxset... with a price of $400 without an English dub. * And the Japanese fans need to pay this for around ''$620''. The American fans are ''luckier.'' *** Meanwhile, in Germany: All movies are dubbed. Combined they cost 7 cents short of 175 €, that's currently 230,30 $. Guess we lucked out with our import. Line 186: * [[Tranquil Fury]] * [[Tomboyish Name]] - The "Shiki" in Ryougi Shiki is a neutral name, hence Tohno Shiki of [[Tsukihime]]. * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] - Shiki does this ''twice'' against Araya Souren. What's more badass than regular Shiki? That would be {{spoiler\|Shiki with a sword}}. And what's even more badass than that? {{spoiler\|Shiki's third personality}}. ** Rumor has it that {{spoiler\|Shiki's skill with the sword is just on par with Fujimura Taiga from [[Fate/stay night]]. But then again Shiki has her [[Evil Eye\|eyes]]... but wait, what if [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass\|Taiga became Shiki]]?}} * [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Bottled water, of all things, for Shiki (it's the only thing we ever see in her fridge). She says multiple times that she hates sweet food. Line 193: ** All things considered, he might as well be considered a [[Badass Normal]]. * [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] - Averted. There are several times when Shiki is described like one, but she's really just a [[Dissonant Serenity\|Dissonantly Serene]] [[Blood Knight]] [[Knife Nut]]. * [[~~:Category:Yandere\|~~Yandere]] - Shiki for the trifecta! ** She's actually been labeled by Nasu as ''tsun'''gire''''', which seems to fit particularly well. For the non-Japanese speakers out there, that's tsun (cold, aloof) and [[Cute and Psycho\|gire]] (cut), which is indeed quite appropriate. Line 242: * [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] - Kokutou, of all people. Granted, {{spoiler\|he's being told how one of his former friends and his buddies abused Fujino}}, so he's disgusted. * [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler\|'' "I... don't want to die... I want to live more... I want to feel more... I want to talk with him more... I want to love him more... I want to be here longer... I don't want... to die... Oh it hurts... It Hurts so bad I want to cry... Can I cry?" ''}} * [[~~:Category:~~Yandere\|Yangire]]: Although just as dangerous as Shiki is, Fujino remains one of the more sympathetic examples of this trope in anime. ---- Line 316: * [[The Ojou]]: Ouji Misaya. * [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Implied of Ouji and Tachibana. * [[~~Schrodingers~~Schrödinger's Cat]]: {{spoiler\|Tachibana dies in the novel and lives in the movie.}} * [[Shout-Out]]: Azaka mentions she's dogsitting for her roommate Seo. Keen Nasuverse fans will assume she means Seo Akira, Akiha's friend in ''[[Tsukihime\|Kagetsu Tohya]]''. {{spoiler\|When we get to see her at the end of the film, she does indeed appear to be a tously-haired [[Expy]], although she's evidently not the same one - the DOG'S name is Akira.}} ** In addition, the headmistress of the Reien Girls' Academy is mentioned to be one Mother [[Melty Blood\|Riesbyfe, who has a large stringed instrument case]] in her office.
