''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 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.
* [[SchrodingersSchrödinger'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.
