Line 1:
{{work}}
* Any time Shiki's [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], Nanaya, makes an appearance. Without fail, something will die, and in a very awesome way. The manga seems particularly fond of this.
** At one point, he gets pissed at some zombies pinning down Arc because she's ''his'' woman--if anyone's going to molest her, it's going to be ''him''. *slice and dice*
** Shiki's fight with Nero, an already noteworthy event from the [[Visual Novel]] made even more awesome by the emphasis on Nanaya-mode. Collapsed on the ground and surrounded by demonic familiars about to devour him, he snaps, shredding everything around him and laughing crazily as their blood rains down upon him.
{{quote|'''Nanaya Shiki:''' "You wanna kill me, monster? Very well. Come on, then, let's kill each other... Nero Chaos."}}
** Unless it involves chairs. Then it's just a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]
Line 19:
** 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.
*** Killing the universe is explicitly impossible for Shiki Tohno. It ''is'', however, perfectly possible for {{spoiler|[[
** 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
* [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."
Line 28:
** Or is it? This is [[Mind Screw|Kagetsu Tohya]] we're talking about here...
*** It is, he's referring to Kohaku's route, in which Shiki talks down SHIKI by telling him hes a much better killer in what appears to be a dream...until he wakes up in the morning with blood on his hands.
* The fight against the Tatari with the appearance of poor Satsuki in the manga of "Melty Blood": Especially the point, where Tatari!Satsuki managed to pin Shiki down and punched the cr... his blood out of him! ...Until it realized that Shiki wasn´t under it anymore and the blood on its hand didn´t belong to Shiki... And then its arm already fell off...
* It has to be said. As bad as the anime adaptation was, and as out-of-character as it would be for [[Chick Magnet|Shiki]] to sit there and take it, [[Our Vampires Are Different|Arcueid]], [[Church Militant|Ciel]], and [[Half-Human Hybrid|Akiha]] getting into a verbal catfight over him makes perfect sense...but it's the fact that ''[[Only Sane Man|Satsuki]]'' finally jumps out of her seat and tells them all to shut up, sit down, and leave Shiki the hell alone (which they ''do'', possibly out of shock) that feels oddly satisfying. Go {{spoiler|non-vampire}} Sacchin!
* The most awesome thing Roa ever does is in the Ciel Good Ending, where Shiki (who has almost been entirely taken over by Roa) dot-stabs ''himself'' in a last-ditch effort to kill Roa (two souls fighting over one body means that his ability can kill off either of them, leaving his body for the remaining one). He collapses and has a vision of an unknown man reading a book. When Shiki asks him if the book is interesting, the man smiles and tells him that nothing was interesting at all, then gets up and walks away. Shiki tells him he forgot his book and the man replies that he doesn't need it anymore, so Shiki asks where he is going and the man responds that he was never anywhere to begin with, and fades away as the book's pages scatter and disappear. The scene is so awesome, it changes your entire perception on Roa that you had throughout the game. It really is a quite a profound scene.
Line 44:
* 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.]]
* Shiki instinctively turning into assassin-mode near the beginning of the game upon first encountering Arc, stalking her back to her apartment and then slicing her into 17 pieces in a perfectly-executed surprise attack. (She gets better.)
* Shiki's "what you and I see are totally different" speech to the [[Big Bad]] at the end of Arc's route, which manages to terrify the villain even though Shiki had been losing the fight up to that point. And then Shiki proves his point by {{spoiler|''killing the hallway''—thus burying his opponent in the rubble—then running down to finish him off}}.
* Shiki fighting {{spoiler|a berserker Arc}} at the end of Ciel's route by {{spoiler|killing a part of ''the Earth itself'' to disconnect Arc from her power}}.
* Don't forget near the end of Hisui's arc, {{spoiler|Akiha slaughtering SHIKI}}
* ''Any'' time [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Nanaya]] shows up makes the scene pure awesome.
** Seriously, having a Nanaya personality could even make [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji]] a [[Badass]] [[Heroic Sociopath]] who every fan roots for. Hell, [[The Scrappy|Jar Jar Binks]] could have a shot of being classified as epic with a Nanaya self.
*** * brief vision of Jar Jar Binks pulling off a successful [[There Was a Door|surprise attack by using the previously-unsliced chunk of a wall]] as a shield/bludgeoning weapon; resultant temporary blindness*
* The [[My Nayme Is|Nrvnqsr]] fight.
* Kohaku, at the end of the Hisui arc {{spoiler|when it turns out that the happenings of pretty much ''the entire game'' were all part of her [[Evil Plan|big plan]] to kill off the entire Tohno family. And then commits suicide right in front of the man she's secretly been in love with for years.}}
