Tsukihime/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

* [[Evil Eye]]: his defining ability; the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception allow him to perceive the nature of death as lines and dots over ''everything''. Basically, he can kill ''anything'' under Gaia with a fruit knife.

* [[Enemy Without]]: {{spoiler|Nanaya. In addition, TATARI creates a copy of Shiki Tohno to fight Ryougi in MBAA. That Shiki, while being more mellow and true to Shiki's personality, is not really hesitant to use his Eyes.}}

* [[Expy]]: he's very similar in looks and personality to Mikiya Kokutou (and is voiced [[Kenichi Suzumura|by the same guy]]), and his power is similar to Shiki Ryougi's and they both got that power from traffic accidents (they share the same given name too). Both are characters from ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]'', an earlier Nasu work.

** He actually takes after Ryougi more than he seems. While his "default" persona is most similar to Kokutou, his "stoic" mode is very similar to Ryougi's personality. Interestingly, the way he behaves around Arihiko is rather similar to how Ryougi behaves around Kokutou.

* [[Future Badass]]: His possible future as [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/melty_blood_act_2/c007.8/13.html Satsujinki], who can assassinate Dead Apostles in [[HSQ|SECONDS]].

Line 62:

* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Although he's been shown to have casual clothes in Tsukihime, in all subsequent media, he is only shown wearing his school uniform. Which is all well and good because frankly, he looks good in it and his casual clothes are hideous anyway.

* [[Sociopathic Hero]]: {{spoiler|his Nanaya personality.}}

* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. And [[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Ryougi's]] are even worse. The boy makes [[Dragon Ball|Goku]] look balanced. Sequels/spinoffs have had trouble coming up with ways to legitimately challenge him: He doesn't want to kill his 'opponent' in Kagetsu Tohya and can't use them for 95% of the story anyway and Wallachia is a unique existence that can't be properly killed at all except under very special circumstances. There's even a [[Word of God]] statement out saying that he can't kill the top Dead Apostle Ancestor simply because it views death differently!

* {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Shiki Nanaya}}

* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet|Taking The Knife Stab]]: As a child, Shiki shielded Akiha from newly-inverted SHIKI's knife, and would have died if not for Akiha giving him half of her life force.}}

Line 258:

* [[Cry Cute]]

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Laugh|Evil]] [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Do Vermilion Akiha's Last Arc in ''Actress Again'' to hear this.}}

* [[Expy]]: In looks if not personality of Azaka Kokutou from ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]''. Both characters share connections to [[Brother-Sister Incest]].

** As if [[Foreshadowing]], during her Summer Festival sidestory in Kagetsu Tohya she wears her hair in pigtails very similar to [[Fate/stay night|Rin Tohsaka]].

* [[Flanderization]]: In Tsukihime, Akiha mentions that she's self-conscious about her flat chest during an [[Hentai|h-scene]]. In Kagetsu Tohya, this is turned into a [[Berserk Button]]. Doujin authors and other fanworks have since then run with the idea to the point of it becoming an [[Overused Running Gag]].

Line 349:

* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: In Hisui's routes. In Hisui's Good Ending, she survives, but loses her memory. It's implied she lost her memory on purpose.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Emotionless Girl]]}}

* [[Expy]]: Of Fujino Asagami from ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]''. {{spoiler|Both women belong to families in the Demon Hunters' Association; both have gone through [[Rape as Backstory|the same horrible experience]], and both [[Feel No Pain]] (though for different reasons). Their stories' [[Name's the Same|Shikis]] also end up killing "something bad" within their bodies using their respective [[Evil Eye|Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]]: Fujino's terminal appendicitis and Kohaku's ingested poison.}}

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* {{spoiler|[[Feel No Pain]]: One of the first indications that Kohaku is a [[Stepford Smiler]] is when she cuts herself and doesn't realize she should attempt to bandage it in front of Shiki. Note that this is a psychological block more than a lack of nerve endings or anything physical. It's so effective that Kohaku claims she feels no pain even after ''stabbing herself'' in the ''heart'' and slowly bleeding to death.}}

Line 502:

----

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: To [[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Touko]]. There is little love between the two sisters.

Line 618:

* [[Enemy Without]]

* [[~~Lampshaded~~ ~~Double~~ ~~Entendre~~]]: Nanaya is afraid he 'spanked' White Len too much when he wins a battle against her. And muses whom is the 'master' in their relationship.

* [[If You Know What I Mean]]: Nanaya is afraid he 'spanked' White Len too much when he wins a battle against her. And muses whom is the 'master' in their relationship.

* [[Stealth Mentor]]: It is implied that Master Panda, Miyako's fighting instructor, is actually Nanaya in disguise (speaking with the same voice in ''[[Carnival Phantasm]]'', the symbol for "Nanatsu-yoru" on his back, their tagteam name in ''Act Cadenza'' is "The Long Road of the Panda," etc.)

* [[The Stoic]]: Nanaya never gets angry at anyone, kills calmly and cooly, and enjoys it with the satisfaction of a spider eating a fly.

Line 753:

* [[The Chew Toy]]

* [[Fat Bastard]]

* [[~~Upperclass~~ Twit]]

* [[Upper Class Twit]]

== Melty Blood ==

Line 1,020:

* {{spoiler|[[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: She was animated to protect Dust of Osiris.)}}

* [[Posthumous Character]]: She was member of the Church and mentioned as a companion of Sion's in the group that was sent to try to stop Tatari, and died trying to buy her time to escape. Sion was extremely close to her, and kept a memento of her at all times. {{spoiler|Then she appears in ''Actress Again'', reanimated by the Dust of Osiris.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: In sixth chapter of ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]'', the headmaster of Reien Girl's Academy is stated to be "Mother Riesbyfe" and mentioned to have a large string instrument case in her office.

Shiki Ryougi from ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' makes a [[Guest Fighter|special]] [[Crossover|appearance]] in Melty Blood: Actress Again. For a proper writeup, please consult the ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' [[Karano Kyoukai/Characters|characters page]]. Shiki is explicitly stated in Melty Blood to have come from [[Alternate Universe|another universe]] (thus confirming that ''[[~~Karano~~ Kyoukai|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' and ''[[Tsukihime]]/MeltyBlood'' are in different universes, if it isn't simply the [[Shrug of God]] used for most [[Guest Fighter|Guest Fighters]] and crossovers to avoid canonically linking stories). {{spoiler|She was apparently brought there by Archetype: Earth, and her story mode ends with the two of them starting to fight.}}
