Tsukihime: Difference between revisions

Shiki Tohno was involved in a major accident in his childhood. Miraculously, he survived, albeit with a weakened body and no memory of the incident or much of the rest of his past. However, when he awoke in the hospital, crooked lines covered everything, from his own body to his bed to the other doctors. He quickly discovered that anything could be destroyed with ease, simply by cutting along those lines. It seemed like the world was in danger of crumbling around him... He would have gone insane had he not come across a mysterious self-styled sorceress, who gave him glasses that hid the "lines of death" and allowed him to live a normal life. Following the incident, Shiki was sent away from the main household to live with a branch family, while his sister was raised as the new heir.

 

 

 

 

Takes place in the [[Nasuverse]].

** Hell, just name a character. Most likely that character does [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|something incredibly badass]] at some point in the Tsukihime-Kagetsu Tohya-[[Melty Blood]] timeline. Not even [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Satsuki]] is immune. Hell, even ''[[Those Two Guys|Arihiko]]'' arguably manages this in ''Kagetsu Tohya''.

** Akira was ballsy enough to criticize potential serial killers in public, and Souka proved herself completely immune to the [[Chick Magnet|Tohno gland]]. That's gotta count for something.

* [[Badass Normal]]: in ''Kagetsu Tohya'' with [[Enemy Without|Nanaya Shiki]] (the Shiki who would have been had ''[[Tsukihime]]'''s events not occured), an incredibly badass knife fighter that Tohno Shiki cannot defeat ''even once'', despite Nanaya not sharing Tohno Shiki's [[Evil Eye|Mystic Eyes]].

** {{spoiler|Tohno Shiki lacks the ability to perceive those lines during each of those fights, though.}}

* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: (game) Akiha has a very strong [[Big Brother Attraction]] (and can be scarily possessive), more or less obvious depending on the route. {{spoiler|Granted, [[Not Blood Siblings|Shiki is adopted]], surprise! ...Not.}}

** In Akiha's own route, after {{spoiler|she and Shiki sleep together}}, {{spoiler|her jealous ''blood-related'' big brother SHIKI decides he wants to take over that relationship}}... and [[Squick|apparently changes the unconscious Akiha's clothes offscreen]].

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|That Ribbon, that damned ribbon.}}

** Also, {{spoiler|the game where Shiki and Akiha wrote their names on things in the mansion to "claim" them. It's unlikely many people thought Shiki and SHIKI would mean two different people.}}

** Justified in {{spoiler|SHIKI's case as Makihisa [[Mind Rape|brainwashed]] Shiki into forgetting him}}

*** Shiki ''does'' remember Kohaku and Hisui. After you finish the first set of routes you get the option to think about them in your next game, including the fact that it was the memories of {{spoiler|the twin he thinks is Kohaku}} that helped Shiki for all those years.

* [[Harem Genre]]: Eight girls confirmed, and maybe Len considering by preference she wants to sleep with him rather than get his blood, either of which work. Lampshaded by Arihiko who is [[Unwanted Harem|frustrated at how suddenly no girls are interested in him]] yet Shiki has about... well, eight or nine hanging around him all the time.

** The harem feeling is, for the most part, absent in the orignal game.
