Welcome, moontards, to my very special portion about the elaborations of the connections pertaining to the entirety of TYPE-MOON’s so-called “Nasuverse”. Not like it’s anything big, but since I’m a lunatic myself, I’d figure I’d gatecrash into another one’s material and see what I can do since I’m still so far as to creating such big doujin or novel shit. And since I’m at the good mood about finally watching Kara no Kyokai’s third movie, why not start it with that?
Prepare for epic tl;dr battle.
Let’s start off with the characters. Main protagonist-antagonist, Ryogi Shiki. She was born in the rich family of the Ryogis, bent under the sole supervision of her father. Pretty much the same as Tohno Shiki if you look at it from the start. Only difference is, Ryogi is pure blood, while Tohno came from an enemy family of the clan, the Nanayas. Both got powers after they got into a life-threatening situation, Ryogi being involved in a car accident, Tohno being involved with the clan’s true heir of a son, which resulted of him being “involved” in a car accident. If you think about it, they also underwent Inversion Impulse, wherein they were devoid of any conscience and just followed what their mind or instincts started to tell them. Ryogi inverted due to the clashing of her egos, with the male and female trying to overpower each other till they merged as one cold-blooded killer, the similar yet opposite of the two personalities warring inside her. If compared, Tohno’s case was far too simplified: He inverted to his instincts and his bloodline. His hidden, second personality known as Nanaya Shiki awakened when she first knew of Arcueid Brunestud’s scent. Nanayas are demon-killers, and when there’s an anomaly in the world , they act upon what their blood tells them. Then again, isn’t that what the opposite personality is? The ugly facade of the harmless, unsullied persona that they are trying so hard to hide? That simply means Ryogi and Tohno are the same even though the means may be different.
Second similarity of the two Shikis: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Both have the ability to see lines and points to which they could perpetrate the end and death of things by means of cutting the said lines and points. Cut a line, a part where the line runs is cut. Stab a point, the entire existence from where the point is designated is destroyed. Nobody’s an exception, not even a god or an immortal. However, the difference in experience of use have garnered a great gap between the two Shikis. Ryogi was able to escalate the properties of her eyes to the extent that she was able to see and kill spirits, powers, and even things without form. She doesn’t suffer headaches like Tohno did. Tohno, on the other hand, had the ability to kill the properties of a certain realm or world, and can also kill an ego by means of ending not the physical material that binds the soul, but the soul itself, as to when he killed Roa from himself on one of Tsukihime’s routes.
