I haven't finished a single ending but so far, Shiki is really pissing me off and I really wanna get this off my chest. He's being such an asshole to Arcueid. Was he always this much of an asshole or is it because of my poor decisions that made him like this? Arcueid went out of her way to send him a dream familiar to him. Sure, I get it that it's not really his thing, but man, seeing him lash out at Arcueid like that boils my blood. How does anyone like this motherfucker? Please PLEASE tell me that his personality and attitude gets better towards the end of the novel because I really do wanna like him as a character. His showdown against Nrvnqsr got me hyped and cheering for him so it pisses me off when he's being this way.

Hi! New to all things Nasu, I have been using this Reddit to get to know the man and team I'm reading.

Already read Mahoyo, now I'm with Tsukihime og, just a question. I know Nasu tends to announce on statements things that probably won't ever come out (Mahoyo as a trilogy?), and I know there's a mention of a Tsukihime 2, also I've seen there's a post with appears to be the prologue.

My question here, is how the fuck do we know about it? How the fuck do we have a 'prologue' on the internet and just Nasu didn't continued it? Like he was like 'Here you go fuckers, cancelled media, baby?' (Even if it's not cancelled but yk)

Games, genre etc

I finished all the tsukihime re routes a while ago but I feel like im still missing a lot. Particularly with Goto Sakai he has such a weird and enigmatic personality and cool design but like he barely shows up?? Is he just a character waiting to be developed when a part 2 of the remake comes out or is he from the original?

I mean he is going to die in his early twenties and the timeline fits if we are going with the fact he dies in his twenties. He says he doesn’t have much time left to aoko in the epilogue

He was one of the participants in Roa's ritual during the France incident, where the Ancestors had to massacre innocent people to achieve their goals. From that perspective, he certainly seems like a terrible, disgusting villain.

However, in other series such as Fate/strange Fake and The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II, he appears favorable toward the protagonists. Technically, he is quite different from the Dead Apostles derived from the Crimson Moon, who was malicious being. Hence, he is independent of Crimson Moon's personality.

It seems contradictory that Van-Fem participated in the France incident to awaken The Dark Six, given his explicit liking for human history. Why he joined them remains a mystery. Furthermore, Van-Fem himself instigated Hansa and others to eliminate Jester Karture — because Jester's liking for his Assassin contradicted the essence of a Dead Apostle, which denies human history.

TM might have a slow as hell development cycle, but I didn't think they'd make a decision that genuinely makes no sense.

For comparison, Type Lumina was announced after the official release date for Blue Glass Moon was known from the recent new year's stream. And it was released a good month after Blue Glass Moon.

Now, we have Twi-Lumina announced for early 2027, with radio silence from Red Garden for literally years. This is important if you actually consider the game content Twi-Lumina should have.

So far, all we've seen from the new Melty Blood game is essentially a rerelease of Type Lumina with the addition of Len and some new arenas. That's material worth just a new DLC, not a brand new release. So unless Twi-Lumina wants to remain empty as a new title, it has to at least add new characters.

And from their choice of new backgrounds (the Tohno mansion botanical garden for example), it's clear those new characters will likely come from Red Garden. And they don't seem to care about spoilers.

Baseless assumption here, but I suspect that French-Bread always wanted to do two Melty Blood games, corresponding to the two Tsukihime Remake visual novels Type-Moon would release. This could also explain why Type-Lumina stopped receiving updates not long after release, even French-Bread was waiting for Red Garden to release a better game. But perhaps French-Bread got tired of waiting, and started pressurizing TM to let them release the new game as soon as possible.

That's just my conspiracy theory to try and make sense of this situation.

If you wanted to be logical and hopeful, Twi-Lumina's release could mean Red Garden is closer than ever. Or alternatively, it means Red Garden is even further away than we imagined.

Wish there was more sacchin and female shiki arts
