Shiki appreciation thread

Quite possibly the worst visual novel I've ever had the misfortune of reading.

The romance sucked.
The two or three battles were shit.
The story never really went anywhere.
The writing and art were god awful trash.

Tohno can in fact kill servants.

When he killed Arcueid, 17 cuts landed in "an instant".
This is on the same level as 5th grail war Asassin's Tsubame Gaeshi. This is in fact canon. Non only that, but Arcueid was not able to notice she was being followed, nor feel any killing intent from Tohno until the blade already killed her. This is on the same level as asassin servant presence concealment.

In the official Tsukihime manga, Shiki was capable of slicing and killing lightning shot at him by Roa. A low estimate of the speed required for this would land at 96,000MPH, which is the atmospheric discharge of lightning at denser levels (closer to lower altitudes.)

Tying together presence concealment, Zelretch level ability (flash sheath), and A class speed, Shiki could in fact stand a chance against most servants. His trump card that would place him above anything summoned under asassin card would be that he essentially has an instant kill move if he ever gets near, making him a very deadly oponent.

To use concrete evidence of Shiki proving himself time and time again, we can look at who in fact he has killed.

Nrvnqsr Chaos the 10th apostle. In one attack Tohno managed to kill all 666 of his lives.

Michael Roa Valdamjong, said to be immortal by traveling between Akasha and back, "reincarnating". Tohno severed his connection to Akasha, erasing his existance.

It's good to take note here, that Servants are tied to the Akashic record in the throne of heroes, which is what allows them to be summoned in the first place. When shiki kills a servant, they can no longer be summoned. Sounds like just the kind of person Archer was looking for.

In the "Talk" side story for Tsukihime, Tohno manged to kill the forest of Einnashe, the seventh dead apostle. He also managed to kill Einnashe's reality marble.

However, none of this addresses the problem that he'd probably fry his brain just from thinking of killing one.

When Gilgamesh is summoned, the world doesn't view Gilgamesh as a magical construct with the shape and form of Gilgamesh.
It recognizes Gilgamesh as Gilgamesh, but also finds an error. Gilgamesh died so and so many years before BC, Gilgamesh is already dead! And because of this error the world tries its best to correct this mistake, hence the massive mana upkeep of sustaining a Servant. The only thing keeping them from being corrected is the constant stream of energy.

Any particular reason as to why the Shikis' Eyes would fare any better than the mechanisms of the world, and recognize them as something other than something already dead? Is one to believe that they are smarter, and thus have more control in how they can interpret things with their eyes? Or something like that, really?

At best, I could see them severing the contract feeding them with energy, like Rule Breaker.
But I can't believe it would be anywhere near easy for them to "kill" that of which is no longer part of the real world, nor even alive for that matter. An error the world itself fails to view in a manner enabling them to casually dispose of them. Why should Shiki be able to?

The protagonist of Tsukihime is Nanaya Shiki. Or used to be until he changed his name. Tohno Shiki is SHIKI, who reverted and killed (or not) Nanaya Shiki.

Melty Blood made things rather complicated by putting down both Shikis as almost the same guy, but MB's Nanaya Shiki is what Nanaya Shiki would have been if he had not been killed by Tohno Shiki (= SHIKI). So in MB Nanaya Shiki is a 'what-if' character, fictional even in the fictional world of the TMverse. For Tsukihime, Nanaya Shiki is the name people usually use to refer to the protagonist.

Ryougi Shiki is the protagonist of Kara no Kyoukai: the Garden of sinners.

And then there's Satsujinki...
