Tsukihime explained (and also reviewed)(and also Melty Blood)

A brief, bite-sized explaination of tsukihime and its lore. Some lore things specifically from melty blood will also be discussed. Of course, this refers both to the old Tsukihime and Melty Blood, not the remakes.
As a side note, I use the words "game" and "visual novel" interchangably, this is the way Japan does it, but it tends to offend some people for some reason. I'm not planning on doing anything about it.
There's also a review as well.
The video should probably be listened to moreso than watched. There are some small easter eggs and visual things in there but it's not essential to watch it. The background footage was recorded from me playing the game, and I apologize if it has me reading too fast.

I love how you assumed I got the Ciel route the first time because she's best girl. No I kept getting stuck in the bad ending loop because it is not in my nature to continuously blow off one girl to talk to another. I am terrible at visual novels.

[@vishnuvenkatesh7592]

Man this is one of my favourite Tsukihime videos out there. The quality is top notch. The humor is just amazing.

[@vishnuvenkatesh7592]

This is one of the best Tsukihime videos I've seen. Had my attention for the whole duration. Really good timing and delivery on the humor. Excellent job putting it together.

45:20 Aoko DOES actually make use of the 5th magic in Melty Cresent Moon Aoko has a move called "Repeat Magic" which is pretty obviously a use of the 5th magic's time manipulation (It repeats the last beam type move you used)

Regarding the weird French name "Ciel". Ciel just means sky. I guess Japanese might think that it's a name because Sora is a name that exist in Japanese that can be written with the kanji for sky. Ciel is supposed to be French but that's not a name used in France.

[@forseti5774]

@@minignoux4566 Person on the internet being wrong, what's new ? (I'm talking about me) Ciel is far from a common name tho. And from some quick research it seems to be more popular in other countries. No idea if it's true. I met more french people named Sora (2) than Ciel (0), probably the reason for my bias.

[@minignoux4566]

@@forseti5774 hmm? oh i wasn't imolying you were wrong, quite the opposite, i was highlighting the absurdity of one named "Ciel" wich isn't often the case in France i apologize if i seemed rude, it's quite hard to convey meaning trough text

Ciel isn't her real name, it's more of a code than anything, so it gets a pass.

[@unignorance7736]

I actually like the names, it feels strange and complicated As far as I know, Shiki Tohno explains Shiki Nanaya doesnt have Mystic eyes of death perception SHIKI can see points, but instead of death, he can cut off the life of it, like energy, thats why Shiki didnt die from getting hit in his point. Kishima Kouma wouldve died, but Nanaya Kiri didnt want to kill him cuz he was a child.

[@LightWavess]

Hmm... As far I remember somewhere in the either Tsukihime or Melty it's been mentioned Kohaku released SHIKI from his prison after brainwashing him to kill Makihisa.

[@straymerodach4713]

nice vid. nah, the Nanaya`s getting killed is just cuz Makihisa was scared of them. In Red Demon God, Kiri is hired to kill a Oni-hybrid who`se going off the deep end called Saiki. He was tipped off by Saiki`s secretary who is Makihisa. But because he meet and blinded child Kouma in the foyer, Kiri is a bit more unhinged when fighting Saiki(if you reread the scene, he basically murders Saiki like a horror movie monster, dragging him under the table and Saiki`s body parts just start flying out from underneath.) When he comes out from under the table, he just stabs the secretary, Makihisa who was there and saw the dismemberment, but because he was coming off his murder-high, he missed the vital point so Makihisa survived and has the Nanaya (except Shiki) all killed years later

[@alexlee4154]

This was excellent, I didnt have too much trouble getting tsukihime but there are a couple of things that are so overcomplicated that you kind of have to strip them down to "oh so basically this then" It was mentioned in kgetsu tohya that nanaya doesnt have the eyes of depth perception but given melty blood is a different version of him maybe that one does. But I do have to ask, where does the lore about type moon and that stuff come from? I know zelretch was in fate/stay night for a bit and bits and pieces of the crimson moon stuff are really badly explained in kagetsu tohya but is there another major source?

[@SebastianMartinezRivero]

This is real and I approve

[@adamice2526]

1:55:58 actually i believe she wears it in one of the bad endings in the arcueid route

[@alexlee4154]

I think it's the one where if you push yourself to see arcueid too many times then he collapses at school and, when he wakes up, kohaku baits him out into roa
