>Finally finished Ciel's route, thoughts on the last day
TO
FUCKING
LONG
I hated how long and over the top it was. I was costantly checking the clock due to how long it was taking.
Ok, let's calm down a bit. I get that Nasu wanted to show how fucking over the top Arcueid is.
I get that this is her last appearance in the main story so he wanted to go all out, but I just extremely disliked how he did it.
By the time the roots appeared I was already tired, it didn't felt at all like I was reading Tsukihime.

Last bit of the route, once again there is a tease on Red Garden with the other 3 heroines telling Shiki to stay more with them.
The tease was already in the original VN, but here it's even bigger: "you should come back for Red Garden since you are missing A LOT!"
The tease of Akiha's and Sacchin's interaction was cute. No fuck it, all the interactions were cute, as if I didn't wish to read Red Garden already.

>Overall thoughts
This route is 95% better than the original one without doubts.
I actually care for Ciel and she costantly doing her best to help Shiki and the city. The interactions between her and Shiki were cute and I wanted more of them!
Noel while a bitch is a good addition, especially for Ciel. I'm not a fan of her DAA's design but I actually liked her final stand down more than I expected.
I honestly liked the Church people, it made no sense how only Ciel was present in the original despite dealing with Roa, a notable parasyte.
Mario as well seemed over the top but after a while it was a treat hearing him shitting on everyone. And if he is really Laurentis getting younger than I get why he is costantly pissed off.
Inui is more present and you perceive him more as a friend, something I felt extremely lacking in the original.
Arach as well is a bit over the top, despite how out of place she feels I liked her more than expected. But that could change in the Red Garden, I fear she might steal a lot of stuff from Kohaku.
Despite being sad I actually liked more how the neutral ending was achieved.

>Random thoughts that I have right now on my head
So, now I ask for those who have been theorizing longer than me what theories were created in the last 2 years. What I can come up with is:
>Satsuki has been turned in the Ciel's route but managed to avoid both Ciel and Arc and is hiding better her dead apostle status
>Arach with the help of Makihisa was planning to recreate the same ritual of French, she is an architech and the underground belongs to the Tohno
The main reason why she did not act too much during Near side is because the underground was partially destroyed due to Vlov making it useless for now.
The question is: did she ipnotize Makihisa or did she promise to find a way to stop SHIKI's turning so he helped her willingly?
>I can see Gotou being a midboss in one of the next routes... maybe in Hisui's? Or maybe in Akiha's? I can see Kouma coming down during Akiha's route because Goto called him since Akiha loses control.
Satsuki it's a big question, maybe in her route Nero comes back like many theorized.
I have no idea where Arach could be the main antagonist though, either in Hisui's route or Satsuki's?
If there is some file on the internet that has them all I'll be glad to read it.
I also read that there are some theories based on the new Melty Blood, but that it's translation is shit, anywhere I might find the proper one?
