I suppose pieces of fiction that can conjure up grandiose delusions within impressionable, autistic readers could be called chuuni, but it's still wrong and retarded.

Not to mention that means every single piece of fiction that is not normal, everyday slice of life has the capacity to be chuuni.

"Super heroes" is different from "possessing power." None of the Tsukihime characters espouse beliefs in doing the right thing, so they have no interest in "being a hero." If you're comparing Tsukihime to Western superheroes, then you're a fucking moron.

I'm just going to assume you're a fucking moron, as that's the safest bet.

Except she's not a murderer on the inside. The part of her that was died. What's left is just living on, pretending that she is. The whole point of things is that Ryougi Shiki can keep pretending that she's a cold-hearted killer, but she lost that part, and everyone else knows it.
