The problem here is that Hassan's Presence Concealment is only perfect when he's not going to attack. When he goes into the offense he becomes noticeable.

Shiki's not going to fight against Servants, definitely. He'll only go for the masters, which he would excel at.

Surprisingly, Shirou might actually be more of a problem for him than the other masters, since he has superhuman clairvoyance.

Serious Caster > Full power Aoko. NASU HAS SAID THIS EXPLICITELY. Shiki can't be a Servant because he's not part of the thrown of heroes. THIS IS OBVIOUS.

That said, Aoko is around equal to Lord El-Malloi II (Older Waver Velvet), so she's more powerful than any 5th War Master unless Dark Sakura counts. Aoko could probably parallel Kayneth El-Melloi and Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Shiki, going by his current stats, is perfect as you had him in the OP post, though the MEoDP is more like a Mystic Eyes type ability than a Noble Phantasm, and his knife's only ability as a conceptual weapon is to cut magecraft.

Noble Phantasms:

Rank: C

Nanatsu-Yoru

"Blade of Seven Nights" Imbued with magical energy from his own being as well as the lineage of the Nanaya, this knife which was used to kill Dead Apostles negates armor and defense, but can only inflict minor damage by itself. The magical energy within it renders it nearly unbreakable.

Rank: EX

Mystic Eyes of Death Perception

The most rare and powerful of the "Mystic Eyes', his eyes allow him to perceive magical flow, rather than emitting it. These eyes allow him to see the natural death and decay of material objects, inanimate and biological. By severing these "deathlines", he can effectively destroy an object's "lifeline" regardless of defense or awareness. However, the strain placed on the body is immense, and endurance, concentration, and magical energy deplete quickly when in use. Continued use renders the user in a daze, knowing neither enemy nor friend. The user will continue to kill indiscriminately until they regain control or fall from exhaustion.

Also, versus Akiha, since his bloodline WAS made for fighting demons, but not vampires and the like, he does go Nanaya on her. Akiha, on the other hand, is inverting, but Roa is (ironically thankfully) keeping her from inverting completely but making her really yandere in the process.

I see no inconsistency. Roa was omnipresent throughout Tsukihime: every bad thing in the entire game can be directly traced back to him. Kohaku going crazy? She would have just killed herself had he not been implanted in her via SHIKI raping her. The reason why he's such a pathetic bitch is because none of the bad things he does EVER work out for him; indeed, he ends up screwing himself over in every route. Well, it's not like he can control it, he's more like a bunch of memories and an impulse to do bad shit more than an actual person by then, and the memories were lost to everyone but SHIKI and Shiki in Ciel's route.

Nanaya of Kagetsu Tohya and Melty Blood is more like Shiki's leftover doubt of actually being a killer naturally, bloodline and all. In fact, had Shiki not had his family killed by Makihisa and Kouma, then that IS how he would have turned out, hence why Nanaya DOES NOT HAVE THE MEoDP.

Incomplete bullshit. When Roa appears as Roa, you're wrong. When SHIKI appears as SHIKI, you're right. Basically, the demonic impulse is stronger than Roa's will. If SHIKI inverts, Roa cannot control him. Same for Akiha, in the route she plunders him.

You're forgetting Sacchin. Hisui or Kohaku route, when Sacchin goes vampire on Shiki, he doesn't thrash about and wonder about what to do. He goes straight into killing mode.

When Sacchin says that Shiki is a liar because he said he'd help her, his answer is simply "I don't know anything about that."

This was never brought up, the point was that Roa was no longer a person but a bunch of memories and an impulse to kill people and suck their blood. An Inversion Impulse makes you want to destroy everything and to a lesser extent eat flesh. Everything else you're right on.

>>Same for Akiha, in the route she plunders him.

It's not merely that she plundered him from SHIKI, it's more like the "life" went to her, and Roa went with it. Akiha's impulse isn't nearly as strong as SHIKI's, so Roa was able to control it and influence Akiha. Without his memories slowly flooding you, Roa's influence isn't that bad, but at least it made her get angry and go yandere.

Anonymous Jones is right. Also, you're wrong about inversion impulse. It's not a specific set of thoughts. Inversion impulse just causes you to polarize your priorities.

Akiha before inverting wanted to protect Shiki more than anything. After inverting, she wanted to possess Shiki more than anything, even if it meant completely vaporizing him.

SHIKI wanted to protect Akiha when he was younger. He really loved her. He also considered Shiki like a brother. Didn't care that much for his father or his position. Just wanted to have fun.

After inverting, he completely flipped and wanted to destroy Akiha. Hated Shiki. Wanted more than anything to resume being the "real" Tohno Shiki.

Inversion impulse just polarizes your priorities. Roa was the thing that made SHIKI want to eat people. He was the "crazy guy in my head" that SHIKI was referring to.

Nevertheless, I will respond to the rest of your post.

>This was never brought up, the point was that Roa was no longer a person but a bunch of memories and an impulse to kill people and suck their blood. An Inversion Impulse makes you want to destroy everything and to a lesser extent eat flesh. Everything else you're right on.
The difference between the Near and Far side routes was SHIKI's inversion eight years ago. In the Near side, Roa gains control - or, the soul/will of Roa, if that's how you want to put it. In the Far side, SHIKI gives in to the impulses of his body and Roa is just a voice shouting in the back of his head. An Inversion Impulse is the body's will dominating the conscious will and nothing more. For demon hybrids, this is a complete personality reversal-- SHIKI went from nice guy to flesh-eating demon.

>It's not merely that she plundered him from SHIKI, it's more like the "life" went to her, and Roa went with it. Akiha's impulse isn't nearly as strong as SHIKI's, so Roa was able to control it and influence Akiha. Without his memories slowly flooding you, Roa's influence isn't that bad, but at least it made her get angry and go yandere.
Maybe I was unclear here. Akiha plundered SHIKI, and made him a part of herself. However, Akiha's blood is much more powerful than SHIKI's (re-read Tsukihime if you don't believe me) and she had already inverted, so again, Roa was useless.

>> No.1683492

But it seems like that only occurs after the real inversion. Remember, when SHIKI initially went crazy, he just went berserk. Same thing with Akiha. They only seemed to actually "invert" after the fact at the point where Roa is trying to take pseudo control but can't deposit his memories. They also seem to become vampiric at this point.

That depends. If you're saying her blood is purer and taking her over faster than SHIKI's is for him, then you're absolutely wrong because Makihisa's Journal said that he was already having trouble fighting his inversion, but if you're saying her blood gives her a stronger ability, then yeah, that sounds right.

His eyes let him see the death of all things. However, that death is only realized if he is the one doing the cutting (or another MEoDP user, presumably). If anyone else cuts that line, it's just another part of that object, right?

Then maybe he could do what Kiritsugu does and take a part of his bones infuse it in a bullet and shoot a dot out. Since by Nasu logic that infuses your concept into the bullet, hence it would be a part of him.

>> No.1683757

Also concerning the Tsukihime manga he didn't cut the line with his hand on that one dog of Nrvnsqr's.

Rather he stabbed the dog with his hand, and the surrounding area became weaker so naturally his eyes would then perceive a line appearing. At which point he can cut the line he created.

Fuck the man can make his own lines.

>> No.1683760

>>1683738
It's possible.
Also, he could learn enough magic to materialize the crocodile in his arm, and maybe more (we're never told how many beasts are used in the reconstruction). Those would still count as "part of Shiki". Crow-spam, maybe? He has the potential -- Arc says so, anyway -- and one of the KT stories hints at the possibility.

It's pretty much open-ended, since we don't know much more about Satsujinki.

>> No.1683827

Going back over that scene, his first thoughts when seeing her hair was "Kill her.", which is the standard Nanaya answer.

It was only an afterthought that "RAPE." popped into his mind, and he linked it with his dreams, which is probably SHIKI's influence there.

So Shiki's answer to anything unnatural is to kill it, unless influenced by RoSHIaKI.

ok, so about shiki's eyes. the way I understood it, is that the lines are ALWAYS there. ANYONE could use the lines if they knew they were there, but you have to cut through them perfectly for them to actually cut, which is something shiki can do. now, if shiki was some sort of amazing marksman, he could in theory, shoot a POINT that the lines intersect, and kill the object. think of it like this.

Shiki's eyes had originally been for Jougan. By experiencing temporary death, he was connected to Akasha and his brain came to understand death. His eyes work as a set with his brain and so he could see death directly.
